Chapter 701: Chapter 702: How Can I Go On Living If Something Happens to You?
“Ah Chen.” Xi Zijun’s voice came from inside.
Gu Qichen responded, only to ask: “Did you suddenly call me for something urgent?”
Xi Zijun sighed: “I knew you would forget. Do you remember the coming-of-age ceremony for the daughter of Count Alexander that I told you about?”
Gu Qichen was slightly taken aback: “That’s in two days.”
Xi Zijun said: “We have to fly to France tomorrow. I’ve already booked the tickets. Do you have time?”
Gu Qichen felt a bit guilty.
He had previously agreed, but he had forgotten as all his thoughts were recently on Xia Yangyang.
Gu Qichen spoke: “Don’t worry, what I’ve promised, I will do it. I will be at the airport on time.”
After hanging up the phone, Gu Qichen went back to the room.
Xia Yangyang was still asleep.
She had a heavy sleep and did not wake up until evening.
When Xia Yangyang opened her eyes,
Everything seemed dark.
When she woke up, her head was still heavy.
The drug that Han Cheng used was too strong. Now that Xia Yangyang thought about it, it seemed that Han Cheng was really determined to get rid of her.
She could not even dare to imagine it now.
Xia Yangyang did not know what happened in her unconscious state,
But she could make some educated guesses.
Gu Qichen must have returned after their quarrel.
Otherwise, Han Cheng wouldn’t have been able to get her out so quickly.
Xia Yangyang couldn’t dare to think, what if Gu Qichen didn’t come back.
What if she was taken away by Han Cheng after passing out.
What would her current situation be?
Perhaps she would have already met with a tragic end.
Just imagining it made Xia Yangyang shudder.
Xia Weiwei could actually plot such a cold-blooded murder.
Actually, four years ago, when Xia Weiwei tried to kill her by crashing into her with a car, she should have understood then.
But in the end, she still gave consideration to their blood ties.
Every time Xia Yangyang thought of Xia Weiwei, a chill would sneak up on her.
Gu Qichen was sitting on the sofa.
Xia Yangyang saw him seemingly peeling a pomegranate.
But Gu Qichen was peeling very slowly, one seed at a time, as if he was killing time out of boredom.
Even so, there was already a full bowl of pomegranate seeds in the fruit plate next to Gu Qichen.
Gu Qichen saw Xia Yangyang wake up.
He immediately got up.
Then he sat next to Xia Yangyang and took her hand.
His voice still filled with concern: “How are you? Do you still have a headache?”
Xia Yangyang shook her head: “I’m much better.”
Gu Qichen nodded: “Han Cheng is ruthless, your poisoning was severe. I’m afraid you need to rest for several days to recover.”
Xia Yangyang was aware: “Gu Qichen, can you tell me what happened then?”
Gu Qichen honestly told Xia Yangyang.
However, he played it off lightly.
Nothing more than that they had an argument in the underground car park that day, and he came back.
He saw Han Cheng’s car just leaving and Xia Yangyang was nowhere to be found. There was also a string of keys on the ground.
Then he followed them.
Later, Gu Qichen spoke very briefly, only saying that he chased Han Cheng to the tunnel and saved her.
He made no mention of his near-collision with Han Cheng in the tunnel, and the risk he took.
Xia Yangyang felt she was too lucky.
Looking at Gu Qichen’s face,
Xia Yangyang had such mixed feelings: “Thank you, Gu Qichen. If it weren’t for you this time, I would have been dead.”
Gu Qichen didn’t speak for a while: “Did you know? When Han Cheng took you away, I was thinking, what would I do if Han Cheng would harm you? How would I live if something happened to you?”
