The dark eyes gently lifted, and sohow, he imdiately saw that familiar figure sitting in the café.
Across such a distance, amidst the throngs of people, only she caught his eye instantly, as if it were destined by fate.
His heart involuntarily shuddered violently.
He looked over; Dong Xin Yan was sitting face to face with a woman who looked like an aristocrat, talking about sothing. That woman, if he was not mistaken, should be Cheng Ziyang’s mother.
These days, he had almost made himself automatically block out Dong Xin Yan, suppressing and burying everything about her, forbidding himself from thinking about her anymore.
Even if he was unwilling to admit it, what Yuan Shen said was very true.
No matter how things were between Dong Xin Yan and Cheng Ziyang, it wouldn’t be his chance.
What chance is there with soone who doesn’t love you?
Don’t foolishly get involved and end up hurting yourself.
Gu Ningyi’s gaze gradually dimd. He curled his lips, reached out his hand, and was about to close the car window when he saw Mrs. Cheng hand sothing that looked like a check to Dong Xin Yan. Then she stood up and turned to leave, leaving Dong Xin Yan sitting there, staring blankly at the check.
Gu Ningyi’s hand suddenly froze.
-
Mrs. Cheng had been gone for a while, yet Dong Xin Yan still sat there, like she had been immobilized, staring with wide eyes at the glaring white check before her, her eyes slowly moistening.
She had never thought that between her and Ziyang... it would end with a check.
A million.
Such an extravagant and ironic end.
But just now, listening to Mrs. Cheng’s words, she couldn’t find a single word to refute her, not a single word.
She wasn’t afraid of Mrs. Cheng opposing her and Ziyang with any argunt, but Mrs. Cheng used Ziyang against her, and she was... completely defenseless.
Yes, she and Ziyang could insist on being together, insist on getting married, but what then after marriage? All the malign words would be transferred to Ziyang. Because of her, he would constantly face public scrutiny, ridicule, and finger-pointing.
No one would care about the real truth; all they cared about was scandal.
Moreover, it wasn’t just a temporary issue but a lifeti one.
Rumors were lethal enough.
She truly, truly loved Ziyang, truly didn’t want to be apart from him, but how could she bear letting him live a lifeti being mocked and ridiculed?
But just thinking of parting with Ziyang like this, her entire heart felt like it was being brutally torn apart, beyond words.
What should she do? What on earth should she do?
Tears burst forth uncontrollably as Dong Xin Yan covered her face with her hands, sobbing silently.
-
The green light turned on.
Old Chen looked through the rearview mirror at his young master’s expression, sighed softly, saying to put it down, but had he truly ever let it go in his heart?
He thought for a mont, then asked quietly, "Young Master, shall we go?"
Gu Ningyi looked at Dong Xin Yan, her slender body trembling. She sat there, crying silently, and even though he couldn’t hear anything, it was as if he could feel the sadness in her heart.
How deeply she loved Cheng Ziyang was sothing he knew only too well, so how much she was hurting now, he also... knew only too well.
But the most tragic thing was... how much pain he was in his heart, he himself... knew it only too well.
