Chapter 236: Chapter 235: The Fisherman’s Gains (7)

Dong Xin Yan unconsciously tightened her grip on her phone, taking a light breath, and spoke softly, "Mm, hello Secretary Lin, sorry to bother you so late."

Secretary Lin paused for a few seconds, seemingly not expecting Dong Xin Yan to call her.

After realizing, she adjusted her expression, a hint of respect in her voice, "No bother, just wondering, does Miss Dong need anything?"

"Well, actually, it’s nothing urgent, I just wanted to ask, a few days ago when Gu Ningyi was on a business trip, you went with him, right?" Dong Xin Yan tried to keep her tone calm and gentle.

Secretary Lin hadn’t expected Dong Xin Yan to ask such a question, froze for a moment, though puzzled, truthfully replied, "No, I didn’t go with Mr. Gu."

"Didn’t?" Dong Xin Yan couldn’t help but express her surprise.

When a big company’s CEO goes on a business trip, don’t they usually take their secretary or assistant? How come Gu Ningyi was all by himself?

Secretary Lin seemed to understand what she was thinking, smiled, and added, "Because Mr. Gu wasn’t on a business trip a few days ago, he went to the United States to see Zhou Xiao..."

The word ’sister’ had not yet been spoken when Secretary Lin’s smiling face suddenly fell. Oh no, she had let it slip inadvertently by mentioning Zhou Yalin in front of Dong Xin Yan.

Now that Dong Xin Yan and the Boss have such a relationship, wasn’t she just making things harder for herself?

Secretary Lin furrowed her brows, wishing she could slap herself.

However, when Dong Xin Yan heard Secretary Lin’s words, she was momentarily stunned, then her dark eyes suddenly lit up.

Gu Ningyi, a few days ago, wasn’t on a business trip; he went to the United States to see his fiancée Zhou Yalin?

So, after he came back from the United States, did his sudden change in attitude towards her have something to do with Zhou Yalin?

She had heard a bit about Zhou Yalin going to the United States, told to her during some gossip with Qin Qian. Qin Qian said that Zhou Yalin had been eager to marry for years, but Gu Ningyi hadn’t shown any intention, which led to frequent quarrels. They had a big fight, and in anger, Zhou Yalin went directly to the United States and hadn’t come back since.

Not coming back all this time meant Zhou Yalin’s anger hadn’t dissipated. Gu Ningyi’s trip to the United States might have ended up in another dispute with Zhou Yalin.

Dong Xin Yan suddenly remembered that when Gu Ningyi returned, he looked very tired, his face wasn’t good, likely because he had argued with Zhou Yalin.

Gu Ningyi got snubbed by Zhou Yalin, and in frustration returned home, his attitude towards her changed drastically. Not only was he a little more gentle, but he also publicly stood up for her, reinforcing the ambiguous rumors between them.

Could it be... that he is just putting on a show for others? No, to be exact, he is putting on a show for Zhou Yalin? To provoke Zhou Yalin?

With this thought, all her doubts and confusion seemed to suddenly clear up like clouds parted to reveal a clear sky.

She thought, from childhood, Gu Ningyi had always disliked her, even despised her. Him sleeping with her was only to humiliate her, how could it possibly develop feelings?

It was all her own overthinking, scaring herself. She, an actress, had been fooled by Gu Ningyi, who isn’t even an actor.

But then again, these so-called high society people, their acting skills are innate, with each one being an Oscar-winning star.

Dong Xin Yan fell into a long silence on the other end of the phone. Secretary Lin thought she was heartbroken, feeling a chill down her spine in fright...
