My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 544 He’s in Trouble (2)
Dong Xin Yan was stunned for a second, then reflexively looked at Gu Ningyi. Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes seemed momentarily still, but it was fleeting. He then looked away expressionlessly and continued eating his breakfast as if nothing had happened.
If he had shown any reaction, Dong Xin Yan wouldn’t have felt guilty, but precisely because he acted this way, Dong Xin Yan inexplicably felt guilty, unsure and unsettled.
Especially... the ringtone she had set especially for Ziyang before, "Will You Marry Me Today," which she had forgotten to change, was now cheerfully singing: "Will you marry me today..."
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Dong Xin Yan glanced at Gu Ningyi’s face, which still bore its usual indifferent look, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that his expression carried a touch of mockery, a faint displeasure.
Dong Xin Yan’s hand unconsciously clenched slightly, her heartbeat quickening slightly. She clearly hadn’t done anything wrong, so why at this moment did she feel like a bad woman with a foot in two boats?
The more she thought about it, the guiltier she felt. Dong Xin Yan managed a light cough, reaching out to end Ziyang’s call. But just as she was about to press the reject button, the man beside her suddenly spoke.
His dark eyes glanced at her lazily, the voice extraordinarily indifferent, "Answer it, it’s your fiancé’s call; you can’t just not pick it up, right?"
Dong Xin Yan still had a mouthful of soy milk and was about to swallow it when Gu Ningyi’s words choked her up immediately.
"Cough cough cough..." Dong Xin Yan coughed heavily, her cheeks flushing uncontrollably.
Gu Ningyi’s brows knitted tightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, his voice still indifferent, "Is there a need to be so excited?"
Though the words carried a hint of disdain, he still pulled her into his arms, one hand taking a tissue to wipe her lips, the other gently patting her back to help her catch her breath.
"Are you okay?"
Dong Xin Yan was coughing so hard she couldn’t catch her breath, unable to answer Gu Ningyi, she could only weakly shake her head in his arms.
Watching her little face flush completely red, unable to stop coughing, the anger in Gu Ningyi’s heart dissipated like smoke.
A moment later, Dong Xin Yan finally stopped coughing, and the call was automatically disconnected because no one answered for a long time. Dong Xin Yan inconspicuously breathed a sigh of relief.
Little did she know, all her expressions were seen clearly by Gu Ningyi, his eyes darkened, momentarily unsure whether to be angry or amused.
He had always been a commanding and domineering person with a strong possessiveness. Regarding Dong Xin Yan, he was unwilling to give an inch. He wanted everything about her to belong completely to him, and he wanted her to utterly sever ties with Cheng Ziyang, never to intersect again in this lifetime.
In her world, only one man was needed, and that was him.
But as things stood, even though he was unwilling to admit it, he knew the emotional foundation between him and Dong Xin Yan was frighteningly fragile, supported only by past memories and emotions. Therefore, he couldn’t be hasty or show dominance and possessiveness at this moment; he’d already suffered once before, hadn’t he?
So, to firmly grasp Dong Xin Yan’s heart, at this time, the only thing he could do was to show weakness.
His mind churned with thoughts, Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes grew even deeper, his thin lips lightly pursed. He spoke faintly, "Xinyan, if you want to continue contacting Cheng Ziyang, then do so. Don’t worry about me, although I... am not happy, I will try to respect you." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
