Chapter 729: Chapter 730: Three Thousand in the Harem
Xia Yangyang wasn’t sure what had gotten into Gu Qichen.
It was as if he was stuck to her.
And she couldn’t shake him off no matter how hard she tried.
In the end, left with no other options, Xia Yangyang had to use her trump card.
She bit down hard on Gu Qichen’s lip.
Surprisingly, even after biting him, Gu Qichen didn’t let go of Xia Yangyang.
Frustrated, Xia Yangyang began to punch him on the shoulder.
Only after Gu Qichen had his fill of kisses, did he finally let go, satisfied.
Xia Yangyang took a step back.
She roughly rubbed her lips, “Gu Qichen, you truly are crazy.”
Gu Qichen was in a great mood, “Even if I were to act crazy today, it wouldn’t matter.”
Xia Yangyang was at a loss for words upon seeing the man in front of her.
But Gu Qichen grabbed her arm: “You’re the only one I’ve cared about these past few years.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Yangyang grew even more angry: “Just me? Mr. Gu, weren’t you someone with a harem of three thousand women?”
Gu Qichen laughed it off. “What harem of three thousand women? I’ve only ever had a few women around me.”
“Just a few, Mr. Gu. You have such high standards. Do you really need three thousand women to be satisfied?”
But Gu Qichen showed immense patience.
Watching Xia Yangyang’s temper tantrum was like watching a temperamental child.
Gu Qichen explained: “As for Zijun and I, there’s nothing between us. We are partners and it’s purely a professional relationship, at most we are friends who understand each other. She knows very well how I feel about her and that there isn’t the slightest amount of romantic sentiment.”
Xia Yangyang was perplexed: “Then why are you engaged?”
“That too is business. It’s a long story, but the simple explanation is that she needs a marriage to support her career, and I’m tired of grandfather’s and sister’s constant nagging. However, our marriage is contractual, I can show you the contract once we go home.”
Xia Yangyang was taken aback.
She hadn’t expected this at all.
She continued: “What about the renowned actress Zhang Xinyi? I heard that you are her secret benefactor, that you were with her for three years, even had a child with her.”
Mentioning Zhang Xinyi made Gu Qichen’s eyebrows furrow.
Xia Yangyang’s heart sank.
Could the rumors about Zhang Xinyi be true?
Gu Qichen spoke up: “This matter is hard to explain momentarily, I will tell you about it once we go home. But I can assure you one thing: Zhang Xinyi and I have no romantic entanglement, and we never slept together. Three years ago, I did send her to the hospital for an abortion, and that was caught by the media, but the child wasn’t mine. Her current situation is due to a mistake I made back then, she suffers from severe depression, and I take care of her like a sister because I feel guilty.”
Although Xia Yangyang did not know why Gu Qichen felt guilty.
She still chose to believe him.
“If you haven’t had any other women in these years, why does everyone believe you’re such a playboy?”
Xia Yangyang’s voice was full of bitterness.
“I really haven’t. You don’t know what gossip media are like. And, didn’t you personally verify my virginity the other day?”
Gu Qichen leaned in: “I’ve been living like a monk these past years, don’t tell me I didn’t seem starved for affection that night?”
Xia Yangyang’s face turned beet red in an instant.
Looking up at Gu Qichen’s devilish smirk.
All she could think about was that night’s events.
