Chapter 369: Chapter 368 I Never Liked You (4)
Taking the money, doing her duty, it has nothing to do with affection.
In just a few words, there was boundless power, slamming into the softest part of his body, causing him to shudder in pain.
He stared at her blankly, with deep sorrow in his dark eyes, his mouth moved but he couldn’t produce any sound for quite a while.
After struggling for some time, it seemed he found his voice again, speaking very slowly, very slowly, his voice low and hoarse, "Two months of being together day and night, wasn’t there... even a bit of sincerity? Even if..." just a little bit.
The last few words, perhaps too humble, he was unable to voice them.
Sincerity?
The questions Gu Ningyi asked, each funnier than the last.
He treated her like that before, even during the period she took care of him, he bullied her just the same. She wasn’t someone who enjoyed being mistreated, how could she possibly fall for him?
Honestly, Mr. Gu’s affection was an extremely troubling matter for her.
When she initially guessed that Gu Ningyi might have fallen for her, she was already alarmed, yet she did not expect that they once had an emotional bond.
Moreover, this bond... was deeper than she had imagined.
She didn’t know if he just wanted an answer or had other plans, but she was unwilling to have any more entanglements with him.
If it’s to end, it must end decisively.
Dong Xin Yan swallowed hard, clenched her hands tightly, raised her eyes, and stared intently at Gu Ningyi, her expression serious, speaking earnestly, "Mr. Gu, everything I did during those two months was because I was Miss Zhou. It included my encouragement, support, and companionship with you. Even if there was sincerity, it was Miss Zhou’s sincerity. As for me, Dong Xin Yan, I can firmly tell you, I have never liked you, not before, and... will not in the future."
I have never liked you.
Not before, and I won’t in the future.
Word by word, they resounded powerfully, all ringing in his ears.
At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, casting an orange light through the window, a few strands of light fell on Gu Ningyi’s profile, his thick long eyelashes trembled and suddenly fell, casting an arc-like shadow under his eye sockets, concealing all the pain in his eyes.
Pain, attacked fiercely.
This time, it hurt a hundred times more than the last.
It was as if a large hand was savagely tearing at his heart, piece by piece, until it was bloodied.
He originally thought that her unwillingness to remember him, unwillingness to remember their past, was heartbreakingly painful. But it turned out... she remembers him, remembers their past, but never liked him, never had a bit of sincerity. That was the real pain, so much so that he bent over violently, hands instinctively clutching his heart.
Dong Xin Yan looked at the man in front of her, his handsome face quickly turned pale, half-bending over while sitting there, in the warm light, such a strong man seemed alarmingly thin...
Her heart started to ache uncontrollably again, tightening with every tug.
Why... does she always have this inexplicable feeling? Clearly, she has no affection for him, right? Or... did she overlook something?
With furrowed brows, she carefully began to recall the memories from those two months, trying to find something, thinking and thinking, when suddenly the phone in her bag began to ring.
