Chapter 381: Chapter 380 Renewal (10)
Dong Xin Yan was just about to respond to Cheng Ziyang when another call came through on her phone. She glanced at it—it was from the taxi driver. The words "I love you" were swallowed back into her stomach. She quickly said, "Ziyang, I really can’t talk now. Let’s meet at the airport later, okay? Be careful on the way."
As soon as she said this, she didn’t wait for Cheng Ziyang to respond and ended the call, picking up the one from the taxi driver.
"Driver, please wait for me for two minutes. I’m coming down now."
Dong Xin Yan quickly changed clothes, threw on a coat, put on a hat, and hurried out with her luggage.
-
"Young master, Miss Dong has come out."
Old Chen’s voice broke the silence in the car. Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes suddenly opened. He turned slightly, his gaze landing accurately on Dong Xin Yan. He fixed his sight on her face for a few seconds, then slowly let it fall to the suitcase she was pulling.
His hand resting on his knee clenched bit by bit.
Dong Xin Yan dragged her luggage and quickly got into the taxi, which drove off.
Old Chen slightly raised his eyes, looking at Gu Ningyi through the rearview mirror. His gaze was deep, and his face was expressionless. He didn’t know what he was thinking. He waited a moment before speaking in a low voice, "Young master, should we follow?"
Should we follow?
Gu Ningyi’s thin lips parted slightly, but after moving for a while, he didn’t say a word.
His mouth could deny it, could say he didn’t want to force her anymore, or even hurt her...
But his heart insisted, a thousand times, ten thousand times, not to let go so easily, not to miss this chance.
...
"Brother, if you really like her, don’t let go, no matter what methods you have to use to hold onto her first, then slowly win her heart. At times like this, don’t pretend to be noble, because pretending will only lead to failure."
"Dong Xin Yan may not be completely without feelings for you."
"Yi, I just feel that if you’re willing to give your true heart, no woman could dislike you. If you really love Dong Xin Yan that much, don’t give up easily."
...
Yuan Shen and Yuan Shi’s words kept echoing in his ears, especially Yuan Shi’s remark that Dong Xin Yan might not be without feelings for him, sharply pierced his heart.
In truth, even though Dong Xin Yan spoke so harshly yesterday, he still couldn’t believe that during those two months, she never had a moment of genuine feelings for him, not a single bit.
He didn’t believe it, nor was he willing to accept it.
Dong Xin Yan, I’m sorry. In the end, I still can’t let you go.
Can I exchange my sincerity for another chance?
Gu Ningyi tightly closed his dark eyes, and after a moment, opened them again. All the struggle, hesitation, cowardice, and retreat in his eyes had vanished, leaving only determination.
He raised his hand, wiped his face, and then took out his phone to make a call.
-
Snow had fallen last night, leaving everything on the ground white. The car was driving slowly. During this time, Cheng Ziyang called twice more. Dong Xin Yan couldn’t help but say, "Ziyang, you’re acting so strange today. Why are you so persistent?"
Cheng Ziyang pressed his lips together in silence, unable to express his inner anxiety and worry, so he asked in a deep voice, "Where are you now?"
Dong Xin Yan turned her head to look out the car window and replied, "I’m almost there, just one more traffic light. I should be there in about ten minutes."
"I’ll wait for you, Xinxin."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Dong Xin Yan found it funny yet sweet, her lips involuntarily curling into a smile.
With a ding, her phone rang. She thought it was Ziyang again, but when she glanced at the screen, her smile froze.
