Chapter 257 - 256 Do You Know What This Means? (10)
Dong Xin Yan slowly walked to the desk, softly closed her eyes, then opened them, curved her lips slightly, her red lips gently parted, and softly spoke, "Um... I went shopping with Qianqian today."
Gu Ningyi did not expect Dong Xin Yan to voluntarily mention her itinerary, his eyes slightly focused, and he unintentionally noticed the paper bag she was holding, the same bag she brought back today.
Dong Xin Yan softly bit her lower lip, her voice lowered a bit, "Christmas is only a few days away, so... so I bought a gift, hoping... hoping you’ll like it."
Even though Dong Xin Yan stuttered a bit, she managed to finish her sentence.
She gently exhaled, then handed over the paper bag she was holding.
Gu Ningyi was completely caught off guard by Dong Xin Yan giving him a gift. For so many years, she had never given him a gift! Even back in school, when he had subtly hinted about wanting a gift, she remained indifferent.
A flicker of astonishment quickly passed through Gu Ningyi’s dark eyes, leaving him utterly stunned.
Dong Xin Yan maintained the motion of handing over the gift, but Gu Ningyi did not take it, nor did he have any other reaction. She pressed her lips together, her hand involuntarily becoming a bit stiff.
Given their relationship, giving a gift was indeed strange. Her sudden gift seemed abrupt, and it was obviously for a favor...
Her grip on the paper bag tightened unconsciously, as awkwardness and helplessness swiftly welled up, causing her cheeks to flush faintly red.
The surrounding atmosphere immediately became oppressive. Dong Xin Yan’s dark eyes darted around, unsure how to handle the situation. In her panic, she hurriedly added, "I... I just bought it casually."
