BXBX NOVEL Chapter 71 - 72: If this isn’t your revenge on me, then what is it?
Xia Yangyang slept all afternoon, and so did Gu Qichen.
Xia Yangyang laid in bed listlessly staring at the ceiling. In everyone else’s eyes, Gu Qichen was untouchable, refined and aloof, rumors even spread around.
Gu Qichen apparently didn’t like women, he was pure and lacked desires!
What pure and desire-free nonsense!
Nevertheless, Xia Yangyang’s mood had improved significantly.
Perhaps she had just been overthinking it.
The restaurant chosen by Gu Qichen was a private French one, usually a haunt for celebrities and politicians.
Xia Yangyang was actually rather nervous.
Firstly, it was Gu Qichen’s first time taking her to meet his friends. Second, Shen Manbing was no ordinary person, she was a diva with innate commanding energy.
However, Xia Yangyang was still pretty excited.
That feeling, it was as if she was transitioning into Gu Qichen’s life.
Their marriage was a secret. Xia Yangyang was afraid of someone finding out, she never thought about how this marriage will end.
But now, her mindset had gradually changed.
When Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen arrived at the restaurant, Shen Manbing hadn’t shown up yet.
After waiting for a while, Gu Qichen received a phone call.
It was Shen Manbing’s agent.
Xia Yangyang vaguely heard words like ‘car accident’ and ‘rear-end’.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Qichen’s expression had turned very solemn.
Gu Qichen said to Xia Yangyang, “Shen Manbing had a car accident on the way here and she’s now in the hospital. I have to go and see her.”
Xia Yangyang promptly said, “I’ll go with you.”
Gu Qichen replied, “It’s not too serious, you’d better stay here. Have something to eat, I’ll come back to pick you up, it won’t be for long.”
Xia Yangyang thought about it, if she appears publicly in the hospital with Gu Qichen, it might cause a lot of controversies.
So she nodded her head and said, “Alright, I’ll wait for you here.”
Gu Qichen left, and Xia Yangyang just stayed there.
Food started flooding the table dish after dish, all were delicious delicacies.
Yet, Xia Yangyang just sat there all alone, the waiter’s gaze was slightly strange.
Xia Yangyang didn’t touch her chopsticks, she packed several main courses to take away.
In the end, Xia Yangyang couldn’t put her mind at ease and took a taxi to the hospital.
She had good hearing, when Gu Qichen was on the call earlier, she heard the name of the hospital and the room number of the ward.
Soon she arrived at the hospital and went directly to the inpatient department.
It was in the VIP ward where there were not many people, it was very quiet.
The whole floor of Shen Manbing’s ward was empty.
Xia Yangyang stood outside the ward’s door, hesitating.
Just as Xia Yangyang wanted to knock, the door opened and a nurse stepped out. After looking at Xia Yangyang’s takeaway box, she said “You must be Miss Shen’s assistant, go ahead, just remember not to give her any greasy food.” After saying that, the nurse left.
The door of the ward remained open.
The inside of the ward was spacious, like a presidential suite.
Xia Yangyang slowly walked in, and from the bedroom, she could hear Gu Qichen’s voice, “Manbing, don’t play these tricks. I thought I’d made things clear the other day”
Shen Manbing’s voice came from inside, “How am I supposed to believe what you say, you and a twenty-year-old girl got a marriage license? Gu Qichen, are you trying to get back at me?”
“I am not getting back at you. I got married, that’s the truth.”
“Gu Qichen, having a career in Hollywood was my dream since childhood. I’ve said I’ll take at most two years. After two years, I am confident I’ll win the Oscar for Best Actress.”
“That’s your choice, it has nothing to do with me.”
“What about your choice? Is it because you proposed to me and I rejected you, that hurt your CEO’s ego so you married a young girl? If this isn’t getting back at me, then what is it?”
