My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 743 You Are Not Worthy of Him (3)

Dong Xin Yan’s grip tightened further, her nails slightly pressing into her palm. She took a breath and said, "Madam, did you ask me out today just to have afternoon tea with me?"

"Of course, Ning Yi has officially brought you home and said he wants to marry you. Naturally, I need to spend more time with you to get to know you better. At the same time, it will also help you understand Ning Yi’s circle, so you can quickly get accustomed and fit in."

Madam Gu spoke methodically, then suddenly seemed to remember something and raised her eyebrows slightly, continuing, "Did you think I was deliberately trying to humiliate you just now?"

Dong Xin Yan’s lips moved slightly, but she did not speak.

Madam Gu didn’t mind and continued, "I can understand why you might feel that way now, but, Xinyan, if you can’t handle even this, what will you do in the future?"

"Being with Ning Yi means there will be social events and gatherings. When he takes you to introduce you to his friends, relatives, and business partners, they will inevitably inquire about your family and background, just like today. If you feel that everyone is trying to humiliate you, how will you accompany Ning Yi through these gatherings?"

Madam Gu wasn’t aggressive, nor did she use insulting words, but every word she spoke was like a fine needle piercing into Dong Xin Yan’s heart, causing her face to turn slightly pale.

"Ning Yi isn’t interested in Zhou Yalin or Yuan Shi, yet he chooses you. I am indeed a little displeased, as Ning Yi deserves the best girl in the world, regardless of looks, family, or background. However, since he likes you, I must respect my son’s wishes and accept the girl he loves."

"But Xinyan, although the Gu Family doesn’t need a marriage alliance to add splendor, to become the future mistress of the Gu Family, you, as you are now, I’m afraid... it won’t do."

"I say this not to interfere with you, but to give you a kind reminder from an elder’s perspective. For two people from different backgrounds to come together, adapting to each other’s circles is not easy. There are many things that cannot rely solely on love. Who knows when love might fade, right?"

Dong Xin Yan steered the wheel with one hand and rested her other hand on the car window, smoothing her forehead and brushing her bangs aside. Her dark eyes blinked, and her eye rims became slightly acid and swollen.

Today was indeed a Hongmen banquet, and yet, at this Hongmen banquet, Madam Gu did nothing but say a few words, which left her utterly defeated.

She wasn’t afraid of Madam Gu using any hard tactics to break them up, and she was even mentally prepared to never give in, no matter what.

However, she didn’t try to break them up; she was even accepting, only... she made her aware of what the future with Gu Ning Yi might hold.

Cinderella marries the Prince, holds a grand wedding, moves into a luxurious palace, and spends every day with the Prince. Will they truly live happily ever after?

Perhaps, but maybe... happiness is just fleeting.

Because Cinderella and the Prince, after all, are people from two different worlds. They have different values, different circles, different ideas. Over time, when love fades, conflicts are bound to surface, aren’t they?

So, will she and Gu Ning Yi... be the same?
