Chapter 107 - 106: Do Not Pry into My Affairs (28)
Dong Xin Yan didn’t know why, out of nowhere, Gu Ningyi suddenly got angry. His demeanor was truly terrifying, so terrifying that cold sweat gradually seeped out from her spine.
He just looked at her without speaking, but his menacing aura grew stronger and stronger. Fear churned inside her, and Dong Xin Yan began to tremble slightly, even gradually finding it difficult to breathe.
Her jaw hurt, but she could only ignore it and forced a slight smile, trying to speak in a calm voice, "Wha... what happened?"
Even though she tried to control it, Dong Xin Yan’s voice still carried an undeniable tremor and fear.
The anger in her heart rolled and boiled, driving Gu Ningyi to do something, to vent those inexplicable, strange, and troubling emotions. But seeing Dong Xin Yan’s frightened eyes and hearing her fearful voice, she reverted to her previous self, as if the Dong Xin Yan who was cheerful, smiling, and speaking in a light tone earlier was just his hallucination.
As she was now, he found her extremely displeasing to the eye.
His hand gripping her chin unconsciously exerted force, causing Dong Xin Yan to break out in a cold sweat from the pain. Her face, already somewhat pale, turned even whiter under the light, almost translucent.
Perhaps due to fear and tension, Dong Xin Yan suddenly started coughing heavily. The unnatural flush on her pale cheeks made her entire delicate face crumple in discomfort.
Gu Ningyi looked at her, his hand recoiling as if it had been burnt, suddenly letting go.
Dong Xin Yan coughed for quite a while before she gradually stopped. As soon as the coughing subsided, the whole villa became silent, with only her still uneven breathing audible.
