She felt an inexplicable complexity in her emotions.

When Xia Yangyang held Gu Qichen’s gaze, she quickly averted her eyes out of guilt.

Speaking in a low voice, Xia Yangyang asked, “Ah Chen, what if one day, we have to part ways?”

Gu Qichen knitted his brows in response.

He abruptly hit the brakes and pulled over to the side of the road.

Xia Yangyang was taken aback, “What’s wrong?”

With a serious countenance, Gu Qichen replied, “Yangyang, never utter such words again, and don’t even think like that. We are married; we are one. I don’t plan on divorcing in this lifetime, and you better not either.”

Xia Yangyang was rather frightened by Gu Qichen’s icy serious reaction, she stammered, “I… I was just kidding.”

Gu Qichen stared into Xia Yangyang’s eyes and then he leaned over, pressed his lips onto hers, cupped her face with both hands. His voice, however, turned much softer, “Don’t make that kind of joke again, understood?”

Xia Yangyang was lost for words.

She nodded in a daze.

Only then did Gu Qichen let go of Xia Yangyang and merged back into the city’s traffic.

“I’ll take you home first, I have to go pick up my sister from the airport later.”

Xia Yangyang immediately snapped back to reality, “Is she returning from Sea City today?”

“Yangyang, tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, of course she would return to celebrate it with everyone.”

Speaking of which, it had been nearly two months since Xia Yangyang last saw Gu Mingzhu.

Xia Yangyang suggested, “Let me go with you to pick her up.”

“No need, her flight might be delayed. It’s late, you should go home and rest,” Gu Qichen replied.

Xia Yangyang didn’t insist.

For Xia Yangyang knew a resolution was in order upon her reunion with Gu Mingzhu.

But she couldn’t imagine what would happen to their respective relationships with Gu Qichen after this resolution.

She had been putting it off for such a long time.

In her heart, she justified it with the excuse of Gu Mingzhu’s absence.

Actually, she was just unwilling to confront it.

But the day arrived nonetheless.

Xia Yangyang returned to Maple Villa first.

Gu Qichen then headed for the airport.

The Gu Family did have a dedicated driver.

But whenever Gu Mingzhu returned from a business trip, Gu Qichen, however busy, would always personally pick her up.

Their siblings’ relationship was extraordinarily good.

This was precisely why Xia Yangyang was torn.

That night, Xia Yangyang had a restless sleep.

Gu Qichen returned around 2 a.m.

Xia Yangyang was still awake at that time.

Groggily, she turned on the light, “You’re home?”

Gu Qichen squatted down and gently kissed her hair, “Why are you still up?”

“I can’t sleep.”

Gu Qichen smiled, “Is it because I wasn’t by your side?”

Uncharacteristically, Xia Yangyang nodded, “I want to fall asleep in your arms.”

Gu Qichen was surprised to see Xia Yangyang behaving childishly.

After showering, he took Xia Yangyang into his arms, “Honestly, I don’t know what you would do without me, my dear.”

It was initially a casual joke.

However, Xia Yangyang felt like crying for no reason.

Indeed, what would she do without Gu Qichen?

Xia Yangyang curled up into Gu Qichen’s arms, closed her eyes, and silently began to cry.

Presumably, Gu Qichen fell asleep due to exhaustion.

Xia Yangyang, however, couldn’t sleep. She lay looking at the face of the sleeping Gu Qichen.

It felt as if she hadn’t had a good look at him in a long while.

That man was still as good-looking as ever, enough to turn the world upside down.
