It was only after Gu Qichen led her by the hand into the ballroom that Xia Yangyang reacted.

Xia Yangyang was already aware that countless eyes were falling on her.

The gazes of these noble ladies were like tiny daggers.

Xia Yangyang wanted to awkwardly pull her hand out of Gu Qichen’s, but he turned and asked: “What’s wrong?”

Xia Yangyang replied: “I don’t want to be the center of attention, you can let go of me.”

Gu Qichen slightly furrowed his brows, but still released Xia Yangyang’s hand.

Xia Yangyang said: “I’m leaving first, carry on with your business.”

Xia Yangyang felt very conflicted here. On one hand, she didn’t want to be the focus, but on the other hand, she didn’t want to see Gu Qichen flirting with other girls.

So, she chose to adopt the ‘out of sight, out of mind’ approach.

Gu Qichen asked: “Where are you going?”

Xia Yangyang replied: “It’s getting late, I’m going back to school. I have classes tomorrow.”

Gu Qichen was silent for two seconds before saying: “Wait for me, I’ll just go and say goodbye, then leave with you.”

Xia Yangyang looked up in surprise: “You can leave?”

Although today’s occasion was grandpa’s birthday feast, it was universally known to be an occasion for Gu Qichen’s matchmaking. Considering it was his show, how could he leave before the party ended?

Gu Qichen calmly said: “If my wife finds it boring, I can’t do anything. Her company is the most important.”

Xia Yangyang saw a faint smile on Gu Qichen’s lips and her heart raced.

Hearing these teasing words from Gu Qichen gave her an unusual flutter.

Gu Qichen said: “Wait here for me, I’ll be right back.”

Gu Qichen returned quickly and said to Xia Yangyang: “Follow me.”

Gu Qichen escorted Xia Yangyang down the elevator straight to the Gu Mansion’s underground garage. They drove out from a private driveway, quickly leaving the mountainous road behind, along with all the glitz and excitement of the Gu family.

Not long after Xia Yangyang got in the car, Xia Liangdong called.

Xia Yangyang simply told him that she had something going on at school and had to return early.

Once the call ended, Gu Qichen asked: “Xia Yangyang, are you hungry?”

Xia Yangyang was somewhat lost in thought, and casually replied: “Not hungry.”

Gu Qichen said: “Yangyang, I’m hungry.”

Xia Yangyang looked up, and found herself locked with Gu Qichen’s half-smiling eyes. This was a look she knew too well.

Every time Gu Qichen wanted to, you know, he always looked like this. His whole body seemed to radiate pheromones, which was especially seductive.

Xia Yangyang’s heart pounded faster and she blushed as she said: “Didn’t we just… I’m too tired today…”

Gu Qichen suddenly smirked: “Xia Yangyang, when I say I’m hungry, what are you thinking about?”

Xia Yangyang was taken aback, feeling utterly embarrassed.

Yes, what was she thinking? Gu Qichen merely stated he was hungry. Why did her mind wander to that direction?

Xia Yangyang was left amused and shocked at herself.

Gu Qichen, however, seemed to be in high spirits, chuckling as he said: “Little perv!”

“Little perv…”

Perv…

Xia Yangyang’s face turned so red it could practically bleed.

Gu Qichen then decided not to tease her anymore: “But I am really hungry. Do you have any suggestions for where to eat?”

Eager to change the topic, Xia Yangyang hastily replied: “There’s a really delicious beef noodle stall near our school. Do you want to try it?”

But after uttering these words, Xia Yangyang realized that someone like Gu Qichen, who was so particular about his food, would unlikely go to places like food streets..
