Very late before I can go back...
Just these few words made Dong Xin Yan secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Although she knew that even if he came back late, what had to be faced still had to be faced. But if he could be late for a while, then let it be late for a while.
"It's okay, I'll wait for you. Don't drink too much, okay?"
"Heh...," the man's low and pleasant laughter echoed in her ear, "As you command."
After hanging up the phone, Dong Xin Yan sat dumbfounded on the sofa for a while, then got up and walked toward the terrace.
The night breeze was slightly chill. Dong Xin Yan wore thin loungewear, and her body involuntarily shivered a bit. She wrapped her arms around herself, gently rubbing her arms, yet did not return inside.
She needed the cool breeze to keep a calm mind, to think well, and consider how to speak to Gu Ningyi when he returned.
Leaning against the railing, Dong Xin Yan gradually became entranced as she thought.
