Chapter 536: Chapter 537: You Owe Me a Child!
Xia Yangyang avoided Gu Qichen’s gaze. “Mr. Gu, I didn’t come to beg or be threatened by you today. There is actually no grudge between us. I don’t want to involve you in the hatred for Gu Mingzhu. It’s between her and me. If you still have a bit of thought for our past relationship, just tell me where my grandmother is. Can’t we just be like strangers without dragging unnecessary hostility into it?”
Gu Qichen looked at the woman in front of him, feeling a mixture of absurdity and heartache.
She suggested so casually, “Can’t we just be like strangers?”
If they could just be strangers, he wouldn’t be in so much pain.
He wouldn’t feel as if his heart was being gouged out every single day and night. To think of her name, to see her face on the screen, it was all so gut-wrenching, every part of him felt as though it was being burned by flames.
This woman would never know what he had gone through all these years.
Over the last four years, he had been living every moment in hell.
And now she was saying to him so lightly, “All of my affairs have nothing to do with you. We are just strangers!”
Gu Qichen laughed, “Sure, Xia Yangyang, I think your suggestion is excellent. Being strangers with you is exactly what I want.”
Xia Yangyang was slightly taken aback to hear him say these words.
Ever since she saw him, Gu Qichen’s emotions had been intense.
His pent-up hatred seemed to boil over in the last moments.
How could a person like Gu Qichen easily let go of everything?
Xia Yangyang felt there was a trap coming.
Sure enough, in the next second, Gu Qichen coldly said, “Xia Yangyang, repay what you owe me first, then we can be strangers, I promise I will not bother you for the rest of your life.”
Xia Yangyang looked up into Gu Qichen’s eyes, “What do I owe you?”
Gu Qichen enunciated every word, “You owe me a child!”
When it came to the child, Gu Qichen felt a sudden heart-wrenching pain.
He could never forgive Xia Yangyang. Never in his life.
Xia Yangyang hesitated, “Gu Qichen, I think it’s impossible for us to communicate anymore.”
When Gu Qichen mentioned the child, Xia Yangyang felt guilty.
The thought of Gu Qichen possibly taking Xia Ye away filled her heart with indescribable fear.
She couldn’t afford to have more entanglements with Gu Qichen.
Xia Yangyang spoke coldly, “It looks like I shouldn’t have come today. I don’t have anything more to say. I will find my grandmother on my own. Gu Qichen, if you’re still a man, do things upright. Don’t do these disgraceful things in the dark that just make me look down on you.”
After saying this, Xia Yangyang turned around coldly and walked out of the room.
Gu Qichen stood, not chasing after her.
Once Xia Yangyang was gone, an unprecedented exhaustion flooded over him.
He had never felt so tired.
Even during the painful years, there seemed to be something that have kept him going.
That glimmer of hope that one day Xia Yangyang would show up in front of him.
The hope that their child might still be in this world.
It should never have ended up …
Once Xia Yangyang appeared, every hope he had was crushed, including that faint hope that had lasted for four years.
Gu Qichen felt exhausted to the extreme. His world had completely collapsed, and he didn’t know how he could go on…
