Chapter 645: Chapter 646: Single By Ability
Through the years, he felt a sense of cold and loneliness whenever he was standing by the window.
His heart ached with the emptiness inside him.
However, since the appearance of Xia Yangyang, even though there were occasional inexplicable heartaches.
He always felt as though a ray of light had filled his world, bringing color and the breath of life into it.
Finding himself missing her without knowing why.
Even though he knew that meeting her would lead to endless arguments.
But arguing with her was better than not seeing her at all.
At least she was real, not just a ghost living within his memory.
Gu Qicheng drove out, subconsciously arriving here.
It had been a long time since his last visit.
Even if he had to pass this place, he would deliberately detour.
For Gu Qicheng, the saying “seeing something reminds one of someone” was nothing short of cruelty when it came to Xia Yangyang’s departure.
The Xia Family’s Villa was now vastly different from the past.
Probably because no one had taken care of it in the past four years.
The once beautiful little yard was now overgrown with weeds.
And one side of the villa was covered in climbing vines.
Gu Qichen got out of the car and went in.
The villa’s front door was wide open.
He knew, she must be inside.
Living just as carelessly as she used to.
If a stranger trespassed, she probably wouldn’t even know.
Gu Qicheng had just entered, when he saw Xia Yangyang descending the stairs.
It was evening, and she was dressed up as if she was about to entertain guests.
But she hadn’t returned to the country for four years, and Meng Xiaochu wasn’t here either, so who could she possibly be hosting?
Without asking about her plans, Gu Qichen saw Xia Yangyang leave.
He then heard the sounds of a car speeding away outside.
Just like that, she left without even looking back.
She simply couldn’t stand his presence?
Even after just two sentences of small talk?
Only after she left the Villa, did Xia Yangyang’s emotions finally calm down.
Although she had learned to feign indifference over the years.
Every time she saw Gu Qicheng, she would feel exceptionally tired and strained.
Especially her uncontrollable pounding heart.
The feeling of losing control was so terrifying, as if her true self was about to be exposed anytime and anywhere.
When Xia Yangyang arrived at the airport, Ah Shui was just coming out.
Ah Shui was in his casual sports outfit, carrying a backpack and wearing a baseball cap.
With his fair complexion and handsome feature, he resembled the Prince Charming often described in novels.
But Xia Yangyang knew, in reality, he was just a big kid.
Ah Shui also saw Xia Yangyang, he greeted her with his usual big smile showing his white teeth, and waved to her: “Yangyang.”
At first, Xia Yangyang used to call him ‘Fourth Brother’.
But when she found out that Ah Shui was the same age as her, and that he had a casual and straightforward personality, only interested in racing and wasn’t emotionally mature.
Back in the United States, Phoenix had introduced him to lots of beautiful girls.
For his dates, he either brought them to a car museum for the whole day or took them for a ride at 260 mph just to make his dates throw up. He seemingly had a knack for staying single, not having a single meaningful relationship.
In everyone’s eyes, Ah Shui was just a big kid, so like everyone else, Xia Yangyang called him ‘Ah Shui’.
After getting into the car, Ah Shui was driving while Xia Yangyang was sitting in the passenger seat.
Xia Yangyang asked: “Can you tell if a car has been tampered with four years ago?”
Ah Shui was very confident: “As long as it’s not burned to ashes, nothing can escape my discerning eyes.”
Ah Shui didn’t ask further, he was only interested in the car.
Xia Yangyang only wanted him to inspect the car.
As soon as they left the airport, they went straight to the Xia Family’s Villa.
Once they arrived at the villa, Xia Yangyang saw that Gu Qi Chen had not yet left.
