Chapter 577: Chapter 578: Congratulations to You All
In fact, Xia Yangyang had thought that Gu Qichen might appear.
But the chances of that happening were slim.
Yet, Xia Yangyang thought that she could face things calmly even if Gu Qichen did show up.
But upon seeing that austere figure.
Xia Yangyang admits, her heart did feel a squeeze.
Feeling somewhat suffocated.
Especially when she saw Xi Zijun, a tall, beautiful woman with extraordinary demeanor, standing next to him.
The two of them seemed to be engaged in a conversation.
But as Gu Qichen lifted his head, his body stiffened.
He also saw Xia Yangyang.
For a moment, Xia Yangyang felt as if the air around her had frozen.
Gu Qichen had this ability. His gaze was as piercing as a sword that could cut through the clouds.
Xia Yangyang found herself inexplicably nervous.
Yet, Gu Qichen’s eyes seemed very calm.
Seeing Xia Yangyang, he did not react even slightly.
He already knew that she was here.
Xia Yangyang stood there, firmly.
Indeed, Gu Qichen walked past Xi Zijun and headed upstairs in Xia Yangyang’s direction.
She would need to face him eventually.
Xia Yangyang had only returned home for a few days but she couldn’t avoid Gu Qichen nevertheless.
In fact, Xia Yangyang suspected that Gu Qichen had come here deliberately.
Gu Qichen was coming closer step by step.
Neither of them took their eyes off each other.
Xia Yangyang had no idea why Gu Qichen was coming her way.
But just the thought of it was already tiring for Xia Yangyang.
She really didn’t feel like clashing with Gu Qichen every time.
Suddenly, Xia Yangyang felt warmth on her shoulders.
A long men’s windproof coat was draped over her shoulders.
Turning her head, she saw it was Gu Zhaohan.
Gu Zhaohan said, “I couldn’t find your coat, wear mine for now to keep warm.”
Gu Qichen’s steps suddenly halted.
Gu Zhaohan looked in the direction of the stairs.
Four eyes facing each other, one cold like water, another even colder, like three-feet of winter ice.
In the end, it was Gu Zhaohan who broke the silence: “Uncle.”
Step by step, Gu Qichen walked up.
When he arrived in front of Xia Yangyang and Gu Zhaohan, his eyes were frosty, but he did not glance towards Xia Yangyang.
He just addressed Gu Zhaohan: “When did you come back?”
Gu Zhaohan’s response was cold and indifferent: “Yesterday.”
Then there was no more communication between the two.
However, Gu Qichen did set his gaze on Xia Yangyang’s face.
Xia Yangyang detected disbelief and undisguised suspicion in Gu Qichen’s eyes.
Someone as clever as Gu Qichen must have figured out something.
But how much he figured out, or what he thought of it now, Xia Yangyang could not be certain.
Just then, Xi Zijun also came up.
Her voice held a few notes of surprise, “Miss Xia, it’s unexpected to see you here today.”
Xia Yangyang smiled, “Miss Xi, long time no see.”
Gu Zhaohan also coldly greeted her, “Sister Zijun.”
Xi Zijun nodded her head in acknowledgment.
Xi Zijun suddenly seemed to remember something, “Today when we came back, Uncle mentioned that Xiao Han brought his girlfriend home, so you must be Miss Xia?”
Xi Zijun didn’t try to hide her doubtful tone.
Xia Yangyang was just about to deny this.
But then she heard Gu Zhaohan confirm: “Yes.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Yangyang was taken aback.
Why would Gu Zhaohan say that?
The look on Gu Qichen’s face was truly gloomy.
Xi Zijun lifted her eyebrows in surprise: “Four years without seeing each other and this really is unexpected, but first, congratulations to both of you.”
