My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 496: Let’s Not Meet for Now (10)
She paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and continued, "Moreover, even if I choose you in the future, he will still be my family, and I can never ignore him in this lifetime."
Gu Ningyi knew in his heart that losing his temper at a time like this was very irrational, that getting angry would only make the relationship they’ve slowly tried to mend become strained again, and that being petty would just push Dong Xin Yan towards Cheng Ziyang.
He understood the reasoning, but hearing her cold yet serious tone as she spoke of her feelings for Cheng Ziyang, he wanted to hold back, but he couldn’t.
In her heart, he has always been the underdog. Now, he doesn’t even have the right to be concerned or care?
What did she mean by choosing him in the future yet not ignoring Cheng Ziyang?
Did that not mean she might as well just say she would choose Cheng Ziyang and not him, Gu Ningyi!
Once, he was anguished and regretful for meeting her first but failing to seize the opportunity, ultimately missing out on her. But now he realized that even if he had seized that opportunity, the final outcome would still be the same, wouldn’t it?
In just a day, he lost and regained her, and yet, in just a day, his hope was shattered.
Dong Xin Yan, you’re truly ruthless.
Gu Ningyi’s body gradually cooled down, the smile playing on his lips turned more sarcastic, "Dong Xin Yan, you say you’re confused and haven’t sorted things out, but in reality, you’ve made things quite clear in your heart, haven’t you? If that’s the case, why give someone hope? Is playing with people fun for you?"
When people are irrational, they often speak without restraint, and when people are disheartened, they tend to misinterpret the meanings in others’ words.
At this moment, both Gu Ningyi and Dong Xin Yan were in those respective states, neither aware if the sharpness was due to caring too much, only feeling that the other’s words lacked trust and only held hurt.
In Dong Xin Yan’s heart, recalling everything from yesterday and reuniting with Gu Ningyi truly made her happy, and she genuinely wanted to sort out her feelings and be true to them, which was why she chose to be selfish even as she watched Ziyang in such pain and sadness.
But did her struggles, conflicts, guilt, and distress just look like she was playing a game in Gu Ningyi’s eyes?
Time, perhaps, is the most terrifying enemy. Her feelings for him still lingered in the past, yet his feelings for her persisted up until now, leading to the imbalance between them, and he didn’t even have the time to allow her to catch up.
Dong Xin Yan felt increasingly disheartened; things change, people change. She finally understood the sourness and helplessness encapsulated in that phrase.
Dong Xin Yan’s lips turned a bit, unable even to pull up a bitter smile. After leaving the balcony, she stood in place, not entering the house. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Where daylight was once bright and clouds far away, she didn’t know when clouds had come rolling in, covering the sun, and the entire sky had turned gloomy.
The warm wind slowly turned into a cold one, brushing unkindly past her. Dressed only in thin home attire, Dong Xin Yan couldn’t help but shiver, yet her heart felt even colder.
Dong Xin Yan bit her lower lip lightly with her teeth, her hand clutching the phone tightened bit by bit. Finally, she took a gentle breath, her red lips moved slightly, her voice low and firm, "Gu Ningyi, I think we need to calm down for a while; let’s not meet each other for now."
