Gu Qichen actually paused for a moment.
He didn’t expect the usually conservative Xia Yangyang would do such a thing in public.
Xia Yangyang’s face was flushed red, with a hint of shyness on her face.
After the kiss, she quickly returned to her seat, lowered her head to eat, pretending as if nothing had happened.
But Gu Qichen purposely leaned in again: “Honey, I think there’s sauce on the corner of my mouth too.”
Xia Yangyang gave him a look.
Apparently, there was a price to pay for teasing.
Xia Yangyang had no choice but to take the napkin and wipe his mouth properly.
Gu Shengyuan couldn’t stand them: “You two get a room. We have guests today.”
He said that, but he was actually quite pleased inside.
After dinner, Xia Liangdong chatted with the old man in the study.
Liu Ruyan and Gu Mingzhu were discussing the latest Chanel dresses in the living room.
Gu Qichen and Gu Zhaohan were talking in the courtyard.
Xia Weiwei took advantage of the situation and walked up to Xia Yangyang: “Xia Yangyang, were you purposely laughing at me just now?”
Xia Yangyang replied: “Don’t make guesses out of nowhere. It was Gu Qichen who served you the pot of beef brisket, not me. If you want to settle the score with someone, it should be him.”
“How could he have done that to me without your cue?”
Xia Yangyang said: “Xia Weiwei, I don’t have the energy to mess with you.”
Xia Weiwei sneered: “I bet you don’t dare. Xia Yangyang, you’re currently sitting in Mrs. Gu’s seat, but I tell you, it won’t be long before I take your spot. And when I do, I’ll return your humiliations a thousand-fold.”
“Xia Weiwei, I advise you not to do ridiculous things anymore. Gu Qichen won’t like you.”
“What a joke. Even you can be Mrs. Gu. Why wouldn’t Gu Qichen like me? What about me is inferior to you? Men are fickle by nature. Are you so confident he won’t stray?”
Xia Yangyang said: “He won’t. I trust him.”
From the moment Gu Qichen publicly defended her, Xia Yangyang chose to trust him.
Xia Weiwei laughed as if she had heard a good joke: “All crows are black under the sun. I don’t believe he can resist delectable treats delivered right to his mouth. Xia Yangyang, mark my words, Gu Qichen will fall in love with me sooner or later.”
Xia Weiwei’s fiery words posed no threat to Xia Yangyang.
For Xia Yangyang knew Gu Qichen’s ex-girlfriend was Shen Manbing.
Compared to Shen Manbing, Xia Weiwei really fell short.
Xia Yangyang didn’t want to tussle with her, and turned to enter Gu Qichen’s bedroom.
Xia Yangyang had been in this bedroom during the old man’s birthday party.
What made the deepest impression on her was the large glass window that covered one whole wall of the room.
Last time they were there…
With the memory of that wild passion bubbling up, Xia Yangyang’s face burned.
Xia Yangyang took a quick look around Gu Qichen’s bedroom.
The black, white, and gray decor, the simple layout, apart from a large bed and a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf, there was hardly any extraneous stuff.
It was very much Gu Qichen’s style.
Xia Yangyang was absent-mindedly flipping through the books on the shelf when the door opened.
Gu Qichen walked up behind Xia Yangyang, wrapped his arms around her waist, his voice gentle: “What are you looking at?”
Xia Yangyang flipped the book cover: “A Brief History of Time.”
Gu Qichen calmly took the book away: “Oh? Is it good?”
She was just flipping through the book out of boredom, really.
Gu Qichen’s breath was already on her lips, Xia Yangyang backed against the bookshelf, Gu Qichen’s arms bracketing her in, slowly tightening, their eyes met, the atmosphere was incredibly charged.
Xia Yangyang finally realized that men could be seductive too.
Like Gu Qichen right now.
Swayed by his charms, Xia Yangyang couldn’t help but kiss his lips, playfully saying: “Not as good as looking at you!”
