Chapter 611: Chapter 612: Taking the ID Card to Get the Marriage Certificate
Xia Yangyang tried to defuse the tension with light-hearted tones, hoping to make the atmosphere seem less awkward.
But Gu Qichen didn’t seem to take the bait.
After Xia Yangyang finished speaking, his face looked even worse than before.
But he remained silent.
He just stared at her with a gaze as cold as a knife.
Making her feel utterly humiliated.
Xia Yangyang didn’t know what else to say, so she just kept backpedaling.
Before she had taken two steps, Gu Qichen grabbed her arm again: “Xia Yangyang, what on earth are you doing?”
Gu Qichen’s voice was still cold.
Xia Yangyang could tell that his voice was tinged with simmering anger.
Xia Yangyang had already prepared an explanation: “Actually, I came back to get my ID card.”
Xia Yangyang had thought of the worst-case scenario in the car.
If Gu Qichen found her before she found Xia Ye, she would have to come up with an excuse, then try to escape.
This excuse was something Xia Yangyang had thought of long in advance.
Four years ago on that night, Xia Weiwei hit her with her car, Gao Huizhi saved her life and took her away directly.
After that, she went straight to the United States on a private plane.
She didn’t bring anything with her from here.
Including her ID card.
It’s still in the drawer of the bedside table at Maple Villa.
All these years, Xia Yangyang had been living with another identity in the United States.
Even she thought the excuse was somewhat contrived.
But she had no other choice right now.
Gu Qichen’s face looked even more gloomy as he coldly spat out the words: “What do you need the ID card for?”
“I didn’t need it in the States, but now that I’m back home, it’s inconvenient without an ID,” began Xia Yangyang.
Right now, she had to present herself as perfectly justified.
Only then could she dispel the suspicions of this man.
But a touch of sarcasm emerged at the corners of the man’s mouth: “Do you even remember that your name is Xia Yangyang?”
Xia Yangyang knew what Gu Qichen meant.
Especially the hatred and disdain in his eyes.
Xia Yangyang felt that she could not stay long.
If she stayed longer, her cover might be blown.
If Xia Ye were to appear now, she would be doomed.
“Mr Gu, I apologize for invading your space, but given my promise to never appear in front of you again, I felt I had no choice. I’ll leave as soon as I get my things.”
Xia Yangyang did her best to bypass Gu Qichen, pretending to look for her identity card in the bedside drawer.
Her heart was pounding like mad.
Xia Yangyang could feel Gu Qichen’s gaze on her back.
She was uncertain if this intensely suspicious man would doubt her.
Xia Yangyang was surprised to find that everything in the drawer was exactly the same as it used to be.
Even the hair tie that she threw into the drawer four years ago was still in the same spot.
Inside a cardholder, she found her ID card along with some old bank cards.
She no longer needed these.
Xia Yangyang quickly took her ID card out of the cardholder.
And then she got up to leave.
Turning around, she realized that Gu Qichen had somehow already moved behind her.
Gu Qichen’s face was grim.
Just when Xia Yangyang wanted to leave.
Gu Qichen stopped her again: “Are you in such a hurry to get your ID card because you want to get a marriage license?”
Xia Yangyang was taken aback.
She didn’t understand Gu Qichen’s reasoning at first.
But after a couple of seconds, she got it.
Yes, an ID card is crucial when applying for a marriage license.
Xia Yangyang didn’t think of that, but Gu Qichen did.
