My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 481: She Remembered Everything (3)

Coincidentally, that person also looked up and glanced over at him, their gazes meeting in the air, frozen in that moment.

Cheng Ziyang frowned slightly, it really was Zhou Yalin.

He was not too keen on seeing Zhou Yalin. Every time he met her, it always reminded him of the most despicable, filthy, and selfish side of himself.

Today, Dong Xin Yan said she couldn’t marry him for the time being. His heart felt as if it was being cut, desperately wanting to keep her at all costs, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn’t utter a thing, merely watching her leave.

Why?

Because he no longer had the right to stop her, nor the courage to prevent her.

He stood there, watching her slender figure running out of his sight, as if she was running directly out of his heart, step by step.

At that moment, if he hadn’t approached her through deceit, if he hadn’t feared her leaving and agreed to Zhou Yalin’s plan to alter her memory, he would have chased after her, he would have grabbed her.

Yet in this world, there are no ’ifs’, no assumptions.

Cheng Ziyang laughed at himself, raising the newly filled glass by the bartender, tilting his head back, and downing it in one go.

-

In Zhou Yalin’s life, there had never been a darker period than this; even when she had previously left for the United States, it hadn’t been as despairing as now.

No, perhaps it was better to say that when she went to the United States, she still had confidence, she could be fearless, but now, she was utterly in despair.

Completely without any confidence, even falling into deep fear.

When Gu Ningyi suddenly announced his engagement to Yuan Shi, she did not despair. She went to Gu Ningyi to apologize and reconcile, and though Gu Ningyi was so cold and heartless to her, she still did not despair, until...

She sought out Aunt Gu.

All along, Aunt Gu had doted on her the most, had been her most solid backing. Over the years, she had been wilful, affected, and domineering, one could say she was almost spoiled by her, so she was reckless, brazen.

She truly believed that no matter what happened, she would always be behind her, supporting her, backing her up.

She hadn’t expected that this time when she went to her, she seemed like a different person, who used to smile kindly, constantly telling her, "Yalin, in the future, marry Ning Yi and be a daughter-in-law to me."

Now she was so indifferent, so cold, telling her, "Yalin, you and Ning Yi are not meant to be, you should stop thinking about him."

In just one short sentence, it was like a death sentence, without even listening to her explanation.

Others didn’t know why Gu Ningyi agreed to marry Yuan Shi, but she understood it clearly. From beginning to end, everything he did was because of Dong Xin Yan, all because of her!

He had always deeply loved Dong Xin Yan, but Aunt Gu no longer wanted to listen to her, no longer wanted to help her.

For so many years, she had done so much, worked so hard to please Gu Ningyi, to please Aunt Gu, how could they treat her like this?

They could just discard her as if she was nothing, tell her to quit and just quit? With what right? Even allowing Yuan Shi, that bitch, to reap the benefits, with what right?

However, she heard that today Dong Xin Yan and Cheng Ziyang went to register their marriage, Dong Xin Yan became someone else’s wife.

Ha, she couldn’t attain the one she loved, Gu Ningyi couldn’t either. That’s great, really great...

She laughed wickedly with schadenfreude, downing drink after drink, never expecting that Cheng Ziyang, who should be spending a sweet wedding night with Dong Xin Yan, would appear here, sulking and drinking just like her.
