Dong Xin Yan was still lost in her thoughts when Gu Ningyi finished his call. He put away his phone, his dark eyes looking at her, all the warmth withdrawn, leaving only a cold gaze. He didn't say another word, simply tugged her hand down briskly and then strode towards the door.
Dong Xin Yan was shaken by the coldness in Gu Ningyi's eyes, and she stood there frozen, helplessly watching his broad back as he left. Not until his figure completely vanished from her sight, did she blink, and a dense pain engulfed her from all directions, piercing her harshly.
Everything she had dreamed up in her mind was shattered in this moment.
This banquet tonight was such an important occasion, yet Gu Ningyi, just because of a phone call, came and didn't even stay for a while before leaving?
And she, she hadn't even become a stranger to him, but rather someone even more terrifying who he pretended not to see.
This was more frightening than becoming a stranger to him.
