Chapter 266 - 265: I Already Have a Fiancé (5)
Before he said these words, Dong Xin Yan hadn’t noticed that when Gu Ningyi called her, he no longer used her full name, but directly called her Xinyan.
This way of addressing her instantly felt like it had closed the distance between them.
She never would have thought that a gift could utterly shatter all of Gu Ningyi’s previous hostility towards her, transforming it into such amiability, gentleness, and thoughtfulness.
Life is indeed full of unexpected events.
However, easing the relationship with Gu Ningyi, or even becoming friends, isn’t a bad thing for her. Better than being enemies, isn’t it?
But, calling Gu Ningyi by his name... it was okay with his full name, but just Ning Yi? That... she found herself unable to say it.
After hesitating for quite some time, Dong Xin Yan slowly opened her mouth and clumsily squeezed out those two words, "Ning... Ning Yi?"
Even though the voice in her ear was very awkward and unnatural, Gu Ningyi’s lips couldn’t help but curl up, his entire face suddenly softened, his eyes full of a smile.
He responded with a soft hum, his tone slightly drawn out, carrying a hint of tenderness.
Shouting it felt terribly awkward for Dong Xin Yan, and not knowing what else to say, she quickly added, "Then I won’t disturb you any longer. You should go back to your meeting, I’ll hang up now."
"Alright."
Gu Ningyi didn’t stop her, responding lightly, then the click of the phone call ending sounded in his ear. His hand remained still, phone pressed to his ear, as though savoring Dong Xin Yan’s utterance of Ning Yi.
