Chapter 402: Chapter 401 Whispers Arising (1)
Zhou Yalin’s face turned deathly pale in an instant. She widened her eyes abruptly as if she had heard something terrifying, her legs grew weak, and she almost couldn’t stand.
Imposter...
Gu Ningyi... does he know something?
How could it be possible?
Zhou Yalin unconsciously shook her head and forced a fragile smile, her voice trembling violently, "Ning, Ning Yi, what are you talking about?"
At this moment, still pretending to be clueless to him.
Gu Ningyi curled his lips slightly, his voice neither cold nor warm, "Don’t know what I’m talking about? Fine, let me ask you. The year I was blind, who was the person who stayed by my side and took care of me?"
The person who took care of him back then... who was it.
Even though when he mentioned the word ’imposter’, she already had a bad premonition, when Gu Ningyi truly asked this question, Zhou Yalin still felt a coldness envelop her entire body, as if she was in extreme ice and cold.
Why would Gu Ningyi know about this? Did he find out something? Or did Dong Xin Yan remember something?
But back then, his aunt had covered it up, he couldn’t possibly find out anything, and Dong Xin Yan... her memory had been altered; there was no way she could remember anything.
Even if... even if he really found out something, he certainly wouldn’t have any evidence.
So she couldn’t be afraid, couldn’t be timid, much less get disorganized. No matter what, she couldn’t confess herself. As long as she denied it to death, he couldn’t do anything to her.
Zhou Yalin’s hands clutched tightly, her lips trembling, but she controlled her voice as much as possible, answering calmly, "Ning Yi, why are you asking this strange question? The one who took care of you, of course, was me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Ningyi curled his lips slightly, and suddenly he stretched out his hand, five fingers clutching Zhou Yalin’s neck.
His action was swift and ruthless, Zhou Yalin couldn’t dodge, and her slender neck fell into Gu Ningyi’s grasp. If he exerted force, her neck would be snapped.
Zhou Yalin shivered all over, holding her breath; cold sweat broke out on her back, "Ning Yi...."
Gu Ningyi seemed oblivious to her fear, his dark eyes stared at her fixedly, his thin lips parted slightly as he spoke calmly, repeating, "The year I was blind, who was it that stayed by my side and took care of me?"
His voice grew lighter, more casual, and indifferent, yet in his calm gaze lay a deep, murderous intent, and his hand around her neck tightened, little by little.
Zhou Yalin’s cheeks flushed, gradually feeling difficult to breathe. She raised her hands in an attempt to pry Gu Ningyi’s hand open, but no matter how little strength he seemed to use, she couldn’t pry them apart.
Such a cold and aloof man, even at this moment, his handsome face bore a casual, unruly charm, while she was already on the edge of Hell.
It was the first time she realized how terrifying a man Gu Ningyi was.
She even dared to try lying in front of him.
Fear, dread, overwhelmed her like a tide, and all her psychological defenses collapsed in an instant, tears flowed like broken strings of pearls, cascading down.
"It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me, it was Dong Xin Yan, it was her...."
So finally... she admitted?
Gu Ningyi’s eyes became dark and somber, waves of fury roiled and churned within them, something in his chest seemed ready to explode.
He glared at her, his eyes red, his grip not relaxing, but growing stronger instead.
