My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 747 You Are Not Worthy of Him (7)

"This kind of woman just loves to climb up the social ladder. Once she catches someone, she clings on and won’t let go. After all, marrying into a wealthy family is like soaring up high and transforming into a phoenix. But I never thought that our Mr. Gu, who dismisses so many women, would actually fall for such a woman."

"Haha, well, maybe he’s just looking for something fresh. Even if he does marry her, in a couple of years, they’re likely to divorce. In our circle, isn’t it common? A mismatch of social status, how can it last long?"

"Alright, alright, I won’t talk to you anymore. A An is still waiting for me outside, he’s probably getting anxious."

The woman hung up the phone, touched up her makeup in the mirror, then picked up her makeup bag, clicked her high heels, pushed open the restroom door, and left.

The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, leaving silence behind. Dong Xin Yan stood there motionless.

She didn’t know how much time had passed when suddenly the phone rang, breaking the room’s silence. Dong Xin Yan unconsciously glanced at the phone screen. It was Gu Ningyi calling.

Dong Xin Yan moved her stiff limbs, took a deep breath, her fingers trembling slightly as she pressed the answer button, "Hello."

"Are you alright? Why did it take so long?"

"No, nothing’s wrong." Dong Xin Yan’s voice was somewhat hoarse. She cleared her throat and said, "I’ll come out now."

Dong Xin Yan hung up the phone, pushed open the door, turned on the faucet. As she washed her hands, suddenly her eyes stung, and a tear fell heavily onto the back of her hand.

-

The deep night was silent, the night chill was like water.

Dong Xin Yan listened to the man’s breathing beside her become even and long, her long curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.

The sight before her was pitch black. Dong Xin Yan tried hard to open her eyes wide, wanting to see the man’s face clearly, but there was always a misty barrier between them.

She once thought that her and his future would be a smooth and bright path, but unexpectedly, they walked hand in hand to this moment, and the road ahead was still a maze.

She never felt inferior for not having money or power. Even growing up among those wealthy heirs and heiresses, she never once envied or desired their lives.

Even without money or power, she could still live well and be happy.

However, someday, these external conditions became an obstacle in her pursuit of love.

The words she heard today, the mockery, the insults, they didn’t make her sad, but the words about Gu Ningyi, each and every one struck her deeply.

She didn’t care how others viewed her, but Gu Ningyi shouldn’t have to endure such insults because of her.

His world is glamorous and splendid, yet she became the most conspicuous and unsuitable presence in it, disrupting his world and becoming a joke to others.

Who was he? He was Gu Ningyi, the ever-proud and noble Gu Ningyi. How could he become the subject of dinner-table gossip?

Indeed... she was unworthy of him, unworthy of someone so good.

Dong Xin Yan’s hand reached out slowly, lightly resting on Gu Ningyi’s face, her fingertips gently touching him. An overwhelming bitterness surged through her, and she couldn’t help but cover her mouth tightly, fearing she might cry out.

She took a deep breath, blinked her eyes, and after a long pause, she forced the bitterness down.

Her dark eyes fixed on him, as if she had made some decision, her gaze gradually becoming resolute.
