Chapter 753: Chapter 754: Cannot Let the Wife
If it came to debts, the person Xia Yangyang owed the most in her life was probably Gu Zhaohan.
Because she was never able to respond to everything Gu Zhaohan had done for her.
Xia Yangyang began to speak: “Gu Zhaohan, haven’t you ever noticed that you always seem to be comparing yourself with your uncle? You care about gain and loss more than anyone else, even though you say you don’t. You’re so persistent with me, isn’t it because you’re trying to make up for what’s absent? Gu Zhaohan, have you ever asked yourself whether you love me because I’m your uncle’s woman, or because you really like me?”
Gu Zhaohan seemed to be stunned for a moment.
Then he suddenly laughed: “Xia Yangyang, I didn’t expect you to think . To make yourself feel at peace, you could even come up with such a reason?”
Xia Yangyang said, “I’m sorry, Gu Zhaohan.”
“Enough, I’m tired of hearing ‘I’m sorry’. You’ve never truly understood me.”
Gu Zhaohan turned around and added, “No, you never wanted to understand me.”
Xia Yangyang stood on the balcony for a long time.
Then she saw Gu Zhaohan drive out of Gu’s residence.
Xia Yangyang felt exceedingly miserable.
This seemed to be the result she had anticipated.
What he said just now was intentional.
She had to figure out how to completely break Gu Zhaohan’s heart.
Only by disappointing him, denying and trampling on his feelings.
But Xia Yangyang couldn’t bring herself to be cruel.
She held back a lot of sympathy.
Gu Zhaohan was more than a friend to her.
In all those years in the United States, if it hadn’t been for Gu Zhaohan taking care of Xia Ye and helping her regain confidence bit by bit.
She would never have become today’s Xia Yangyang.
Gu Qichen came over and put a coat on Xia Yangyang: “Okay, stop thinking about it.”
The old man didn’t come out to see her all evening.
After dinner, Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen left as well.
Gu Mingzhu seemed to like Xia Ye a lot.
She kept talking to him in her room.
When they left, she appeared somewhat reluctant.
She gave a sweater scarf, claiming it was brought back from abroad.
But Xia Yangyang found the stitches rough, like it was knitted by a beginner.
On the way back, Xia Yangyang seemed lost in thought.
Gu Qichen held her hand: “I know what you’re thinking, but I believe Xiao Han will understand someday. I can give him everything, but I can’t give him my wife, can I?”
Xia Yangyang smiled: “I’m not your wife yet.”
Gu Qichen said: “Gu Qichen suddenly pulled over.”
Xia Yangyang startled: “Gu Qichen, what are you doing?”
Gu Qichen earnestly said: “Proposing.”
Xia Yangyang both laughed and got angry: “Stop joking, who proposes ? And I haven’t yet decided if I want to come back to China.”
Gu Qichen said seriously: “I’m sorry, I really can’t wait another minute. You promise to marry me – I’ve been feeling on edge, as if these past few days are all like a dream. I fear that one day you might disappear again.”
Gu Qichen’s words were solemn, and Xia Yangyang felt a bit bitter-sweet.
Her departure had indeed cast a shadow on Gu Qichen’s heart.
Xia Yangyang said: “I promise, I won’t disappear without notice again. But will you allow me to carefully consider this matter?”
“There’s nothing to consider. Xia Yangyang, whether or not you decide to return to China in the end, just agree to marry me first. If it comes down to it, I’ll go with you to the United States.”
