My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 639: Scars on the Wrist (1)
The requirements for a servant job were much simpler than those for a secretary—good looks, hard work and endurance, yet there was one crucial condition: absolutely under no circumstances should one disturb Gu Ningyi or use work as an excuse to harass him. If discovered, not only would they be fired, but they would also have to pay a hefty penalty for breach of contract.
When signing the contract, Dong Xin Yan hesitated for a second.
It wasn’t that she was worried about the hefty penalty; she feared she might not be able to resist getting closer to Gu Ningyi.
But on second thought, her aim this time in approaching him was not to rekindle an old flame, but to first find out what exactly was happening to him. Thus, her identity must absolutely not be exposed, or else she wouldn’t uncover anything and would be expelled again.
With that in mind, Dong Xin Yan picked up the pen without hesitation and signed her name.
According to the requirements, the servant had to live in the villa, stay there during work hours, and could arrange their own time outside of work. The job operated on a rotation system, with one day off per week.
On the day Dong Xin Yan was moving into Gu Ningyi’s villa, Qin Qian completed her work in the United States and had to return home. Dong Xin Yan went to send off Qin Qian at the airport, where they embraced tightly for a while. Dong Xin Yan couldn’t help but sigh, "I really can’t bear to part with you."
Honestly, being alone in the United States for so long, she never felt lonely. But it was only after Qin Qian came that she realized how lonely she truly was.
In those days, if it weren’t for Qin Qian’s company and encouragement, she didn’t even know if she could make it through.
"Silly girl!" Qin Qian scolded with a smile, then slowly released Dong Xin Yan, her expression gradually turning serious. "Xinxin, although I really hope you can reconcile with Gu Ningyi and return to the way things were, you shouldn’t wrong yourself either. When it comes to matters of the heart, as long as you’ve tried your best and put in your heart, that’s enough."
"Mhmm, I know."
"Alright, I’m leaving. You must come back soon, my wedding is waiting for you to be my bridesmaid, right? Of course... it’d be best if you also bring my groomsman back."
Her eyes grew moist, but Dong Xin Yan smiled, nodding firmly. "Okay, I will bring him back."
After seeing off Qin Qian, Dong Xin Yan returned to her apartment, packed her luggage briefly, and headed towards the villa. Before leaving, she habitually took out her phone, skillfully dialed that familiar number, and left a message.
"Gu Ningyi, you drove me away, but now I return to your side under a different identity. I said before, you can’t drive me away, just like I couldn’t drive you away back then... I asked you if you no longer loved me. You didn’t answer me. Is it because you’re too disdainful to answer, or can you not answer because you still love me? I will find out the answer eventually."

On Dong Xin Yan’s first day as a servant, she met Gu Ningyi.
The housekeeper led this group of new servants to be inspected by Gu Ningyi. In order to prevent Gu Ningyi from recognizing her, she got up two hours early and carefully applied makeup to disguise her true appearance. She even bought fake fat from Taobao to stick to her waist, slightly altering her body shape.
Nevertheless, when Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes swept over her lightly, she couldn’t help but bow her head, her hands hanging by her sides clenching slightly. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
She had gone to such lengths; he shouldn’t... be able to recognize her, right?
