Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage-Chapter 473 - 474: What despaired him the most was her constantly letting go of his hands
Chapter 473: Chapter 474: What despaired him the most was her constantly letting go of his hands
Gu Qichen dropped Xia Yangyang off at the doorstep of the Xia Family’s villa.
The car came to a halt.
Complete silence enveloped the interior of the car.
Gu Qichen took out a cigarette, lit it, and then put it out shortly after.
Finally, he broke the silence and asked, “Would you like me to stay with you tonight?”
Xia Yangyang shook her head.
After being in a daze for the whole day, Xia Yangyang was surprisingly lucid at this moment.
In a sense, they were already divorced.
Gu Qichen’s actions these past few days were out of past affection for her.
But, without Gu Qichen, Xia Yangyang might not have survived these past three days.
“Thank you, but there’s no need. Gu Qichen, from now on… we’d better look after ourselves,” she said.
Xia Yangyang was fully conscious of the situation.
Once Gu Qichen gave her the divorce agreement, it meant that he had also decided.
Had her father not suddenly passed away, they would definitely never have crossed paths again.
Gu Qichen’s voice was calm, “Then go ahead, take care of yourself.”
Xia Yangyang nodded, “You too.”
Xia Yangyang was surprised at her ability to remain calm while speaking to Gu Qichen.
After the divorce, it was as if they’d both taken a step back from each other.
They had become familiar strangers.
Xia Yangyang got out of the car.
She stepped forward, one foot in front of the other.
Everything would eventually pass.
She clenched her teeth. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
But she was at her breaking point.
She didn’t want to leave Gu Qichen.
She didn’t want to be alone in this world.
She had lost her mother, and now her father as well.
She had nothing left.
Xia Yangyang’s shoulders started to shake.
Gu Qichen watched as Xia Yangyang’s figure receded.
Ultimately, he picked up a cigarette and lit it.
As long as she turned back, as long as she glanced back at him once, he would rush over to her without hesitation.
But she didn’t.
He had to leave now.
This was his promise to the old man.
These past three days by her side were the old man’s last compromise.
He had almost used the threat of giving up Shengyuan to secure it.
But he couldn’t be with her any longer.
Just like what Xia Yangyang had said.
The past grievances between them were like a long river, dividing them.
They could only watch as each other’s figures slowly faded into the distance.
But if she was willing to look back at him even once, he would risk everything and swim towards her, even if it meant jumping into a river.
But time and time again, she had always been the one to let go of his hand first.
That was what made him most desperate.
After entering the floor, Xia Yangyang watched as Gu Qichen’s car remained outside the door for a long time.
The old mansion of the Xia Family was huge.
But it was completely empty.
Xia Yangyang curled up on the bed.
She recalled the times during her childhood when she would lie in her mother’s arms.
The world seemed so dark and lonely.
She didn’t know what her next move would be.
Was Gu Mingzhu’s suicide and ruined reputation a form of retribution for her actions?
Should she pursue past matters?
She had managed to hold on to the Starlight and Xia Family’s villa.
But what good was it?
Everyone was gone.
It seemed, whatever she had done, everything had lost its meaning.
Xia Yangyang put her hand on her stomach.
No, she still had him.
She was carrying a child.
A child of her and Gu Qichen.
She couldn’t break down like this.
These past few days, she had barely eaten anything.
Xia Yangyang almost didn’t dare look in the mirror.
She couldn’t recognize the woman staring back at her.
Xia Yangyang got up.
She went to the kitchen and made herself a bowl of clear water noodles.
She had to eat.
She had to treat her body well for the baby to be healthy.
But she just couldn’t swallow the noodles.
After only a few mouthfuls, her stomach began to churn violently, and Xia Yangyang began to vomit uncontrollably once again.
