Chapter 439: Chapter 438 Engagement (8)
Moreover, she had previously wrongfully accused him without distinguishing right from wrong. He was never a good person, always bearing grudges, so how could he possibly repay grievance with virtue?
Could it be that Gu Ningyi would even go so far as to find someone to get engaged to in order to help her clear things up?
Just thinking about it made her laugh at herself. She wasn’t anyone special, so why would Gu Ningyi sacrifice like that for her?
Thinking of this, Dong Xin Yan couldn’t help but snicker. Right, it’s impossible.
As for that kind person from yesterday...
Dong Xin Yan tried hard to recall, but she still couldn’t confirm whether that kind person was Gu Ningyi. It was just a feeling, but feelings... aren’t always accurate.
So, it was just a coincidence. Gu Ningyi could have various reasons for releasing this kind of news, but that reason certainly wouldn’t be because of her.
"Xinxin? What’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you speaking?"
There was a long silence from Dong Xin Yan on the other end of the phone. Mrs. Cheng grew more worried, thinking Dong Xin Yan was unwilling to forgive her, and said again, "Xinxin, auntie knows you feel wronged. It was auntie’s fault, auntie shouldn’t have doubted you, I’m sorry. Just think of auntie as muddle-headed, don’t hold it against auntie."
Dong Xin Yan’s thoughts were abruptly pulled back by Mrs. Cheng’s words. Startled, she hurriedly shook her head, "No, auntie, I’m not angry, I don’t blame you. I can understand what you did before, and now that you believe me, I’m very happy."
"Really? You’re not mad at auntie?"
"Of course not."
"That’s good, otherwise Ziyang would be mad at me too."
Mrs. Cheng breathed a sigh of relief with a smile and then said, "Xinxin, come over to our house for dinner tonight. We can properly discuss the wedding."
"Huh?"
At the sudden mention of the wedding, for some reason, Dong Xin Yan felt a bit absent-minded, unable to react.
"The wedding, your and Ziyang’s wedding. It’s all auntie’s fault. If auntie hadn’t been muddle-headed and opposed you these days, you might already be setting the date. Tonight, auntie will cook personally, let it be an apology, okay?"
"Oh, um, okay auntie."
Mrs. Cheng hung up the phone contentedly. Only then did Dong Xin Yan realize she had been foolishly standing at the door the whole time. No wonder the wind kept blowing in, chilling her to shivers.
She quickly returned to the room, closed the door, and when she walked back into the living room, she put down the newspaper in her hand. Unintentionally, she glanced at that news again, and her heart trembled uncontrollably.
But with just that glance, she quickly looked away and shook her head vigorously. Impossible, impossible, impossible!
Repeating it over and over in her heart, she didn’t know whether she was convincing herself or her own heart.

In the evening, Ziyang drove over to pick up Dong Xin Yan.
Dong Xin Yan walked out of the apartment building. Ziyang stood by the car, tall and upright, with a gentle and refined appearance. He smiled at her, his eyes as picturesque as a painting. The gloom of the past few days was dispelled by the bright sun today’s weather brought.
Dong Xin Yan looked at him, her red lips curled up slightly, and she quickly strode towards him. But after just a few steps, Gu Ningyi’s figure unexpectedly flashed in her mind. She paused, her steps coming to an abrupt halt.
"Xinxin, what’s wrong?" Seeing Dong Xin Yan suddenly stop, Ziyang couldn’t help but step forward.
Cheng Ziyang’s dark eyes landed on Dong Xin Yan’s face, filled with confusion and concern.
