When Gu Ningyi returned, it was still midday, the sunlight bright and splendid, and now the sun had set over the western hills, nightfall descended, and Dong Xin Yan was only just arriving late.
Nearly an entire afternoon, had she been at the detention center, accompanying Cheng Ziyang?
Gu Ningyi slowly lifted his eyelids, his dark eyes slightly moving, fixedly staring at Dong Xin Yan, his thin lips lightly parting, his voice low with a hint of heaviness, not answering but asking in return, "Where have you been?"
The tone made Dong Xin Yan's heart tremble slightly, but she was mentally prepared, remaining relatively calm, slightly pressing her lips together, then softly said, "I planned to treat you to dinner today to thank you, so I went down to the supermarket at the foot of the hill to buy some ingredients."
As Dong Xin Yan spoke, she slightly gestured to the bag in her hand, indicating her sincerity.
