My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 472: Do You Want Me or Him (2)

It turns out, in a past he was unaware of, she suffered such harm, and he knew nothing about it...

In this long, mistaken love affair, the one in pain wasn’t just him, but her too.

Back then, how scared she must have been...

"To be honest, I was quite foolish at that time. The person who had always been with you was me, yet I didn’t dare to trust my own feelings, or believe in your... feelings for me. If I had been more confident, more sure, I wouldn’t have believed the things Zhou Yalin said. Perhaps, I wouldn’t have forgotten you... and we wouldn’t have..."

Before she could finish, Dong Xin Yan felt a tightness on her shoulder, and the next second, she was pulled into a familiar, warm embrace.

Then, Gu Ningyi’s husky voice echoed in her ear, "I’m sorry."

Dong Xin Yan was taken aback.

Gu Ningyi’s arms slowly tightened, his cheek gently brushed against hers, his voice deepening, "You’re not foolish, the foolish one is me. All these years, you’ve been by my side, yet I couldn’t recognize you. You fell into the water, got hurt, lost your memory, and I knew nothing about it. The one who should apologize is me."

All these years, even when something felt off, he never delved deeper. All these years, he found himself unconsciously drawn to Dong Xin Yan’s side but never clearly saw his own heart, even evaded and struggled with himself for so long. How could he blame her?

If he had realized his own feelings earlier, admitted his feelings sooner, they might not have only found each other now.

All the fears and grievances seemed to dissipate little by little with his words. The chill within her body also slowly faded away. Dong Xin Yan’s hands gradually lifted and hugged him back.

She gently shook her head in his arms, "Thankfully, I remembered you."

That’s right, thankfully, she remembered him. Thankfully, they didn’t truly miss each other.

Gu Ningyi’s gaze was soft, his lips curved lightly, "Xinyan, thank you, thank you for remembering me."

Happy moments always seem exceptionally brief. The two of them stayed there quietly, and time unknowingly passed by, as the sky gradually darkened.

Dong Xin Yan inadvertently looked up, catching sight of the wall clock. Seeing the time, she couldn’t help but pause, "Why is it so late?"

Gu Ningyi instinctively followed her gaze. The clock had already pointed to ten at night.

But for him, no matter if it’s ten, eleven, twelve, or midnight, it’s not late at all.

"It’s only ten."

"It’s already ten!"

Dong Xin Yan emphasized, turning her head to look outside, where it was already completely dark, "Look, it’s so dark outside."

While speaking, she stood up from the sofa, picking up her bag, and said to Gu Ningyi, "Gu Ningyi, I have to go back."

After finally reuniting, finally recognizing each other, they only spent such a short few hours together, which couldn’t possibly make up for the years of separation. Naturally, Gu Ningyi was unwilling to just let her go.

"Can’t you stay a bit longer? We’ve been apart for so long, can’t we spend a little more time together? One more hour? Half an hour? Hmm?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes burned intensely, steadily gazing at her, his voice low and soft, tinged with an enchanting magnetism, with subtle hints of allure, making one irresistibly want to nod.
