Xia Yangyang was jolted back to her senses when Gu Qichen led her to the main hall.
She sensed countless pairs of eyes landing on her.
Those rich, young ladies’ gazes were like flying daggers.
Xia Yangyang was uneasy and she tried to pull her hand away from Gu Qichen’s. He turned and asked, “What happened?”
She answered, “I don’t want to be attacked by an army of women. Let me go.”
Gu Qichen knitted his eyebrows in response, but he still let her hand go.
Xia Yangyang replied, “I’m going off. You go do whatever you have to.”
She just felt that she was in a difficult position. On one hand, she didn’t want to be the focus of everyone’s attention. On the other hand, she didn’t want to watch Gu Qichen chatting with other ladies.
Hence, she decided that she would rather not see anything.
Gu Qichen asked, “Where are you going?”
Xia Yangyang replied, “It’s getting late. I’m going back. I have class tomorrow.”
Gu Qichen fell silent for two seconds. “Wait for me. I’ll go greet someone then I’ll leave with you.”
Xia Yangyang raised her head in surprise. “Can you leave?”
Although today was Old Master Gu’s birthday celebration, everyone knew that the main star was Gu Qichen. This matchmaking session was organized for him. How could he leave before the event ended?
Gu Qichen replied airily, “My wife thinks that it’s boring to be here. What can I possibly do? Accompanying my wife is the most important thing on Earth.”
Xia Yangyang stared at the faint grin on Gu Qichen’s face and her heart thudded.
These casual words that came out from his mouth, had incredibly touched her for some reason.
Gu Qichen said, “Wait for me here. I’ll be back in a minute.”
Indeed, he returned soon. He said to Xia Yangyang, “Follow me.”
Gu Qichen brought Xia Yangyang to the lift and that led them directly to the underground car park. When their car left the driveway, it went roaring down the mountain. All the noise and bustle from the celebration were left behind them.
In the car, Xia Liangdong called her.
Xia Yangyang briefly explained that she had to go back to school and ended the call.
Gu Qichen asked her, “Xia Yangyang, are you hungry?”
Her soul was floating somewhere in space, and she replied without any thought. “No.”
Gu Qichen replied, “Yangyang, I’m hungry.”
Xia Yangyang raised her head and her eyes met his twinkling ones. That expression was too familiar.
Every time Gu Qichen had that expression, it would mean that he wanted to be intimate with her. He would seem to emit masculine charm from head to toe, and he would be exceedingly irresistible.
Xia Yangyang’s heart pounded as her face turned red. “Didn’t we just… I’m too tired today…”
Gu Qichen curled his lips devilishly. “Xia Yangyang, I’m hungry for food. What were you thinking?”
She was left dumbfounded and embarrassed.
What was she thinking of? Gu Qichen had merely mentioned the word hungry, and her mind had flown to something else.
Xia Yangyang was shocked by herself.
Gu Qichen, on the other hand, looked smug and pleased. “Little lustful girl.”
Little lustful girl…
Lustful…
Xia Yangyang’s face was as red as a tomato.
Gu Qichen ceased his teasing. “I’m really starving. Is there any place you can recommend?”
Xia Yangyang was eager to steer the conversation away from this topic. “There is a food street outside my school. Do you want to try this stall that has delicious beef noodles?”
As the words left her lips, she came to the realization that Gu Qichen was picky and particular about the quality of food. He wouldn’t agree to eat at a roadside stall.
