Chapter 160 - 159: Subtle Tenderness (5)
At the thought of this, Dong Xin Yan’s heart trembled uncontrollably, making her even more reluctant to walk over. She wondered if she could just quietly turn around and go upstairs, pretending she hadn’t seen Gu Ningyi at all?
Better to avoid it for as long as she could!
Dong Xin Yan glanced up slightly, taking another look at Gu Ningyi. Seeing that he was still engrossed in the newspaper in his hand, she held her breath, pressed her lips together, and silently began to turn around step by step. However, just as her body was halfway turned, Gu Ningyi folded the newspaper in his hand, placed it back on the coffee table, and then looked up, his gaze landing squarely on Dong Xin Yan.
Dong Xin Yan’s movements came to an abrupt halt, and she stood awkwardly frozen on the spot.
It seemed every time she was about to do something, Gu Ningyi would somehow catch her red-handed. Did he have a surveillance system installed on her?
Dong Xin Yan secretly pouted.
Since Gu Ningyi had seen her, she couldn’t go upstairs now. Dong Xin Yan stood there for a few seconds, took a light breath, and then slowly walked towards Gu Ningyi.
When she was two steps away from Gu Ningyi, she stopped, forced a slight smile, and tried her best to speak in a calm and composed voice, "Mr. Gu, good morning!"
Gu Ningyi leaned casually against the back of the chair, glanced at her indifferently, and said, "It’s not early."
Uh, it was already past ten, almost eleven, and the sun was high in the sky outside. Indeed... it wasn’t early.
Dong Xin Yan gave an awkward chuckle, at a loss for words momentarily.
