Chapter 800: Chapter 801: Women are Such Contradictory Creatures
Xia Yangyang walked straight out of the parking lot.
Then she hailed a taxi.
Xia Yangyang she was lost in thought the entire ride.
Though she appeared pensive, in reality, her mind was blank, devoid of thought.
After a while, Xia Yangyang felt her phone vibrate.
That jolted her out of her trance.
Xia Yangyang looked at her screen, it was a call from Gu Qichen.
Xia Yangyang stared blankly at the name on the screen for a few seconds.
Finally, she answered the call.
“Where are you now?” Gu Qichen’s voice came through the handheld device.
Xia Yangyang’s voice didn’t sound any different from usual.
“I went back to the TV station. The interview needs to be produced immediately and I have post-production to do tonight.”
Gu Qichen sounded somewhat displeased, “Didn’t we agree to leave together? You left first, why didn’t you let me know?”
Xia Yangyang was silent for a while, then she said, “I forgot.”
On the other end of the line, Gu Qichen also went silent.
After a while, he sighed, “Fine, I’ll come to the TV station to find you.”
“No need. I might be quite late today. You should pick up Xia Ye from grandma’s house.”
Nevertheless, Gu Qichen insisted, “No matter how late you are today, I will wait for you. Plus, all the TV station reporters should be at the film festival right now, and it’s after work hours. You don’t have to worry about being seen by others.”
Gu Qichen knew all too well what Xia Yangyang was most wary of.
The one thing Xia Yangyang was most concerned about was others finding out about their relationship.
They had a concealed marriage four years ago, and the situation was the same now.
Gu Qichen was not too pleased with this.
Every second of every minute, he wished he could shout out their relationship for the whole world to hear.
But given Xia Yangyang’s special professional status,
Gu Qichen felt forced to bide his time.
Seeing Gu Qichen was so persistent, Xia Yangyang knew that no matter what she said, it would be futile.
“Alright then, you can come over.”
After hanging up, Xia Yangyang seemed dazed.
Xia Yangyang didn’t understand why her mood had suddenly soured.
She knew for certain that Gu Qichen didn’t have feelings for Zhang Xinyi.
If he did, their relationship would have deepened over the years.
But her heart still felt sour and hurt.
There was a feeling she just couldn’t describe.
Xia Yangyang really didn’t version of herself.
Xia Yangyang then arrived at the TV station.
It was late at night.
The TV station was virtually empty.
She didn’t really need to deal with the post-production.
But Xia Yangyang just wanted to find something to do for herself.
In the past, whenever she started working, she could forget about everything else.
But today she was somewhat distracted.
Probably because she knew Gu Qichen was coming over.
It was only about twenty minutes by car from the auditorium to the TV station.
But an hour had passed and Gu Qichen still hadn’t arrived.
Xia Yangyang was gradually growing agitated.
She thought to herself, it would be fine if he didn’t come, after all, she didn’t need him to.
But suddenly, she felt angry.
If he didn’t want to come, why did he assert so definitively that he would?
See, women can sometimes be so contradictory.
Xia Yangyang admitted to herself that she also couldn’t escape this magical law.
But in the end, Gu Qichen did show up.
In his hands, he was holding a box of Feng Jin Ji’s crab roe buns.
These crab roe buns were Xia Yangyang’s favorites.
Just a few days ago, Xia Yangyang had mentioned that she craved them.
But because the bakery’s crab roe buns were always limited in supply, and they always sold out soon after they were freshly baked,
Xia Yangyang didn’t have the time to line up.
She didn’t expect that Gu Qichen had committed it to memory.
