Chapter 628: Chapter 629: Xia Yangyang, only you have forgotten everything
Xia Yangyang was suddenly nervous: “How did the old man know about this child?”
Fang Zhengdong showed an awkward expression: “He might have seen some gossip news articles and thought…”
Xia Yangyang understood instantly.
The old man must have thought that Xia Ye was the illegitimate son of Gu Qichen and Zhang Xinyi.
Xia Yangyang, holding Xia Ye: “No, I won’t let Summer return to the Gu Family. He has nothing to do with you!”
Gu Qichen huffed coldly: “Now that the old man knows, do you really think you can keep hiding it?”
Xia Yangyang knew that she could not hide it any longer, but the situation had long since spiraled out of her control.
“Xia Yangyang, didn’t you want to sever our liaison? Today, when we return, I will completely sever ties with you.”
Xia Yangyang felt particularly drained when Gu Qichen said this.
Maybe it was because that little starlet had made him less obstinate.
But what exactly did Gu Qichen mean by severance?
In the end, Xia Yangyang went back to Gu Garden with Gu Qichen.
Xia Yangyang had not set foot in this place for four years.
But everything still seemed just as it was before.
The winter cherry blossoms out front of the villa were all in bloom.
Pink petals were scattered all over the ground, giving the illusion of having entered a fairy tale world.
As soon as the car stopped, Xia Yangyang got out.
The big golden retriever in the yard started barking at her.
Xia Yangyang turned her head and called out “Oscar!”
The golden retriever seemed startled too.
Then it ran wildly to Xia Yangyang’s feet, rolling around, revealing its belly in a playful manner, its nose rubbing against her trouser leg.
Xia Yangyang was quite surprised and suddenly said to Gu Qichen, who was walking towards her, “It still remembers me?!”
“Xia Yangyang, you’re the only one who forgot everything.”
The tone of Gu Qichen was cold.
He then opened the car door to carry the sleeping Xia Ye.
Xia Yangyang realized that Gu Qichen’s words were cryptic; her heart prickled as if stabbed by something.
Gu Qichen carried Xia Ye into the house, and Xia Yangyang followed.
When the butler saw Gu Qichen return, he respectfully said, “Young Master, you’re back. The old man is in the study.”
But then, he turned his head and saw Xia Yangyang too.
His usually taciturn face registered shock, “Young Madame.”
Xia Yangyang forced a smile: “Uncle Zhou, I am not Young Madame anymore. Just call me Miss Xia.”
The butler recovered his composure. To think that after four years, the young master had brought the young madame back and even a child.
The butler softened his eyes at the sight of the child: “This must be the young master. He’s the splitting image of the young master when he was a child.”
Gu Qichen’s face didn’t look too good: “Has my sister returned?”
“The young mistress is also in the study.”
Gu Qichen went straight upstairs with Xia Ye in his arms.
Nothing at the Gu Family residence had changed, even the young maids from four years ago still had the same faces.
All of them looked at Xia Yangyang as if they had just seen a ghost.
Xia Yangyang felt inexplicably nervous.
But whatever needs to be settled had to be over as soon as possible.
Gu Qichen did not go to the study, but took Xia Yangyang to a bedroom – the one they had stayed in four years ago.
It was only after settling Xia Ye that Gu Qichen went to the study. Xia Yangyang accompanied him.
The study door was tightly shut.
Gu Qichen knocked twice.
The door swiftly opened.
Gu Mingzhu appeared at the door.
“You’re finally back, you and that starlet actually…..”
Mingzhu’s words trailed off as she noticed Xia Yangyang standing behind Gu Qichen.
