Chapter 637: Chapter 638: Is it hard to forget the past?
Xia Yangyang was the first one to walk out of the study.
Gu Qichen and Gu Zhaohan followed her out.
After leaving, Gu Zhaohan grabbed Xia Yangyang’s hand and led her to the balcony at the end of the corridor.
Gu Qichen coldly watched their retreating figures without following.
Xia Yangyang also wanted to talk to Gu Zhaohan.
Therefore, she let Gu Zhaohan lead her to the balcony.
This was an aerial garden of the Gu villa.
It used to be Xia Yangyang’s favorite place to stay.
There was a small wooden table and several log chairs on the terrace.
It was only after they reached the balcony that Gu Zhaohan released Xia Yangyang.
Gu Zhaohan turned around: “Did you deliberately let uncle find out?”
Although it was a question, Gu Zhaohan’s tone suggested he was sure.
Xia Yangyang was somewhat at a loss.
But after a moment, she understood that Gu Zhaohan was referring to Xia Ye’s identity.
Gu Zhaohan thought she had intentionally let Gu Qichen find out Xia Ye was his child.
Xia Yangyang laughed: “You should know why I would do such a thing. All along, my greatest fear has been letting Gu Qichen know about Xia Ye’s existence.”
Gu Zhaohan’s voice was as cold as a knife: “So, it’s not because of lingering old feelings?”
Xia Yangyang felt as though something had struck her, stabbing straight into her heart, causing a suffocating pain.
She appeared somewhat annoyed: “Gu Zhaohan, I won’t do such boring things. I also don’t want to be emotionally involved with the Gu family anymore, whether it’s with Gu Qichen or you, do you understand?”
Gu Zhaohan’s brows furrowed.
Xia Yangyang continued: “Since we’ve reached this point, I’ll make clear what I haven’t clarified before. I know your goal. You rushed to the old man to propose to me not because you genuinely wanted to marry me, but to make him angry. You wanted him to think that I was still playing between you and Gu Qichen over the years, that I wanted to use your feelings for revenge against the Gu family. Therefore, the old man will definitely oppose my remarrying Gu Qichen. That’s your true intention.”
Gu Zhaohan’s eyes narrowed slightly, remaining calm: “Yes, I didn’t expect to hear about your remarriage as soon as I returned. I know what kind of person my uncle is. He would always insist, and grandpa would eventually compromise. But if he thought that you were still involved with both of us with ulterior motives, he would never agree to your remarriage.”
Xia Yangyang laughed coldly: “It seems I do owe you thanks.”
Gu Zhaohan’s eyes were icy and piercing, as if they could see through people’s hearts: “I can’t see any gratitude in your eyes. Or is it because you wavered, taking advantage of Xia Ye’s identity, and hoped to remarry my uncle?”
Xia Yangyang raged: “Gu Zhaohan, don’t think you know me so well. How do you know what’s going on in my heart? I never thought of remarrying Gu Qichen, and we can never remarry.”
Xia Yangyang was inexplicably angry without knowing why.
She also felt strangely guilty.
Just for a moment, it seemed Xia Yangyang had really wavered.
Over the years, Xia Yangyang often thought about the possibility of a misunderstanding about the past.
What if Gu Mingzhu had only taken the blame for Liu Ruyan.
Could she and Gu Qichen still have a chance to be together?
