Chapter 388: Chapter 387 Renewal (17)
Cheng Ziyang made several phone calls in a row, all going unanswered to the point of automatically hanging up. His brow gradually furrowed, and a sense of unease began to spread in his heart.
Could it be that something happened to Xinxin? Otherwise, she would not be ignoring the calls.
With this possibility in mind, Cheng Ziyang’s eyes sharpened, his heart sank heavily, and he immediately stepped out, rushing out of the airport.
His first thought was whether something might have happened to Xinxin on the way.
After all, because of last night’s snow, traffic was quite bad today. Several traffic accidents were seen when he took a car to the airport this morning.
He hailed a taxi and directly instructed the driver to drive back along the road. He sat in the car, carefully watching the roadsides to see if there were any car accidents.
Yet, all along the way, until they reached the traffic light location Dong Xin Yan mentioned on the phone, there were no car accidents.
Cheng Ziyang breathed a sigh of relief but couldn’t help feeling deeply puzzled.
If Xinxin wasn’t unable to come to the airport due to an accident, then why hasn’t she arrived?
Cheng Ziyang had the driver turn back to the airport while continuing to call Dong Xin Yan on his phone.
-
Perhaps because she had been frightened many times today by Gu Ningyi, Dong Xin Yan was unexpectedly calm when she heard his words.
She took a light breath and slowly spoke, "Mr. Gu, please stop joking. I really don’t have time; I still need to catch a flight. If there’s nothing else, I have to leave."
After saying this, Dong Xin Yan ignored Gu Ningyi, turned to her luggage, picked up her bag, and headed towards the stairs with her suitcase.
Gu Ningyi watched her departing figure, not stopping her, just smirked slightly, returned to the deck chair, and leisurely took a sip of red wine.
Dong Xin Yan walked to the stairwell, just about to go down, when suddenly, the ship moved.
She didn’t feel anything at first, continuing to carry her luggage down, but then the ship shook more violently. She lost her balance, swayed a few times, and quickly grabbed the railing to barely steady herself.
But just as she stabilized, she saw the ship start to separate from the shore, inch by inch widening the gap.
Dong Xin Yan stared blankly, her mind blank.
What is happening?
Why is the ship moving?
A chill surged up her spine, and an ominous premonition rapidly spread throughout her body.
Dong Xin Yan was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly regained her senses. She wanted to jump across while it wasn’t too far, but just as the thought emerged, the ship suddenly accelerated, the roar of the engine echoing in her ears. She could only watch helplessly as the dock became farther and farther away.
Her eyes wide in shock, Dong Xin Yan was at a loss for how to react.
Five minutes later, Dong Xin Yan, with her luggage in tow, returned to the deck.
She threw her luggage heavily onto the ground, glaring fiercely at the man lounging leisurely in the sun on the deck chair, gritting her teeth, "Gu Ningyi, what more do you want!"
Wasn’t humiliating and toying with her by calling her here deliberately enough?
Gu Ningyi placed his hands behind his head, not looking at her, only lazily speaking, "I think I’ve made myself very clear."
Made it clear?
What has he made clear?
Could it be, he really wants her to stay by his side?
