My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 616: The Unyielding Search (6)
This voice, it appears in her dreams every night, constantly lingering around her ears, deeply etched into her bones and blood, a voice she almost thought she would never hear again.
Her body suddenly stiffened, and she was momentarily dazed. Then, she quickly turned around and looked toward the direction the voice came from.
Through the shelves, she could only see through the gaps, that silhouette from her dreams suddenly imprinted in her gaze. She blinked, her entire body seemed to be fixed in place, staring wide-eyed in a daze. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
The man was facing away from her, his posture as always elegant and composed. He was holding a phone to his ear with one hand, speaking lazily while casually picking things with the other, his voice languid, yet his words still as crisp and concise, "Mm... Alright, I’m heading over now."
Is... is it him? Is it Gu Ningyi?
These days, too many times of mistaken identity, too many times of disappointment, had already made her heart grow timid and fearful. She feared that no matter how similar the voice and silhouette were, when she rushed up to see that face, if it wasn’t the familiar one, she was truly afraid she couldn’t bear it!
The man in front finished choosing his items and then stepped towards the cashier. His body turned slightly, but Dong Xin Yan’s view was momentarily blocked by a product. By the time she moved it aside, the man had already turned and left.
She stood still, hesitating for a few seconds, but then resolutely lifted her foot to chase after him.
Even though she was afraid in her heart, the longing inside her was stronger.
She wanted to find him, to see him, to know he was safe...
Dong Xin Yan hurriedly turned around from the side of the shelves, chased to the cashier, but the man had already paid and was walking towards the door, ready to push it open.
Without even thinking she wanted to rush out too, but just as she was about to catch up, suddenly an arm blocked her path.
"Hey, you haven’t paid yet."
It was a convenience store employee, speaking fluent English, looking at the bottle of drink in her hand and then at her.
It was only then that Dong Xin Yan realized she was holding a drink. She was so focused on chasing after him that she hadn’t thought about it. She quickly handed the drink back to the employee and then hurried out again.
Out of the convenience store, she looked around, that familiar figure was over fifty meters ahead, crossing the street.
Dong Xin Yan didn’t even have time to catch her breath before she lifted her foot to run after him, but when she reached the street, the green light had already ended, and the red light came on.
She initially wanted to rush forward regardless, but after taking two steps, many cars started coming, and she had no choice but to retract her steps. But that familiar figure was moving further away, and she anxiously stood on her toes, cupped her hands around her mouth, and shouted loudly towards the back, "Gu Ningyi!"
Gu Ningyi, is that you?
If it’s you, please stop and wait for me, don’t go any further, I’m truly afraid that I won’t be able to catch up with you!
With that shout, it was as if she poured all her strength into it, her dark eyes fixed firmly on that figure ahead, hoping he would turn around, hoping she would see that familiar face.
The man in front seemed to hear her shout, his cheek slightly turned. Though it was only for a few seconds, and just a forty-five-degree profile, Dong Xin Yan recognized him at once.
