My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 736 Let’s Collaborate (8)

Mr. Dong did not, as before, erupt in anger at the mention of Gu Ningyi, indiscriminately accusing her of chasing vanity and seducing a rich young man. Instead, he asked calmly. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

But this calm inquiry also had a sense of the calm before a storm.

Dong Xin Yan peeked at Mr. Dong’s expression, unable to discern what he was thinking. But no matter what, she could not separate from Gu Ningyi anymore. Even if he was angry, she would not change again.

Her hands, resting on her knees, unconsciously clenched. She swallowed lightly, then spoke, word by word, clearly and firmly, "Yes, I love Gu Ningyi. I want to be with him."

Her response was anticipated. Mr. Dong wasn’t surprised, but he couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

This reaction from Mr. Dong was unexpected for Dong Xin Yan. She thought Mr. Dong might get angry or displeased, but how could he just sigh?

"Dad?" Dong Xin Yan blinked in confusion.

"To be honest, I still don’t approve of you being with Mr. Gu, but even if I disagree, you won’t listen to me anymore, will you?" Mr. Dong replied with a question instead.

Dong Xin Yan hesitated for a few seconds, but still nodded.

Mr. Dong’s dark eyes were heavy, and his tone became even more serious and solemn, "Xinxin, whether you and Mr. Gu can be together has never been the key from my side. Whether you can be together depends on the Gu Family’s attitude. A family like that would never accept you. If you insist on being together, you’ll suffer in the future."

"Dad... Actually, I haven’t thought that far. I just purely want to be with him. As for other things, let’s talk about it in the future."

This sentence was spoken quite guiltily by Dong Xin Yan. Ever since she reconciled with Gu Ningyi, he often hinted about their future in his words.

He wants to marry her, wants to be her husband, wants her to bear children for him.

And she ignored it again and again... Rather than ignoring, it was more that she was afraid to face the future.

In her heart, she knew that with Gu Ningyi’s background, only heiresses like Zhou Yalin and Yuan Shi could match him. She didn’t have a background or money, and even her job was somewhat unimpressive. How could she possibly catch Gu Ningyi’s parents’ eyes or enter the Gu Family’s door?

She didn’t know what the future held, so she could only, like a turtle, hide in her shell, tightly holding onto everything in front of her, stealing some momentary joy.

Dong Xin Yan had originally wanted to talk to Mr. Dong about her mother, but feeling down and noticing Mr. Dong’s bad mood, she swallowed the words back, thinking she would find another time to talk about it properly.

On the way back, Dong Xin Yan drove past a pharmacy. She thought it over and circled back. She parked the car by the road, got out, and entered the pharmacy.

When Dong Xin Yan returned to the villa, Gu Ningyi was not there. She guessed he had gone to the company.

She changed her shoes, went upstairs, entered the bedroom, and collapsed onto the bed.

She went out happy but returned heavy-hearted.

Dong Xin Yan lay for a while, then slowly sat up, took the bag she bought from the pharmacy, opened it, and took out a box of medicine.

She held it in her hand, stared at it for a few seconds, gently bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, moved her fingers to unscrew the cap, poured out a pill, and placed it in her mouth.
