My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 597: Goodbye, Forever (1)

"What does ’not coming back’ mean?"

Her voice became very light, so light it felt somewhat unreal. She lifted her face, her dark eyes constantly contracting, almost unable to believe what she had heard.

Gu Ningyi curled his lips, let out a light laugh, "Is it that surprising? Isn’t it better if I’m not here? Otherwise... I can’t guarantee I won’t crash the wedding, you know, I’ve never failed to get what I want."

"But..." Dong Xin Yan furrowed her eyebrows tightly, tears gleaming in her eyes as she tried hard to restrain herself, "What about your family... what will happen to them?"

"That’s not something you should worry about."

Gu Ningyi replied lightly, the smile still lingering on his lips. He held her gaze for a few more seconds, then lowered his voice, "When I asked Secretary Lin to book my flight, I initially intended to book just one ticket, but in the end, I had her book two because I remembered I hadn’t said goodbye to you."

He paused, reached into his bag, pulled out the plane ticket, raised his hand, and slowly offered it to her.

"So Dong Xin Yan, will you go with me? Or shall we say goodbye?"

Will you go with me? 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Or say goodbye?

Dong Xin Yan gazed blankly at the man in front of her, her large eyes shimmering with tears, droplets falling one by one.

Could she go with him?

If she could, who would choose to say goodbye?

"Really, this is the last time, Dong Xin Yan. If you don’t go with me, we are truly over."

Gu Ningyi was still smiling, but tears flickered in his dark eyes, "After going to the United States, maybe I can’t forget you quickly, but I’ll try to forget a little every day until I finally do. Then, I’ll find a nice girl, better than you, and I’ll love her well, treat her well, and we’ll be very happy."

"Without you, I’ll be happy too. But Dong Xin Yan, are you confident that you can be happy without me?"

"So Dong Xin Yan, are you sure you don’t really want me?"

Gu Ningyi blinked his dark eyes; mist formed, blurring his vision, his voice hoarse, "Back then, you gave me sixty seconds. Now, I’ll wait sixty seconds for you too. It starts now."

Gu Ningyi lifted his wrist, watching the watch, as the second hand ticked away, second by second.

"Ten."

"Nine."

"Eight."

...

"Three."

"Two."

"One."

The girl in front of him, tears like broken pearls, each drop falling, weeping in heartbreak; he could see her pain and longing in her eyes, but she could never muster the strength to step toward him.

He once thought that even if she didn’t walk toward him, if she could just stand there waiting, he would walk over to her.

But... this is a love between two people, how can only one person be moving?

He looked at the watch, muttered the last word "one," and a tear silently slipped from the corner of his eye. He closed his eyes.

After a long while, he opened his eyes again, his dark eyes deep, concealing all pain. Suddenly, he stepped forward, holding Dong Xin Yan’s face with both hands and leaned down, kissing her lips.

He kissed suddenly but deeply. This kiss carried not a trace of lust, only rich, deep, all-consuming emotion.

Then, he pulled away abruptly, his thin lips moving to her ear, his breath slightly warm, saying each word distinctly, "Dong Xin Yan, goodbye."
