My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 745 You Are Not Worthy of Him (5)

Gu Ningyi called and suggested having dinner together.

Dong Xin Yan sat in the car, took her bag, fetched a makeup kit from it, opened it, and carefully touched up her makeup. She glanced left and right in the mirror, making sure there were no traces of tears before closing the makeup kit, placing it aside, starting the car, and merging into traffic.

Dong Xin Yan walked into the restaurant where Gu Ningyi was sitting by the window. He had taken off his suit jacket, wearing only a white shirt, lazily leaning against the chair’s back, his legs elegantly crossed, gazing out the floor-to-ceiling window, his dark eyes profound and deep.

Sitting there quietly, he was already a stunning picture.

Dong Xin Yan’s steps paused slightly.

She had always looked at this man on level ground, as if there was never any distance between them.

But it turns out, he was not someone she could see eye to eye with. The distance between them was very, very far, indeed.

As if, it was only as if.

Her hands hanging by her sides gradually clenched, and there was a trace of dimness in Dong Xin Yan’s eyes. But soon, she worked hard to suppress those negative emotions, raised the corners of her lips, and walked over slowly.

Upon hearing the footsteps, Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes shifted, his gaze accurately landing on Dong Xin Yan. He curled his lips, stood up, walked behind her, and pulled out a chair for her.

Dong Xin Yan smiled and responded, "Thank you."

The waiter approached, handed them the menus, and asked them for their orders.

Dong Xin Yan opened the menu, everything was in French, and she couldn’t understand a word, only those outrageously high prices.

She quietly raised her eyes.

Opposite her, Gu Ningyi was calm and collected, accustomed to it, and when he spoke, fluent French flowed from his lips, elegance and nobility in his every bone.

It’s not that she hadn’t been to high-end restaurants before, but every time she visited such places, she pretended to be elegant, unlike him, who was truly elegant.

And compared to such high-end restaurants, to be honest, she preferred small diners, street stalls; that was where she belonged.

Gu Ningyi ordered the dishes, opened a bottle of red wine, and the waiter poured the wine for them before respectfully retreating. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Gu Ningyi picked up the wine glass, gently swirled it, took a sip, and spoke lightly, "Did you go out today? I called the villa in the afternoon, and no one answered."

Dong Xin Yan lowered her eyelids, her hand resting on the table clenched slightly, her voice soft, "Mm, I went to the company."

Gu Ningyi nodded, "Your agent didn’t give you a hard time, did they?"

"No, she doesn’t have time to trouble a no-name N-list artist like me," Dong Xin Yan replied half-jokingly, half-self-deprecatingly.

"Why? Want to be famous? I can make you a household name overnight."

"Oh?"

Gu Ningyi’s hand reached over, covering Dong Xin Yan’s hand, gently squeezing her palm, his dark eyes blazing, his thin lips parting lightly, "Marry me, and you’ll be on the front page for the next six months."

Dong Xin Yan’s back stiffened, she blinked, trying hard to maintain a calm demeanor. She gave Gu Ningyi a reproachful look, "Not serious!"

As she spoke, she tried to subtly withdraw her hand, but Gu Ningyi wouldn’t let go; instead, he tightened his grip.

"Dong Xin Yan, before meeting the family, you treated my proposal as a joke. Now that you’ve met the family, why don’t you believe my proposal?"

Dong Xin Yan’s heart skipped a beat, afraid he might notice something. She stammered, "No... no, it’s just... just...."
