Chapter 502: Chapter 503: Gu Qichen is her demon-revealing mirror
She had been a journalist for many years.
She didn’t know how many unexpected events she had encountered.
She even encountered serious terrorist attacks.
But at those times, Xia Yangyang had never been as flustered as she was now.
It seemed Gu Qichen was like a blind spot in her thoughts.
When it came to him, she seemed to instantly lose her analytical and thinking abilities.
The only thing she could think of was stalling.
The only certainty was that she absolutely could not appear by that man’s side at this moment.
He did not know at all that she had given birth to a child.
Xia Yangyang wasn’t sure, if Gu Qichen knew that Xia Ye was his and her child, what kind of earth-shattering reactions he would have.
Besides, Gu Qichen was soon to be engaged.
Meanwhile, Xia Ye’s voice came over from the phone, “Mom, uncle wants to say a few words to you.”
Xia Yangyang felt her heart stutter.
From Xia Yangyang’s perspective, she could clearly see, Xia Ye had taken off his watch and was handing it to Gu Qichen.
Gu Qichen took the watch and put it to his lips.
His voice came through clearly from the other end of the line, “Hello, I’m Sean. Could you give me a moment of your time?”
Xia Yangyang hadn’t heard Gu Qichen’s voice in a long, long time.
His deep voice, indifferent yet familiar, echoed lightly.
Xia Yangyang’s heart started to beat wildly.
It felt like something inside her body was awakening.
Xia Yangyang could not possibly respond.
Because Xia Yangyang knew that once she spoke, she would be exposed.
On the other end, Gu Qichen’s voice came through, slightly confused, “Hello?”
Xia Yangyang quickly ended the call.
From afar, Xia Yangyang saw Gu Qichen’s puzzled expression.
But he seemed to be puzzled just for a second.
Then he handed the watch back to Xia Ye.
He patted Xia Ye’s head lightly, whispering something to him.
Then Xia Ye got back into the car with Gu Qichen.
The car drove off.
At that moment, Xia Yangyang felt as if she was a city devastated by a typhoon.
Her inner world was in complete disarray.
In the past four years, she thought she had become independent, rational, and strong. This was how everyone saw her.
But when she encountered Gu Qichen, in that instance-
She felt like she had reverted back to her old self.
All the cowardice, hesitation, and evasion of the past seemed to resurface instantaneously.
Xia Yangyang did not like this side of herself.
But Gu Qichen was like a mirror revealing her true self.
Her fingers clutching her phone started shaking uncontrollably.
She sat in her car for a long while before finally driving off.
Gu Qichen brought little Tuanzi back to Green Villa.
Fang Zhengdong voiced his thoughts, “Tuanzi’s parents are too laid-back. What could possibly be more important than their son? Leaving a child with a stranger, aren’t they worried something might happen?”
Gu Qichen responded casually, “Do you think something will happen to him under my care?”
“Mr. President, I didn’t mean it like that.”
Fang Zhengdong looked at Gu Qichen through the rearview mirror while driving.
He couldn’t shake off the feeling that the president seemed fairly pleased that little Tuanzi hadn’t left.
Once they returned, little Tuanzi didn’t take long to drift off to sleep again.
Fang Zhengdong reminded Gu Qichen, “Mr. President, you are going to United States for a meeting tomorrow. What should we do about little Tuanzi?”
There were no housekeepers or servants in Green Villa; they usually hired temporary workers for cleaning.
The president had an important meeting tomorrow.
He should also be present, making it impossible for him to stay and look after little Tuanzi.
Fang Zhengdong proposed, “Should I find a temporary nanny now?”
“No need,” Gu Qichen spoke lightly, “Bring him along to the company tomorrow.”
