My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 624: He Really Is Still Alive (4)

It is indeed unusual for someone who has clearly died to still be alive.

A trace of unease quickly flashed through Dong Xin Yan’s heart, but it was soon drowned by the overwhelming joy of regained love. After all, no matter what happened to Gu Ningyi, as long as their hearts, full of love for each other, remained, everything would be fine.

This time, when she found him, when she saw him, she would hug him tightly and definitely tell him all her true feelings. They would never be apart again.

Qin Qian found the license plate number of the car Gu Ningyi drove that night from the footage at the street corner. Following this number, she traced the registered owner, and indeed, the registered name was: NINGYI, GU.

She then continued along this line, tracing the car’s route, but this wasn’t easy and was fraught with uncertainties.

For example, she managed to track where the car went, but by the time she and Dong Xin Yan rushed there, the person had already left.

Or, after investigating for some time and analyzing the places the car frequently visited, she and Dong Xin Yan took turns keeping watch, but they still couldn’t see Gu Ningyi.

Time mercilessly slipped by, and all they had was this one clue, which was of no help. Just like that, half a month slipped away.

Qin Qian observed that although Dong Xin Yan kept up her smile every day, she could see how anxious and distressed she was inside. She often woke up in the middle of the night to see Dong Xin Yan, who ought to have been asleep, leaning on the balcony railing, her slender figure holding a phone, repeatedly calling a number that never powered on, leaving messages time after time.

From a distance, she couldn’t hear what she was saying, but she saw her lips trying to curve upward, tears glittering in her eyes, which made her own heart ache as well.

Love has always been a double-edged sword.

When it’s sweet, it can touch the soul, but when it turns cruel, it’s a pain that peels the skin and gnaws the bones.

She had tasted the pains of love and truly did not want Xinxin to endure such torment as well. Her hand unconsciously clenched, and she slowly took out her phone, opened her contact list’s blacklist, and unblocked the only number there.

She stared intently at that number for a long while, her fingers then slowly and stiffly pressed the call button. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Heaven always leaves a path, and three days later, Qin Qian finally received a piece of definitive news—Gu Ningyi would attend the MK Group anniversary banquet the next day.

MK Group is one of the leading multinational companies in the world, and its largest shareholder is Gu Zhengde, who is also Gu Ningyi’s father.

At this time, Gu Ningyi was also representing his father in attending the banquet. It was said that he might likely inherit all his father’s shares and become the CEO of MK Group.

Such a grand banquet required an invitation to enter. Due to the tight timeline, Qin Qian was unable to get an invitation. However, she managed to get Dong Xin Yan a temporary job as a server.

Dong Xin Yan did not mind at all. Not to mention being a server, even if she were a cleaning lady, as long as she could sneak in and have a chance to see Gu Ningyi, she would do anything.

The night, exactly eight o’clock.

Dong Xin Yan, dressed as a server, stood in the corner of the banquet hall, her dark eyes unwaveringly fixed on the door, waiting for her Gu Ningyi to arrive.

Tonight, she would finally see him.
