Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage

Chapter 477: Chapter 478: Want to lure her to deliver herself

After dinner…

Shen Shichuan initially intended to send Xia Yangyang home.

But they had not expected Shen Manbing to be recognized by fans as she left.

The two of them were surrounded.

Xia Yangyang left slowly, thus managing to sneak away.

Xia Yangyang sent a message to Shen Shichuan, asking him to send Shen Manbing home first.

The two of them finally managed to get away.

Only after a group of reporters followed them did Xia Yangyang leisurely exit the hotel.

She hailed a cab, planning on returning to the Xia Family villa.

But the cab just happened to pass by the Maple Villa community gate.

As if possessed, Xia Yangyang shouted for the cab to stop.

Xia Yangyang got out of the car.

Even she didn’t know why she decided to get out.

Her mind was filled with the words Shen Manbing had just said.

She had said that Gu Qichen has been heavily drinking at home recently.

About how dire it was, how debauched…

As if he could drop dead at any moment.

Worry was ultimately lingering in Xia Yangyang’s heart.

Xia Yangyang wanted to go in.

But she went in and out several times, still unable to make up her mind.

They had already divorced.

Now, she didn’t even have the right to enter Maple Villa anymore.

But wasn’t she leaving soon?

About to take off to a far-off foreign land, unsure of when she would return.

Xia Yangyang really wanted to see Gu Qichen’s face.

Xia Yangyang knew this longing was dangerous.

Everything was ultimately severed by her own hand.

Now that she had finally cut all connections, why stir up trouble for herself again?

But, Xia Yangyang couldn’t stop herself in the end.

Maybe it was because they were about to part ways.

Or maybe because the moon was full tonight.

Xia Yangyang felt as if she was under some sort of spell.

In the end, Xia Yangyang went to Maple Villa.

Maple Villa had a fingerprint lock.

Perhaps Gu Qichen hadn’t had time to change the lock after their divorce.

Xia Yangyang walked right in.

Inside, the light in Maple Villa was dim.

Xia Yangyang thought that perhaps Gu Qichen wasn’t there.

She told herself that she was just here to gather her things.

The belongings she left untouched when she left.

Since they had split, she naturally needed to take away her personal items.

With this excuse in mind, Xia Yangyang felt much more confident.

In the end, she went straight in.

Xia Yangyang was familiar with everything in the house.

So, even without turning on the lights, she could walk upstairs.

Each step Xia Yangyang took, her heart pounded harder.

Would Gu Qichen be in his room?

Shen Manbing had said that he was drunk every day.

If she just took a look, he wouldn’t notice right?

Once this idea crossed her mind, it seemed unstoppable.

In the end, her feet still led her towards the direction of the bedroom.

As she reached the door, Xia Yangyang felt like her heart had stopped beating.

She told herself.

She would only take a glance. As long as she was sure Gu Qichen was okay, she would leave. Immediately.

Xia Yangyang opened the door of the room in the end.

She tiptoed in, not daring to make any sound.

The room was dark.

But the shining outside light was bright, the moonlight through the floor to ceiling windows blanketed the bed.

The bed was neatly made, unoccupied.

Xia Yangyang’s heart missed a beat.

She hastily hit the light switch.

The room instantly lit up.

Xia Yangyang entered, there was no one in the room.

In other words, Gu Qichen was not at home.

Shen Manbing had insisted that he had not left the house recently, spending every day in a drunken haze.

Xia Yangyang looked at the bedroom, clean and tidy, spotless.

In Gu Qichen’s style.

Xia Yangyang was unable to tell whether she felt relieved or somewhat disappointed.

Perhaps it was a divine arrangement, not allowing them to have this final meeting.

Xia Yangyang stood in the room for a while.

She turned around, planning to leave.

But as she turned, she saw a tall figure at the doorway, and a handsome but thin face.

It was Gu Qichen…

Xia Yangyang got a real fright.

She reflexively froze.

Gu Qichen stood there, dressed in formal attire.

He obviously just returned from the office.

Although Gu Qichen looked a little thinner, he was still refined, with bright eyes.

There wasn’t the slightest hint of the desolation Shen Manbing had described.

Only then did Xia Yangyang understand, perhaps Shen Manbing purposely said those things, hoping to lure her to come on her own.
