My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 550 He’s in Trouble (8)

Dong Xin Yan called Cheng Ziyang the next day and asked to meet him.

Cheng Ziyang’s tone was obviously hesitant, making excuses, and Dong Xin Yan felt a pang in her heart, knowing that it wasn’t because he was busy, but simply delaying the meeting.

He probably already knew in his heart that she wanted to talk when she asked him to meet, so he wanted to avoid her.

Dong Xin Yan unconsciously tightened her grip on the phone, took a deep breath, and steeled herself to say, "Ziyang, don’t be like this. There are things we need to clarify eventually. Avoidance... cannot solve problems."

Yes, avoidance cannot solve problems, yet he still didn’t want to face it.

Even if postponing it by one more day wouldn’t help, it seemed that... he could have her for one more day. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Cheng Ziyang’s silence made Dong Xin Yan feel even more uncomfortable. She closed her eyes, bit her lower lip hard, and then continued, "If today isn’t good, then tomorrow. Tomorrow, let’s meet at the Old Time Cafe, and don’t stand me up."

After speaking, Dong Xin Yan hung up the phone without waiting for Cheng Ziyang’s response.

With a click, the only sound in his ear was the cold beeping of the call ending. Cheng Ziyang remained standing dazedly in the same position as when he was on the call, and after a long long time, his hand dropped weakly, a deep despair in his eyes.

Clearly, he and she were meant to be together forever, holding hands till old age, yet the time he had with her... was only down to such a short day.

Gu Ningyi had been busy all day today, only managing to squeeze in a call with her at noon. After chatting briefly, she told him to hang up and focus on his work.

Gu Ningyi wasn’t happy about it. He hadn’t seen her, and now he couldn’t even listen to her voice. So, dominatingly, he insisted she stay on the line, saying anything at all, so he could truly concentrate on work.

Dong Xin Yan playfully scolded him a few times and said, "You focus on your work today. Once you’re done tomorrow, I’ll give you a surprise."

"A big surprise? What kind of big surprise?"

Gu Ningyi’s voice was lazy, and there were occasional sounds of flipping through documents on his end.

"Since it’s a surprise, how can I tell? You’ll find out tomorrow." Dong Xin Yan pretended to be mysterious, "If you know in advance, it won’t work, you know~"

"Heh."

Gu Ningyi’s lips curled slightly, a light chuckle escaping his throat. Just then, he reached the last page of his documents, took a pen and scribbled his signature at the bottom, then spoke, "Alright, tomorrow I have a surprise for you too."

"Really?"

"Yes."

Dong Xin Yan’s dark eyes couldn’t help rolling around, thinking hard but still couldn’t figure out what surprise Gu Ningyi had for her. She was curious, her heart itching like it was being scratched by a cat’s paw. She furrowed her brows and whispered softly, "Could you give me a little hint?"

Gu Ningyi unceremoniously used her own words to answer her, "If you know in advance, it won’t work."

Dong Xin Yan was momentarily stunned, her eyes widening slightly, her cheeks puffed up in frustration. With no other choice, she compromised, "Fine, then tomorrow we’ll reveal our surprises to each other again."

"Yes, let’s have lunch together tomorrow."

Dong Xin Yan arranged to meet Cheng Ziyang at ten in the morning. She arrived fifteen minutes early, but when she walked into the cafe, Cheng Ziyang was already sitting in their usual spot, waiting for her.
