Chapter 710: Chapter 711: She is still somewhat naive
At that moment, Xia Yangyang couldn’t define what she was feeling.
For an instant, Xia Yangyang thought maybe everyone’s fate, every event in one’s life, every chance encounter, was preordained. Each individual’s life, from birth to death, every detail, was arranged by God.
And they were just living it out, playing their roles in the river of time, according to the script.
Otherwise, how could she have so coincidentally run into Gu Qichen.
Initially, she just wanted to go out and clear her head, to evade Gu Qichen.
Clearly, Gu Qichen did not come here alone.
At this very moment, the woman standing beside him, arm entwined with his, was Xi Zijun.
Xi Zijun’s attire also came as a surprise today.
A white, low-cut evening gown and a still sharp and professional makeup look.
She was originally tall and slender, giving off an aura reminiscent of an international supermodel, very strong.
In fact, compared to Xi Zijun.
There was something Xia Yangyang couldn’t match.
Xi Zijun’s aura was the ability and extravagant confidence that radiated from her bones.
But Xia Yangyang’s aura was feigned.
Xi Zijun also noticed Xia Yangyang.
Her expression was indifferent as she glanced at Gu Qichen next to her.
She quietly withdrew her arm from Gu Qichen’s.
Gu Qichen’s face was calm and smooth.
When he saw Xia Yangyang, he didn’t even show a shred of surprise.
But his gaze was as deep as the sea, scrutinizing Xia Yangyang as if she was under inspection.
Being scrutinized like that.
Xia Yangyang had an inexplicable feeling of shock.
Xia Yangyang subconsciously tightened her grip on Li Zhiqian’s arm.
Li Zhiqian glanced at Gu Qichen and then asked, “Your ex-husband?”
Li Zhiqian had met Gu Qichen before.
It was the day they had returned home, at the airport.
Xia Yangyang didn’t respond, but her reaction said it all.
Li Zhiqian glanced in that direction, then whispered into Xia Yangyang’s ear, “The woman over there is Xi Zijun, who is our biggest competitor for the wine agency rights. She has a great relationship with the Count and Countess, so the agency rights are almost confirmed to be hers. The main reason for my visit this time is to snatch the agency rights from her. I heard she recently got married and brought her new husband to visit the Count and Countess. I didn’t expect it to be your ex-husband.”
Li Zhiqian explained everything very clearly.
Only Xia Yangyang hadn’t expected this coincidence.
Xi Zijun turned out to be Li Zhiqian’s strongest competitor.
I’ve heard long ago that she’s running her own wine business in France.
So, it wasn’t surprising to see Xi Zijun here.
The strange part was that Gu Qichen had previously stated that his engagement with Xi Zijun was off.
But now, he came to the banquet as her husband.
Xia Yangyang suddenly remembered, just a day ago.
Gu Qichen was by her side, uttering those sentimental words.
He had expressed hope that they could start over.
However, thinking back now, Gu Qichen was just talking.
He and Xi Zijun shared a relationship of four years.
They’ve even made it to the step of engagement.
They must have endured a lot together to get here.
How could he let go so easily?
Perhaps Gu Qichen wanted to reconcile with her for the sake of the child.
But at the same time, he was also cultivating other emotional relationships around him.
This, however, was something Xia Yangyang could not tolerate.
She could be friends with Gu Qichen, parents to their child, and coexist peacefully.
But she couldn’t go back to being lovers or husband and wife with him.
A laughable matter indeed.
At that time, when Gu Qichen asked her to think carefully, she indeed considered it seriously.
She was still somewhat naive.
