Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage-Chapter 855 - 856: More Uncomfortable Than Being Jealous
Chapter 855 -856: More Uncomfortable Than Being Jealous
Gu Zhaohan said, “You don’t need to thank me. Xia Ye is the focus of all my efforts, and I want him to be able to live like a normal child more than anyone else. However, the dosage of this new drug has changed from before, and although I wasn’t involved in that part, I have studied the various component ratios. To tell the truth, if it were up to me, I wouldn’t agree to such a change. Pay close attention to Xia Ye’s condition, and if anything seems amiss, call me right away.”
With Gu Zhaohan saying this, Xia Yangyang’s heart squeezed in an instant, “Okay, I understand.”
Gu Zhaohan got out of the car and went upstairs.
Xia Yangyang stayed downstairs for a while, then drove away.
Xia Yangyang checked the time; it was already nine-thirty.
These days, Gu Qichen had been coming back very late.
He had been exceedingly busy.
He often had meetings that lasted until late at night.
Xia Yangyang sent Gu Qichen a message [When will you get off work]
After waiting a long while, there was no reply from Gu Qichen.
Xia Yangyang figured Gu Qichen must be busy and was afraid to disturb him with a call, so in the end, she didn’t make one.
However, Xia Yangyang directly drove to the Shengyuan Building.
Since her work had gotten back on track, Xia Yangyang hadn’t been here for quite some time.
Because it was after working hours.
There were clearly fewer people inside the Shengyuan Building than during the day.
But the entire building was still brightly lit.
Xia Yangyang went straight upstairs, planning to wait for Gu Qichen in his office.
When passing through the secretarial office, it was already empty.
Xia Yangyang tiptoed, hoping to surprise Gu Qichen.
From afar, she saw that the door to Gu Qichen’s office was half-open.
Light spilled out from inside.
Xia Yangyang had intended to push the door and enter.
But she saw two figures in the office.
Gu Qichen and Xi Zijun.
Gu Qichen’s office had a massive floor-to-ceiling glass window.

Standing there, one could overlook the entire city.
Especially at night, there was always the illusion of standing above the clouds.
And at that moment.
Gu Qichen and Xi Zijun were standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
They each held a glass of red wine in their hands.
The two weren’t working.
They just stood shoulder to shoulder like that.
Xia Yangyang had wanted to go in.
But in the end, she stopped in her tracks.
She couldn’t even explain why to herself.
But looking at the silhouettes over there, clinking their glasses, sipping red wine,
Sharing their personal matters with each other.
Xia Yangyang suddenly felt that those two belonged to the same world.
Xi Zijun, standing by Gu Qichen’s side, seemed like a queen accompanying him in surveying the world below.
Xia Yangyang couldn’t quite describe her feelings.
It wasn’t jealousy.
It was a feeling more distressing than jealousy.
Because Xia Yangyang could genuinely sense that in Gu Qichen’s heart, he wasn’t entirely unreserved towards her.
He reserved a special place in his heart, a spot meant for Xi Zijun to inhabit.
He said they weren’t lovers, not friends, but comrades in arms, allies.
It was this elevation beyond mere friendship into something more profound that made Xia Yangyang feel violated.
Xi Zijun had clearly stated her position before.
She seemed so magnanimous, composed, and excellent.
Xia Yangyang knew she shouldn’t attribute malice where there was none.
But seeing such a perfectly matched pair of silhouettes over there, it felt like a thorn had lodged in her heart.
Xia Yangyang eventually didn’t go inside.
Instead, she turned and left.
Xia Yangyang left the office building and hadn’t yet gotten into her car,
When she heard a ‘ding’ from her phone.
It was the sound of a message reply.
Xia Yangyang took out her phone and looked.
It was a reply from Gu Qichen.
The message was short, just three words [Working overtime].
But those three words felt like a bucket of cold water poured over Xia Yangyang’s heart.
Overtime?
Drinking red wine, talking about life? Is that his so-called overtime?
And these days, with Gu Qichen working overtime night after night, was it also like this?
