Chapter 436: Chapter 435 Engagement (5)
Zhou Yalin pursed her lips, her pale cheeks surprisingly flushed with a hint of red. She continued her heartfelt confession, "In my heart, our engagement never ended. I know the things in the past were my mistakes, I deceived you, it was my fault. But Ning Yi, I truly love you sincerely. I was just afraid of losing you, that’s why I did those wrong things. Could you forgive me this once, for the sake of the years of affection between us?"
As she finished, her eyes moistened, gazing tearfully at Gu Ningyi.
In all honesty, Zhou Yalin is indeed a great beauty, with delicate and perfect features, flawless, her fair skin exuding a pink hue, and her figure was curvy and shapely. Those long legs were particularly sensual and captivating.
When she looked at someone with tears in her eyes, her voice choked with pleading, most men would give in, would soften.
Unfortunately for her, she encountered... the only man who wouldn’t soften.
Gu Ningyi listened to Zhou Yalin’s earnest confession with an expressionless face, only to let out a cold laugh.
That laugh made Zhou Yalin’s heart tremble violently, a foreboding sensation swiftly surged up.
"Forgive you?"
Gu Ningyi was clearly laughing as he questioned, but his tone carried a chilling force that directly pressed towards Zhou Yalin, causing her to involuntarily step back.
Gu Ningyi stood up abruptly, bypassed the desk, took a large stride, and directly closed in on Zhou Yalin.
"Zhou Yalin, I’ve been merciful by not tearing you to shreds, and you actually have the nerve... to ask for my forgiveness?"
His voice was low, even with a melodious tone, but to Zhou Yalin’s ears, it was icy and extremely dangerous.
Zhou Yalin swallowed hard, her body trembling with fear, yet her face still forced a brave front, "Ning... Ning Yi, I, I truly know I was wrong."
"Know you were wrong?"
Gu Ningyi seemed to find something laughable, his dark eyes fixed on her, chuckled twice, then smashed a fist onto the tall antique vase beside him.
The vase shattered instantly upon hitting the ground, making a loud noise, causing Zhou Yalin to choke on her breath, standing there dumbfounded.
Gu Ningyi’s punch, if it landed on her body... she couldn’t even dare imagine.
And in the next second, Gu Ningyi stepped on the shattered glass on the ground, walking directly up to her, those long, beautiful fingers, like iron chains, forcefully wrapped around her neck.
His eyes were icy, dark and deep, with wild surges rolling within, glaring at her, and his voice sounded as if it came from hell, each word resounding in her ear, "Know you were wrong? When has Zhou Yalin ever known she was wrong? Don’t think I don’t know who’s behind this incident with Dong Xin Yan."
"Zhou Yalin, do you know, no matter what wrong you do, I can forgive you, but in the case of Dong Xin Yan, even if you touch her once, I will definitely not forgive you!"
"So, don’t speak the words forgiveness in front of me, you’re not worthy!"
"This is the last time, don’t appear before me again, and never touch Dong Xin Yan, or else, I will let you taste what it means to live a life worse than death!"
-
Outside, the world was in chaos, yet Dong Xin Yan was completely unaware, nestled in her small bed, sleeping obliviously.
Because in her subconscious, she didn’t want to wake up, only wishing to sleep, so she wouldn’t have to face the reality she didn’t want to confront.
But...
