Chapter 387: Chapter 386 Renewal (16)
The deep affection and sorrow in Gu Ningyi’s eyes had long disappeared, replaced by his usual arrogance and mockery.
The corners of his lips slanted upwards, a devil-may-care attitude on his handsome face, his thin lips parted slightly, full of ridicule, "Dong Xin Yan, I thought you’d gotten smarter, how come... you’re still so easy to deceive, it’s really just as dull as ever."
"...."
All of Dong Xin Yan’s anxiety, all of her inner turmoil, at this moment, froze instantly, her dark eyes widening in shock.
What did he mean by those words?
Could it be that everything he just said was all a lie? That his confession was nothing but deceit?
Too shocked, she didn’t even know what she was feeling in her heart, she stared at him for a long time, as if only then could she find her voice again, her voice unsteady when she spoke, her tone shaking violently, "You, you were... deceiving me?"
"You, you actually don’t like me, do you?"
"The confession just now was all fake, right?"
Sentence after sentence, though her voice trembled, it was not hard to hear the expectation and relief in her tone.
The softest part of her being was being torn apart piece by piece, painfully so, gradually turning numb, he watched her, watched her expression change from shock to joy so quickly, he somehow didn’t feel hurt by it.
He curled his lips, the curve of his cold smile so powerless, but she saw nothing, she was only immersed in her relief.
He didn’t want to hear her answer, nor did he want... to be despised by her, so he took a step ahead, withdrawing all his deep affection, hiding it back within himself.
But did she have to be so happy, so relieved?
Was his affection really so disregarded, such a burden?
In what way was he inferior to Cheng Ziyang?
He was truly unwilling, unable to reconcile with it in any way.
Jealousy and anger slowly sprouted, growing uncontrollably, flooding his mind, starting to dictate his reason, his dark eyes suddenly hardened, a vague bewitching glow floating in their depths, exuding a dangerous aura all over, he arched his brows lightly, his voice lazy, and instead of answering her barrage of questions, he replied with a question, "What do you think?"
Dong Xin Yan’s heart had been dangling in mid-air, but hearing Gu Ningyi’s tone, her heart returned completely to its place.
It seemed that Gu Ningyi was indeed just teasing her on purpose.
Of course, so much time had passed since then, how could Gu Ningyi suddenly have such strong feelings for her, he had never thought much of her.
It’s good that he doesn’t, it’s good that he doesn’t.
Dong Xin Yan couldn’t help but let out a big sigh of relief.
Her actions fiercely stabbed at Gu Ningyi’s eyes, his thin lips pressed tightly together, extremely cold and hard, then he let out a laugh and said, "But just now, not everything was a lie. There was one truth."
Dong Xin Yan’s heart trembled again, "What truth?"
"I want you to stay by my side."
Gu Ningyi looked at her steadily, his thin lips moving slightly, enunciating each word, his voice low but firm.
-
Dong Xin Yan said she would arrive at the airport in ten minutes, but now, countless such ten minutes had passed, Cheng Ziyang couldn’t contain himself and dialed Dong Xin Yan’s phone again.
The previous two calls he made, Dong Xin Yan had answered after a few rings, but now, the beeping sound kept echoing in his ears, yet no one was answering.
