My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 520: Gu Ningyi, I Choose You (6)
Why?
His face is now haggard, his whole body in a sorry state, with a wound still on his forehead. The earlier bandaging wasn’t even completed, and the wound must look frightening.
The most important thing is, he is not handsome enough right now!
How could he let her see him in such a disheveled and imperfect state?
"Because... I look a bit ugly now." Those three words, "a bit ugly," Gu Ningyi said with great reluctance. From childhood to adulthood, even during his chubby phase, he never admitted to being ugly.
In every aspect, he has always been incredibly confident in himself, yet in front of Dong Xin Yan, he involuntarily discounted himself.
His score in her heart wasn’t high enough to begin with, and if even his most attractive feature—his looks—were discounted, wouldn’t he have no skills left to gain extra points?
"Ugly?"
Dong Xin Yan never expected Gu Ningyi to give such a response; wasn’t he always known for boasting about his looks and figure? Could he really have an ugly moment?
Could it be... because these past few days, he’s been keeping vigil outside her apartment building every night, losing sleep, and that’s why he’s looking ugly?
Dong Xin Yan’s voice, suddenly hoarser, said, "It’s okay to be ugly."
"But it matters to me."
Gu Ningyi’s arms were still tightly embracing her. His cheek slowly rubbed against the back of her neck, gently, softly, his voice extremely tender, "If you see me like this now and then tell me not to meet again, what then?"
"It’s better, just like this... "
She could stand in front of him, he could hold her, feel her presence, her body warmth, her fragrance, truly, this was already so good, so very good.
The murmured whisper gradually filtered into Dong Xin Yan’s ears, tears like strings of broken pearls dropping down.
Dong Xin Yan bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth. In that instant, she was overwhelmed by a surge of sadness.
"I won’t, I won’t, Gu Ningyi, I won’t... "
Her voice was hoarse to the extreme, yet she still gritted her teeth, striving to make her voice heard, "Gu Ningyi, the question you asked me before, I’m answering it now, listen carefully."
Taking a deep breath, Dong Xin Yan suppressed all the sourness, her red lips slightly parted, and word by word, she spoke clearly, "Gu Ningyi, I choose you!"
...
"Choose me, or choose him?"
"Gu Ningyi, I choose you."
...
It’s just very regrettable, her answer came a little late; it’s just very regrettable, she only just figured out her answer now; it’s just very regrettable, her answer made him wait for so long.
After Dong Xin Yan’s voice fell, she only felt the man behind her suddenly stiffen, like frozen, not moving, suddenly without any sound.
Dong Xin Yan waited a few seconds, behind her was still silent and quiet, she wondered if he hadn’t heard her, so she couldn’t help but speak again, louder each time, "Gu Ningyi, I choose you, I choose you, I choose you! Did you hear?"
This time, before Dong Xin Yan finished speaking, her shoulders abruptly tightened, and in the next second, a force quickly turned her body around.
Gu Ningyi’s figure suddenly burst into her view.
The handsome face, haggard and pale, lips devoid of color, and on his temple, there was still a shocking scarlet, Dong Xin Yan stared in a daze, her black pupils continuously contracting.
