My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go
Chapter 98 - 97 My Affairs, No Interference Allowed (19)

Gu Ningyi remained silent for about a few minutes, still without any expression, then casually lowered his eyes, signed the documents one by one, and handed them back to Secretary Lin.

Before Secretary Lin left, she gave Gu Ningyi a reluctant glance.

Why didn’t the Boss react? Could it be that she guessed wrong? Is the Boss not interested in Miss Dong?

After Secretary Lin left the office, Gu Ningyi continued to look at the reports, yet, unknowingly, those densely packed numbers on the report turned into Dong Xin Yan’s face.

Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes suddenly sank, and his hand on the table gradually clenched tighter.

He hadn’t returned to the villa in the past few days, avoiding seeing Dong Xin Yan, just to clear up the reason for his agitation and loss of control at the hospital.

However, after several days of thinking, in the end, the more he thought, the more confused he became.

Before, as long as he didn’t see Dong Xin Yan, those strange emotions would disappear. Now, not only did these emotions fail to disappear, but they even became more intense, making him more agitated these past few days.

So, he still didn’t want to see Dong Xin Yan for the time being, nor did he want to hear any news about her.

Yet, somehow today, he inexplicably asked that question. Yet, her illness still hasn’t improved, yet... hearing what Secretary Lin said, his heart unexpectedly wavered again...

Gu Ningyi furrowed his brows, his dark eyes growing even deeper.

Gu Ningyi was leaving the company when he received a call from Yuan Shen, saying there was a gathering at Black Pool tonight and inviting him to join.

Gu Ningyi paused slightly, then said okay. After hanging up the phone, he went straight to the underground parking lot, walked to his car, opened the door, got in, started the car, and drove away.

When he arrived at Black Pool, the private room was already buzzing with activity, the atmosphere particularly lively.

Everyone stood up to greet Gu Ningyi upon seeing him. Gu Ningyi nodded slightly and directly sat on the sofa. Yuan Shen immediately leaned over with a smile, "Mr. Gu, it’s really hard to get you out these days~ It’s been so long since you’ve come out, don’t you think you should first self-punish with three drinks?"

As soon as Yuan Shen said this, it naturally incited everyone’s roars and agreements. Gu Ningyi glanced at Yuan Shen, his lips curled with a hint of mischief, but he didn’t refuse, instead, he directly picked up the wine glass on the coffee table to drink it down.

But at this moment, Dong Xin Yan’s face involuntarily appeared in his mind, and Secretary Lin’s words echoed in his ears. "Miss Dong’s body is still a bit weak, and she’s still coughing."

"Miss Dong seems a bit anxious these days, which is not good for her illness."

"I think Miss Dong must be anxious about something."

The glass of wine just paused there at his lips.

Yuan Shen looked at him and said confusedly, "Mr. Gu, what’s the matter? Don’t tell me you’re afraid to drink?"

Yuan Shen’s words were purely teasing. Mr. Gu’s drinking capacity was well-known to be immense, and he definitely wouldn’t be afraid of these mere three glasses of wine. However, unexpectedly, upon hearing Yuan Shen’s words, Gu Ningyi placed the glass back on the table.

Then, amidst everyone’s astonishment, he stood up, casually adjusted his lapel, and said, "I have something to do, I’ll leave first. I’ll make up these three glasses next time."
