Chapter 590: Chapter 591: Parting Today, Will Never Meet Again

Xia Yangyang was really struggling under the grip of Gu Qichen.

She could even hear the sound of bones creaking.

But Xia Yangyang was unsure whether it was her own or Gu Qichen’s.

His hand had already turned crimson.

“So what if it is?”

Xia Yangyang didn’t deny it.

Because Xia Yangyang knew that all of Gu Qichen’s rage now came from his resentment.

Because she, Xia Yangyang, had left him high and dry when she disappeared suddenly.

He was driven mad now because he hadn’t been able to vent his resentment.

Xia Yangyang knew this because of Xia Ye’s existence.

The best thing would be for her to completely break off contact with Gu Qichen.

Let him be utterly disappointed then.

Only despair could make a person give up an obsession.

Xia Yangyang began to speak: “Yes, those principles I had back then were meant specifically for you. You can take them as excuses or lies, but back then, I just wanted to leave you, escape from you.”

“Why?” Gu Qichen couldn’t believe it.

“Why, Gu Qichen? Don’t you understand? It’s because I don’t love you. I was tired of being Mrs. Gu, a position coveted by many. Without you, there wouldn’t be so many people plotting against me. I was also tired of your cold arrogance, your unpredictable moods. Gu Qichen, look at yourself now, still the same as four years ago. Gu Zhaohan would never speak to me the way you do. We are of the same age, with unending topics to talk about. I don’t have to pretend to be the perfect Mrs. Gu, or worry about the scrutiny from others, or deal with those women who have their eyes on you. I am living comfortably now, which is something you could never give me. That’s the answer, Gu Qichen. That’s the answer you’re seeking.”

Gu Qichen looked at Xia Yangyang, but what he saw in her eyes was cold rejection.

Yes.

He couldn’t feel any sense of warmth from Xia Yangyang’s eyes anymore.

Back then, she was classmates with Gu Zhaohan, they acted in dramas together, went to school together.

She could always laugh youthfully and brightly in front of Gu Zhaohan, who in turn, opened up to her completely.

Gu Qichen slowly released his grip.

Xia Yangyang was also looking into Gu Qichen’s eyes.

Watching something slowly disappear from the depths of his eyes.

Finally turning into ashes.

Xia Yangyang finally broke free from Gu Qichen’s grasp.

“Xia Yangyang, you really are heartless…”

Gu Qichen took a step back, his body swaying slightly.

“Gu Qichen, those things are all in the past. Since we both have chosen a new life, let’s put an end to it all. If we ever meet again, just pretend you don’t know me. I’ll try my best to stay out of your way. I wish you and Miss Xi a happy life.”

Gu Qichen turned around.

But he laughed.

Wish him a happy life?

No, he won’t be happy anymore in this lifetime.

She had truly moved on, hence she could say it so easily.

He came to confront her, but deep down, he already knew the answer.

The answer that had been tormenting him for four years.

It was because she didn’t love him anymore.

His desperate search and insistence had turned into a tragic one-man show.

She was living happily ever after, while he was sinking in an endless darkness.

“Xia Yangyang, never appear in front of me again.”

Gu Qichen’s voice was calm.

It was the voice of a broken heart.

Xia Yangyang smiled. She had achieved her goal. But why did her heart hurt so much?

“Don’t worry, from today onwards, we’ll never meet again.”

Xia Yangyang also turned around.

The couple stood with their backs against each other.

Gu Qichen seemed to chuckle once, then left the room.
