Chapter 106: Chapter 107: So what is he, Gu Qichen? A wild man who can’t face the light?

A photo was released in the news.
It was taken by a passerby when they were in the hospital and posted online.
In the photo, Chen Yu was holding her, his face filled with urgency and worry.
She, on the other hand, appeared to be asleep.
The news was full of speculative stories. Her identity was revealed and she was given the label “Princess of Starlight”.
Chen Yu was a star under Starlight, so dating Starlight’s princess seemed perfectly reasonable.
So when the news came out, no one doubted its authenticity.
Rather, it was Chen Yu’s fans who couldn’t accept this fact. There was much crying and outcry, and countless forums practically exploded.
The topic was trending, and the cries of the fans were heard everywhere.
Xia Yangyang sighed after reading the news.
This was really a big deal now.
Just as she turned off the TV, she saw Gu Qichen standing behind her, his gaze fixed on the television.
Xia Yangyang jumped in surprise, “When did you come? I didn’t hear a sound.”
Gu Qichen’s voice was indifferent, “Just when the news was saying that you two were secretly living together, inseparable.”
This man must be doing this on purpose—knowing that the news was false, yet still intentionally jabbing her.
Xia Yangyang pouted, looking at the time on the wall: nine in the morning.
Xia Yangyang asked, “Don’t you have work today?”
She knew how busy he was; for as long as Xia Yangyang could remember, Gu Qichen had never taken a day off.
Gu Qichen did not answer Xia Yangyang’s question but only said, “Come over for breakfast.”
Only then did Xia Yangyang notice that Gu Qichen was holding a food box.
The box was made of wood, it looked very classy, unlike the typical takeaway box.
Xia Yangyang looked somewhat pleasantly surprised, “Did you make this yourself?”
Gu Qichen snorted coldly: “I bought it.”
It was her favorite chicken porridge.
After taking a bite, Xia Yangyang exaggeratedly said, “Did you apprentice with the chef from this restaurant? The taste is exactly the same.”
Seeing the hint of a sly smile on the corner of Xia Yangyang’s mouth, Gu Qichen replied calmly, “Xia Yangyang, are you asking to be punished?”
Xia Yangyang continued to eat her porridge, feeling strangely happy in her heart.
Obviously, he made it himself but would not admit it.
Xia Yangyang ate a lot, but Gu Qichen didn’t touch his chopsticks.
When Xia Yangyang looked up, she found Gu Qichen’s gaze was fixed on her face.
Gu Qichen’s gaze seemed deep and intense; coupled with his exceptionally handsome face, few women could stand his gaze.
Xia Yangyang felt a bit uncomfortable under his gaze, “Why aren’t you eating?”
Gu Qichen suddenly spoke, “Wife, let’s go public.”
Xia Yangyang choked on the porridge she had just swallowed.
Gu Qichen had never called her wife so affectionately before. He had occasionally used the term in the past, but it was usually said in a joking or flirtatious tone.
In their marriage, Xia Yangyang had always felt there was an imbalance in their status.
At the very least, there was a seven-year age difference, and, of course, there was also the disparity of life experience.
Gu Qichen had long since climbed to the pinnacle of the pyramid, looking down at the common people. Xia Yangyang was, after all, one of those many people.
Most of the time in front of Gu Qichen, Xia Yangyang felt like a junior, a child, a subordinate, or even… a pet.
So the sudden term of endearment from Gu Qichen left Xia Yangyang incapable of responding.
Xia Yangyang kept coughing; tears from the choking even sprung to her eyes.
Gu Qichen, with a dark face, patted Xia Yangyang’s back to help her catch her breath.
All he had done is test the waters about going public, and this was her reaction.
So what was he in her heart? A wild man whom she couldn’t show off to the world?
This was the first time Gu Qichen felt both angry and defeated..
