The following days passed without any disturbances.
Lu Haotian and Gong Xue’er didn’t appear again.
Xia Yangyang seamlessly finished her internship at Shengyuan and prepared for the school term.
The day before school started, Liu Ruyan called her, inviting her home for dinner.
Liu Ruyan was once a top star in the entertainment circle, and now she is Xia Yangyang’s stepmother.
Xia Yangyang’s mother passed away when she was twelve, and she was surprised to find that half a year later, her father married Liu Ruyan.
In Xia Yangyang’s memory, her father was a gentlemanly and deeply affectionate man, always treating her mother with great care, especially during her illness.
Xia Yangyang did not object to her father remarrying, but what she couldn’t accept was that Liu Ruyan brought a daughter named Xia Weiwei, who was only two years younger than Xia Yangyang, and also her father’s biological daughter.
This indicated her father had been unfaithful for many years. Xia Yangyang only found out when she got older that her father’s relationship with Liu Ruyan was always an open secret in their circle.
Gu Qichen finished work exceptionally early today. When he returned, Xia Yangyang was packing her luggage.
Xia Yangyang said to Gu Qichen, “I’m going home tonight, and I will take my luggage with me. I’ll go straight to school tomorrow, and I won’t be coming back here.”
Gu Qichen asked, “Do you want me to come with you?”
Xia Yangyang quickly replied, “No need, I can go home by myself. My dad… doesn’t know I’m married.”
Gu Qichen added, “How about as your boyfriend?”
“Even worse, they don’t know I broke up with Haotian either.”
Gu Qichen calmly asked, “So when do you plan to tell them?”
Xia Yangyang thought for a moment, “I will tell them tonight that I don’t have any ties with Lu Haotian anymore.”
Seeing Xia Yangyang’s resolute decision, Gu Qichen smirked, handing Xia Yangyang a key, “This is your reward.”
Xia Yangyang looked puzzled, “What is this for?”
“The key to Maple Villa. It’s not far from your school. You can move there after school starts.”
Maple Villa was a garden villa in Gu Qichen’s name. Xia Yangyang had been there once. It was a typical wealthy residential area with excellent privacy, home to many celebrities.
Xia Yangyang said, “I live on campus.”
Gu Qichen asked, “So where would I stay?”
Xia Yangyang was taken aback, “You plan to move there too?”
Gu Qichen said, “Xia Yangyang, you are now a married woman. I, your husband, am in good health and in my prime. I have no intentions of living separately.”
Xia Yangyang’s face inexplicably turned red. She had been cohabiting with Gu Qichen for three months now, which she felt was the most daring thing she’d done in her life. Gu Qichen spent half of his time traveling for work, but when he was home, things could always get heated. Each time felt unavoidable and Χia Yangyang had no resistance to such circumstances.
Looking at Xia Yangyang’s blushing face, Gu Qichen couldn’t resist kissing her. Xia Yangyang was inexperienced, she didn’t even know how to breathe during a kiss. Against Gu Qichen’s advances, she was always defeated.
Seeing Gu Qichen slowly unbuttoning Xia Yangyang’s top, Xia Yangyang suddenly snapped back to reality, holding his hand which was already misbehaving on her body, and while panting said, “Not now, I have to go home soon.”
Because Xia Yangyang knew that once they started, there was no stopping for an hour, more importantly, she’d probably be too exhausted to walk afterward.
Deprived of satisfaction, Gu Qichen left a strong hickey on Xia Yangyang’s neck in rebuke, marking a large strawberry.
Then he buried his head in Xia Yangyang’s neck to calm himself, his voice husky and low, “I’ll go take a bath, and then I’ll drive you home.”
