My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 708 The Last Step (12)

How could such a cautious inquiry belong to her?

Yet all of this was caused by him.

He had just listened to those 168 messages without feeling sad, but now, with her single word, he felt a deep sorrow.

A sudden moistness appeared in his eyes, and Gu Ningyi closed them briefly. His arms tightened around her involuntarily, his cheek pressed against hers, as a tear slowly trickled from the corner of his eye, falling into her hair.

"Dong Xin Yan, if not me, then who else?"

Gu Ningyi parted his lips, enunciating each word near her ear, his voice slightly hoarse.

If not me, then who else?

Indeed, if not him, then who else?

Her Gu Ningyi would never leave her; he never had the heart to abandon her.

Dong Xin Yan slowly wrapped her arms around Gu Ningyi’s waist, feeling the warmth, just like before. Tears fell as her arms gradually tightened, using all her strength to hold the man in front of her.

She had thought for so long, yearned for so long, for this embrace, which she almost lost.

"Gu Ningyi, you big jerk!"

Her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, pounding his back repeatedly, her voice hoarse, choked with sobs, "I thought you really left, really didn’t want me anymore."

When she learned of his plane crash, it hadn’t been as despairing as this moment. His cold departing figure terrified her more than anything, because... once he left, he would truly disappear from her world, and wouldn’t wait for her anymore.

"Never again, never again."

With one hand around her waist and the other gently caressing her head, Gu Ningyi softly kissed her temple, his voice deep and raspy, "Dong Xin Yan, I won’t leave you, I won’t disappear, and I won’t make you wait anymore, I swear."

"From now on, whenever you turn around, I’ll be right behind you. You’ll never... be unable to find me."

Dong Xin Yan shook her head in Gu Ningyi’s embrace, her tears slowly soaking his clothes. She sniffed and said, "No, I don’t want you behind me. Just walk in front of me, so I won’t lose sight of you and won’t lose you."

"Silly girl."

Gu Ningyi seemed to whisper those two words in her ear. The next moment, his warm palms cupped her cheeks, his dark eyes closing as his thin lips tenderly pressed onto hers.

His kiss was so gentle, so lingering, carrying the joy, thrill, and gratitude of regaining something lost. Through this kiss, he clearly conveyed all his emotions to her.

Dong Xin Yan’s dark eyes widened slightly, her long, curled lashes trembling. After a moment, her eyelids slowly closed, and she opened her lips to respond to his kiss. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Like travelers in a desert who had finally found an oasis, they revelled in joy, clinging to each other as if they were each other’s water source, hungrily drawing from each other. His tongue invaded her, sweeping through her mouth like a strong wind, absorbing the sweetness within.

Dong Xin Yan’s hands also unconsciously moved to caress his cheeks, her nails gently entwining in his hair, passionately responding to him.

Her tongue actively intertwined with his, dancing together, releasing the deep repression of these past months and her fervent emotions, as if everything was bursting out in this single moment.

A low growl escaped from Gu Ningyi’s throat. He wrapped his arm tightly around her, lifting her up, taking a few steps forward, then swept everything off the long table with his other hand, pinning Dong Xin Yan onto it.
