BXBX NOVEL Chapter 229: 230: Jealousy
Xia Weiwei was almost driven mad with jealousy.
When Gu Qichen handed over the saucer earlier, Xia Weiwei actually thought it was for her.
But Xia Yangyang just looked at the shrimps in front of her, surprised.
What is Gu Qichen doing?
Show favor?
After dinner, Xia Yangyang wanted to go back to her room.
But Gu Qichen, like an imposing Buddha statue, was still sitting on the sofa talking to Xia Liangdong.
Liu Ruyan came over and said to Xia Yangyang, “Yangyang, come and help me cut some fruit.”
Having something to do was good, so Xia Yangyang went to the kitchen.
When she came out, Xia Liangdong was already gone.
Only Xia Weiwei was left, chattering next to Gu Qichen.
It seemed like they were looking at something.
Xia Weiwei was excitedly showing something, leaning her head closer to Gu Qichen.
Xia Yangyang went over to take a look.
Xia Weiwei had surprisingly taken out an old photo album and was flipping through it for Gu Qichen to see.
Gu Qichen appeared to be quite interested.
Xia Yangyang rarely took photos; most of the photos were actually taken when her mother was still alive.
She was very young at that time.
But there were many photos of Xia Weiwei; she had always loved beauty and dressing up since she was a child.
And with Liu Ruyan’s love for photography, most of the photos in the album were of Xia Weiwei, from childhood to adulthood.
As for Xia Yangyang, there were only a handful of photos of her.
Xia Weiwei excitedly explained, “Brother-in-law, look, this is when I was five. Wasn’t I adorable? At that age, my mother even had me shoot a commercial, and I was on the cover of a magazine. This is my middle school graduation photo. I am a little embarrassed to say it, but at that time, I was the school’s beauty queen. There is also this…”
Xia Weiwei chatted on.
But upon lifting her head, she was shocked to find that Gu Qichen hadn’t been listening to her at all.
Gu Qichen was carefully examining a photo in his hand.
That photo was of Xia Yangyang and her mother. It was taken when she was four or five years old, the photo was old and yellowed.
It was simply tucked in between the pages of the album and had fallen out while flipping through the photos.
Gu Qichen had been looking at it for quite a while now.
Xia Weiwei was furious.
Had she just wasted all her words?
Why can’t she ever get this man’s attention?
His gaze always landed on Xia Yangyang, even when it comes to looking at photos.
Xia Weiwei bit her lip and quickly flipped the album.
Finally, she found a photo tucked in a divider.
Xia Weiwei pulled out the photo and pretended to be surprised, “Oh, how is this photo still here? I thought that after my sister broke up with Brother Haotian, she threw away all their photos together. I didn’t expect one would still be hiding here.”
Indeed, Gu Qichen’s attention was attracted by a certain name.
His eyes turned to the photo in Xia Weiwei’s hand.
Xia Weiwei pretended to be panicked, “Brother-in-law, I didn’t mean it. My sister and Brother Haotian were in love for ten years, they had deep feelings. And my sister is someone who cherishes memories. So it’s understandable for her to secretly keep a photo. You must not be angry, I think my sister just wanted to keep a memento, with absolutely no other intentions…”
Gu Qichen’s gaze stayed on that photo.
In the photo, the young boy and girl leaned their heads together, their faces were all radiant with brilliant smiles, they looked vibrant, full of youthful exuberance.
Xia Yangyang at that time had a very sweet smile, like a bright and dazzling winter jasmine in spring.
The young boy’s eyes were fixed on her face, filled with love…
