Chapter 410: Chapter 409 Do You Think I’m Indispensable to You? (1)
Gu Ningyi opened his eyes, his head fuzzy and somewhat sluggish. Yuan Shen, here so soon?
He propped a hand on the bed, slowly got up, his head dizzy and throbbing with pain. He sat steadily on the bed for a while, calming down a bit before lifting the blanket and getting out of bed.
The cold kept invading his body. He grabbed a coat to wrap around himself and slowly descended the stairs, walked to the door, and opened it directly.
It wasn’t Yuan Shen standing outside as he expected, but... Dong Xin Yan.
The moment he saw her, he stood there stunned, the whole world spiraling out of control. He almost thought he was having a fever, burning deliriously, hence the hallucination.
After all, if it weren’t a hallucination, how could Dong Xin Yan be here?
He unconsciously lifted a hand slightly, wanting to lightly touch her face.
But before his hand could rise, Dong Xin Yan suddenly raised her eyes, her dark pupils glaring at him fiercely, filled with raging anger and hatred.
Gu Ningyi’s half-raised hand stopped abruptly.
Dong Xin Yan’s eyes were bloodshot, her red lips tightly pressed, her entire being enveloped in a tremendous fury. Her hands clenched tightly and then slowly released. She raised a hand, fiercely grabbed Gu Ningyi’s collar, and spoke harshly, word by word, "Gu Ningyi, what will it take for you to let me go? Do you really want me dead to be satisfied?"
So it wasn’t a hallucination after all...
If it were a hallucination, she wouldn’t have such eyes, nor such words. Besides, even if it were a hallucination, she wouldn’t want to appear before him.
A hint of bitterness involuntarily rose from the depths of his heart. He swallowed, closing his eyes slightly, slowly regaining consciousness. His dark eyes lifted lightly, looking back at her faintly. He didn’t understand, what did her words mean?
"What are you talking about?" Gu Ningyi’s voice was still very hoarse, his dark eyes full of confusion.
Dong Xin Yan hadn’t expected that Gu Ningyi could still pretend as if nothing had happened and ask her what she was talking about. Dong Xin Yan let out a cold laugh, her anger surging straight up, losing all reason, "What am I talking about? Gu Ningyi, do you not know what I’m talking about? Every time you use such despicable and vile means to deal with a woman, do you still call yourself a man?"
Dong Xin Yan’s fair cheeks flushed with anger, her grasp on Gu Ningyi’s lapels becoming more forceful, veins bulging on the back of her hands, her entire body trembling with rage.
That time, humiliated beyond endurance, she resolutely jumped into the sea. When she fell into the vast ocean, her breathing became difficult and she gradually suffocated. At that moment, she really thought she was going to die.
But unexpectedly, Gu Ningyi jumped down to save her.
Then, when she left with Ziyang, passing by Gu Ningyi, she vaguely heard him say, I’ve let you go...
At that time, she really thought he had found his conscience and decided to let her go.
But then? It was all just her wishful thinking, how foolish of her to believe him again and again.
Dong Xin Yan’s furious agitation made Gu Ningyi’s brow furrow deeply. Despicable and vile means? How had he been despicable and vile?
His body was already unbearably uncomfortable as if pierced by needles, and now even more so. Still, he forced himself to hold on, his hand covering Dong Xin Yan’s hand, forcefully pulling it down, his voice growing heavier, "Make it clear."
