Chapter 769: Chapter 770: No Longer the Young Girl Who Couldn’t Even Call Her Husband
However, there were many things that Xia Yangyang didn’t want Gu Qichen to interfere with.
If he had to resolve all the issues she met in life, socio-emotional problems included, she wouldn’t make any real friends or be able to sharpen her mental and professional abilities.
Xia Yangyang had initially planned to resolve everything on her own.
Gu Qichen’s warm breath had already drifted to her lips.
Just as Gu Qichen was about to kiss her, Xia Yangyang suddenly cupped his face.
Xia Yangyang confidently spoke up, “Ah Chen, I know you have the ability to make anything happen, but this is my life you know? The people in my life, good or bad, I want to deal with them myself. If I really can’t handle it, I will ask for your help. So promise me, don’t act anymore, okay? I’m no longer a child, I don’t want to live under your wing forever. I don’t want my identity to be just ‘Gu Qichen’s wife’ when someone introduces me. Do you understand?”
Of course, Gu Qichen understood.
A strong spirit had always resided deep within Xia Yangyang’s marrow.
She wanted her own career, her own life, and had never wanted to be someone who simply clung to a big tree.
Despite appearing thin and frail, she was brimming with tremendous inner strength.
She wasn’t a canary in a cage but a seagull that could soar over the vast sea.
Gu Qichen couldn’t bear to keep her caged.
Yet, whenever she flew out and encountered difficulties, he couldn’t help but intervene.
Over these four years, Xia Yangyang had truly grown a lot.
Taking this very issue for instance.
If this had happened four years ago and he had not warned her but intruded her life, she would definitely have been furious.
But now, she could communicate with him calmly.
Gu Qichen broke the silence, “Call me ‘husband’, and I’ll agree.”
Familiar words from four years ago, the same tone, the same request.
Xia Yangyang remembered back then, she and Gu Qichen were secretly married.
Although they were married, she couldn’t treat Gu Qichen like normal couples would.
Not to mention, calling him ‘husband’.
So Gu Qichen loved teasing her.
Whenever she would ask him for help, he’d say, “Call me ‘husband’, and I’ll help you.”
Xia Yangyang remembered how she couldn’t bring herself to say it, no matter what.
Xia Yangyang’s voice was crystal clear, a wide smile on her face as she didn’t hesitate to say it.
Gu Qichen seemed slightly taken aback.
Xia Yangyang reached out to pinch Gu Qichen’s face, “Do you think I’m still the girl from four years ago who couldn’t even say ‘husband’? I’ve long since morphed into otherworldly Daji, a matchless enchantress, okay?”
Gu Qichen’s face displayed his displeasure, “How did you ‘morph’, and with whom?”
He then responded with a punitive kiss.
It took a while before Xia Yangyang pushed Gu Qichen away. “Okay, President Gu, we’ve discussed the plan enough, we should leave now.”
Gu Qichen, clearly not having had enough, said, “We need to have an in-depth discussion about this when we get back. I just so happen to have a few options here, you can choose the one you like the most.”
Xia Yangyang’s face turned beet red in an instant.
She knew full well that the ‘options’ Gu Qichen was talking about weren’t actual marketing plans.
Both of them went downstairs together.
Driver Lao Zheng had already been waiting at the building entrance.
Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen climbed into the back seat of the car together and left.
All of this was seen by Lin Yuanyuan.
Lin Yuanyuan’s car was parked in the outdoor parking lot outside.
She had waited on purpose for half an hour.
She hadn’t expected that Xia Yangyang would actually get into Gu Qichen’s car.
