Chapter 178 - 177: Special Treatment (7)
Originally, it was just some staff members privately chatting about gossip, which wouldn’t stir up much trouble. But if the director takes it seriously and treats her specially, then she’s really jumping into the Yellow River and can’t wash herself clean.
The transaction between her and Gu Ningyi only had a little over a month left. She didn’t want others to associate her with Gu Ningyi because once the transaction was over, she and he would be two completely parallel lines!
Initially, she believed that the truth speaks for itself and didn’t need to say much, but now it seems she needs to find time to properly explain things to the director.

At six o’clock in the evening, Gu Ningyi returned to the villa punctually. As he entered and stood at the entrance, gazing at the dark and chilly room, he paused for quite a while without being able to react.
These days, he seemed used to returning home on time, and every time he walked into the villa, the lights would be on waiting for him. When changing shoes, he could always smell the aroma of food, and when he looked toward the kitchen, he could vaguely see Dong Xin Yan busy with an apron on.
However, all of this suddenly disappeared, and Gu Ningyi felt a huge emptiness in his heart.
But soon, he furrowed his brows and forced himself to suppress that feeling.
Whether Dong Xin Yan was here or not, he wouldn’t care. It was better if she wasn’t here, saving him from the constant annoyance she caused him.
Gu Ningyi absentmindedly changed his shoes, turned on the lights without even looking toward the kitchen, and went straight upstairs to the bedroom.
He took off his coat and tossed it on the bed, then loosened his tie, preparing to go to the closet to change clothes. But as soon as he passed the dressing table, he abruptly stopped.
