My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 619: Unyielding Search (9)

All the hopes that were ignited were crushed little by little by Secretary Lin’s words.

She really didn’t know... The search and rescue team had retrieved all the bodies from the water. Perhaps subconsciously she was resisting this, so she did not pay attention, preferring to know that there were still bodies missing and unretrieved. This way, she could comfort herself that Gu Ningyi was still alive.

Her hands fell weakly, and her whole body began to tremble violently as if her soul had been suddenly sucked out.

So, does that mean the person she saw tonight was still the result of her mistaken identity? Was he just someone who looked so much like Gu Ningyi? So... when she called out to him, that’s why he didn’t stop?

If it were Gu Ningyi... he would have definitely stopped, right?

But how could that person not be him? His appearance, his voice, even the way he walked, his way of speaking, were all deeply engraved in her heart. No matter how similar someone is... how could everything be so identical?

Dong Xin Yan did not know how she returned to her small apartment, her whole being muddled and dazed. Upon returning, she directly collapsed onto the bed and closed her eyes in exhaustion.

In these past few months, all her moments of happiness occurred when she was not conscious because being awake was too painful. Only when she was asleep could she see Gu Ningyi, speak with him, hold him, and tell herself that he was still well and alive...

It seemed to Dong Xin Yan that she had slept for a long time or perhaps had just fallen asleep, when suddenly the phone rang. She was unwilling to open her eyes, reluctant to wake up from her beautiful dream. She unconsciously pulled the quilt over her head.

However, the phone’s ringtone persisted, ringing in her ears incessantly. Unable to avoid it, Dong Xin Yan had no choice but to reluctantly lift her eyelids slightly, extend her hand, and feel for her phone in the bag, answering it, "Hello."

"Dong Xin Yan, Miss Dong, don’t tell me you’re still sleeping now!"

A clear, loud voice came through from the other end of the phone. Dong Xin Yan’s mind was still foggy, not knowing who it was for a moment, "Who’s this?"

"Who’s this?" The woman on the other end immediately raised her voice, sounding frayed, "Dong Xin Yan, have you gone nuts looking for people these past few months? I arranged with you half a month ago, yet you could forget? What’s going on now? Only focusing on a man? Do you not want your best friend anymore?"

Best friend...

Dong Xin Yan jerked awake, her dark eyes suddenly opening wide, and she quickly sat up in bed, "Qian, Qianqian, I’m sorry, I... I forgot I was supposed to pick you up today, how are you? Have you arrived?"

"Of course! I got off the plane half an hour ago, and now I’m giving you one more hour. If I don’t see you in an hour, consider our many years of friendship done. That’s that!"

-

By the time Dong Xin Yan hurriedly arrived at the airport, Qin Qian was sitting on her large suitcase, impatiently talking on her phone.

Dong Xin Yan took a few deep breaths, slowly walking forward.

Qin Qian raised her eyes and looked at the woman in front of her, stunned for a moment, almost unable to recognize her.

This frail, thin woman, who looked as if a gust of wind could carry her away, was really Dong Xin Yan?

"Xin... Xinxin?"

Qin Qian sounded choked up, taking a while to squeeze the words out of her throat.
