Chapter 401: Chapter 400 Let’s Get Married (6)
Gu Ningyi’s voice was calm, even quite pleasant to the ear, but Zhou Yalin never expected that he would say those few words. For a moment, she thought she had heard wrong.
"Ning Yi, what, what are you saying?"
"Didn’t you hear it clearly?"
Gu Ningyi looked at her coldly, his dark eyes deep and unfathomable, hiding a tremendous undercurrent, filled with extreme danger.
His gaze on her was icy, terrifying, utterly devoid of warmth.
Zhou Yalin, stunned by his gaze, widened her eyes in disbelief, her voice trembling, "Yi, what’s wrong with you?"
All these years, although things were always lukewarm between her and Gu Ningyi, he almost never got angry with her, let alone looked at her with such cold eyes.
"What’s wrong with me?" Gu Ningyi smiled, his voice cold and heartless, "That’s a question you should ask yourself."
Ask herself?
What’s wrong with her?
Did she do something wrong? So much so that he got angry?
But she hadn’t done anything... Zhou Yalin frowned and pondered, suddenly thinking of something, and spoke eagerly, "Ning Yi, are you still mad about me going to the United States? I’m sorry, I know I was wrong, I was too willful..."
Zhou Yalin said pitifully, but Gu Ningyi remained unmoved, his gaze growing more mocking and disgusted, causing her to stop unconsciously.
Clearly, he wasn’t angry about that, so what was it?
Could it be... he was angry because she mentioned marriage just now? Yes, it must be that, he always hated it when she talked about marriage.
Although she was eager about the marriage, she feared provoking his anger even more.
She looked at him and continued speaking urgently, "Ning Yi, you’re mad because I mentioned marriage, aren’t you? I know I shouldn’t always press you about marriage, I was too hasty, I’m sorry Yi, don’t be angry."
"If you don’t want to get married now, it’s okay, I can wait, wait until you’re ready to get married, alright?"
"Zhou Yalin, are you deaf? Or is there something wrong with your head? Didn’t you hear me say you’re not fit to marry me?"
Zhou Yalin never expected that her endless patience would be exchanged for such a cold disdain from Gu Ningyi, completely stunning her.
She looked at Gu Ningyi, looked at his handsome face, at the face so familiar to her that it was etched into her bones, yet she felt as if she didn’t know him.
The Gu Ningyi who had always loved her deeply, how could he... say something like that to her?
She couldn’t believe it, nor could she accept it, "Yi, what’s really wrong with you? Why... say such things? Why am I not fit to marry you?"
The painful bitterness surged swiftly, moistening Zhou Yalin’s eyes, tears falling uncontrollably, drop by drop.
Gu Ningyi looked at her tearful appearance without a trace of pity, but rather... endless hatred and disgust. All the mistakes stemmed from her.
If it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have mistakenly loved, wouldn’t have missed Dong Xin Yan all these years, so that now, wanting to win her back, everything has changed beyond recognition.
And she, occupying someone else’s identity, someone else’s place, enjoying someone else’s love and life, and still had the face to ask, why not fit?
"An imposter, how could you be fit, hmm?"
Such a light sentence, yet filled with intense anger and hatred, weighed heavily in Zhou Yalin’s ears.
