CHAPTER 247: CHAPTER 246: THE TEST OF LOVE (10)

Gu Ningyi’s hand slowly lifted, Dong Xin Yan was about to hand him the milk, but he didn’t take it. Instead, he grabbed her slender wrist, and with a slight force, she was pulled forward, directly falling into Gu Ningyi’s arms.

The milk in her hand was not held steadily, and the cup fell onto the carpet, with the white liquid pouring out completely, soaking the mat.

Dong Xin Yan widened her eyes in astonishment, reflexively trying to push Gu Ningyi away, but it was as if he anticipated it. His arm quickly wrapped around her waist, tightly confining her in front of him.

Unable to push him away, and not daring to forcefully push him, Dong Xin Yan had to place her hands against Gu Ningyi’s chest, pulling back slightly to create some distance. She lifted her face slightly and said in a low voice, "Mr. Gu, is something wrong?"

Gu Ningyi lowered his gaze, his black eyes like ink, deep and profound, yet inside there were faint ripples, as if light waves were swirling.

He looked at her steadily, at her eyes, nose, lips, every bit and inch of her that he once hated the most, but now, it was what he loved the most, what was most unforgettable.

No one expected that one day, he would fall in love with the most improbable person in his life.

Gu Ningyi’s hand slowly lifted, gently touching Dong Xin Yan’s face. His strength was very light, very gentle, afraid that a little more force would hurt her.

He had caused her so much hurt in the past; from now on, he didn’t want to hurt her at all. He would treat her well, make it up to her, and love her deeply.

But... would she be willing to forgive the childish, ignorant, self-deceiving person he once was?

Gu Ningyi’s hand moved towards Dong Xin Yan’s lips, gently rubbing with his fingertips, filled with affection and tenderness. He half-closed his eyes, his thin lips slowly parting, his voice carrying a slightly hoarse magnetic quality, saying word by word, "If... if from now on, I treat you well, very, very well, can you forgive me?"

When Gu Ningyi stroked her cheek, Dong Xin Yan couldn’t help but feel a shiver run through her body because his touch was so gentle, so tender, and his eyes looked at her like a deeply devoted lover, making her scalp tingle.

She wanted to ask if Gu Ningyi had taken some medicine when he suddenly said this sentence.

Dong Xin Yan was stunned for a moment, her black and white eyes flashed a trace of surprise and confusion.

What was Gu Ningyi talking about?

What does it mean when he says from now on, I will treat you well, can you forgive me?

What does it mean?

Dong Xin Yan couldn’t help but raise her eyes to look at Gu Ningyi, he was looking at her, his gaze still so deep and tender, but also with a hint of nervousness and unease, and... that subtle anticipation.

Dong Xin Yan didn’t expect that Gu Ningyi would also have moments of unease.

In her ear, she couldn’t help but recall Gu Ningyi’s words just now — if... if from now on, I treat you well, very, very well, can you forgive me?

He was actually pleading for forgiveness.

Pleading to whom?

Zhou Yalin?

Indeed, who else but Zhou Yalin could make the dignified Mr. Gu beg for forgiveness in such a humble way?

Gu Ningyi loved Zhou Yalin more than she imagined.

It’s just a pity, he’s got the wrong person now.

Dong Xin Yan blinked her black eyes, coughed lightly, and was about to say she wasn’t Zhou Yalin, but her gaze unintentionally met his eyes.
