Gu Qichen looked up at Xia Yangyang, paused for a mont, and then said, "I also need to go to Beijing in a few days, co with then."
Xia Yangyang, however, raised her head and asked, "Why are you going to Beijing?"
Gu Qichen replied, "Zijun is going back to Beijing, I’m seeing her off."
Xia Yangyang’s heart sank.
Then she lowered her head and said, "No, I’m really worried about Xingxing’s condition. It’s better to return to Peace Hall as soon as possible. I’ve already booked a flight ticket, I’m leaving this afternoon."
Actually, Xia Yangyang had not booked a ticket.
But right now, she really didn’t want to stay even for a second longer.
Gu Qichen’s gaze fixed on Xia Yangyang.
Gu Qichen seed to sense sothing too.
But in the end, he said nothing.
He put down his chopsticks and directly said, "Be careful on the road, call when you arrive."
Xia Yangyang really left that afternoon.
At the mont she boarded the plane, Xia Yangyang felt as if countless stones were pressing on her heart.
But these stones did not lift because of her departure, instead, they only grew heavier.
In fact, Xia Yangyang knew she was being foolish.
Last night, Xia Yangyang had seen through Xi Zijun’s intent.
Now leaving was undoubtedly a withdrawal.
Moreover, it provided Xi Zijun with an opportunity.
Thoughts of the old master’s previous words and Xue Shaotang’s advice at the last ball filled Xia Yangyang’s mind.
They all said Xi Zijun was a woman with deep sches and calculations.
The old master even bluntly stated she was no match for Xi Zijun.
Maybe the old master was right.
In reality, Xia Yangyang had no desire to contend.
Xi Zijun had told Xia Yangyang that she gave up on Gu Qichen back then because she could not have his whole heart, and due to her pride, she chose to let go.
But Xi Zijun regrets it now.
Xia Yangyang feels her current state is similar to Xi Zijun’s then.
Xia Yangyang doesn’t want to cling to Gu Qichen.
If up to this day, Gu Qichen truly chose Xi Zijun again, Xia Yangyang would let go without hesitation.
Although Xia Yangyang is unsure if she will regret it in the future as Xi Zijun did.
After getting off the plane, Xia Yangyang forced herself to forget everything from there.
Forget everything they said last night, forget Xi Zijun, even forget Gu Qichen.
After getting off the plane, Xia Yangyang directly took a taxi to Peace Hall.
Xingxing remained silent the entire way, even walking with her head down.
Upon arriving at Peace Hall.
The pharmacists outside were delighted to see Xingxing.
Xingxing was the youngest, the old gentleman’s last disciple.
Everyone treated her like their own child, loving her dearly.
However, they rarely saw Xingxing like this nowadays.
With her head down, as if unable to hear others talking.
It’s as if Xingxing had completely shut herself off.
Which was exactly what worried Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang took Xingxing to the backyard.
Xiao Bai was lazily lying on the herb wagon in the courtyard.
Seeing them return, he lifted his head.
Then quickly got up and walked over.
Xiao Bai was the first to reach Xingxing’s side.
He sniffed the scent on Xingxing.
He seed to sense that Xingxing was in a bad mood.
He gently nudged Xingxing with his head.
Xingxing just extended her hand to gently touch Xiao Bai.
Very different from before.
Before, whenever Xingxing saw Xiao Bai, she would happily pounce on him.
