My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 732 Let’s Cooperate (4)

After more than ten hours, the plane arrived in L City.

Dong Xin Yan was gently awakened by Gu Ningrou. She groggily opened her eyes, full of drowsiness, "Have we arrived?"

"Yes, we’ve arrived. Get up now."

Gu Ningyi straightened Dong Xin Yan’s body, then took the coat handed over by the flight attendant and put it on her. He then wrapped his arm around her slender waist and led her outside.

The sunlight in L City was not as brilliant as in the United States, and the weather was even a bit overcast, but as soon as she set foot on the ground of L City, Dong Xin Yan’s heart felt instantly at ease.

After half a year, she had finally returned to L City, her hometown, and fortunately, she had found her sweetheart and brought him back with her.

Dong Xin Yan couldn’t help but close her eyes, taking a deep breath, inhaling the fresh air of L City. She curved her lips and opened them, her voice filled with laughter, "Gu Ningyi, we are back."

"Yes, we are back," Gu Ningyi responded, repeating her words. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

When he left initially, he thought perhaps he would never set foot in this place of heartbreak again, never expecting that he would be able to return.

Gu Ningyi gazed at the smile on Dong Xin Yan’s lips, and he couldn’t help but let his lips curl up as well.

They hadn’t informed anyone else about their return to the country, only Secretary Lin.

Pushing their luggage, they emerged from the airport, spotting Secretary Lin standing at the exit expectantly from a distance.

They walked closer slowly, their figures gradually imprinting in Secretary Lin’s eyes. Her eyes quickly turned red, and she ran forward in a few strides, stopping in front of them. She looked at Dong Xin Yan, then turned her gaze to Gu Ningyi, staring at him intently, tears suddenly welled up and spilled from her eyes.

She spoke in a hoarse voice, laden with sobs, "Mr. Gu, can I hug you?"

Gu Ningyi pursed his lips, glancing sideways at Dong Xin Yan.

Dong Xin Yan furrowed her brows, hesitating for a few seconds, then bit her lower lip, "Ten seconds, only a ten-second hug!"

With permission given, Secretary Lin opened her arms and hugged the tall man in front of her with force, her tears flowing even more freely, yet the corners of her lips lifted strongly, "Thank you for coming back safely, Cousin Yi."

Cousin?

Dong Xin Yan intended to turn away and pretend she didn’t see it, but she was stunned by those two words.

Gu Ningyi curved his lips slightly, reaching out to hug Secretary Lin back, and then gently pushed her away.

The timing was just right, precisely ten seconds.

Dong Xin Yan was dazed for a full minute before she snapped back to herself, looking at Gu Ningyi and then at Secretary Lin, she dumbly asked, "You two are... cousins?"

Weren’t they just in a simple employer-employee relationship?

"Yes, we’re cousins," Gu Ningyi’s slightly husky voice lazily resonated in Dong Xin Yan’s ear, carrying a hint of teasing, "Xinyan, I didn’t expect your jealousy to extend so far that you’d even be jealous of a cousin~"

Dong Xin Yan’s cheeks flushed red instantly, "You... I..."

How was she supposed to know that Secretary Lin was his cousin? If she had known, she wouldn’t have been so conflicted! He dared to ridicule her!

Furious and embarrassed, Dong Xin Yan clenched her fist and smacked Gu Ningyi hard, scolding, "You deliberately misled me, you schemer!"

"Yes, I’m a schemer, and you’re a vinegar jar."

"...Gu Ningyi, you can sleep on the floor tonight!"

After the long and tiring journey, they returned to the villa at Nahai Blue Bay, freshened up a bit, and fell asleep in each other’s arms.

It was unclear how much time had passed when Dong Xin Yan vaguely heard Gu Ningyi’s voice, seemingly talking on the phone.
