Chapter 659: Chapter 660: I’m not good, I’m not doing well at all
As if bewitched by Gu Qichen’s voice.
Eventually, Xia Yangyang slowly took a seat.
Gu Qichen held Xia Ye in his arms, sitting down a little closer to Xia Yangyang.
The two of them shoulder to shoulder, watching the snowflakes dancing in the air.
Holding Tuanzi in his arms, Gu Qichen finally spoke, “How have you been these years?”
It was probably the first time since their reunion that they had spoken to each other so calmly.
Strangely, there was a trace of heartache.
Xia Yangyang lowered her head, “How about you?”
Gu Qichen fell silent for a moment, “I haven’t been doing well, not well at all.”
Xia Yangyang felt her heart tighten.
As she turned her head towards Gu Qichen, she saw his gaze was firmly on her face.
Gu Qichen’s eyes were deep, dark, like the sea under a night sky.
Something in them seemed to bewitch Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang found herself unable to utter a single word.
Gu Qichen suddenly leaned in slowly.
Then gently planted a kiss on Xia Yangyang’s lips.
His action was very gentle, as if afraid of awakening something.
With a touch of exploration, he gently traced the shape of Xia Yangyang’s lips.
Xia Yangyang watched his face, her reason told her to push Gu Qichen away.
But in the end, she slowly closed her eyes.
Xia Yangyang remembered their trip to the countryside many years ago.
It was a cold winter .
Back then they sat in the courtyard roasting sweet potatoes.
Under the starry sky, they kissed.
With a sweet taste, the memory of that time seemed to be deeply imprinted in her mind.
In Manhattan, Xia Yangyang hasn’t been able to see the starry sky for years.
When she was alone, sleepless, standing by the window with a glass of red wine, staring at the brightly lit city, she would always remember and even miss.
Four years have passed. She thought she had forgotten about Gu Qichen’s tenderness, his kisses, and his scent.
But the moment their lips touched, her body couldn’t help shivering and trembling.
Xia Yangyang was reluctant to admit that she shamefully still missed.
Gu Qichen was like her opium. Even though she was over it, the meeting again was inevitable.
If it hadn’t been for her phone suddenly ringing halfway through.
She might have given in entirely.
The call was from Li Zhiqian.
Zhiqian had helped Xia Yangyang look up something.
Xia Yangyang got up and went to the window to answer the call.
“I have all the information you wanted. Do I send it to you or you will come get it?”
Xia Yangyang replied, “I am going to Beijing tomorrow. Leave the things at Phoenix. I will pick them up myself.”
After a brief chat, Xia Yangyang hung up.
But Gu Qichen faintly heard the voice of a man on the other end.
Gu Qichen instinctively felt that Xia Yangyang had an ulterior motive for returning home.
She seemed to be conducting a secret investigation.
Moreover, her current identity was mysterious and special, and even her communication was very covert.
For an ordinary person, it would be unimaginable to have such international military anti-surveillance communications equipment.
And the person she interacted with was even more of a mystery.
After the call, Xia Yangyang came back, “You take good care of Xia Ye these days. I have something to do and will leave first. As for Xia Ye, we’ll have a good talk later.”
Xia Yangyang had important matters to attend to and naturally couldn’t delay.
“Where are you going?” Gu Qichen’s voice turned cold.
“None of your business.”
Xia Yangyang had already picked up her coat from the living room, changed her shoes, and left the sanatorium.
He seemed to hear her planning to go to Beijing.
