Xia Yangyang was clearly very repulsed by Gong Xue’er’s words.
She truly couldn’t figure out what Gong Xue’er’s intentions were.
She obviously hated Lu Haotian and her own doubts the most.
Yet she insisted on exposing it on purpose, arousing everyone’s curiosity.
After Gong Xue’er said those things, Xia Yangyang’s position beca incredibly awkward.
Everyone was waiting for Xia Yangyang to speak.
At this mont, Gu Qichen opened his mouth: "In middle school? Back then, how old were they? It was just child’s play."
He Qiming chid in, "So that ans Mr. Gu is also aware of this?"
Gu Qichen smiled and said, "Of course I know. There’s nothing about my wife that I don’t know."
Gu Qichen’s tone was gentle, and he even extended a hand to lightly hold Xia Yangyang’s.
Xia Yangyang glanced at Gu Qichen.
It was clear that Gong Xue’er wanted to stir up trouble.
But Gu Qichen skillfully deflected it without any effort.
If Gu Qichen was already aware of this, then it truly ant there was nothing to it.
Moreover, everyone sitting here now had their own families and children.
The things from their youth could only be considered a minor interlude in life.
Suddenly, everyone’s attention shifted to Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen.
He Qiming smiled and asked, "How did Mr. and Mrs. Gu et?"
Gu Qichen gave Xia Yangyang a deep look: "It was love at first sight. The first ti I saw her, I wanted to marry her. But at that ti, she was still a student, so I could only wait for her to grow up, plan things out step by step, and in the end, it took a great deal of effort to win her heart."
Gu Qichen’s gaze was usually cold.
But at this mont, when he looked at Xia Yangyang, there was an undeniable warmth and affection in his eyes.
The stark contrast made those around them believe Mr. Gu truly adored Mrs. Gu.
Xia Yangyang also looked into Gu Qichen’s eyes.
For a brief mont, it was as though she was completely lost in them.
She felt as though Gu Qichen’s gaze was so clear.
As if there was a whole universe of stars and oceans within, pulling her in, leaving her unable to escape.
Xia Yangyang seed to have forgotten they were recording a program.
Forgotten about everyone else around them.
Even the presence of the caras faded from her mind.
In her eyes, it seed as though only Gu Qichen existed.
She could distinctly hear her heart beating wildly.
And though she had no mory of what Gu Qichen was saying.
That feeling of her heart fluttering—Xia Yangyang seed to be experiencing it all over again in this very mont.
The scene looked almost impossibly warm and blissful.
All the caras silently turned to focus on the two of them.
Lu Yao leaned on Tang Rufeng’s shoulder, laughing: "The two of them look like they’re acting in a rom-com. Look at Yangyang’s blushing face—it’s just like an eighteen-year-old girl falling in love."
Xia Yangyang noticed as well.
She reached out to touch her own cheeks, finding them burning hot like a heated iron.
Everyone started to tease her.
Feeling incredibly flustered, Xia Yangyang said, "Stop it, you guys. I’m going to the restroom."
"Mrs. Gu really is easily embarrassed."
Amid the playful remarks, Xia Yangyang left the dining room.
anwhile, Gong Xue’er’s fingers gripping the chopsticks had turned white from the pressure.
Yet her face maintained its outwardly cheerful smile, just like everyone else.
When she brought up the topic, creating this atmosphere was not what she had intended.
Xia Yangyang certainly acted the part well, playing the innocent and pure one, making it seem as though Gong Xue’er’s actions had been deliberate slander.
Gong Xue’er forced a smile and stood up: "I’ll go to the restroom too."
