Dong Xin Yan bit her lower lip again, her voice slightly trembling, yet she spoke each word deliberately.
As soon as she finished speaking, Dong Xin Yan felt a pain in her jaw. Her face was forcibly turned back, and her eyes were caught off guard by Gu Ningyi's dark eyes. There was no anger in his gaze, but a hint of a cold smile. Yet this smile made Dong Xin Yan even more uneasy.
"Dong Xin Yan, is this your attitude when asking for help?" Gu Ningyi let out a laugh, mocking in his tone, "If it is, then you can leave. The door is over there."
Gu Ningyi released her hand, propped himself up, and casually adjusted his collar, maintaining his impeccable appearance and graceful demeanor. He reverted to his usual elegant indolence, then without even glancing at her, turned to leave.
At that moment, Dong Xin Yan's whole heart felt as if it had turned cold.
Since Cheng Ziyang's incident half a month ago, she had been running around everywhere, seeking connections and laying the groundwork, guarding vigilantly and intercepting people everywhere. She finally managed to secure this opportunity to persuade Gu Ningyi to release Cheng Ziyang. If she were to be chased away by Gu Ningyi now, then there would be no hope of saving Ziyang... he would have to go to prison...
No, under no circumstances could she allow Ziyang to go to prison.
Dong Xin Yan suddenly grabbed Gu Ningyi's sleeve, stopping him in his tracks. Gu Ningyi's steps paused slightly, his dark eyes lowered as he glanced at her hand, his voice icy, "Let go."
Letting go was out of the question. Dong Xin Yan pressed her lips, clutching even tighter. She couldn't bring herself to utter words of weakness or plead; she just shook her head at him.
Gu Ningyi's brow furrowed a bit, and he directly raised his hand to pry Dong Xin Yan's hands off. Although Dong Xin Yan tried hard to hold on to him, she ultimately couldn't match his strength, and her slender, beautiful fingers were pried open one by one.
Dong Xin Yan was flung back into the sofa. Gu Ningyi didn't spare her a glance, reaching directly to press the phone on the coffee table.
Dong Xin Yan knew that Gu Ningyi was probably about to call someone to throw her out again. In the past half month, she had been thrown out by him so many times that she couldn't count them on her fingers — mercilessly, decisively, sharply.
But she absolutely couldn't be thrown out again!!! Latest content published on novel·fiɾe·net
"Qingfeng..." Gu Ningyi's cold voice had already started.
Facing a desperate situation, people often burst out with incredible courage and strength. Dong Xin Yan hurriedly lunged at the coffee table, yanking out the phone cord with one hand. Before Gu Ningyi could react, she abruptly stood up and lunged straight at him.
The force was somewhat overwhelming, and Gu Ningyi, caught off guard, was pushed back several steps by Dong Xin Yan, falling onto another sofa behind them, with Dong Xin Yan landing on top of him.
Everything happened too fast, too suddenly. It took Gu Ningyi several seconds of dumbfoundment before he instinctively tried to push Dong Xin Yan away. But fearing being pushed away, Dong Xin Yan quickly wrapped her arms around Gu Ningyi's neck. Gu Ningyi's brow furrowed even tighter, and impatience flickered in his eyes.
Dong Xin Yan was in a panic. She didn't know what to do for a moment, finally closing her black eyes tightly and resolutely kissing his lips.
A soft touch covered his lips. Gu Ningyi's hands, which had been about to push Dong Xin Yan away, somehow stopped.
Her lips were slightly cool, even trembling a bit due to nervousness. She did nothing, just lip to lip, yet strangely, it gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, so familiar that for a moment, he forgot to push her away.
