Chapter 180 - 179: Special Treatment (9)
"Mr. Gu, I read the script today. I have quite a few scenes coming up, so I’ll be busy for a while. During this time, I’ll need to stay here for filming, so..."
Before Dong Xin Yan could finish, Gu Ningyi already replied directly with a simple word, "Okay."
The words were already at the tip of Dong Xin Yan’s tongue but were swallowed back by Gu Ningyi’s "okay."
She paused for a few seconds, blinked her big eyes, and wondered if she heard it wrong. Did Gu Ningyi really agree so easily?
A flash of delight appeared in her eyes, and she couldn’t help but smile. Yet, she still found it hard to believe, worrying that Gu Ningyi might have misunderstood her meaning. She carefully asked for confirmation again, "Mr. Gu, I mean, I won’t be going back to the villa during this time. Is that really okay?"
Listening to the soft voice over the phone from Dong Xin Yan, even though it was suppressed, her joyful emotions still couldn’t be concealed. The light in his eyes grew darker, and his gaze deepened.
He pressed his lips together and replied in a flat, unemotional voice, "Yes."
After a pause, he added, "Aren’t you busy?"
Knowing Gu Ningyi for so long, this was truly the first time she had seen such an understanding side of him. Excitement and joy surged all at once, so much so that she overlooked the sarcastic tone in Gu Ningyi’s last words.
She smiled happily, her eyes filled with laughter, and said sincerely in a softened voice, "Mr. Gu, thank you for your understanding, really, thank you very much."
