Chapter 564: Chapter 565: Gu Qichen’s Ears Turned Red
Xia Yangyang put her phone into her bag and coldly tossed out a few words: “At least he’s better than you.”
Gu Qichen’s hypocrisy, in that he could do things others couldn’t, hadn’t changed a bit in the last four years.
She herself had been loitering outside the hotel entrance with Xia Weiwei for quite a while.
And now he dared to meddle in her affairs.
Xia Yangyang didn’t want to get too entangled with him.
Because Xia Yangyang understood that Gu Qichen harbored too much bitterness and resentment towards her.
It was better to avoid him if she couldn’t provoke him.
Xia Yangyang tried to walk around Gu Qichen intending to leave.
She had just taken a step,
But was grabbed by the arm by Gu Qichen: “Tell me, what exactly is better about that foreigner compared to me?”
Xia Yangyang was taken aback and didn’t understand what Gu Qichen meant for a moment.
It took her a while to react.
It seemed he was referring to her offhand comment earlier about the other man being better.
But Gu Qichen’s face was deadly serious.
This man was still so obstinate, his stubborn personality hadn’t changed at all.
Could her abrupt comment have hurt the ego of this mighty President, demanding clarification?
The banquet ended, and there were quite a few people moving about the open-air parking lot.
Xia Yangyang didn’t want to have too much of a confrontation with him.
She opened her mouth: “He’s younger than you, more considerate, and of course…”
Xia Yangyang intentionally glanced in a certain direction of Gu Qichen: “You know, foreigners do have advantages in some aspects.”
Xia Yangyang didn’t blush or miss a beat, her face even had a smirk.
But Xia Yangyang was surprised to see Gu Qichen’s ears turn red for the very first time.
She wasn’t sure if he got angry because of her.
Gu Qichen’s face became terribly dark, his eyes glued to hers.
It seemed that he was judging her, ready to tear her apart.
After a few seconds, he gritted out the words: “Shameless!”
Xia Yangyang laughed: “Thank you for the compliment, President Gu.”
Gu Qichen left angrily, flinging her hand aside.
Xia Yangyang’s face also darkened a bit.
Since she came back, her plans had been disrupted because she ran into Gu Qichen.
The first time they met, Gu Qichen wished he could strangle her.
And every time thereafter, Xia Yangyang could feel his deep-seated resentment and fury.
Xia Yangyang also didn’t understand what kind of feelings Gu Qichen held for her now.
Perhaps he was not able to let go over the past four years, resentful about her sudden disappearance all those years ago, or full of rage and agony over losing their child.
All these complicated emotions intertwined, making each of their encounters seem as if they were carrying daggers, ready to stab each other at any moment.
Xia Yangyang put on an unperturbed face, but her heart was hurting inside.
All these years, she never held any resentment towards Gu Qichen.
She hadn’t projected her resentment towards Gu Mingzhu onto him either.
Her decision to leave back then was due to their child, secondly, because she couldn’t be with Gu Qichen due to the unresolved misunderstandings between them.
But not being able to live together, not being able to spend their twilight years together.
It didn’t mean that Xia Yangyang could forget about this man, or stop loving him…
These years, whenever she looked at Xia Ye’s face, she felt as if Gu Qichen was still by her side.
She had never forgotten.
But after coming back and seeing the pain in Gu Qichen’s eyes, along with his gloomy demeanor.
Xia Yangyang always felt as if she owed him something.
But today was different from the past.
