Chapter 1473: Chapter 1377: What if I Really Did Have an Affair?

But when it came to Gu Qichen, Xia Yangyang was completely different.

Xia Yangyang didn’t reject him at all.

The memories felt unfamiliar when it came to him.

At first, Xia Yangyang was even slightly afraid.

Yet, deep down in her heart, she couldn’t help but feel an intense curiosity about this man.

Even though he seemed dangerous, she still couldn’t resist inching closer to take a better look.

This wasn’t because Xia Yangyang was aware of her marriage to Gu Qichen.

Rather, the more Xia Yangyang interacted with Gu Qichen, the stronger her curiosity grew about him.

Gu Qichen seemed to have a mysterious aura that constantly attracted her.

Gu Qichen, much like Lu Haotian, was deeply enigmatic.

He was like a bottomless ocean—profound and impossible to fathom.

But Xia Yangyang found herself irresistibly drawn to this kind of profoundness.

And now Xia Yangyang had no choice but to admit it.

She had genuinely fallen for this man.

Therefore, regardless of the reasoning, Xia Yangyang was determined to speak up.

Even though Lu Haotian claimed that Gu Qichen was unaware of her infidelity with him.

Xia Yangyang initially hadn’t planned on bringing it up.

But now, she realized that endlessly agonizing over it wouldn’t solve anything.

It would be better to just say it out loud.

No matter what happens, it could only lead to two outcomes.

Either Lu Haotian was lying, or the claim was true, in which case a man like Gu Qichen would surely be unable to tolerate it.

If that were the case, he would undoubtedly choose to distance himself.

Regardless of the outcome, it would save Xia Yangyang the trouble of having to make a decision herself.

Xia Yangyang felt as though this matter was like a knife lodged in her heart.

Rather than keeping it buried, it would be better to rip it out in one swift stroke.

Xia Yangyang stared fixedly into Gu Qichen’s eyes.

She wanted to capture even the subtlest emotion on his face when he learned the truth.

What would this man’s reaction be upon discovering his wife’s betrayal?

Shock? Anger? Disgust? Humiliation?

But none of the emotions Xia Yangyang had anticipated appeared in Gu Qichen’s eyes.

Instead, a look of sudden realization surfaced on his face.

It was as if Gu Qichen had finally figured something out.

Gu Qichen spoke up, "So that’s what Lu Haotian said to you. He truly is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. To even use such despicable tactics—now it all makes sense. No wonder you’ve been refusing to return to me. So that’s how it is."

Gu Qichen suddenly burst into laughter right in front of Xia Yangyang.

It was the kind of carefree laugh that comes with solving a deep-seated puzzle.

Xia Yangyang hadn’t expected such a reaction from Gu Qichen at all.

Gu Qichen turned around, laughing so hard that his entire body bent over.

Xia Yangyang, however, didn’t find it funny in the least.

Frowning, Xia Yangyang asked, "What exactly are you talking about?"

Gu Qichen finally restrained his laughter and replied, "Yangyang, he’s lying to you—or rather, he’s manipulating you. He’s trying to exploit your feelings of guilt and internal conflict to drive you away from me. Lu Haotian is nothing more than a disgraceful fraud. To take you away, he even came up with such a shameless excuse."

A trace of anger finally appeared on Gu Qichen’s face.

The air around him seemed to harden and grow cold in an instant.

Xia Yangyang found his words puzzling.

Gu Qichen was so quick to claim that Lu Haotian was deceiving her.

He didn’t seem to entertain even the slightest doubt about it.

Xia Yangyang asked, "Don’t you even consider the possibility that this could be true? What if he’s right? What if I really did cheat on you?"
