Chapter 1486: Chapter 1390: He, Approaching Head-on...

After dinner, everyone lingered in the dining room to chat.

The men were talking about the market, stocks, and the global real estate scene.

Meanwhile, Lu Haotian and Gong Xue’er stood alone on the balcony, speaking privately.

It seemed like the two of them were having a bit of an argument.

Eventually, Lu Haotian came back inside first.

At this moment, Lu Yao and Li Wenwen were surrounding Xia Yangyang, gossiping.

Lu Yao asked, "Yangyang, what’s the relationship between you and Mr. Lu? You two seem pretty close."

Xia Yangyang replied, "We’re childhood friends."

Xia Yangyang could only say this, as it wasn’t technically a lie.

Li Wenwen commented, "So you’re childhood sweethearts—what about Mr. Lu and Miss Gong then? What’s their story? I can’t figure them out. Miss Gong and Mr. Lu seem so strange together, nowhere near as natural as you and Mr. Lu. And Mr. Lu seems so clueless about this show recording process."

Xia Yangyang had noticed it too.

Maybe Li Wenwen was right.

Based on Xia Yangyang’s understanding of Gong Xue’er.

Lu Haotian’s sudden appearance probably had nothing to do with the show recording.

It was just that when Lu Haotian arrived, he walked straight into an elaborate setup.

Gong Xue’er’s specialty was cutting ahead of everyone else, leaving you with no choice.

Xia Yangyang forced a smile and said, "I don’t know."

After all, this was someone else’s private matter. Li Wenwen realized she might be asking too much and quieted down.

Gu Qichen approached Xia Yangyang and said, "Xia Ye has fallen asleep, let’s head home."

Xia Yangyang, who didn’t really want to stay any longer, stood up and said, "I’ll head back now."

Xia Yangyang left with Gu Qichen.

The hallway was carpeted throughout.

Walking on it, no footsteps could be heard.

As Xia Yangyang walked, she seemed lost in thought.

Gu Qichen carried Xia Ye over his shoulder with one hand, and with the other, he suddenly reached out to hold Xia Yangyang’s hand.

Xia Yangyang was stunned for a moment.

She tried to pull her hand out of Gu Qichen’s grip.

However, Gu Qichen held her hand even tighter.

Xia Yangyang looked up.

Gu Qichen asked, "The mere appearance of Lu Haotian has unsettled you this much?"

Gu Qichen spoke with a calm tone, seemingly unbothered.

Xia Yangyang denied it, "No..."

"No? Ever since your Brother Haotian showed up, it’s like your soul isn’t with you anymore."

Xia Yangyang didn’t respond.

Honestly, Xia Yangyang didn’t know what Gong Xue’er was trying to accomplish.

Why did she bring Lu Haotian here?

Was it purely to provoke her?

Or was it an opportunity to reveal her relationship with Lu Haotian?

"Yangyang, do you remember what you said before?"

Gu Qichen suddenly spoke.

Xia Yangyang was momentarily blank: "I said something?"

"You said you needed to confirm something. If you found out that Lu Haotian had been deceiving you all along, sabotaging our marriage and simply trying to take you away from me, once you had your answer, you’d come back to me."

Xia Yangyang had indeed said this.

And that was exactly her intent.

If she and Gu Qichen had truly been in love, in a perfect marriage.

If Lu Haotian had been lying to her all along.

Then she couldn’t possibly leave with Lu Haotian.

Even if she couldn’t remember, this was her family, and she couldn’t bear to leave Xia Ye.

Xia Yangyang quietly murmured, "Yes."

Gu Qichen said, "I think now is a perfect opportunity."

Gu Qichen stopped in his tracks suddenly.

Xia Yangyang was slightly stunned and lifted her head to see Lu Haotian walking down the hallway toward them...
