Chapter 563: Chapter 564: Xia Yangyang actually called him darling
Most people had gradually left.
Gu Qichen was the last one to leave.
At the hotel entrance.
The valet had brought Gu Qichen’s car around.
Xia Weiwei, in her evening gown, was out in the cold to bid Gu Qichen farewell.
Xia Weiwei looked reluctant, “Are you going back to Feng City? Can’t you stay here for a few days? It’s already quite late.”
However, Gu Qichen’s gaze fell on Xia Yangyang standing beside him.
His voice was extraordinarily composed, “I’ll be staying in Beijing for the next few days.”
Xia Weiwei was overjoyed, “Really? That’s great. I’ll come see you tomorrow.”
Gu Qichen replied, “No need, I have work. When I have time, I’ll come to see you.”
Xia Weiwei was a bit disappointed but, at the same time, delighted.
For the past four years, it seemed like Gu Qichen had never taken the initiative to see her.
With her head down, Xia Weiwei spoke softly, “Brother Gu, I feel really happy today. Thank you. I will wait for you. No matter when, I will always wait for you.”
Xia Yangyang couldn’t bear to listen to their lovey-dovey conversation any longer.
To Xia Yangyang, this was highly ironic.
Four years ago, Gu Qichen was intent on sending Xia Weiwei to jail just to stand up for her.
Especially seeing Xia Weiwei, carrying a face similar to hers, mimicking her every move around Gu Qichen, Xia Yangyang felt disgusted.
Just then, the phone in her bag started vibrating.
Xia Yangyang took out her phone to answer the call.
It was Xia Ye who had called.
Actually, Xia Ye was also in Beijing, living with his godfather.
However, Xia Yangyang couldn’t visit him.
Her whereabouts were already known to Gu Qichen and he’d surely be surveilling her every move closely due to his nature.
So, she couldn’t meet Xia Ye.
Xia Yangyang went to the edge of the parking lot to take the call.
Xia Ye seemed to have just woken up from sleep and his voice was unusually groggy, “Mom, what are you doing?”
“I just finished attending a birthday banquet.”
“Have you had dinner yet?”
“I ate a little bit of cake.”
“Remember to have some porridge when you get home, your stomach isn’t good.”
Xia Yangyang and Xia Ye engaged in a conversation over the phone.
In front of her, her son always acted like a little adult.
Even though he was just four years old, Xia Yangyang sometimes felt that he took care of her more than she did him.
After a bit of conversation, Xia Yangyang saw Gu Qichen walking towards her.
Xia Yangyang quickly said, “I have some work to do, I’ll video chat with you tomorrow.”
“Okay, mom, I love you.”
“Baby, I love you too.”
After saying the last sentence, Xia Yangyang quickly hung up.
At this time, Gu Qichen was standing only two meters away from her, his face cold and wintry.
He knew exactly who Xia Yangyang was talking to over the phone.
Xia Yangyang actually called him baby.
Even though he knew people in the United States were naturally enthusiastic and such expressions were common to them.
It was still unbearable to hear it from Xia Yangyang’s mouth.
Even in their most passionate moments, Xia Yangyang never once called him ‘baby’.
Gu Qichen felt as if a knife was stabbing into his heart.
Yet, he couldn’t help but push the knife deeper into his heart himself.
Gu Qichen walked up to Xia Yangyang, his voice filled with sarcasm, “Are foreigners really that good? Even the word ‘baby’ slips off your tongue, aren’t you disgusted by it?”
