Chapter 943: Chapter 944: Those Supposed Affectations Are Not Affectations, But Truth Chapter 943: Chapter 944: Those Supposed Affectations Are Not Affectations, But Truth Would the outco be any different now?
But fate just played such a joke.
Between him and Xia Yangyang, it seed like they were always missing each other, one mistake after another.
He had always known that Gu Zhaohan had been looking for opportunities to break through the psychological defenses at the bottom of Xia Yangyang’s heart.
That was also the place in her heart that she had been most worried, most fearful, and most agitated about for such a long ti.
However, now, he didn’t have to worry at all.
It’s funny to say, but his heart actually felt at ease.
He rembered a line from a movie that was incredibly pretentious.
“When you’re by my side, I’m always worried you will leave, but once you truly leave, I don’t have to worry anymore.”
Back then, he only felt that the statent was contradictory and lodramatic.
But in many situations, it’s only when you’re deep in them that you realize those so-called pretentious words aren’t pretentious at all, but the truth.
The two of them silently faced each other in the dark.
Slowly, they both concealed their emotions.
What remained were calm and emotionless gazes.
As if both had built a high wall in their hearts.
Gradually, neither could see through anything…
Gu Qichen was the first to break the silence, “Let’s sleep.”
“Okay,” Xia Yangyang replied with just one word.
Then, almost simultaneously, they turned their backs to each other.
But in fact, neither of them slept, each preoccupied with their own thoughts…
The next day, Xia Yangyang woke up very early.
When she woke up, Xingxing was still snuggled in her arms.
A small, fluffy bundle, warm to the touch.
Xia Yangyang felt that just looking at that small face, the softest part of her heart was being gently brushed by a feather.
Xia Yangyang carefully moved away.
She couldn’t resist kissing Xingxing’s plump, pink cheek.
There’s a word in this world called “healing.”
Xingxing’s face was the typical ‘healing’ kind.
Just looking at it made one feel good.
Xia Yangyang quietly got out of bed.
Gu Qichen, she didn’t know at what ti, had already gotten up.
But Xia Ye was still sleeping on the floor bed.
Although this was a dicinal hut, it was in the north, and they had floor heating.
So even sleeping on the floor bed was not cold at all.
Nevertheless, Xia Yangyang got out of bed and picked up Xia Ye, placing him in the bed with Xingxing.
Xingxing seed to be disturbed.
She frowned and humd, then imdiately turned around, wrapped her arm around Xia Ye, and fell back asleep.
Xia Yangyang dressed quietly and tiptoed out.
When she went out, she saw smoke rising from the chimney of the adjacent ear room.
Xia Yangyang walked over.
It turned out that Gu Qichen was cooking breakfast.
This was a small kitchen.
But it didn’t have a gas stove; it was a country-style stove.
In fact, this place had been abandoned for a long ti.
The elder used to have his lunch brought over from the main hall.
The kitchen had been without the warmth of cooking for many years.
But since Gu Qichen arrived, he had cleaned it up.
It turned into a clean and tidy little kitchen.
And surprisingly, he went to the town’s vegetable market every morning to buy ingredients and cook.
Now even the elder ate with them in the backyard.
Gu Qichen was frying eggs.
Eggs from wild mountain chickens, with a golden hue.
As soon as she entered the kitchen, she slled the rich scent.
Xia Yangyang approached, “Have you been cooking here these days?”
Gu Qichen humd in acknowledgnt.
He was the CEO of Shengyuan.
He was the influential business tycoon.
But now, it was as if he had beco a different person.
Doing laundry and cooking in such a small place.
Xia Yangyang didn’t know what Gu Qichen was thinking.
