Chapter 612: Chapter 613: A Child Scared Her To This Extent

“Mr. Gu, this is my personal matter, no need for you to get involved. I’ve gotten what I came for, so I’m taking my leave.”

Xia Yangyang felt like this was the perfect time to make her exit.

Even if she was incredibly disappointed.

If she missed the chance to walk away with Xia Ye this time.

She had no clue when the next opportunity might be.

But Xia Yangyang felt helpless.

Xia Yangyang tried to slip past Gu Qichen and leave.

However, she barely took two steps outside the door when Gu Qichen grabbed hold of her arm.

Gu Qichen had an awful habit of forcibly grabbing people.

He was strong, and each time he grabbed her arm, it felt as if he was trying to crush her bones.

Xia Yangyang was also getting angry, “Gu Qichen, I think you’ve forgotten that I am a black-belt in taekwondo. Don’t blame me for not being polite if you continue treating me like this.”

Gu Qichen completely ignored Xia Yangyang’s threat.

Gu Qichen spoke, “So eager to get married, huh? All these years, you’ve made it seem like a life or death situation for Xiao Han to come home, but now that you’re back, he’s back as well. Have you two planned this all along?”

Xia Yangyang had no idea what Gu Qichen was talking about.

But she knew with his temperament, she couldn’t leave without explaining.

This man was so arbitrarily domineering.

He was already engaged, yet he wouldn’t allow her to be.

Or maybe what bothered Gu Qichen was that he didn’t want her to get engaged before him.

Men can be so selfish sometimes.

Even though they’ve broken up, he still expects her to be in perpetual pain, yearning for him, preferably fighting to the death over him, to feel content.

That’s why even though he’s about to get married, he still won’t let go of her.

Xia Yangyang gave up.

She needed to leave as soon as possible.

Xia Yangyang began to speak, “I have no immediate plan to get a marriage certificate, can you let me go now?”

Xia Yangyang’s voice was filled with helplessness and compromise.

However, to Gu Qichen, this seemed like a diversion.

Clearly, she wanted to dismiss him as soon as possible.

She no longer wanted to argue with him.

This woman, truly, he held no place in her heart.

The more Gu Qichen thought about it, the angrier he became.

As if a volcano was stirring inside of him.

The lava was boiling, ready to erupt at any moment.

Why did he feel an urge to strangle her every time he saw this woman?

Xia Yangyang tried to free her arm, but Gu Qichen stubbornly held on and refused to let go.

Xia Yangyang was truly livid now.

How could this man be so unreasonable?

Just as Xia Yangyang was about to fight back.

A clear voice came from the doorway of the study, “Uncle.”

Xia Yangyang recognized him at once, it was Xia Ye.

Xia Yangyang felt a shiver down her spine.

Oh heavens, could you be any crueler!

If she appeared in front of Xia Ye now, she wouldn’t be able to keep up the act.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Xia Yangyang pushed Gu Qichen into the room and quickly closed the door.

Xia Yangyang looked visibly shocked.

But Xia Yangyang reacted so quickly, it seemed like an instinctive reaction to Gu Qichen.

Xia Yangyang’s face was flushed from nerves, her fingers uncontrollably trembling slightly.

Gu Qichen furrowed his brows slightly.

What happened to this woman, getting frightened like this over a child?

There was a knock at the door, and the milky voice came through faintly, “Uncle, are you in there?”

Xia Yangyang felt like she couldn’t keep up the pretense any longer.

Her heart was pounding uncontrollably, as it seemed like it would bounce out of her chest any second.
