Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage - Chapter 513
Chapter 513: Chapter 514: Four Years Later, He and She Meet at the Airport
During dinner, Li Zhiqian asked, “Where will you be staying when you go back this time? Do you need me to help you find a place?”
Xia Yangyang smiled, “No need, don’t forget, I am returning to Feng City this time, I still have a home there.”
The old Xia Family residence was retained by Xia Yangyang all those years ago.
Yet, given Xia Yangyang’s abrupt disappearance back in the day, who knows what the current state of the old Xia Family residence may be.
Her return home this time is indeed for two matters.
The first task is to locate Ma Jianguo, who just got out of jail.
The second matter is to try and persuade her grandmother to move to the United States with her.
For Xia Yangyang, her grandmother is the relative she is most concerned about in this world.
All these years that Xia Yangyang has been residing in the United States, her grandmother has continued to live in the countryside.
However, Master Gao still sends someone to check on her grandmother every month, and to bring her news about Xia Yangyang.
For her grandmother, Xia Yangyang has always been feeling guilty.
She has constantly been persuading her grandmother to go to the United States with her.
However, her grandmother has steadfastly refused.
Previously, her grandmother had always been in good health.
But not too long ago, word came that her grandmother had taken a tumble in the fields, though it was only some minor external injuries.
Yet, it has finally made Xia Yangyang realize something.
Her grandmother is getting old.
She needs someone to take care of her.
This time, no matter what, she was determined to persuade her grandmother to live with her.
The plane was scheduled for nine o’clock, New York time.
The dozen or so hours of travel were absolutely draining.
When they arrived at Feng City International Airport, it was just midday local time.
After they disembarked the plane, Li Zhiqian said to Xia Yangyang, “I’ll go get the luggage, you just wait for me in the terminal.”
Xia Yangyang nodded.
Xia Yangyang certainly didn’t expect to run into Gu Qichen at the airport.
It was as if fate was playing a colossal joke on her.
As Xia Yangyang was turning around, that man was looking straight at her.
He stood perfectly still over there, not too close yet not too far away, like a statue.
They made eye contact, as if from a distance of four years, looking at each other through a temporal divide.
Xia Yangyang couldn’t really describe how she felt at that moment.
In this enormous world, humans are like ants.
And yet, in less than half a month’s time, Xia Yangyang had surprisingly run into this man twice.
Lost in this greater narrative, Xia Yangyang felt as though she had lost all control.
It appeared that fate had intended them to meet again after four years.
And this time, Xia Yangyang had no luck — she couldn’t avoid Gu Qichen’s gaze.
Time seemed to come to a complete standstill.
People milled around, but Xia Yangyang didn’t feel the passage of time at all.
The two of them stood as though at the opposite ends of time.
It felt as if it were merely an illusion.
Gu Qichen hadn’t expected that after looking for her for so long and scouring that path countless times, he’s finally see that familiar face at the airport on his way back home.
And this time, Gu Qichen saw it clearly as day.
If this woman isn’t Xia Yangyang, then who is she?
Though her skin was tanned, her hair short, and she appeared to have slimmed down significantly.
However, Gu Qichen recognized her immediately; that woman was Xia Yangyang.
She stood there, looking nonchalantly at her phone.
She was actually back in the country!
Gu Qichen felt his numb heart begin to throb painfully.
It felt as if the tip of his heart was trembling.
His world was suddenly caught in a storm.
The howling wind seemed to want to annihilate everything.
Despite the major upheaval he was experiencing internally,
Gu Qichen’s face remained expressionless.
Apart from his increasingly deep eyes, his expression remained unaltered.
Compared to Xia Yangyang’s undisguised surprise on her face, Gu Qichen was more like looking at a stranger.
