My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 13 Still Unaware of One’s Own Identity (3)

Gu Ningyi smiled, but Dong Xin Yan felt a chill run down her spine. How could she have forgotten about these ancestor's various insidious methods?

Now she really wished time could go back to six in the afternoon when she received his call, promising to come immediately, appearing here right on time.

But regret was useless now, the most important thing at the moment was to first extinguish Gu Ningyi's anger.

Unconsciously, Dong Xin Yan swallowed, hurriedly dispelled all her anger, forced out a smile, quickly deliberated in her mind, and then spoke in a low voice, "Um... I, I didn't break the appointment, as soon as I got your call, I came. It's just... I was filming outside the city today, it takes time to get back, and there was a huge traffic jam today, especially, especially congested, so it delayed a bit of time, so I was just a little late. But I assure you, I really hurried back as soon as possible."

As soon as Dong Xin Yan's words fell, her chin was suddenly pinched, and in the next second, her face was forced to lift, directly meeting Gu Ningyi's eyes.

His dark eyes burned, lazily sizing up her face, and he spoke with interest, "Dong Xin Yan, how long have you been in the entertainment circle?"

Dong Xin Yan was racking her brains trying to find an excuse to cover her lie, but unexpectedly Gu Ningyi asked this question. She didn't know why he was curious about it, but answered honestly, "Three years."

Gu Ningyi nodded and then said, "With your lousy acting skills, no wonder you've been in the entertainment circle for three years and are still just an unknown third-tier little celebrity."

"..."

Gu Ningyi's mouth, she really wished she could cut it with scissors, every word he spoke was infuriating.

No matter how angry she was inside, the expression on Dong Xin Yan's face was extremely innocent. She opened her big eyes, blinked twice, and said with a bit of grievance, "What I said is true."

"Is it?"

Dong Xin Yan thought, now it's nearly twelve, a two-hour delay since ten, she could just account those two hours into the traffic jam. Traffic jams are common in City L, a few hours' delay is possible, she could just say it was traffic, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Dong Xin Yan nodded seriously, "Yes."

Gu Ningyi sneered softly, he didn't say anything, just released his hand, then walked a few steps forward, picked up the remote, and turned on the TV.

Dong Xin Yan was baffled, followed to look at it.

On the TV screen appeared small scenes, and those scenes looked somewhat familiar, these... these were exactly the roads she had just driven from outside the city to Dynasty, how...

Oh no...

Is there anything more embarrassing than having a lie exposed on the spot?

Dong Xin Yan really had no face to weave another lie, she hung her head, hands unknowingly twisting the hem of her clothes, feeling extremely regretful.

She originally wanted to put out Gu Ningyi's fire, but now it seems she just added fuel to it.

What to do? What to do?

Dong Xin Yan didn't know at the moment what to do, hurriedly continued explaining, "Well... okay, I lied, but... when you called, I was filming, that shoot was really important to me...."

Unfortunately, Gu Ningyi was not interested in listening to her explanation, his dark eyes fixed coldly on her, the tone of his voice lost its lazy drawl, now carrying a sharp edge, "Dong Xin Yan, it seems you still haven't recognized your own identity."
