Chapter 133: Chapter 132 When and Where at What Time (16)

When Gu Ningyi returned, it was still midday, the sunlight bright and splendid, and now the sun had set over the western hills, nightfall descended, and Dong Xin Yan was only just arriving late.

Nearly an entire afternoon, had she been at the detention center, accompanying Cheng Ziyang?

Gu Ningyi slowly lifted his eyelids, his dark eyes slightly moving, fixedly staring at Dong Xin Yan, his thin lips lightly parting, his voice low with a hint of heaviness, not answering but asking in return, "Where have you been?"

The tone made Dong Xin Yan’s heart tremble slightly, but she was mentally prepared, remaining relatively calm, slightly pressing her lips together, then softly said, "I planned to treat you to dinner today to thank you, so I went down to the supermarket at the foot of the hill to buy some ingredients."

As Dong Xin Yan spoke, she slightly gestured to the bag in her hand, indicating her sincerity.

Gu Ningyi lowered his eyes, letting his gaze fall upon that bag, a white transparent bag, inside which the ingredients could be clearly seen. Gu Ningyi swept a glance, noting that there was not a single thing he liked to eat.

He remembered returning to the villa at midday, entering the kitchen to drink water, and seeing the food in the refrigerator, scanning it briefly, discovering it was the same dishes Dong Xin Yan used to love making for Cheng Ziyang, which must be his favorite foods.

Towards Cheng Ziyang, she gave her wholehearted care, yet towards him, no matter how sincere her tone, or gentle her demeanor, it was nothing but perfunctory.

Gu Ningyi’s lips curled into a sneer, letting out a cold laugh, the light in his eyes suddenly darkening.

"Went to the supermarket?" His voice was lazy, still very calm.

Seeing Gu Ningyi seemingly without suspicion, Dong Xin Yan’s heart settled even more, nodding assuredly, "Mm."

But just as that ’mm’ left her lips, Gu Ningyi abruptly stood up from the sofa, with a swing of his hand, directly knocking the vase off the coffee table. The vase crashed to the floor, shattering on the marble surface, creating a clear and terrifying sound.

Dong Xin Yan was startled by the sound, her whole body shuddering, eyes widened in shock.

Gu Ningyi’s tall figure stood before her, his handsome face devoid of expression, his gaze deep and dark, devoid of any warmth, shooting straight at her.

Gu Ningyi’s thin lips lightly parted, once again repeating his earlier question, "Where have you been?"

The same tone, the same words, but now, those four words struck Dong Xin Yan like a thousand-pound boulder, hitting her hard.

Dong Xin Yan’s body began to tremble immediately, her heart rapidly suspended in mid-air.

What did Gu Ningyi mean by asking this? Could it be he knows something?

No, no, it’s impossible for him to know; if he did, it would have been impossible for her to meet Ziyang today, let alone spend time with him, so she had to stay calm, must remain calm, and absolutely not lose her composure.

Dong Xin Yan’s hand clenched tightly, forcibly suppressing the panic in her eyes, and she managed to tug her lips into a faint curve, putting on a facade of innocence, saying, "I... I just went to the super..."

Before she could finish saying ’market,’ Gu Ningyi stepped forward with his long leg, striding directly to her front, his large hand extending directly toward her tender neck, his slender fingers unceremoniously gripping her throat.

Gu Ningyi’s expression remained unchanged, yet his eyes were overflowing with terrifying sharpness, his voice when he spoke was like a sharp ice blade, enunciating each word.
