Chapter 1455: Chapter 1359: It Seems You Have Some Misunderstanding About Me

But suddenly, she gave Gu Qichen an angry glare, her expression full of hesitation as though she wanted to say something but stopped.

Gu Qichen took a sip of soup and said calmly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xia Yangyang spoke up, "Gu Qichen, let me put it plainly. Honestly, whoever you like or want to be with in the future has nothing to do with me. But your taste is truly awful. That Shao Tiantian—aside from her sweet-looking face—leaves much to be desired in every other aspect. Could you men stop being so superficial in your aesthetic? Is this world really entirely about appearances?"

Xia Yangyang was reminded of many things from before.

And so she decided to vent all those frustrations onto Gu Qichen.

However, Gu Qichen wasn’t the least bit upset after hearing her out.

Perhaps the lighting in the room was just too soft.

To Xia Yangyang’s surprise, she caught a hint of a gentle smile at the corner of Gu Qichen’s lips.

Even his voice became a lot softer: "Yes, my taste is just that shallow."

That one sentence nearly infuriated Xia Yangyang.

So Gu Qichen really did have feelings for Shao Tiantian.

No wonder he had given her a place to stay and even gifted her food vouchers.

But since the other party had openly admitted it, what more could she say?

Fuming, Xia Yangyang stuffed a big mouthful of rice into her mouth.

"Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been interested in you back then."

The rice Xia Yangyang had just put in her mouth got stuck before she could swallow it.

She suddenly started coughing violently.

Gu Qichen frowned, walked over, and patted her back lightly.

Xia Yangyang drank a few sips of water and finally caught her breath.

She didn’t know whether it was because of Gu Qichen’s words or the lack of oxygen from choking,

but her face flushed bright red in an instant.

Once she’d recovered, Xia Yangyang’s expression shifted to one of serious composure.

Gu Qichen said, "It seems like you’ve misunderstood me."

Xia Yangyang looked puzzled: "What misunderstanding?"

Gu Qichen explained, "I’m not the least bit interested in women like Shao Tiantian."

Xia Yangyang hadn’t expected Gu Qichen to say that.

Though logically, she knew it had little to do with her.

And she shouldn’t have overstepped boundaries or meddled in Gu Qichen’s personal life.

Still, Xia Yangyang couldn’t help but say, "But you gave her the best room, Room 1, and even handed her food vouchers."

If he claimed to have no ulterior motives, who’d believe him?

Back then, Gu Qichen hadn’t even discussed it and had directly given Shao Tiantian the room.

Gu Qichen clarified, "I didn’t do it for her at all. I did it for Xingxing."

"Xingxing?"

"Xingxing grew up in the herbal residence due to her poor health and unique constitution. If she truly lived in a house as drafty as ours, she’d fall ill. As for the food vouchers, those were for things Xingxing could eat. I couldn’t let the child go hungry, could I? Aside from that, have I been particularly nice to her in any way?"

When Xia Yangyang thought about it carefully, she found Gu Qichen’s reasoning made sense.

If Gu Qichen hadn’t acted proactively back then, Xia Yangyang might have done something similar herself.

It was just that Gu Qichen had made the decision without saying a word, giving Xia Yangyang the impression that he was favoring Shao Tiantian.

Looking back, Gu Qichen’s attitude toward Shao Tiantian always seemed cold and indifferent.

Most of the time, it was Shao Tiantian actively seeking Gu Qichen’s attention, throwing herself at him.

There were few, if any, instances where Gu Qichen had taken the initiative to seek Shao Tiantian out.

For some reason, Gu Qichen’s explanation made Xia Yangyang feel much more at ease.
