Chapter 652: Chapter 653: Why didn’t Ah Chen come with you?
Yet now, Gu Qichen was helpless.
Thinking about that woman, Gu Qichen was truly helpless.
His goals had always been clear, and he knew exactly what he wanted in his heart.
But now, for the first time, he was lost.
In the past four years, his only goal had been to find Xia Yangyang.
But now that he had found her, he was lost.
He didn’t know which way to go next.
Regarding Xia Yangyang, he always had this sense of helplessness and lack of control.
At noon, Fang Zhengdong brought the lunch over.
Considering that Xia Ye would be waking up soon, Gu Qichen said: “Get the cafeteria to make some vegetable porridge.”
Fang Zhengdong hadn’t reached the door when Gu Qichen called him back: “Never mind, I will take him out to eat later.”
As expected, Xia Ye woke up after a little while.
Gu Zhaohan had administered a new medicine to Xia Ye in the past few days.
Now his sleeping period had been reduced to 16 hours.
However, the effect of the new medicine was still under observation.
When Xia Ye woke up, he asked: “Uncle, where are we?”
Xia Ye still called him Uncle, even though he clearly knew that Gu Qichen was his biological father.
Gu Qichen stood up: “Come on, let me take you out to eat.”
Xia Ye hesitantly made a request: “Uncle, I want to eat cake.”
“Then let’s go buy cake.”
“Uncle, I want to eat cake with my mom, because today is my birthday.”
Gu Qichen was somewhat surprised.
Today was Christmas, and he hadn’t realized it was also Xia Ye’s birthday.
However, Gu Qichen had read Xia Yangyang’s prenatal examination report.
According to the report, Xia Ye’s birthday should not be on Christmas.
In that case, Xia Ye was born prematurely.
Gu Qichen frowned slightly, why was Xia Ye born prematurely?
Infused with this thought, Gu Qichen’s heart was filled with a sour bitterness.
When Xia Yangyang was giving birth, he was not by her side.
If only they hadn’t separated back then, at least at that time, he would’ve been by her side.
Gu Qichen gathered his thoughts: “I will take you to see your mother.”
At that smile, Gu Qichen felt a warmth, like a morning sun on a winter’s day.
Gu Qichen drove out of the Shengyuan Building, proceeded to the cake shop and bought a cake.
Then he went straight to the Xia Family’s villa.
But Xia Yangyang was not at home and they didn’t know where she had gone.
Xia Yangyang’s mobile number was unique; although he had called her before, the number did not show up on Gu Qichen’s mobile phone, every call he made was directed to a void.
Gu Qichen didn’t know where Xia Yangyang had gone.
Xia Ye seemed clearly disappointed.
In fact, he wanted to stay with his mother more.
Gu Qichen said: “I will take you to meet someone.”
Xia Ye raised his head: “Who are you taking me to see?”
“You will see once we get there.”
Gu Qichen took Xia Ye to the Peaceful Nursing Home.
Initially, his plan was to bring Xia Ye to meet Xia Yangyang’s grandmother.
He just didn’t anticipate finding Xia Yangyang right there.
The grandmother was stitching shoes in her room.
Xia Yangyang was assisting her from the side.
The two were having a casual conversation.
The grandmother had Alzheimer’s disease, though it was being managed with the best medication.
However, her memory was not what it used to be.
She kept forgetting what she was saying mid-conversation.
Xia Yangyang had been there for half a day, and the grandmother had already asked for the third time: “Why didn’t Ah Chen come with you?”
Just as Xia Yangyang was about to explain again.
Gu Qichen walked in hand in hand with Xia Ye: “Grandma, I was delayed because I went to buy a cake.”
