After Lu Haotian left, Xia Yangyang’s emotions were incredibly complicated.
She wanted nothing more than to cry her heart out.
From the very beginning, Gu Qichen had been standing silently nearby.
His gaze remained fixed on Xia Yangyang, carrying a hint of scrutiny.
At this mont, the atmosphere seed to have cald down.
Xia Yangyang looked up at him, seeming as though she wanted to speak but held back.
Gu Qichen walked over and said, "If you feel like crying, just cry. You can use my shoulder."
Xia Yangyang denied it: "I don’t want to cry. Stop acting like you understand so well."
Gu Qichen replied, "Even though this isn’t the outco you wanted, you can’t take it out on , can you?"
Xia Yangyang froze, her expression one of feigned incomprehension.
Gu Qichen said, "Don’t pretend. I know you haven’t regained your mory."
Xia Yangyang was utterly shocked: "You... how do you know?"
She had been debating how to admit the truth.
And contemplating whether to use the sa approach to test the real feelings between Gu Qichen and herself.
But Xia Yangyang hadn’t expected that before she could reach a decision, she’d already been seen through.
Gu Qichen walked to the bed and sat down beside Xia Yangyang: "You might be able to fool Lu Haotian with sothing like this, but you’ll never fool . After sharing a bed for so many years, I can tell what you’re thinking by just the twitch of your eyebrows."
Xia Yangyang was genuinely surprised.
Indeed, she hadn’t regained her mory at all.
What she’d done monts ago was just an act.
She had always wanted to verify sothing with Lu Haotian.
Xia Yangyang needed to know whether she had really committed adultery during her marriage, and whether Lu Haotian had been lying to her all along.
Xia Yangyang knew that if she confronted Lu Haotian directly, he would never admit it.
She could only resort to this thod.
This was rely an opportunity she seized upon.
Lu Haotian hadn’t caught on.
Because everything she’d spoken about, Lu Haotian had never told her before.
But Lu Haotian probably didn’t anticipate that Xia Yangyang had already heard about everything from Gu Qichen.
Using Gu Qichen’s mories of Xia Yangyang’s personality and speaking style,
She had unexpectedly managed to conceal the truth about the past.
Xia Yangyang looked up and asked Gu Qichen: "When did you figure it out?"
She believed her performance had been flawless.
At least, before actively admitting it, she thought she hadn’t revealed any flaws.
When had Gu Qichen seen through her?
Gu Qichen spoke calmly: "The mont you said your first word, I already knew."
Xia Yangyang recalled.
What had her first words been?
Xia Yangyang seed to have said: Honey, how did I end up here?
Xia Yangyang asked, "I asked how I got here—what’s wrong with that? What gave away?"
Gu Qichen seed to chuckle: "There’s nothing wrong with the sentence itself, but calling ’Honey’ right off the bat? That’s very suspicious."
Xia Yangyang was puzzled: "I used to be your wife. If not ’Honey,’ what else would I call you?"
Gu Qichen’s gaze lingered steadily on Xia Yangyang’s face.
Seeing her earnest expression of confusion, he found her oddly adorable.
Gu Qichen suddenly said, "Then just call that from now on."
Xia Yangyang: "..."
This conversation seed to be heading in the wrong direction.
Still, for Gu Qichen to see through her so quickly, it was clear he was as crafty as a fox.
Gu Qichen said, "Get so sleep for now. When the plane arrives later, we’ll leave. Staying here any longer might lead to more trouble."
