Chapter 515: Chapter 516: Gu Qichen is her inner demon
Gu Qichen finally gave up amidst day after day of compromise and struggle.
Like an addict who has ultimately failed and completely surrendered, he fell to rock bottom.
Xia Yangyang was his poppy flower.
Stimulating his nerves day by day and destroying his willpower.
She completely obliterated his inner world.
And she just stood there, saying casually, “Long time no see.”
As if they were ordinary friends.
It’s been a long time indeed.
Four years, five months, and twenty-three days!
Gu Qichen had thought about what he would do if he saw Xia Yangyang again.
At that time, he thought he must strangle this woman.
Ask her harshly, why she was so cruel.
Why did she make him in such agony, plunging into hell, unable to rise ever again.
But at this moment, Gu Qichen suddenly realized.
It turned out he was the only one in pain, the only one suffering in hell.
All of this seemed meaningless to Xia Yangyang.
She can still smile so brilliantly.
She still lives under the sun, full of vitality, carefree and innocent.
Yet, his heart was already covered in moss.
Gu Qichen remained silent.
Just staring at Xia Yangyang.
He couldn’t casually say “long time no see”.
He couldn’t chat casually with this woman who had vanished for four years.
Xia Yangyang felt a bit awkward.
Because the look in Gu Qichen’s eyes was sharp and icy like a cold iron dagger, the sharp blade glistening with a chilling light.
To break the awkwardness, Xia Yangyang asked again, “Are you okay? You look the same as you did four years ago.”
Every word Xia Yangyang said now felt like it took a lot of courage.
Talking to Gu Qichen was too difficult.
His icy aura made her feel as if she was in a freezing cellar.
Maybe she should turn around and run.
But a stubborn streak deep in her heart stopped her from doing so.
Xia Yangyang, Gu Qichen is your inner demon!
If you are completely defeated by him the first time.
Then this man will be your shackles for life.
So, now Xia Yangyang is standing in front of Gu Qichen, trying her best to maintain a casual smile.
Every word she spoke, for her, was a battle.
But Gu Qichen still didn’t respond.
His gaze grew even colder.
Xia Yangyang merely kept a faint smile, her expression calm.
Finally, Gu Qichen spoke: “Who’s that?”
The smile on Xia Yangyang’s face finally froze.
Could it be that Gu Qichen has forgotten her?
Could four years erase her completely from his memory?
When she was coming towards Gu Qichen just now.
She thought about how he would react.
Gu Qichen was from a noble family and always had a hint of gentlemanly restraint.
Even if he was just putting on an act, Xia Yangyang thought that Gu Qichen would exchange a few pleasantries with her.
Then they would part ways, each harboring their own thoughts.
But what Xia Yangyang didn’t expect was that Gu Qichen would coldly utter: “Who’s that?”
Had he truly forgotten her?
Or was it that her past was no longer worth mentioning, and they didn’t even need to greet each other anymore?
In fact, Xia Yangyang should be happy.
Because this was the best outcome, letting go of each other, no more entanglement.
After all, she had spent so much effort avoiding him for four years.
It turned out that Gu Qichen had forgotten her long ago.
Xia Yangyang really wanted to laugh out loud.
She unintentionally burst out laughing, “Sorry, I’ve disturbed you.”
Xia Yangyang was about to turn around.
Li Zhiqian, however, comes over with the luggage: “Yangyang, is this your friend?”
