Chapter 536: Chapter 537: You Owe Me a Child!


    Xia Yangyang avoided Gu Qichen’s gaze. “Mr. Gu, I didn’te to beg or be threatened by you today. There is actually no grudge between us. I don’t want to involve you in the hatred for Gu Mingzhu. It’s between her and me. If you still have a bit of thought for our past rtionship, just tell me where my grandmother is. Can’t we just be like strangers without dragging unnecessary hostility into it?”


    Gu Qichen looked at the woman in front of him, feeling a mixture of absurdity and heartache.


    She suggested so casually, “Can’t we just be like strangers?”


    No! Absolutely not!


    If they could just be strangers, he wouldn’t be in so much pain.


    He wouldn’t feel as if his heart was being gouged out every single day and night. To think of her name, to see her face on the screen, it was all so gut-wrenching, every part of him felt as though it was being burned by mes.


    This woman would never know what he had gone through all these years.


    Over thest four years, he had been living every moment in hell.


    And now she was saying to him so lightly, “All of my affairs have nothing to do with you. We are just strangers!”


    Gu Qichenughed, “Sure, Xia Yangyang, I think your suggestion is excellent. Being strangers with you is exactly what I want.”<div>


    Xia Yangyang was slightly taken aback to hear him say these words.


    Ever since she saw him, Gu Qichen’s emotions had been intense.


    His pent-up hatred seemed to boil over in thest moments.


    How could a person like Gu Qichen easily let go of everything?


    Xia Yangyang felt there was a traping.


    Sure enough, in the next second, Gu Qichen coldly said, “Xia Yangyang, repay what you owe me first, then we can be strangers, I promise I will not bother you for the rest of your life.”


    Xia Yangyang looked up into Gu Qichen’s eyes, “What do I owe you?”


    Gu Qichen enunciated every word, “You owe me a child!”


    When it came to the child, Gu Qichen felt a sudden heart-wrenching pain.


    He could never forgive Xia Yangyang. Never in his life.


    Xia Yangyang hesitated, “Gu Qichen, I think it’s impossible for us tomunicate anymore.”


    When Gu Qichen mentioned the child, Xia Yangyang felt guilty.


    The thought of Gu Qichen possibly taking Xia Ye away filled her heart with indescribable fear.


    She couldn’t afford to have more entanglements with Gu Qichen.


    Xia Yangyang spoke coldly, “It looks like I shouldn’t havee today. I don’t have anything more to say. I will find my grandmother on my own. Gu Qichen, if you’re still a man, do things upright. Don’t do these disgraceful things in the dark that just make me look down on you.”


    After saying this, Xia Yangyang turned around coldly and walked out of the room.


    Gu Qichen stood, not chasing after her.


    Once Xia Yangyang was gone, an unprecedented exhaustion flooded over him.


    He had never felt so tired.<div>


    Even during the painful years, there seemed to be something that have kept him going.


    That glimmer of hope that one day Xia Yangyang would show up in front of him.


    The hope that their child might still be in this world.


    But not like this.<div>


    It should never have ended up like this…


    Once Xia Yangyang appeared, every hope he had was crushed, including that faint hope that hadsted for four years.


    Gu Qichen felt exhausted to the extreme. His world hadpletely copsed, and he didn’t know how he could go on…
