Chapter 139: Chapter 138 My Patience Has Its Limits (4)

As this thought slipped into her mind, Dong Xin Yan’s heart jolted, giving her a harsh shiver.

Did she just wake up, her brain not fully alert yet, thinking of such nonsense?

Dong Xin Yan couldn’t help but raise her hand and slap her forehead hard, slapping with enough force that her forehead turned red, causing her to frown in pain.

Last night’s dinner was ruined because Gu Ningyi lost his temper. Dong Xin Yan went downstairs, clearing the ingredients scattered in the living room, putting them away in the fridge one by one. Then she thought about whether to make breakfast for Gu Ningyi.

It’s not that she wanted to face Gu Ningyi, it’s just that yesterday he got so angry that he nearly called the lawyer to sue Ziyang. She wasn’t sure if he had calmed down, or whether he would still sue Ziyang.

Regardless, she had to find out, right?

Still worrying about Ziyang, Dong Xin Yan started preparing breakfast.

Although she didn’t know what kind of breakfast Gu Ningyi liked, she had seen the Gu Family’s breakfast, which was basically Western-style, so Dong Xin Yan prepared Western breakfast too.

Gu Ningyi took a cold shower, letting the cold water drizzle down from his head, slightly suppressing the irritation in his heart. Then he exited the bathroom, selected a suit, dressed neatly in front of the mirror, and returned to his usual cold demeanor.

As he descended the spiral staircase, his dark eyes lifted slightly, seeing Dong Xin Yan standing at the staircase entrance.

She stood there motionlessly, hands gently clasped, hanging in front of her, with long hair loosely tied up. Because she slightly lowered her head, a white nape was exposed, and with the outdoor sunlight spilling in, that patch of white became even more dazzling.

Involuntarily, Gu Ningyi glanced at her, feeling an inexplicable ripple in his heart. He furrowed his brows, shifting his eyes expressionlessly, passing by Dong Xin Yan without a pause in his steps.

Noticing Gu Ningyi’s indifference, Dong Xin Yan couldn’t help but feel a bit of retreat in her heart. But thinking of Ziyang, she clenched her hands, giving herself encouragement.

Dong Xin Yan quietly took a few deep breaths, then lifted her gaze, watching Gu Ningyi’s back. Her red lips moved, and in a low voice, she spoke, "Mr. Gu, I, I have made breakfast, would you... would you like some?"

Gu Ningyi’s steps paused for a moment, but he did not turn back.

Dong Xin Yan took another deep breath, clutching her skirt tighter, and pressed on, "Just freshly made, have some before you go."

Her voice was very soft, with a hint of a tremor due to nervousness.

As Gu Ningyi listened to her words, his face turned slightly towards the dining room, where he saw a table laid with steak, eggs, bread, and milk.

Very familiar.

Every morning on the Gu Family’s dining table, these exact items were placed.

Unwillingly, he thought again about the dishes he saw in the fridge yesterday, a smirk of irony flickering swiftly in his eyes.

Even when trying to please, it’s this perfunctory.

However... his feet started moving uncontrollably.

Watching Gu Ningyi turning towards the dining table, Dong Xin Yan’s high-strung heart slowly settled down. Then she stepped forward, heading towards the dining table as well.

Gu Ningyi sat down, began to eat silently, while Dong Xin Yan sat down, picking up knife and fork, eating and contemplating the plan. She thought to apologize sincerely to Gu Ningyi first, hoping to pacify his anger, then naturally segue into Ziyang’s issue, so maybe he wouldn’t be annoyed.
