My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 677: You Have to Take Responsibility for Me (5)

Gu Ningyi’s face was cold and stern, his entire demeanor suddenly turned icy, his dark eyes looking at her without a trace of warmth.

Dong Xin Yan was not afraid at all, the curve of her lips still uplifted, "Gu Ningyi, I knew you still cared about me."

No matter how much he pretends to be indifferent, in the end, he still can’t really ignore her, right?

Gu Ningyi’s thin lips were tightly pressed, the lines of his face forming a hard, cold line, his gaze deep, he said nothing, and turned to leave.

How could Dong Xin Yan easily let Gu Ningyi go, she raised her hand, tightly grabbing Gu Ningyi’s hand, "Gu Ningyi, I know you’re still angry at me for what happened before, I don’t expect you to forgive me right now, but at least give me a chance to make it up to you, okay?"

These days, even though Gu Ningyi has been avoiding her, she’s gradually become certain in her heart that Gu Ningyi still has feelings for her, still loves her, it’s just that the knot in his heart regarding her is too heavy, which is why he is unwilling to accept her again.

She is now trying to untie this knot, so that they have a chance to be together again.

Gu Ningyi lowered his eyes, glancing at her hand gripping his, his gaze slightly wavering.

The soft, warm touch, as always, for a moment, he even reflexively wanted to grasp her hand in return, but... it was just for a moment.

He took a light breath, his face growing even darker, raising his hand, he unceremoniously brushed off Dong Xin Yan’s hand.

"I’m not angry." Gu Ningyi spoke coldly, "I don’t need you to make up for anything, between us... there’s only a transaction left, that’s all."

It’s always like this... 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Every time there’s any tendency towards reconciliation, he always builds up a cold shell, keeping her firmly outside. He himself is unwilling to step out, and won’t let her step in.

Dong Xin Yan’s delicate brows knit tightly, feeling both sad and heartbroken.

Clearly loving someone, yet forcibly suppressing oneself, battling with one’s own heart every day, numbing oneself daily, equating to being trapped in hell’s torment every single day.

Sometimes she would rather he completely stopped loving her, completely let her go, completely able to live a good life without her presence, at least then he would be happy.

Dong Xin Yan lowered her eyes slightly, a hint of gloom passing through her gaze, but soon she looked up again, revitalized, saying, "A month and a half left, Gu Ningyi, I will definitely make you change your mind!"

-

Gu Ningyi returned to his room, shedding all his pretentious coldness, feeling powerless, he collapsed onto the sofa.

Dong Xin Yan’s clear and determined voice kept echoing in his ears, he wanted to ignore it, wanted to shake it off hard, yet it clung to him like a shadow.

A month and a half left?

Why need a month and a half? As long as she gets close to him, his bottom line starts retreating bit by bit, his defenses get chipped away little by little.

Love to him is always an inexplicable mystery, why is it that once Dong Xin Yan appears, his world can only concede.

He really... can no longer let himself fall into this uncontrollable situation, between him and Dong Xin Yan, he mustn’t let her lead him by the nose, he must control his own heart.

Gu Ningyi braced his forehead with his hand, leaning back on the sofa for a long while before picking up his phone and dialing a number.

"President Li, about your niece, let’s set a time to meet."
