Chapter 119 - 120: Ditch Gu Qichen!
Chen Yu smiled, “You finally remembered.”
Still, Xia Yangyang looked incredulous: “But…but…”
In her memory, Brother Yutou did not look anything like Chen Yu.
Back then at the Saint Orphanage, many children loved to hang around Xia Yangyang.
Yet, whenever they played games, one child sat alone in a corner, refraining from participating or talking.
The other children said this child was autistic.
As a young child, Xia Yangyang did not understand autism and loved to pester him to play.
Chen Yu had short hair back then, which resembled a little yutou, so Xia Yangyang called him ‘Brother Yutou’.
When her mother fell ill, Xia Yangyang visited the orphanage with her less frequently.
Over time, she gradually forgot about the other children in the orphanage.
However, she still remembered Brother Yutou – the taciturn and fair-skinned child.
Xia Yangyang never imagined that Brother Yutou could be Chen Yu.
Their characters were miles apart. Chen Yu was a chatterbox and a celebrity heartthrob. How could he be the quiet Brother Yutou from her memories?
Seeing Xia Yangyang’s unbelievable stare, Chen Yu said, “Can’t you see it? My fans call me ‘Yutou’. The whole world knows that my favourite food is chocolate. At the height of my popularity, I abandoned my former agency to sign up with Starlight. All of this was done because of you.”
Xia Yangyang was still in a daze, struggling to believe him.
Chen Yu reached out and tousled Xia Yangyang’s hair, “It’s okay. I can wait.”
Too many events had happened tonight, leaving Xia Yangyang feeling very confused.
Overwhelmed, she fell asleep instantly and only woke up the next afternoon.
Xia Yangyang picked up her phone to check the time and saw three missed calls from Gu Qichen.
Her heartbeat paused for a moment.
The calls came shortly after the banquet.
Why did Gu Qichen call her?
Xia Yangyang’s first thought was that Gu Qichen intended to divorce her.
Only now did Xia Yangyang realize that their brief marriage was merely a means for Gu Qichen to pressure Shen Manbing to reveal their relationship. Now that the pair had reconciled, Xia Yangyang, being the scapegoat, was likely to be next on the chopping block.
Xia Yangyang stared at her phone for a long time before finally mustering up the courage.
Even if she had to divorce, she should be the one to bring it up, refusing to be played and used as a fool again.
She felt that she had been running away for long enough, that everything that was meant to happen would eventually do so.
Xia Yangyang got up, took a bath, changed into a refreshing dress, and dressed herself up carefully.
Standing in front of the mirror, she looked radiant.
She was going to confront Gu Qichen.
When she left the room, she saw Chen Yu watching TV in the living room.
The TV was broadcasting about the explosive proposal rumors between Gu Qichen and Shen Manbing.
The entertainment host was reporting: “Surprise! The mysterious boyfriend of the pop diva Shen Manbing has turned out to be the CEO of the Shengyuan Group, Gu Qichen. As per the inside sources, the two are currently on vacation at Lake Bay. Shen Manbing appears to have proposed to Gu Qichen in order to surprise him. It appears that the pop diva Shen Manbing’s big day is near. We’ll keep following this story for you…”
Seeing Xia Yangyang coming out, Chen Yu quickly turned off the TV.
Noticing her dressed up neatly, Chen Yu asked in surprise, “You are going out?”
Xia Yangyang simply hummed, walking towards the exit.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to dump Gu Qichen!”
