Chapter 185: Chapter 184 Pretend Fight Turns Real (4)

Three words immediately stifled Dong Xin Yan’s frustration.

If Mr. Gu had asked her this question before tonight’s scene was canceled, she would have confidently told him she was very busy.

But now, it’s just after five in the afternoon, and she was able to finish work and rest early; she doesn’t even have the confidence to say she’s busy.

No, how did Mr. Gu know she wasn’t busy? And how did he time it so perfectly to have Uncle Li pick her up?

Could it be...

Dong Xin Yan suddenly recalled what the director said earlier: Mr. Gu had already called. At that time, she was puzzled about what the call was about, but now it hit her like a lightning bolt.

Could it be that today’s scene was canceled because of Mr. Gu? Did he call the director, so the director canceled her scene at the last minute, and that’s why the director firmly believes there’s something going on between them?

No wonder she explained for so long, till her mouth was dry, yet the director didn’t believe her. Who knows how low he’s thinking of her now.

Dong Xin Yan was instantly dejected and disheartened.

All these years in the entertainment circle, she has always kept a low profile and been well-behaved, staying away from scandals and never hyping herself, just wanting her work to speak for her.

But now, with just one call from him, he destroyed her reputation built over so many years.

More importantly, if he truly didn’t like her not returning, he could have directly refused her yesterday, instead of agreeing and then playing dirty behind her back.

The more Dong Xin Yan thought about it, the angrier she became, a hint of rage filling her eyes. She slightly gritted her teeth, wanting to restrain her anger, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn’t help but say, "I used to be very busy, but now, thanks to you, I’m quite idle!"

Yet Mr. Gu seemed oblivious to the anger in her voice, maintaining that indifferent tone, "Since you’re quite idle, there’s no need to stay there, right?"

The last "right?" was uttered by Mr. Gu in a deliberately lowered voice, slightly dragging out the ending, sounding enchanting and lingering.

But to Dong Xin Yan, it sounded like mockery and provocation.

She suddenly understood; Mr. Gu yesterday wasn’t easygoing at all; he had intentionally set a trap for her to fall into, and she foolishly believed he had changed his ways...

A suffocating feeling lodged in Dong Xin Yan’s chest, neither rising nor falling, making her feel uneasy. Her delicate brows furrowed tightly, and the hand holding the phone clenched tightly.

At this moment, she really wanted to shout over the phone: "Forget returning, Gu Ningyi, you cosmic-level villain!" and then hang up dominantly, letting him be damned!

However, Dong Xin Yan’s red lips parted, and though the words were at the tip of her tongue, she couldn’t bring herself to say them.

Because she knew too well the consequences of acting rashly!

So, while imagination is beautiful, reality remains harsh. After all, who let her have her weakness clutched by Gu Ningyi? Who let her be in a weaker position now?

Enduring the unbearable, she had to endure further!

Dong Xin Yan took several deep breaths in and out, forcibly suppressing all her anger, squeezing out a faint smile before softly responding, "I understand, I will return."

The forcibly suppressed angry voice of Dong Xin Yan reached Gu Ningyi’s ears, his lips curled slightly, suddenly feeling the blockage in his chest diminish significantly.
