Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage-Chapter 825 - 826: Selfishness Defeats Reason, He...
Chapter 825: Chapter 826: Selfishness Defeats Reason, He…
Xia Yangyang’s cheeks were flushed red, like two burning clouds at sunset.
She was fidgety sitting up there, constantly muttering to herself.
After Gu Zhaohan got into the car, he also had a difficult time fastening her seat belt.
But Gu Zhaohan didn’t drive off immediately.
Instead, he turned his head to take a closer look at Xia Yangyang’s face.
It seemed like it had been a long time since he had looked at her like that.
...
In the past, he never dared to stare at her so openly.
Having known each other for so many years, he was always shackled.
Each time, he could only watch her covertly.
To be honest, Gu Zhaohan was tired of that feeling.
That feeling of living in the shadows, looking up at the sunlight.

It felt glaring, it felt heart-wrenching.
Yet he couldn’t live in peace in a dark corner without light.
Gu Zhaohan didn’t know how long he had been looking at her.
As he looked at that face, it seemed as if many memories flooded his mind.
Mostly, they were recollections from their school days.
Gu Zhaohan remembered that during that time, he and Xia Yangyang rehearsed a play together.
Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.
He played Liang Shanbo, and she played Zhu Yingtai.
Every night, they would rehearse their lines on the terrace of Maple Villa.
Sometimes, when Xia Yangyang was tired, she would just lie on the swing chair and nap.
And at those times, he liked watching her silently, just as he was doing now.
It seemed he could only let his gaze wander freely when her eyes were closed.
Looking back now, those were indeed some of the few happy moments in his life.
In the end, Gu Zhaohan finally started the car.
The car traveled on the city’s elevated roads.
But Gu Zhaohan didn’t know where to go.
Gu Zhaohan knew that Xia Yangyang was currently living with Gu Qichen at Maple Villa.
He drove past Maple Villa twice.
Without stopping.
Ultimately, selfishness overpowered reason.
Gu Zhaohan took Xia Yangyang to his high-rise apartment.
When entering the elevator, they even ran into a neighbor from downstairs.
This apartment was rented by Gu Qichen during his internship at Ruian Hospital.
LATER, before going abroad, she bought the apartment.
MOST OF the residents upstairs and downstairs were former hospital colleagues.
Although it had been many years, since Gu Zhaohan came back, everyone had met again.
After having a meal together, they became familiar once more.
The downstairs neighbor was Dr. Wu, a former anesthesiologist from the neurology department.
Seeing Gu Zhaohan carrying Xia Yangyang in, he was filled with curiosity, “Doctor Gu, finally brought your girlfriend back?”
Even though Gu Zhaohan was no longer practicing medicine.
But everyone couldn’t change the way they addressed him.
Besides, he had become so famous in the medical field abroad over the years.
Gu Zhaohan forced a smile, “No.”
But he didn’t explain any further.
Dr. Wu’s smile carried a hint of mischief, “We know your personality too well. We doctors often have a bit of a psychological cleanliness complex. If she wasn’t your friend, would you be carrying her to your own home?”
By that time, the elevator had reached the floor.
Gu Zhaohan didn’t offer a single word of explanation and just left.
For some reason, when he heard the word “girlfriend,” Gu Zhaohan felt as if there was a thorn in his heart.
He wasn’t afraid of others misunderstanding; in fact, he didn’t even want to clear things up.
It seemed that when others misunderstood, he would experience that momentary illusion.
As if Xia Yangyang was really his girlfriend.
