Chapter 379: Chapter 378 Renewal (8)
After Cheng Ziyang left, Dong Xin Yan took a bath and lay on the bed, thinking to sleep early so she could get up early tomorrow.
Since she started hypnosis therapy, she was no longer disturbed by those chaotic dreams. As soon as she closed her eyes, she could fall asleep quickly and wake up the next morning.
But tonight, although she had been tossing and turning for more than half an hour, she just couldn’t fall asleep.
This time, it wasn’t because of nightmares. Every time she closed her eyes, the image of Gu Ningyi, who exuded sadness, would uncontrollably flash into her mind. The more she tried to suppress it, the more impossible it was to dismiss.
Feeling irritated, Dong Xin Yan furrowed her brows and eventually sat up, unable to stop herself from silently complaining.
What’s wrong with her?
She had finally gotten away from Gu Ningyi. So why did she keep thinking about him without any reason?
Moreover...this afternoon, after saying those decisive words to him, she watched him leave forlornly, and in her heart...she didn’t feel as complete a relief as she thought she would. Instead, she felt stifled and confused as if something was pressing down on her.
Dong Xin Yan thought over it again and again but couldn’t figure out why. So, she simply grabbed her phone, opened WeChat, found Cheng Ziyang’s contact, hesitated with her finger hovering, and eventually turned off the screen.
Why...let Ziyang worry again?
-
After Cheng Ziyang returned home, he spent several hours talking with Mrs. Cheng. Initially, Mrs. Cheng was against the idea of him taking Dong Xin Yan on a trip because the company’s matters had not been fully resolved. Moreover, Ziyang planned not only to take Dong Xin Yan to the Aegean Sea but also to travel around Europe, which would take several months. She couldn’t possibly be happy with such a long absence.
But just one sentence from Cheng Ziyang changed her mind.
Because he said he planned to propose to Dong Xin Yan again during the trip and if successful, they would hold the wedding abroad and bring her over for the ceremony.
Mrs. Cheng had always been worried about their marriage. Since Ziyang hadn’t mentioned it since returning, she feared the Cheng Family was no longer as prosperous, and Xinxin might hesitate. Now that her son mentioned proposing again, she couldn’t be happier!
She immediately beamed with joy, nodding in agreement, and even told Cheng Ziyang, "Ziyang, Xinxin is a good girl. You must try your best to marry her quickly and give me a chubby grandchild."
Cheng Ziyang agreed with a smile, but once he returned to his room, the smile gradually faded.
He sat by the bed, pulled open the drawer of the bedside table, and took out a jewelry box. Inside was a beautifully elegant diamond ring.
This was supposed to be their wedding ring. If it weren’t for Gu Ningyi, this ring would have already been on Dong Xin Yan’s finger.
His dark eyes fixedly stared, lost in thought.
Xinxin... can I, once again, put this ring on your finger?
-
When Gu Ningyi left Black Pool, the intoxication had mostly faded. The cold wind of deep winter hit him, and a layer of chill wrapped around him.
He stood there for a moment before descending the steps.
Old Chen saw him approaching and quickly opened the rear car door. Gu Ningyi bent down to sit inside as Old Chen closed the door, returned to the driver’s seat, and respectfully asked, "Young master, back to the villa?"
Gu Ningyi lowered his eyes, remained silent for a while, then spoke, "No, to... Central Ring Road."
Central Ring Road?
Isn’t that the address of Miss Dong’s apartment?
