Chapter 534: Chapter 535: Madness
Gu Qichen began to speak, “I was once a man more righteous than a sword, dedicating everything to you, heart and soul. But Xia Yangyang, what did you do to me? You trampled all over my sincerity, stabbing it mercilessly again and again. You even killed my child. Xia Yangyang, everything I do to you today, you brought it on yourself.”
Gu Qichen moved closer, his icy gaze firmly fixed on Xia Yangyang.
Word by word, each one seemed to be bitten out between his teeth, “Xia Yangyang, remember this, I will not forgive you, I will never forgive you. The pain you inflicted on me, I will return it twofold. This is what you owe me, what you, Xia Yangyang, owe me!”
Xia Yangyang, looking straight back at Gu Qichen, countered, “Gu Qichen, I was never in debt to you. If you’re talking about the child, I think it was right not to bring him into this world. A child should be the product of love, not hatred. If he were born into this world, he would only be shouldering hatred from both sides. Besides, whether to have a child or not is my right, not yours!”
Mentioning the child, Gu Qichen could no longer hold back.
He roared in a suppressed voice, “He was also my child!”
As he said this, Gu Qichen felt as though his heart was bleeding.
How could Xia Yangyang say such things so lightly?
It was a life, his child’s life.
For Xia Yangyang, it was just a decision she made back then.
And four years have passed, enough time to erase everything.
But for him.
That child was his only hope in the last four years.
His only ray of sunshine in this gloomy world.
But, Xia Yangyang had appeared and destroyed everything.
Now, his world was plunged into darkness without sunshine, without air, filled with the pungent smell of blood and festering wounds.
How cruel is this woman?
Xia Yangyang averted her gaze from Gu Qichen’s face.
Unexpectedly, she felt a moment of pity for him.
The pain, despair, and hatred in Gu Qichen’s eyes were about to spill out.
Xia Yangyang then spoke, “Mr. Gu, we have different views on this matter, and I have no desire to argue. I absolutely have no intention of being your lover. I am busy and do not want to engage in these frivolous games. If you insist on hiding my grandmother, I will consider taking legal measures.”
Yet, Gu Qichen burst into laughter, “Xia Yangyang, you can try. Even if you manage to get me sentenced to jail, I assure you that you will never see your grandmother in your lifetime.”
Xia Yangyang was furious.
She hated the sight of Gu Qichen’s strategic and manipulative behavior.
He acted as if the whole world was under his control, while others were considered insignificant as ants.
However, Xia Yangyang truly believed that given his character, he would really do such things.
“Gu Qichen, why choose me? There are so many other women who want to be your lover – film stars, celebrities, rich heiresses. All you need do is say the word and they will flock to you. Besides, aren’t you about to be engaged? You even have a close female confidant. Is all this not enough for you?”
Gu Qichen laughed, “It seems you know me pretty well.”
Gu Qichen advanced again towards Xia Yangyang, leaning into her ear, his lips inadvertently brushing against the curvature of her ear, “None of them compare to you. In bed, only you can drive me… wild.”
