Chapter 58: Chapter 59: Are You Afraid of Me?

Translator: 549690339

Xia Yangyang had never doubted that she was in love with Lu Haotian in the past.

They were childhood friends, with a history of ten years.

But at this moment, Xia Yangyang couldn’t find the words. After a long pause, she finally said, “I don’t know…”

Lu Haotian seemed to have something extinguished in his eyes. “Because of Gu Qichen?”

Xia Yangyang admitted honestly, “Yes, Lu Haotian, we can’t go back. Forget me and start over.”

Lu Haotian turned away.

Xia Yangyang watched as his shoulders trembled slightly, his hand clenched into a fist.

Xia Yangyang felt extremely saddened.

Tears fell unconsciously.

Xia Yangyang said, “I’m sorry, Haotian.”

With a choke in his voice, Lu Haotian said, “It was I who lost you. It’s my fault, Yangyang, you must be happy from now on. Goodbye.”

Lu Haotian moved further away.

Xia Yangyang watched his figure disappearing into the darkness bit by bit. Xia Yangyang could feel the boy, to whom she had given ten years of affection, being stripped away from her life bit by bit by fate.

Ten years, they had had disagreements and break ups.

But Xia Yangyang knew, this time, it was a complete separation.

Xia Yangyang broke down, crying uncontrollably in the darkness.

Xia Yangyang didn’t know how long she cried, until the soft voice of Gu Qichen came from beside her.

Gu Qichen said, “Xia Yangyang, I am also human. Seeing you in such pain, I feel jealous too.”

Xia Yangyang raised her head, and amidst her blurred vision, she saw Gu Qichen offer her a gray checkered handkerchief. Sёarᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Xia Yangyang took it, wiped her tears, and then lowered her head, remaining silent.

Gu Qichen said, “I know you two had deep feelings, but parting is a compulsory lesson in growth. You met the wrong person at the right time, like him. Such a mistake must be corrected sooner or later, so you met me now.”

Xia Yangyang stopped crying, a trace of confusion in her eyes. “How do you know that you are the right person at the right time?”

Gu Qichen said, “Because I won’t let you cry.”

After a while, Gu Qichen added, “Of course, unless it’s in bed.”

Xia Yangyang was taken aback, then reacted. She blushed and moved to hit him.

She was so upset, and he was still in the mood to flirt.

But after Gu Qichen’s jest, Xia Yangyang felt much calmer.

Gu Qichen was right, separation is a compulsory course in growth. Like her mother’s death, like tearing Lu Haotian from her life, she must keep moving forward.

After Xia Yangyang was completely calm, she asked, “How did you discover Gong Xue’er’s secret, get the recording, and even manage to play it publicly at the wedding reception?”

Gu Qichen answered, “It’s not difficult. If she were truly pregnant, her own wits should’ve told her that the eldest son of the Lu family is more valuable than framing you. Following this trail, it’s easy to find it out quickly. In fact, there wasn’t a recording. I had someone make one based on Zhong Jianxin’s descriptions. As for airing it during the wedding, it was even simpler. I got a hacker to take over the wedding arranging computer system.”

Xia Yangyang was dumbfounded, “The recording was forged by you?”

“Although the recording was forged, the content was not. I’ve said before, the best way to deal with people like Gong Xue’er is to offload her misdeeds onto her. Since she tried to trick you for three consecutive times, she should taste the same feeling.”

When Gu Qichen said these words, his voice was still calm. But Xia Yangyang felt a chill down her spine.

In fact, Gu Qichen had already investigated everything clearly, and this matter could have been solved privately.

But Gu Qichen waited until today, at Gong Xue’er’s engagement party. With this announcement, Gong Xue’er was ruined forever.

Xia Yangyang said, “Gu Qichen, I realize that I must never cross you, you are too ruthless.”

Gu Qichen glanced at Xia Yangyang casually, “Are you scared of me?”
