Chapter 374: Chapter 373 Renewal (3)
"Mm."
Cheng Ziyang nodded at Dong Xin Yan and said, "Your hypnosis therapy is completely finished today, so we can go on our trip tomorrow."
Dong Xin Yan listened, but lightly furrowed her brows. "We can go, but we haven’t booked the flights or hotel yet."
"No worries, I’ll take care of that. You just need to be on the plane on time tomorrow."
Dong Xin Yan burst into laughter and teased, "Is it that I bring you, and you bring the money?"
Cheng Ziyang was amused, his gaze at her filled with endless tenderness. He replied gently, "Yes, you bring me, and I’ll bring the money."
Dong Xin Yan instantly cheered, turned around, and skipped back to her room with light steps.
Cheng Ziyang watched Dong Xin Yan’s back, his smile gradually fading, with a hint of pain slowly spreading in his eyes.
Xinxin, I’m sorry.
I can’t afford to lose you, so... I can only choose to be selfish.
This lifetime, I’ll do my utmost to give you the greatest happiness, I swear.

Black Pool, in the VIP room.
Yuan Shen won again over the other three, yet there wasn’t a hint of joy between his brows, instead appearing somewhat bored. President Li, who was losing the most, was quite disgruntled, "President Yuan, people often say success in love means failure in gambling, but it doesn’t apply to you. You’re successful in both romance and gambling."
As he spoke, he glanced at the glamorous and alluring woman snuggled next to Yuan Shen, an uncontainable envy in his eyes.
Yuan Shen lazily raised his gaze, glancing at the woman beside him without any joy, only irritation.
Success in romance?
Which eye of his saw him successful in romance?
This woman, he looked at her pretty and delicate face, and so many names flashed in his mind, none of which he could match with hers. How could she make him successful in romance?
Feeling vexed, he pushed away the cards in front of him, stood up, and said a bit apologetically, "I’m done playing, you guys go ahead, I don’t want any of the money I won earlier."
President Li opened his mouth to stop him, but Yuan Shen directly told the beauty beside him, "Go accompany President Li."
President Li immediately closed his mouth, accepting this with a beaming smile.
Yuan Shen walked over to the booth where Gu Ningyi was quietly sitting. Nearly his entire body was hidden in the darkness, with only the dim light from the phone screen he held.
He sat down, leaned over for a glance, and couldn’t help but sigh, "Mr. Gu, even if you keep staring at your phone all night, Dong Xin Yan in the photo won’t appear. If you miss her, and want to see her, why not go find her directly?"
Find her?
After so many attempts, what’s the use?
Gu Ningyi smirked self-deprecatingly, set down his phone, picked up a glass of wine on the table, tilted his head back, and drank it in one go.
Yuan Shen observed Gu Ningyi’s expression, more or less understanding the situation. He was well aware of how deeply Gu Ningyi loved that girl from the past; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to tolerate Zhou Yalin despite his aversion to her.
Who would’ve known that the girl from back then was not Zhou Yalin, but Dong Xin Yan.
It’s just unfortunate that Dong Xin Yan now had Cheng Ziyang by her side.
It was foreseeable that Gu Ningyi was bound to hit a wall.
Yuan Shen poured himself another drink, also downing it in one go. The glass landed heavily on the table as he spoke in a deep voice, "Yi, what do you plan to do next?"
What to do next?
Gu Ningyi’s eyes filled with more self-mockery. If he knew what to do next, he wouldn’t be here drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
