Chapter 579: Chapter 580: Don’t Hurry to Reject Me
Xia Yangyang looked steadily at Gu Zhaohan.
The color of Gu Zhaohan’s eyes was calm.
He was no longer the white-clothed young man referred to as the “Iceberg Prince” on the university campus.
He was now restrained and mature, and even more, a rising star in the medical field.
His eyes no longer bore the patience, entanglement, and conflicts of his past.
At this moment, what Xia Yangyang saw was an unyielding faith and slightly fervent gaze.
Xia Yangyang subconsciously averted her eyes.
To atone for the sins of Gu Mingzhu.
Gu Qichen also seemed to have said the same thing.
But likewise, their biological mother was Gu Mingzhu.
However, Xia Yangyang didn’t harbor an intense struggle and conflict with Gu Zhaohan.
Nor did she vent her hatred of Gu Mingzhu upon him.
Perhaps it was just because she didn’t care about him as she cared for Gu Qichen.
Xia Yangyang flatly rejected him, “Gu Zhaohan, no matter whether there were secrets about the past or not, there’s no chance for us. Leaving aside the complicated past entangled between us, the Gu Family will never agree to your being with me.”
Her and Gu Zhaohan, that was too far-fetched.
Gu Zhaohan spoke, “You don’t need to worry about grandfather and mother.”
Xia Yangyang said, “I’m not worried about them, Gu Zhaohan, I won’t fall in love with anyone anymore, I just want to live a peaceful life with Xia Ye now. Love is not indispensable for me, on the contrary, it would bring me endless questions. I have always been grateful for your care and efforts towards Xia Ye, but Gu Zhaohan, you are so smart, you should be very clear that it is not love. There is no possibility between us.”
Xia Yangyang wanted to make things clear once and for all.
In the past, her relationship with Gu Zhaohan also stirred up some storms.
Just thinking about it made Xia Yangyang feel tired.
She didn’t want a repetition of the past now.
She didn’t care about others’ opinions.
However, because of Xia Ye, Xia Yangyang knew that she would keep in touch with Gu Zhaohan in the long run.
She didn’t want to give Gu Zhaohan hope because of this contact.
Seeing Xia Yangyang being so determined and resolute, Gu Zhaohan suddenly smiled, “Alright, don’t worry about rejecting me, there will be plenty of time and opportunities in the future. Let’s go, head to the restaurant for dinner first.”
In this respect, Gu Zhaohan was very much like Gu Qichen.
Whenever she spoke about serious matters, he could easily change the subject.
However, it was just as well that the butler also came to hurry them along.
Xia Yangyang and Gu Zhaohan went to the restaurant one after the other.
There were unusually many people in the restaurant today.
Xi Jiachen was back and sat at the head of the dining table.
Seeing Gu Zhaohan and Xia Yangyang coming together, he stood up, “Xiao Han, aren’t you going to introduce her?”
To be honest, this was the first time that Xia Yangyang had met Xi Jiachen in real life.
Asia’s wealthiest man, who had long topped the Forbes list, was a much-talked-about figure.
He had single-handedly built a massive business empire.
The outside world’s praise made it seem as if he had three heads and six arms.
However, seeing him in person was vastly different from her imagination.
Xia Yangyang’s first impression of him was, “A handsome and elegant middle-aged man.”
Indeed, it was a well-known fact that Xi Jiachen was an exceptionally handsome man in the financial circle during his youth.
Although he was now middle-aged, his features still showed signs of his past glory, and his demeanor was gentle and elegant.
It turned out that none of Xi Jiachen’s three sons resembled him.
The eldest son was frivolous, the second son was unruly, and this youngest one was as cold as an age-old glacier.
The glacier beside her spoke up, “Dad, this is Yangyang.”
