Chapter 730: Chapter 731: He has already taken ninety-nine steps, she will take the remaining one.
Although Gu Qichen was hungry like a starved wolf.
And he was pushing hard that day.
But this way of validation was unheard of.
Gu Qichen was clearly being a rogue again.
Xia Yangyang glared at him with eyes as black as gemstones, “Gu Qichen, can you please talk sensibly?”
Gu Qichen already had hold of Xia Yangyang’s hand, gently moving it downward, “Or, do you want to verify it again now?”
Xia Yangyang’s palm felt like it’s gotten scorched, “Gu Qichen, you!!”
Gu Qichen stopped teasing her, steadied his expression and became serious, “Yangyang, come home with me. It’s been four years, how many sets of four years does a person have? I’ve never changed my feelings for you, neither in body nor in spirit I have ever betrayed you. Come back to me, Xia Ye also needs a complete home.”
Just the two words “going home” made Xia Yangyang’s nose twitch.
How long has it been since she heard the word “home”.
It was a word that touched her heart, buried deep inside her and dared not to touch.
All these years, she’d been fighting on her own in the United States, depending on Xia Ye for survival.
Every night, when looking at Xia Ye’s face, Xia Yangyang felt content.
But she also felt sad.
Because deep down she always felt something was missing.
The words Gu Qichen said today, were something Xia Yangyang didn’t dare even dream of.
She felt fragile to the point of collapse in an instant.
The moonlight was bright, surrounded by a flower wall.
Unnamed flowers were blooming enchantingly in the darkness of the night.
The air was filled with charming fragrance.
Xia Yangyang felt as if she was in a dream.
Gu Qichen’s voice seemed to come from a faraway place, lingering in her ears, word by word infiltrating her eardrums.
Xia Yangyang felt extremely tired.
All these years, she always held a belief to support herself.
Always felt that she was strong enough to do anything, without needing any harbor.
But at this moment, Xia Yangyang admitted.
She still lacked courage, a few words from Gu Qichen shattered her hard armor that she painstakingly built over the years.
Yes, she was deeply longing in her heart.
As if from the moment she saw Gu Qichen again, a voice in her heart started yelling.
She still loved him, loved him to the point where she couldn’t refuse Gu Qichen’s approach every time.
For the past four years, she thought she had forgotten Gu Qichen.
Only to overlook the deep night when she needed to rely on sleeping pills to sleep and drive away the figure in her mind.
Besides her professional work as a journalist, she also did volunteer work on weekends.
Not because she was noble, but because she could not let herself idle for a moment.
Over the years, Gu Qichen was like a devil locked in her heart.
Xia Yangyang had to be on full guard, otherwise he might slip out at any moment, recklessly gnawing at her memories.
Xia Yangyang suddenly broke down and cried.
It seemed sudden to outsiders.
But Gu Qichen could understand that it was probably the outburst of suppressed emotions over the years.
Because Gu Qichen, too, only wanted to have a good cry at the moment.
Gu Qichen held Xia Yangyang tightly in his arms, repeating over and over, “Come home with me. Let’s go home.”
In the end, Xia Yangyang finally nodded, her face buried into Gu Qichen’s chest.
She was tired, she too wanted to rely on someone.
Xia Yangyang knew that the four years had built a mountain between them.
But Gu Qichen had already taken ninety-nine steps.
The last step, she wanted to take the initiative.
Because, she can’t be without him either…
