Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage-Chapter 862 - 863: Or do you think there’s no difference between dining with me or with him?

Chapter 862: Chapter 863: Or do you think there’s no difference between dining with me or with him?

Xia Ye had been staying at the Peaceful Nursing Home for the past two days, keeping her grandmother company.

Once Xia Yangyang finished work, she went straight to the nursing home.

After having dinner with her grandmother and tucking her into bed, Xia Yangyang brought Xia Ye back home.

By the time Xia Yangyang arrived at Maple Villa, it was already very late.

She had actually intentionally come back late.

Because the villa seemed so empty without Gu Qichen there.

If it had been before, Xia Yangyang didn’t care too much.

Sometimes, she felt that leaving a light on and patiently waiting for her loved one to return was a kind of happiness.

But not now.

As Xia Yangyang sat there waiting, she couldn’t help but wonder, with whom was Gu Qichen now, was he swaying a wine glass, standing with Xi Zijun before the French windows, overlooking the city’s nightscape?

She felt she could no longer stop herself from thinking about it, from caring about it.

So, she intentionally came back late.

Gu Qichen still hadn’t come back.

That disappointment felt like a pair of hands, wrenching at her soul, always feeling something tugging with force.

What exactly had changed?

Xia Yangyang still didn’t quite understand.

After a long wait, Gu Qichen finally returned.

When Gu Qichen came back, Xia Yangyang was standing at the door of the room.

The two exchanged glances, and Gu Qichen was the first to look away.

Xia Yangyang spoke up, “You’re back?”

Gu Qichen just hummed in response and then entered the room.

As he passed by Xia Yangyang, she caught a distinct smell of red wine.

He had been drinking red wine again.

After Gu Qichen entered the room, he took off his coat and was about to head to the bathroom to take a shower.

Xia Yangyang spoke up, “Have you been very busy lately?”

Gu Qichen simply hummed indifferently, “I’ve encountered some thorny issues, so I’ve been coming back later.”

Gu Qichen looked like he was offering an explanation.

“Is it because of Gu Zhaohan?”

Xia Yangyang had come to that conclusion based on what Secretary Fang had said.

But the mention of Gu Zhaohan’s name seemed to prick Gu Qichen like a needle.

He glanced at Xia Yangyang, and his tone suddenly grew colder and harsher, “You seem to be particularly concerned with his matters now.”

Xia Yangyang was slightly startled, “I’m just concerned about you.”

“You’re concerned about me? Xia Yangyang, are you concerned that I’ll have lunch with him on the rooftop, laughing and chatting together?”

Xia Yangyang’s eyes darkened—it seemed that Gu Qichen knew about her having lunch with Gu Zhaohan today.

Xia Yangyang didn’t originally think much of it. With so many people at the company, and having run into Fang Zhengdong, it wasn’t strange that Gu Qichen would find out.

Xia Yangyang even felt it was a very ordinary thing. Wasn’t he also going out to eat with Xi Zijun?

Xia Yangyang said, “I did have lunch with Gu Zhaohan, but that lunch was originally meant for you. Knowing you went out with Miss Xi, I didn’t want to disturb you.”

Xia Yangyang felt her explanation was clear enough.

Because she knew that ever since they made up, Gu Qichen still didn’t feel secure, and what troubled him the most was his relationship with Gu Zhaohan.

To be honest, because of Xia Ye, it was impossible for Xia Yangyang to not have any contact with Gu Zhaohan at all.

Even though she knew Gu Qichen was bothered by it, there was nothing Xia Yangyang could do.

But Xia Yangyang believed she had done her best to maintain a balance.

She explained everything she could, but Gu Qichen was becoming increasingly reticent with her.

“So, you gave what was originally for me to him. Why didn’t you call me when you arrived? Or do you think there is no difference between having lunch with him or with me, that you just needed someone to accompany you for lunch?”
