My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 489 We Shouldn’t See Each Other For Now (3)

Ziyang has always been composed and gentle in front of her. Even when he was taken to the detention center back then, he never showed a hint of fear. But now, she actually saw panic and fear in his eyes.

Involuntarily, scenes from last night flashed through her mind — he was drunk, almost unconscious, yet still gripping her hand, repeatedly calling her name, pleading with her not to leave him.

Dong Xin Yan lowered her eyes, her heart swelling with an unbearable ache. Her hands unconsciously twisted together, her voice almost hoarse, "Ziyang, what are you saying? You’re drunk. Of course, I won’t leave you alone, after all, we... ."

She habitually said "we," but what are we really? Before, they were lovers, engaged to be married. Now... what are they?

Guilt and heartache spread wildly throughout her body. She couldn’t continue talking, abruptly turned around, and inhaled deeply, speaking in a low voice, "The porridge is ready, I’ll serve it for you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly walked away, as if fleeing.

Cheng Ziyang slowly lowered his eyes, looking at the cup of slightly steaming warm water in front of him, his gaze turning dim.

Cheng Ziyang drank the porridge and took a pill. He sat resting for a while, and his complexion gradually improved. Dong Xin Yan cleaned up the dishes, wiping her hands as she walked out of the kitchen.

She sat on the sofa, observed Cheng Ziyang, whose face still looked a bit pale but seemed much more alert, and secretly sighed in relief, "Ziyang, are you feeling better?"

"Mm."

Cheng Ziyang nodded, raised his gaze to Dong Xin Yan, his expression returning to its usual warmth, "Much better, thank you for yesterday."

Yesterday... thank you.

Such distant, courteous words; she never expected they’d appear between them.

Dong Xin Yan tightly pressed her red lips, her chest feeling increasingly suffocated. She could only force a smile, trying to appear relaxed, "Ziyang, between us, there’s no need for such words."

She truly meant this.

Not to mention that they are still fiancées now, even if in the future, she clarifies her feelings, and her choice is not him, it wouldn’t erase the many years of feelings between them.

Over the years, they were lovers, but even more so, family.

Whether it was him or Mrs. Cheng, they were her family.

Cheng Ziyang smiled, his thin lips parted slightly as he was about to speak, but his phone rang. He took it out, glanced at it, then said to Dong Xin Yan, "It’s Mom."

Dong Xin Yan nodded, signaling him to answer.

Cheng Ziyang pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear, "Mom." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Hmm, yes, I stayed at Xinxin’s place last night."

"Dinner? Tonight? Okay, I’ll ask her. Hmm, got it, okay, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Ziyang held the phone, fell silent for a few seconds, and softly said, "I haven’t told Mom about us not registering for marriage yet. She assumes we’re married and wants us to come home for dinner tonight."

Although Cheng Ziyang only spoke a few words, Dong Xin Yan could roughly guess what Mrs. Cheng said. She slightly furrowed her brows, a hint of struggle flashing in her eyes.

She initially planned to tell Ziyang at once that she had completely regained her memory and that she couldn’t marry him until she sorted out her feelings. But seeing him in such a state last night made her feel selfish for not considering his feelings, so she couldn’t bring herself to say it.

But now...
