My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 748 You Are Not Worthy of Him (8)

Dong Xin Yan made a call to Lady Wei.

That day, Lady Wei said she wanted to help her. Her suggestion was to let her go to the United States, enroll in a prestigious university, study for a few years, and earn a degree. Then follow her to learn some high-society etiquette and social interactions. When the time is ripe, she would acknowledge her as her daughter. By then, she would rightfully be a young lady from an esteemed background, a suitable match for Gu Ningyi.

Even though Dong Xin Yan had acknowledged Lady Wei, she did not aspire to be any kind of heiress. So she politely declined her final suggestion, but she agreed to her proposal of further studies.

Madam Gu was right. It wasn’t her fault not to have a distinguished family background, but she herself had nothing that could match Gu Ningyi. How could she live up to Gu Ningyi’s deep love?

At the very least, she needed to be outstanding herself, right?

If she became outstanding, she would have the capital to match him, and then others would no longer mock him or consider him a joke.

Lady Wei was exceedingly happy, her voice full of joy, "Xinyan, rest assured, Mom will arrange everything for you. It’s just two years. When you return, you won’t need to fear the eyes of others anymore. You can confidently be with Gu Ningyi, and no one will say you aren’t worthy of him."

"Mom, thank you."

"It’s just..." Lady Wei paused, a trace of worry in her voice. "Will Gu Ningyi agree?"

"I’ll speak to him properly."

-

"Mr. Gu, you have a video conference later, lunch with President Dai, and in the afternoon..." Secretary Lin read through Gu Ningyi’s schedule from the iPad.

Gu Ningyi raised his hand to signal her to stop.

Secretary Lin asked in confusion, "Mr. Gu, is there a problem?"

"Cancel all my afternoon appointments, I have something to attend to."

"Ah? Oh." Secretary Lin nodded. "Okay, I understand."

After the meal with President Dai, Gu Ningyi got into the car. He tugged at his tie, lifted his dark eyes slightly, paused, and said, "To Yansha."

The car arrived at Yansha Friendship Store, and Gu Ningyi walked straight into a high-end jewelry store.

-

After Dong Xin Yan made that decision, she had always wanted to tell Gu Ningyi, but every time when the words reached her lips, she swallowed them back down forcefully.

She and Gu Ningyi had managed to find their way back together with great difficulty, and he even wanted to marry her. If she brought up going abroad for further studies at this time, one could imagine what his reaction would be.

The clearer it became, the harder it was to speak up.

And so, a week passed. Lady Wei called, saying everything was arranged on her end and a ticket was already booked, just waiting for her to come over.

Dong Xin Yan looked at the date on the calendar and knew she couldn’t drag it out any longer.

Dong Xin Yan gently clenched her hands, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly picked up her phone to dial Gu Ningyi’s number.

The call rang twice before it was answered. The familiar male voice reached her ears, "What’s up?"

"Are you still at the office?" Dong Xin Yan lightly bit her lip.

"Hmm, missing me?" The man’s voice was low, with a slightly tender tone.

Dong Xin Yan’s heart softened, yet it was filled with a subtle pain. She sniffed, suppressing the bitter feeling in her throat, "Yes, I miss you. When will you be back?"

Dong Xin Yan’s rare openness made Gu Ningyi chuckle softly, but soon he said with a hint of trouble, "What to do? I still have another dinner later, so I’ll probably be back late."
