Xia Yangyang stared blankly at Gu Zhaohan.
She hadn’t suspected at all…
Gu Zhaohan’s expression was as usual, icy and indifferent.
He spoke of those words as if relating someone else’s story, maintaining a calm composure.
But Xia Yangyang was panicking.
Xia Yangyang no longer dared to meet Gu Zhaohan’s gaze: “Um, you…you…how could, why…?”
Xia Yangyang was somewhat incoherent.
Gu Zhaohan coolly said, “I’m only telling you this to let you know that uncle wasn’t mistaken. I don’t want any misunderstanding between the two of you due to your disbelief.”
For a moment, Xia Yangyang didn’t know what to say.
So, Gu Zhaohan was admitting to it now just to confirm that Gu Qichen was right, to avoid the conflict between them?
Xia Yangyang felt like the situation had gotten even more complicated.
Gu Zhaohan paused, his voice appearing to emanate from a distant place.
“Xia Yangyang, I’ve liked you for a long time, from the first day of college, during the military training, when you passed me a bottle of mineral water, I didn’t want to say it, but now I realise, hiding it is useless. It may even cause you to misunderstand. But right now, all I want to say is this: Xia Yangyang, I’m fond of you. It’s my issue and has nothing to do with you. Do you understand?” As soon as Gu Zhaohan finished these words, he turned around and walked off the rooftop.
Xia Yangyang watched his retreating back in shock and murmured, “I don’t quite get it.”
Xia Yangyang stood in a daze on the balcony.
The cold breeze that blew by snapped her confused mind back into coherence.
Only after she regained her senses, did Xia Yangyang realise that she had misunderstood Gu Qichen.
During that time period, Xia Yangyang always believed that Gu Qichen was spewing venomous criticism blindly. She found that man petty and ridiculous.
Xia Yangyang’s emotions were in turmoil.
After standing on the rooftop for a while, Xia Yangyang also entered the room.
Lost in her thoughts, Xia Yangyang didn’t notice someone was in front of her and she ran straight into their chest.
Xia Yangyang took a step back, and instinctively apologised.
She realised that the person she had bumped into was Shen Shichuan.
There was a faint smile on the corner of Shen Shichuan’s mouth: “Why haven’t you corrected the habit of not watching where you’re going?”
Xia Yangyang recalled that once when she had nearly been run over by a car while crossing the street, it was Shen Shichuan who pulled her back in time.
She guessed he was bringing up that matter.
Xia Yangyang was a bit embarrassed: “I will pay more attention from now on.”
As Xia Yangyang was about to walk past him, Shen Shichuan stopped her.
Xia Yangyang turned around: “What is it?”
Shen Shichuan said: “‘Cinderella’s Magical Fate’ premiere date has been set. It will be on Christmas, a month from now, do you have time to join the pre-launch PR activities?”
Xia Yangyang quickly responded: “Sure, I am available. Please send me the schedule when it’s ready.”
Even though Xia Yangyang hadn’t signed the contract, as one of the creators, this was her job.
Shen Shichuan continued, “Let’s have lunch together tomorrow so we can discuss the work arrangements in detail.”
Xia Yangyang agreed without hesitation.
“By the way, have you seen Ah Chen?”
Shen Shichuan said: “He’s probably in the break room. I think Sister Mingzhu got hurt, and Ah Chen went to see her.”
When Xia Yangyang learned about Mingzhu’s injury, she didn’t know what had happened. She hurriedly said, “I’ll go check on her as well.”
