On the way back, the taxi passed through the business district of L City, one high-rise building after another flashed before Dong Xin Yan’s eyes. She stared blankly ahead and suddenly spoke, "Driver, stop the car."
The taxi driver was puzzled, "Miss, we’re not there yet."
"It’s okay, just stop here." "Alright then."
The driver turned the steering wheel, pulled over to the side of the road, and then announced the fare.
Dong Xin Yan paid the fare, picked up her bag, pushed the door open, got out of the car, stood still, and looked up. Across the street stood the luxurious skyscraper of the Gu Group.
She stared intently at the few majestic golden words, and scenes from her past here slowly drifted through her mind. The monts when she rushed into this building, when she confessed emotionally to Gu Ningyi here, when she embraced Gu Ningyi tightly and kissed passionately in front of everyone.
Everything seed as if it just happened yesterday.
She once said that she wouldn’t dare approach within a few hundred ters of this place again because she was too embarrassed to be seen.
The mories were so sweet, so beautiful, a gentle arch ford on her lips, and a hint of a smile appeared in her eyes. But as she smiled, her eyes started to moisten again.
She really thought she had found her past, reclaid her first love, and rediscovered her fluttering heart. She and Gu Ningyi had been in a misplaced love for so many years and finally reunited.
She really thought that even if ti wasn’t kind to them, they still found each other, so they could conquer ti.
She really thought that holding hands and promising the heart would an forever.
Turns out... it wasn’t like that.
The right person at the right ti is indispensable, yet she and Gu Ningyi found the right person but had missed the right ti.
Two lives!
She owes Ziyang two lives!
In the tis when he couldn’t be there, she owed Ziyang so much, how could she just abandon him?
Furthermore, even if she could repay Ziyang with her life, what about her father?
It’s true she hadn’t been on good terms with her father for years, but it didn’t an she didn’t love him. From a young age, they’d depended on each other, and he had doted on her so much. She couldn’t disregard his life and death.
Her father was very stubborn. Whatever he said, he was sure to follow through.
He said a life for a life, and he ant it.
She didn’t want to resign to fate like this; she wanted to fight for her love, to fight for him, but reality forced her to bow her head.
She had no choice but to consider more than her own happiness, nor did she want Gu Ningyi to bear such burden and darkness with her.
He deserved a better girl, better love.
Tears unknowingly welled up, cascading down her cheeks.
Dong Xin Yan took a deep breath, wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand, swallowed heavily, then fished out her mobile phone from her bag, dialing a number one digit at a ti, and pressed the call button.
The phone rang for a while before it was answered, a man’s voice carried a hint of fatigue mixed with urgency, "Xinyan, are you alright?"
Even over the phone, Dong Xin Yan tried her best to curve her lips, restraining the sob in her voice, "Why do you ask? Of course, I’m fine."
After speaking, she suddenly thought of sothing and added, "Oh, did Secretary Lin see my dad? Don’t worry, my dad didn’t do anything to , I’m safe and sound."
Even though Dong Xin Yan’s voice feigned lightness, Gu Ningyi still detected her suppression. He paused before speaking, "Where are you now?"
