Chapter 127: Chapter 126 When and Where Exactly (10)

There was silence for a moment, then finally a voice came from the other side, still in that lazy tone, "No, I just heard from Secretary Lin that you called her yesterday."

After a pause, his voice lowered a bit, "She said you wanted to invite me to dinner, to thank me, is that right?"

I have to say, when Dong Xin Yan heard Gu Ningyi say this, her heart, which was almost in her throat, slowly calmed down. She quietly let out a breath.

Just now, she really thought that Gu Ningyi knew about her meeting with Ziyang, but fortunately, it wasn’t the case...

However, she clearly remembered that Secretary Lin had promised she wouldn’t tell Gu Ningyi about the call, so why did she?

But now wasn’t the time to think about that. She needed to quickly get rid of Gu Ningyi.

"Well, I did call Secretary Lin yesterday, and I did want to invite you to dinner. I had a fever earlier, and it was thanks to you that I got to the hospital, a private hospital, where the doctor checked on me every day. That’s how I recovered so quickly. Thank you so much."

Even though she really disliked Gu Ningyi, her words of thanks were actually sincere this time.

Unfortunately, Gu Ningyi didn’t take it graciously. His voice came out with his usual annoying sarcasm, "It’s really surprising that you would thank me."

"..."

As expected, every time Gu Ningyi opened his mouth, he could ruin someone’s mood in an instant. Luckily, she was used to it and didn’t care about his sharp tongue.

Dong Xin Yan acted as if she hadn’t heard him, trying her best to speak in a calm and gentle voice, "But I heard from Secretary Lin that you’re very busy today, no time, so I..."

Before Dong Xin Yan could finish, Gu Ningyi interrupted with four straightforward words, "I’m free now."

The rest of Dong Xin Yan’s words got stuck in her throat. She widened her eyes in surprise and couldn’t quite react.

Gu Ningyi’s voice continued, "So, you’re inviting me to dinner, and I agree."

"Today, I will return to the villa."

Before she could respond, Gu Ningyi directly hung up the call, leaving only the cold beep-beep-beep in her ear.

Dong Xin Yan remained in the same posture of answering the phone, stunned for quite a while. Only then did her hand, holding the phone, fall helplessly.

How could this happen?

Gu Ningyi’s schedule was clearly packed today, so why was he suddenly free?

She planned to spend the whole day with Ziyang, but now... Gu Ningyi was going back to the villa, and he didn’t say when, so she had to hurry back. Otherwise, if Gu Ningyi didn’t find her there, she wouldn’t know how to explain.

But now she was already here, just a short distance away, and she could see Ziyang. Is she really going back just like that?

She had finally mustered the courage to see Ziyang, and she hadn’t even taken a good look at him, hadn’t even told him ’Happy Birthday’. How could she be willing to leave!

Dong Xin Yan unconsciously lifted her eyes to look at the entrance of the detention center, then lowered her eyes to the cake in her hand. It was a chestnut cake, Ziyang’s favorite, that she had baked with great care. Her hand trembled violently, her gaze struggling, and finally, slowly firmed up.

At least, let her take a look at Ziyang before she leaves?

Dong Xin Yan closed her eyes, clenched her hands tightly, then took a step towards the entrance of the detention center.
