BXBX NOVEL Chapter 78 - 79: Let’s Get Divorced
On the way, Xia Yangyang and Gu Qichen remained silent.
Xia Yangyang secretly glanced at Gu Qichen’s face in the rearview mirror.
It was so gloomy that it felt suffocating.
Xia Yangyang initially felt a bit guilty, after all, she has a marital relationship with Gu Qichen and she was caught staying over at a stranger’s house.
But when she thought about the night when Gu Qichen didn’t come home, Xia Yangyang felt that, compared to him, her actions weren’t that excessive.
The car drove into Maple Villa and finally stopped at the entrance.
The atmosphere in the car became even more frosty, Xia Yangyang felt as if the air had solidified.
Gu Qichen finally spoke, “Tell me, what exactly happened?”
Xia Yangyang pretended to be confused, “What do you mean?”
Gu Qichen turned his head to look at Xia Yangyang.
Strangely, she felt there was nowhere to hide under his gaze.
Gu Qichen said, “You ran away from home, you stayed in a stranger’s house without telling anyone, and you mingled with Shen Shichuan. How well do you know him to dare to go home with him?”
Xia Yangyang retorted, “I don’t know you that well either, yet I married you.”
In the past, Xia Yangyang would never dare to speak to Gu Qichen like this.
Gu Qichen was evidently infuriated by these words, “Does our marriage mean so little to you?”
Xia Yangyang responded, “It’s mutual.”
Gu Qichen stared at Xia Yangyang for a long time, “Xia Yangyang, do you really want to speak to me this way?”
Xia Yangyang suddenly felt very sad.
She was torn inside, uncertain whether to lay her cards on the table or to tear away the veil between them.
But Xia Yangyang didn’t have the courage.
Perhaps once she did, everything would quickly return to square one.
Xia Yangyang was not ready yet, she just wanted to cool off their relationship for a while.
Xia Yangyang lowered her head, “Gu Qichen, let’s take a break.”
“Why? Just because I didn’t come home to pick you up that night, you’re being so willful.”
Xia Yangyang suddenly felt very aggrieved.
See, Gu Qichen is pretty smart, he can sense her feelings.
But Gu Qichen didn’t know that she went to the hospital that night and overheard his conversation with Shen Manbing.
Or perhaps, Gu Qichen did know, but pretended not to.
Because once it was out in the open, many things would change.
Xia Yangyang admitted that she had become a coward in love.
When Lu Haotian cheated on her with Gong Xue’er, she could decisively sever their ten-year relationship, although it was incredibly painful.
But now, she didn’t even have the guts to be honest.
Because then, she would make a total fool of herself.
What was she, Xia Yangyang, to him? Just a band-aid on Young Master Gu’s love wound?
Xia Yangyang had calmed down, “I’ve already agreed to act in a TV drama during the summer vacation. I’ll be staying in the crew’s dormitory during this time.”
“I won’t allow it.”
“I have already signed the contract.”
“I’ll pay the penalty for breaching the contract.”
Xia Yangyang turned to look at Gu Qichen, “Gu Qichen, this is my choice, my life, you have no right to control me.”
“I’m your husband, if I’m not qualified, who is?”
“It is just a marriage on paper. If you really want to stop me, then let’s get divorced.”
After that sentence was said, everything seemed to suddenly quiet down.
The silence was terrifying..
