The fact was already right in front of him, yet Gu Ningyi still heard his own voice, slowly erging, as if unwilling to face this cruel truth, desperately trying to find a flicker of hope for himself.
If Lady Wei hadn’t co tonight... a few days ago, her answer would undoubtedly have been no.
But these past few days, even though she has always disliked Gu Ningyi, she couldn’t deny that he has been very gentle with her, very kind. Moreover, his deep affection for Zhou Yalin also deeply touched her heart.
So her coming here today was selfish, but she also sincerely wanted to help him.
"No, it’s not."
Dong Xin Yan shook her head, looking at Gu Ningyi, and said very earnestly, "I’m not just doing this because of Lady Wei."
Gu Ningyi’s gaze suddenly paused; if she wasn’t just doing it because of Lady Wei, then... was there still a part of her that was doing it because of him?
"Even without Lady Wei, I would agree to help you."
Without Lady Wei, she would still agree to help him...
A small fla suddenly flickered in Gu Ningyi’s eyes. He stared blankly at Dong Xin Yan, his thin lips trembling slightly.
The corners of Dong Xin Yan’s lips curved up slightly into a smile, and she continued, "I am touched by your deep affection for Miss Zhou, so I will do my best to help you put on a good show tonight, so you and Miss Zhou can quickly reconcile and be loving once again."
Your deep affection for Miss Zhou...
I will do my best to help you put on a good show tonight...
So you and Miss Zhou can quickly reconcile and be loving once again...
Gu Ningyi murmured, repeating every word she said, seemingly completely unable to understand what she was talking about.
What does she an by his deep affection for Zhou Yalin, what does she an by acting? What does she an by reconciling?
What on earth is Dong Xin Yan talking about?
Listening to Gu Ningyi’s murmurings, Dong Xin Yan nodded heavily and said, "So, Mr. Gu, rest assured, I will not be... affected by Lady Wei’s issue, I will definitely... ah..."
Before she finished her words, Gu Ningyi suddenly reached out, grabbed her shoulders, and slamd her forcefully against the wall.
Dong Xin Yan’s back hit the wall hard, and she cried out in pain, her brows furrowing tightly.
She looked up in astonishnt, her eyes filled with confusion, but her gaze t Gu Ningyi’s sinister and icy eyes, which seed to be roiling with a storm, extrely terrifying.
His handso and delicate face showed not a trace of emotion, and his voice, when he spoke, was utterly devoid of warmth, as if coated in ice, harshly crashing down on her.
"Dong Xin Yan, say it again. You agreed to accompany to the banquet because you wanted to help act? Help reconcile with Zhou Yalin?"
Dong Xin Yan never imagined that Gu Ningyi would suddenly beco furious. His gaze was fraught with a nearly suffocating danger, and his grip on her shoulders seed as if it would crush her shoulder blades.
Dong Xin Yan’s back was sweating from the pain, her delicate face wrinkled, yet more prominently, she felt fear and helplessness.
She didn’t know what she said wrong.
Her dark eyes darted around anxiously, biting her lips, utterly afraid to speak.
But Gu Ningyi didn’t let her go at all, his hand suddenly gripped her chin, forcing her to raise her head, his voice deep and nacing, "Speak!"
Dong Xin Yan’s body trembled violently, her complexion quickly paling.
