Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage - Chapter 398:
Chapter 398: Chapter 399: Particularly Annoying to Him
Upon seeing Xia Yangyang come out, Gu Qichen went over.
Xia Yangyang looked pale, like a soulless shell.
Gu Qichen asked with concern, “What has been said? You don’t look well.”
Xia Yangyang managed to muster a smile, “Ah Chen, let’s go home. I want to go home.”
Xia Liangdong came over, “Yangyang, why don’t you and Ah Chen stay for dinner? It’s rare for you to visit.”
Xia Yangyang’s voice seemed to carry a chill, “I’m not hungry, Ah Chen, let’s go.”
Gu Qichen and Xia Yangyang left together.
Xia Liangdong’s sigh could be heard from behind.
Once they left, Xia Yangyang did not utter a single word.
Gu Qichen looked at Xia Yangyang, furrowing his brow. He then grabbed her hand, “What exactly did Liu Ruyan say to make you so distraught?”
Xia Yangyang smiled, “Let’s drop this matter about Weiwei. We can let her out tomorrow.”
Gu Qichen frowned, “How can we just let her off the hook so easily?”
“After all, she’s my father’s daughter. Now, she has her reputation ruined and she will not be able to enter the entertainment business anymore. It’s punishment enough.”
Gu Qichen seemed displeased, “Did Liu Ruyan offer you some sort of compromise?”
“No, I just think this lesson is sufficient.”
Gu Qichen seemed unconvinced.
However, he didn’t have much to say as Xia Yangyang was soft-hearted.
Gu Qichen warned, “Your kind nature will eventually get you into trouble.”
Xia Yangyang managed a small smile.
“Ah Chen, is sister still in Sea City?”
Gu Mingzhu had established a clothing brand and a company in Sea City.
Xia Yangyang hadn’t seen her in a while.
Gu Qichen replied, “She’s mostly there lately. Why are you suddenly asking about her?”
Xia Yangyang spoke, “I want to see her.”
“In a few more days, it will be New Year’s Eve. At that time, your sister will definitely come back.”
Xia Yangyang nodded, “Okay.”
Subsequently, Xia Yangyang spent most of her time working on her thesis.
Due to the airing of Cinderella, she had garnered some notoriety on campus.
Unless necessary, Xia Yangyang didn’t stay on campus.
Now, Xia Yangyang spent most of her time in Gu Qichen’s office, working on her thesis and conducting her research.
Gu Qichen seemed to notice.
Xia Yangyang had become unusually clingy.
Nowadays, they spent every single hour of the day together.
Sometimes, when Gu Qichen was on a business trip, Xia Yangyang would insist on following him.
Even though Gu Qichen was elated by Xia Yangyang’s change.
However, he couldn’t help but worry amidst the joy.
Xia Yangyang was bothered.
Gu Qichen could see it.
But Xia Yangyang wasn’t willing to share.
Gu Qichen had caught her in deep thought on several occasions.
Gu Qichen was in the dark about her concerns.
After his meeting, Gu Qichen returned from the conference room back to his office.
He found Xia Yangyang standing by the floor-to-ceiling glass window, lost in thought.
Gu Qichen went over, embracing her from behind, kissing her hair, “What are you thinking about? Still unwilling to tell me?”
Xia Yangyang leaned backwards, almost fully resting into Gu Qichen’s arms. She liked the smell of Gu Qichen’s skin, clean and sharp, it was comforting. All of a sudden, Xia Yangyang spoke, “Ah Chen, I was wondering, why is the world so unpredictable? Just moments ago it was sunny and now the sky is filled with dark clouds. It seems like it’s about to rain.”
Gu Qichen looked outside.
Indeed, large, dense clouds were rolling in, changing the color of the sky, darkening the day..
