Chapter 133 - 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.
