My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 724 Can You Forgive Me (4)

"Perhaps the bond between us as mother and daughter hasn’t ended yet. I never thought we would meet again under such circumstances, nor did I expect you and Xin Ruo to connect like this. Blood ties are truly a magical thing, aren’t they?"

"At that time, I thought to myself that this was heaven’s blessing to me. It gave me another chance to treat you well, to make up for all these years of neglect."

"Xin Yan, I am an unqualified mother, but from now on, I want to do my best to be a good mother to you and Xin Ruo. So...can you forgive me?"

When she received the invitation to meet, she was both anxious and expectant, afraid to think in this direction, yet unable to stop herself. She even nervously asked Gu Ningyi about it.

Unexpectedly, everything went exactly as she had imagined.

The mother who was once so ruthless and heartless now humbly begged for her forgiveness.

She should have been excited, happy, thrilled. But why did she always feel hazy, unreal? She sat in a daze, not knowing how to react.

Dong Xin Yan remained silent, while Lady Wei observed her face, approximately guessing what she was thinking.

Everything happened too suddenly; she needed time to adapt and digest.

Even if she was anxious, she couldn’t force her.

But it didn’t matter; she still had time, and she needed time to properly deal with Gu Ningyi’s side.

For her, the real obstacle was Gu Ningyi.

The two of them left the restaurant, Lady Wei’s car was already waiting at the entrance. The driver opened the door to the back seat for her. She turned her face to Dong Xin Yan and gently said, "Xin Yan, get in the car, I’ll take you home."

Dong Xin Yan shook her head, "No need, Lady, Lady Wei, Gu Ningyi will come to pick me up. You go ahead first."

Dong Xin Yan’s address made Lady Wei’s eyes dim slightly, but she forced a smile, "Then I’ll wait with you for him."

Dong Xin Yan initially wanted to say no, but Lady Wei’s stance was firm, so she swallowed her words slowly.

The two of them stood shoulder to shoulder at the entrance of the restaurant.

When she left back then, she was still so very small, so small that even when she hugged her legs tightly, she could not stop her steps. And now... she’s slightly taller than her.

Although she has taken good care of herself over the years, if you look closely, you can still see slight wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and strands of white hair hidden at her temples.

The words she just said to her didn’t actually move her, because she had once hoped too much and was deeply hurt. It was impossible for a few words to change everything. But now... as she looked at her like this, her heart involuntarily trembled and softened.

Her mother was indeed selfish and wronged her, but after all, she is her mother. She can never forget the mother who once had a gentle smile and a doting gaze.

Gu Ningyi’s car arrived quickly, steadily stopping at the restaurant entrance. Gu Ningyi got out from the driver’s seat, striding towards them.

Gu Ningyi walked to Dong Xin Yan’s side, naturally wrapping his arm around her waist, then nodded slightly at Lady Wei, "Lady Wei."

Lady Wei replied, "Mr. Gu."

Dong Xin Yan glanced towards Lady Wei, her red lips parted slightly, "Then I’ll go first, be careful on your way back."

Her lips trembled slightly, and the hands hanging by her sides clenched tightly. Then she softly let out a word from her throat, "Mom."
