My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 753: You’re Just Informing Me (5)
Gu Ningyi came out of the villa, carrying a surge of anger. He walked swiftly towards the car, wanting to drive away, but after checking his pocket, he remembered that he hadn’t brought the car keys with him.
The frustration in his heart was even more blocked, and he frowned deeply, involuntarily kicking the car with force.
His gaze unintentionally fell ahead, on the grass still placed with those candles, but the candle flames had long been extinguished, leaving behind a mess.
Gu Ningyi reached into his trouser pocket and touched a square jewelry box. He took it out and opened the lid.
She wanted flowers, candles, and for him to kneel on one knee. He had prepared everything, but every time he meticulously prepared, there was never a good ending, just like the twists and turns in their relationship, with no end in sight.
Gu Ningyi’s hand suddenly tightened, the box snapped shut. He raised his hand, wanting to discard it, but when his hand was in the air, he paused.
He was always so useless, always unable to decisively cut things off, so Dong Xin Yan would exploit this, wearing down his feelings time and time again, right?
Gu Ningyi wanted to laugh, but it was only a bitter smile.
His hand eventually fell weakly, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
After a few rings, the other side picked up, and Gu Ningyi opened his lips, his voice hoarse, "Come out for a drink."
-
Black Pool.
Gu Ningyi and Yuan Shen sat side by side at the bar, silently downing drinks, each taking turns as if competing in some sort of contest.
Yuan Shen downed several drinks in a row, placing his glass down heavily, then turned to look at Gu Ningyi, and asked in confusion, "Hey, Mr. Gu, you survived a big ordeal, and now you’re successful in both love and career, so why the gloom?"
Successful in both love and career?
Gu Ningyi snorted coldly, giving Yuan Shen a sideways glance, "Who told you that?"
"What? Another problem? Didn’t you already bring Dong Xin Yan back home? Didn’t your mother agree, as well? I heard she even took her for afternoon tea, introducing her to everyone without reservation."
"Afternoon tea?" Gu Ningyi sharply grasped the keyword, "What afternoon tea?"
"You don’t know?" Yuan Shen countered, after pondering a moment, he continued, "I also heard from my grandmother, she said one of her card-playing friends happened to meet your mother at tea, and she introduced Dong Xin Yan directly as your girlfriend. I thought your next step would be to prepare for marriage."
Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes slightly narrowed.
His mother had met Dong Xin Yan alone, something... Dong Xin Yan hadn’t mentioned to him.
"When did this happen?"
Yuan Shen furrowed his brow, "A few days ago, hmm, about a week ago. I just happened to be at the old house for a meal then."
A week ago...
Sword shadows flickered in his mind, as if something passed by. He raised the glass in front of him and drank it all down in one go.
-
Dong Xin Yan cried and cried, and when tired, she fell asleep on the couch. She didn’t know how long she slept until she was awakened by the ringing of her phone.
She drowsily opened her eyes, her eyelids heavy with pain. She took a gentle breath, reached for her phone, and answered it.
"Hello..." Her voice was extremely hoarse, as though filled with gravel.
"Xinyan, what’s wrong with your voice?" Lady Wei, hearing Dong Xin Yan’s off-kilter voice, couldn’t help but feel worried, "What happened?"
Dong Xin Yan cleared her throat, but unfortunately, her tone was still weak, "I’m fine, it’s just... I talked to Gu Ningyi about that matter last night."
