Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage-Chapter 856 - 857: Reconciliation
Chapter 856 -857: Reconciliation
Xia Yangyang got into the car.
But she sat in the car for a long time before leaving.
At night, Xia Yangyang lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
She stared at the antique wall clock.
Time trickled away by the second.
Gu Qichen finally came back at one in the morning.
Xia Yangyang heard the sound of the bedroom door opening.
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.
Xia Yangyang quickly closed her eyes.
Gu Qichen entered without turning on the light.
His footsteps were almost soundless.
But Xia Yangyang could feel him approaching her step by step.
Xia Yangyang pretended to be sound asleep.
She could even sense that Gu Qichen’s gaze had fallen on her.
The scent of alcohol on him grew stronger and stronger.
Gu Qichen’s eyes were indeed fixed on Xia Yangyang’s face.
The room was dark.
But the curtains had not been drawn.
The moonlight tonight was splendid.
Through the moonlight,
Gu Qichen saw Xia Yangyang’s sleeping face.
This face really hadn’t changed at all.
Xia Yangyang’s skin was exceptionally good, and under the moonlight, it looked like a peeled egg, tender like a child’s, always tempting one to pinch and kiss it.
But at this moment, as Gu Qichen looked at such a face, he only felt heartache.
For the past four years, what he had longed for night and day was just this scene.
To be able to see such a sleeping face every day when he returned from the company.
It had been so long, and sometimes when he saw Xia Yangyang, he would still feel stunned.
It felt so real that it scared him a bit.
She had come back, but had her heart returned completely?
After all, he had been absent for four years.
So during this time, he had been utterly compliant to Xia Yangyang, doting to the extreme.
He dared not to appear too petty, nor reveal his true feelings.
Seeing her with Gu Zhaohan, he had to pretend to be magnanimous, saying he understood her.
But that wasn’t what he truly felt.
Every time he saw her with Gu Zhaohan, even just exchanging words, his blood would boil.
His heart felt like it was being gnawed on by countless ants.
He was jealous.
Jealous of the years they had spent together in the United States.
Although Xia Yangyang was by his side, the sense of threat never vanished.
Gu Qichen felt as if he had a premonition.
A foreboding that the nightmare would repeat itself.
Especially tonight, seeing Xia Yangyang laughing and talking with Gu Zhaohan, Gu Qichen felt he could no longer restrain himself.
Gu Zhaohan’s intentions were now clear as day, and his honesty was almost admirable.
He must be confident, which is why he was so forthcoming.
Yet, the relationship between Xia Yangyang and him was complex, but inseverable, which was what tormented Gu Qichen the most.
If the affection between him and Xia Yangyang were a tree, no matter what shape the tree grew into, even if robust and towering, Gu Zhaohan’s appearance would always be the saw, leaving marks on the trunk.
He didn’t know if one day the tree would be sawn down.
Gu Qichen’s fingers tightened, and he ultimately let out a heavy sigh.
Then, he turned and headed for the bathroom to shower.
Only after hearing the sound of water in the bathroom did Xia Yangyang open her eyes.
Gu Qichen had something on his mind, Xia Yangyang could feel it.
Xia Yangyang always felt that Gu Qichen was a bit different from before.
Reencountering, conflicts, struggles, reconciliations.
On the surface, the two of them seemed to have reconciled just like before.
But a mirror reforged still bears the cracks.
So, this time, they were both being even more cautious in handling their relationship.
But inevitably, there were still reservations between them…
When Gu Qichen came out after his shower, Xia Yangyang was standing at the bathroom doorway.
Wearing a thin silk nightgown.
The nightgown was a gift from Shen Manbing four years ago, which Xia Yangyang found too revealing and had never worn.
The moment Gu Qichen opened the door and saw Xia Yangyang, he paused abruptly.
Xia Yangyang took advantage of Gu Qichen’s momentary pause, stepped forward, and went on her tiptoes to kiss him…
