That day, Dong Xin Yan left the hospital, and Gu Ningyi followed her out. Gu Ningyi walked behind Dong Xin Yan, while she... followed behind Gu Ningyi.
She watched Gu Ningyi get out of the car to send Dong Xin Yan ho, standing alone in the biting wind. In such cold weather, he worried she might be cold, forgetting that he, too, would feel the chill.
She sat in the car, calling him a fool, but her eyes gradually reddened.
He was foolish, and how was she any less so?
For as long as he stood there, she lingered there, until... she heard him make a phone call.
At that mont, she thought, could there ever be a greater fool than Gu Ningyi? Not only giving away the woman he loved, but also paving the way for her, preparing her dowry.
And Dong Xin Yan knew nothing, nothing at all...
She sat there, tears dropping one after another, her heart wracked with pain, yet it wasn’t for herself, it was for him.
She had thought she would keep this matter to herself, never saying a word for the rest of her life, but now she could no longer hold it in.
The man she deeply loved should not suffer such grievances, should not swallow all the bitterness and pain alone in his heart—Dong Xin Yan should at least know, should at least be grateful!
Her happiness was not a given. It was Gu Ningyi, biting through grit and blood, who fought for it bit by bit, for her!
...
He proposed to just to help you clear up the rumors.
He even approached your future mother-in-law, personally explaining that there is nothing between the two of you!
...
With just these two sentences, Dong Xin Yan seed to be immobilized, as if soone had struck her acupoint. Her dark eyes widened in shock, filled with sheer disbelief and profound astonishnt.
Her mind went blank with a buzzing in her ears, unable to believe what she had heard.
What does it an, that Gu Ningyi proposed to Yuan Shi just to clear up her rumors? And what does it an that Gu Ningyi went to Aunt Cheng to personally explain?
Does this an Gu Ningyi really announced the engagent news for her... and Aunt Cheng’s sudden change in attitude was also due to Gu Ningyi helping her...
Her previous suspicions were not wrong, and that kind person that day truly was Gu Ningyi. What he whispered in her ear: "I’m giving Cheng Ziyang back to you," was true too...
Everything was true, it was just that she didn’t dare to believe, couldn’t bring herself to believe, hence she kept denying, denying, denying.
But why?
He disliked her so much, even hated her, so why help her? Why sacrifice his own marriage?
In her daze, she actually asked, "Why?"
"Why? Dong Xin Yan, can you really ask why at a ti like this?"
Yuan Shi laughed angrily but couldn’t make any sound, even her eyes misted over. "For a man to go this far for you, why do you think that is?"
Only with deep, extre love could one do such a thing, no?
Dong Xin Yan understood, but she was afraid to understand. She unconsciously shook her head, muttering to herself, "Impossible, it’s impossible, how could Gu Ningyi...?"
As she kept thinking, the mory of that day on the boat suddenly broke into her mind, of Gu Ningyi kneeling on one knee before her, holding her hand with deep affection, word by word, "Dong Xin Yan, I like you, I really like you, I like you so very much..."
