Xia Yangyang was taken aback, for a moment she thought she was hallucinating.
Gu Qichen also caught sight of Xia Yangyang and was slightly stunned as well.
Surprised, Xia Yangyang asked, “What are you doing here?”
Gu Qichen’s expression had already returned to normal. He walked in leisurely and closed the door behind him.
With a casual air, he said, “This is my room.”
Only then did Xia Yangyang realize, she had unexpectedly been led by Gu Zhaohan to seek refuge in Gu Qichen’s room.
Seeing Gu Qichen walk towards her, Xia Yangyang suddenly felt a bit awkward.
Gu Qichen took off his coat, revealing a white shirt underneath, and he looked remarkably handsome in it.
Gu Qichen asked, “But what about you? Why are you here?”
For some reason, Xia Yangyang felt a sudden surge of inexplicable anger.
Xia Yangyang replied, “I’m here to attend your, President Gu’s, blind date banquet. The heiresses of Feng City are up for grabs like a bunch of cabbages and radishes, it’s quite an eye-opener.”
Finally, Xia Yangyang gave a dissatisfied huff.
Gu Qichen corner of his mouth curled up into a smile, he lightly pinched Xia Yangyang’s puffed up cheek, “Little one, are you jealous?”
Xia Yangyang denied, “Who’s jealous? I’m not jealous.”
Gu Qichen suddenly turned serious, “It’s you who won’t publicly acknowledge our relationship. In that case, come down with me now, I’ll formally introduce you to my father and sister. Your father is here too, we can tell them now that we’ve already gotten our marriage license and you’re my wife, Gu Qichen. This will save them the trouble of constantly setting up these messy blind date banquets for me.”
Having said that, he took Xia Yangyang’s hand and was about to walk out.
This time, it was Xia Yangyang’s turn to be timid.
Xia Yangyang put her foot down, “No, I’m not ready yet and also, this occasion today, it’s not appropriate.”
Xia Yangyang was dressed very casually today, just now she had climbed over a wall to enter the place and was pounced on by a Golden Retriever in the garden leaving her covered in mud. She was in quite a messy state now, how could she possibly make an appearance in front of the elders of the Gu family and in front of all the major families in this state?
Gu Qichen turned around, with an innocent face he said, “See, I’ve been waiting for you to be ready all this while. I’ve been so accommodating to you, you have to compensate me for it, right?”
Xia Yangyang felt that something was off, yet she was still dazedly led on by Gu Qichen’s words, “How do you want me to compensate you?”
Gu Qichen immediately came closer, directly pushing her against the French windows behind her, showering her with countless enthusiastic kisses, “Missed me the three days we didn’t see each other?”
Xia Yangyang, dizzy from the kisses, managed to keep a shred of her senses, “No, what if someone knocks on the door later?”
She was still worried that Gu Zhaohan might pop in.
Gu Qichen continued kissing her, murmuring in a low voice, “The door is locked, and the soundproofing here is excellent.”
“The windows are transparent, someone might see us…”
“It’s one-way glass, you can see out, but they can’t see in.”
Even though she knew they couldn’t see in from outside, Xia Yangyang could still see all the people in the living hall with her peripheral vision.
It felt as if they were doing this under the scrutiny of countless eyes…
Unable to bear it mentally, Xia Yangyang still pleaded, “No…”
Not wanting to force her, Gu Qichen eventually let go and led her to the dressing room.
He then took out a cherry-colored Qipao dress.
Xia Yangyang found it very beautiful, “Is this for me?”
“Apart from Mrs.. Gu, who else in my room could these clothes be for?”
