He seed to have guessed what Xia Yangyang was thinking.
Gu Qichen said innocently, "It’s useless for you to look at like that. This isn’t my fault. I didn’t expect her to knock on my door in the middle of the night either."
Xia Yangyang spoke up, "Then whose fault is it, if not yours? Why didn’t she knock on He Qiming’s door or Si Yushu’s door, or even Tang Rufeng’s door? Why did she only co knocking on yours?"
"I really don’t have a coback for that. I suppose my charm must be greater than everyone else’s."
Xia Yangyang: "..."
Gu Qichen, however, slowly moved closer: "The way you’re acting now is quite reminiscent of how Mrs. Gu used to be. To be honest, I kind of miss it."
Gu Qichen approached her with a glass of water in hand.
Xia Yangyang instinctively retreated.
But the wall was right behind her, leaving her with nowhere else to go.
Gu Qichen cornered Xia Yangyang against the wall.
One hand propped against the wall.
The other hand held the glass of water, and he leisurely took a sip.
Xia Yangyang’s mind started to blank out a little.
The scent of Gu Qichen grew more distinct.
He had just showered.
Apart from his unique fresh scent, there was a faint trace of masculine pheromones lingering.
Xia Yangyang’s face turned slightly red: "I was like this before? I don’t rember."
"Silly, of course, you don’t rember. Didn’t you lose your mory?"
Xia Yangyang seed to suddenly recall sothing: "So, these kinds of things happened often before too? Back when I was Mrs. Gu, I frequently had to clean up this sort of ss for you?"
Gu Qichen chuckled: "Of course. I am, after all, a man with irresistible charm."
"More like a man who’s skilled at attracting trouble," Xia Yangyang retorted.
A surge of anger bubbled within Xia Yangyang.
A naless fire, blazing and uncontrollable.
How could this man still look so smug?
Though, admittedly, Gu Qichen did have every reason to be arrogant.
In every way imaginable, Gu Qichen was top-notch.
Even if he didn’t actively attract attention, a swarm of admirers would throw themselves at him, just like Shao Tiantian.
The thought of her past life being like this left Xia Yangyang feeling exhausted.
Suddenly, Xia Yangyang felt a wave of dejection.
She lowered her head: "Mr. Gu, I’m sorry. I’ve overstepped. No matter how many won like you, I don’t have the right to interfere..."
Gu Qichen had been in a good mood up until now.
He had just wanted to see Xia Yangyang get unconsciously jealous.
Especially earlier, when he saw Shao Tiantian’s indignant expression.
Gu Qichen admitted it had been a long ti since he’d seen such a reaction.
So, all he wanted now was to tease her a little more,
to purposely step on her tail just a bit.
But he hadn’t expected to step too hard all at once.
Now Xia Yangyang had retreated to what she thought was a safe shell.
Once again, she was attempting to draw clear lines between them.
This was the thing Gu Qichen disliked the most.
His voice suddenly turned cold: "You don’t have the right to care? Then who does? You are Mrs. Gu, my one and only woman."
Xia Yangyang froze for a mont.
Almost reflexively, she looked up.
Gu Qichen’s gaze was sharp, but his eyes were unfathomably deep.
