Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage - Chapter 517

Chapter 517: Picture No. 518: That woman is his only weakness

Over the years, Gu Qichen had envisioned many outcomes.

He had imagined Xia Yangyang escaping from his world, hiding somewhere.

He had also thought about whether Xia Yangyang had given birth to their child in silence, struggling to single-handedly raise the child just like in countless melodramatic TV dramas.

However, Gu Qichen never thought that she would fall in love with another man, marry him, have his child, and begin a new life of her own.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t had such thoughts.

Instead, he had been too scared to think such things, always holding on to the sliver of hope that Xia Yangyang wouldn’t forget him.

Regardless of the nature of their past relationship.

At least, the experiences they had shared were deeply ingrained in their hearts.

How can they be dismissed so easily? How can a new beginning be started without a thought?

At least he was living every day and every night submerged in a whirlpool of pain and struggle.

If only she had a sliver of conscience.

If she felt even a fraction of the pain he felt, Gu Qichen believed she wouldn’t be with another man.

However, at this moment, Gu Qichen realized how horribly wrong he had been.

That woman had no heart!!

Gu Qichen’s face was terribly gloomy.

He felt as though his world was disintegrating, falling apart.

The small faint hope that had sustained him all these years was shattered clean in an instant.

His world was devoid of sunlight, lifeless, and sunk in darkness.

Gu Qichen stood there, motionless.

Feeling an indescribable pain in his chest.

Each pulse of pain felt like a knife was being plunged into his flesh, the agony nearly unbearable.

His fingers were clenched so tightly they could almost shatter.

He could almost hear the sound of his bones cracking.

Fang Zhengdong, who was not far away, saw all this.

He felt as though the world was collapsing.

He had never seen such a terrifying look on the face of the President in his entire life.

His gaze alone was enough to snuff out life.

How could he not recognize her?

She was Xia Yangyang, the woman the President had been searching for four long years using the information network he created.

Xia Yangyang was already divorced from Gu Qichen years ago.

Remembering how the President had been during that time, Fang Zhengdong trembled with fear.

Almost everyone suffered as a result.

The President had been punishing himself ruthlessly, overworking tirelessly, and ceaselessly expanding his territory.

Mourning and lamentation filled the company as everyone was exhausted.

But who could be more worn out than the President?

One morning, he had witnessed the President coughing up blood in the washroom.

Later, at the hospital, it was revealed that it was stomach perforation caused by alcohol.

For everyone at Shengyuan, it was a truly bleak time.

However, for the President, the sudden disappearance of this woman was nearly a devastating blow.

This man, who appeared as unyielding as steel to outsiders and never hesitated in his decisions, had a single weak spot called Xia Yangyang.

All these years, he had been sustaining himself on mere hope.

Now this woman had suddenly appeared again.

Fang Zhengdong thought to himself, at least the President could finally see light at the end of the tunnel.

But unfortunately, another man also appeared by her side.

That man had an extraordinary aura, although gentle as jade, his gaze through those glasses was penetrating, clear, and sharp. Standing next to the President, he did not fade in comparison.

Compared to the President’s nearly uncontrollable cold emotions, that man was calm and warm.

Surely, this man was a formidable rival!

The two had already disappeared from the airport lobby, but the President was still standing there, motionless!

Yet, the following second, Fang Zhengdong saw Gu Qichen violently rush out!
