Chapter 461: Chapter 462: Wife, I Miss You

The night is tranquil.

Xia Yangyang is sitting alone on the sofa chair in the room.

She seems to be enveloped in the darkness of the night.

This is Maple Villa.

Xia Yangyang has not been here for quite some time.

Now it is already two o’clock in the morning.

But Gu Qichen has not returned yet.

Xia Yangyang does not know where Gu Qichen has gone.

It seems a lot has happened today.

From confirming her pregnancy to meeting Xi Zijun.

To designing the plan to catch Xia Weiwei cheating.

And in the end, learning about the shocking secret of the Gu Family.

Xia Yangyang feels completely drained.

Xia Yangyang doesn’t know why she came back.

Maybe she really is homeless.

Liu Ruyan and her daughter have not moved out yet, they must be going back to the Xia residence today.

Such a drama has already occurred tonight.

Xia Yangyang doesn’t want to engage in another exhausting battle.

The reason she came here is because she knew that recently Gu Qichen had been staying in the Gu’s residence.

It’s said that the health of the old master of the Gu Family has been deteriorating recently.

Xia Yangyang’s hand unknowingly rested on her lower abdomen.

There’s a small life growing inside.

Xia Yangyang knows she must take care of her health and cannot stay up late.

But she doesn’t feel sleepy at all.

She doesn’t know how long she has been sitting on the sofa.

Just then, the door of the room suddenly opened.

A figure emerged from the darkness.

Xia Yangyang was startled.

But she instantly recognized him. It was Gu Qichen.

Gu Qichen didn’t switch on the light.

He came straight in.

When he entered, the room was filled with a strong smell of alcohol.

Xia Yangyang knows that Gu Qichen has a high alcohol tolerance, Shen Shichuan and others even nicknamed him the “Thousand Cups Drunk”.

But seeing Gu Qichen’s staggering walk…

He seemed to be heavily drunk.

How much alcohol did he consume?

Gu Qichen appeared to be heading towards the bathroom.

While walking, he was undressing.

But suddenly, he spotted a figure on the sofa.

His pace abruptly stopped for a moment.

The two of them stared at each other in the darkness for a full two minutes.

Both of them resembled statues.

In reality, they couldn’t see each other’s faces clearly.

There was no light in the room and the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were tightly drawn.

But at this moment, Xia Yangyang seemed to imagine Gu Qichen’s shocked expression.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Gu Qichen walked over.

Like a child, he nestled into Xia Yangyang’s arms: “Wife, I’ve missed you.”

The word “wife” almost brought Xia Yangyang to tears.

But Gu Qichen just sprawled on the sofa.

The sofa was small.

His hands and feet didn’t fit properly and he had to curl up his body.

His head rested on Xia Yangyang’s thighs.

He was just like a child.

Xia Yangyang sat there, statuesque.

She didn’t expect Gu Qichen would return this late.

The air was filled with a strong smell of alcohol.

Gu Qichen lay on Xia Yangyang’s legs, seeming very content.

It didn’t take long for him to fall asleep.

Finally, Xia Yangyang slowly reached out her hand, lightly touching Gu Qichen’s face.

His chin had stubble on it.

Gu Qichen is such a person who cares a lot about his appearance.

In the past, Xia Yangyang would always tease him about living in a glass dome where not a speck of dust was allowed.

But now, Xia Yangyang barely recognized him.

Even if she couldn’t see his face clearly, Xia Yangyang could feel that this man had lost a lot of weight.

He must have had a hard time these days.

Xia Yangyang felt an inexplicable sadness.

It’s been many days since she had seen him and had a proper conversation.

During these days, she made herself ruthless, turning into a sharp sword that hurt him relentlessly.

But, didn’t she also want to cut off her own feelings?

She didn’t dare to relax for a moment, she was like a tightly pulled string.

Because Xia Yangyang knew that once she softened her heart, she would never be able to leave him again.
