Chapter 285: Chapter 284: Can’t Find Him (4)
Gu Ningyi didn’t speak, his black eyes looked over at him with a calm gaze, still intimidating even when blurred. Yuan Shen furrowed his brows tightly, his thin lips moved slightly, and eventually, he could only say somewhat grudgingly, "Go ahead and protect her, but her heart isn’t with you at all!"
Gu Ningyi lowered his eyes and curled his lips in self-mockery.
This fact, he had already seen clearly enough tonight.
It’s just... even so, even if he understands, he still doesn’t want... anyone to hurt her.
Because he doesn’t want to lose news of her, once again.
Yuan Shen lingered for a while, his phone kept ringing, it was all calls from the deputy general manager. At such an important occasion as the year-end party, relying solely on the deputy general manager was really inappropriate, so Yuan Shen had no choice but to say, "Yi, take a good rest. I am going back to Black Pool."
"Okay."
Yuan Shen turned to leave, suddenly glimpsing Gu Ningyi’s phone on the bedside table, his steps paused for a moment, then he walked over with large strides and picked up the phone.
"Yi, I’m taking your phone. Before your eyes have recovered, rest quietly. I will handle everything else."
Gu Ningyi’s eyes flickered, he opened his mouth wanting to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.
Whether Yuan Shen took the phone or not, it didn’t matter, Dong Xin Yan... unless necessary, she would never take the initiative to contact him.
Why expect her call?

After Dong Xin Yan woke up with a start at four in the middle of the night, she tossed and turned, unable to fall back asleep. And the dream she couldn’t get out of her mind last night seemed like a spring dream leaving no trace upon waking up, she couldn’t remember any of it.
Dong Xin Yan tried to recall, but in her mind, there were only very vague, fragmented pieces, which she couldn’t piece together no matter how hard she tried. And whenever she tried to think deeply, her head would immediately start to throb, and this time the throbbing was more intense than any previous time, so much so that her back was sweating lightly.
Dong Xin Yan shook her head, not daring to think anymore. But thanks to this strange dream, the heart-wrenching sadness from yesterday seemed to have dissipated quite a bit.
Although... she couldn’t remember the dream, when she was having it, it felt so real, as if... it was something that happened to her.
But she was also very aware that this event wasn’t in her memory.
Gu Ningyi hadn’t returned to the villa for several days again, Dong Xin Yan had long been accustomed to his ways and didn’t find it strange. Previously, when he didn’t come home, she enjoyed her freedom, but now, as three months gradually approached, and he still hadn’t returned, she couldn’t help but start to worry.
Could it be that Gu Ningyi... wants to back out again?
No, this time no matter what, she can’t let Gu Ningyi back out. She must let Ziyang come out safely.
When there were only three days left until three months, Dong Xin Yan could no longer suppress her inner anxiety. After much thought, she took out her phone, took a deep breath, and then, with practiced fingers, pressed Gu Ningyi’s phone number.
With the phone pressed to her ear, Dong Xin Yan listened to the ringing sound, her heart couldn’t stop pounding.
On Christmas Eve, when Gu Ningyi left so angry, even after so many days, she still shivered at the thought of his eyes and the way he smiled coldly back then.
If she could, she really would never want to contact him again. But it doesn’t matter, once she gets through this, she’ll finally be free.
She just never expected...
