Chapter 378: Chapter 377 Renewal (7)
Yuan Shi spoke, pausing slightly to take a deep breath before continuing, "Dong Xin Yan... may not be entirely without feelings for you."
She spoke rapidly, fearing that if she slowed down, she wouldn’t be able to say it.
Gu Ningyi was surprised by Yuan Shi’s words, slightly startled, then his dark eyes narrowed, "Yuan Shi, what do you mean by that?"
What does it mean that Dong Xin Yan may not be completely indifferent to him?
"Do you know something?"
The happenings between Gu Ningyi and Dong Xin Yan during those two months were actually not clear to her, what she knew came from Zhou Yalin, who had spilled the truth after drinking.
At that time, Zhou Yalin was constantly indignant, cursing Dong Xin Yan, saying Dong Xin Yan was shamelessly seducing Gu Ningyi, making Gu Ningyi fall in love with her.
So she thought, Dong Xin Yan must have feelings for Gu Ningyi, and it’s not just Gu Ningyi’s unrequited love, otherwise, Zhou Yalin wouldn’t hate Dong Xin Yan so much, wouldn’t be so wary of her.
But these, she could never honestly tell Gu Ningyi, after all, she and Zhou Yalin were still friends. Gu Ningyi could investigate these things himself, but absolutely not hear it from her.
She lowered her eyes, avoiding Gu Ningyi’s gaze, bit her lower lip with her teeth, and added, "Yi, I just think, if you’re willing to give your all, no woman can possibly dislike you. If... if you really love Dong Xin Yan that much, then you shouldn’t give up lightly."
Each word felt like a knife cutting deeply into her heart.
She always considered herself not to be a great or selfless person, on the contrary, whatever she wanted, she would strive to fight for it. For all these years, she liked Gu Ningyi, so she used her own way to fight for him, exhausting effort and means.
Never did she think, the day would come when she would... persuade the person she liked to pursue another woman.
As Yuan Shi continued to speak, her voice lowered and her tone became hoarse. She swallowed hard, forcefully suppressing the bitterness and sadness in her heart, then lifted her eyes, holding back tears, and continued hoarsely, "Yi, I’m telling you one last thing... Cheng Ziyang will be taking Dong Xin Yan abroad tomorrow."
She knew about this because she thought the hypnosis thing was somehow suspicious, so she had people monitor Cheng Ziyang and Dong Xin Yan’s every move in recent days, thus knowing they would leave the country tomorrow.
Originally, their departure would have made her the happiest, but now...
After saying this, the tears fell like broken pearls, she could no longer hold them back, clapping her hand over her mouth, she turned and ran out of the room through the door.
Not knowing how long she ran, she suddenly stopped, her entire strength seemingly drained, crouching down powerlessly, she couldn’t help but cry out loud.
From childhood to now, she always chased after Gu Ningyi, even though he never responded, but she never lost hope, because she believed, as long as she persisted, he would like her, like a firm and unwavering belief.
Unfortunately, that belief is no more, it will never exist again...
Ultimately, she still resented and blamed, so regarding Dong Xin Yan being hypnotized, with her memory altered, she couldn’t bring herself to speak of it.
Let’s just consider this as Gu Ningyi’s punishment for letting her down.

Cheng Ziyang booked the tickets overnight; it’s a flight at 10:30 tomorrow morning. In the evening, he had to return home to say goodbye to Mrs. Cheng, so they agreed to meet directly at the airport tomorrow.
