Chapter 1353: Chapter 1257: Don’t Give Me Hope Anymore

Xia Ye spoke up: "Every day he would head straight to his study to work, and sometimes he busies himself all night without sleep..."

"Xia Ye!"

Xia Ye hadn’t finished speaking when a low male voice sounded from behind.

When Xia Yangyang heard that voice, her heart tightened.

She looked up to see Gu Qichen had already stood not far away, walking towards them.

Gu Qichen was dressed in a suit and leather shoes.

He always stood out in a crowd, his distinctive presence impossible to ignore.

But it was different from the past.

The gaze Gu Qichen directed at her seemed veiled in a layer of mist, cooler and more distant.

Xia Ye had already turned around, calling out, "Dad."

Gu Qichen simply gave a faint nod, and within a few strides, he was already behind Xia Ye.

Xia Yangyang watched Gu Qichen, feeling an inexplicable tension.

Why was it always so hard to face this man?

"What are you doing here?" Gu Qichen spoke.

But the chill in his voice sent a shiver down Xia Yangyang’s spine.

Nervous, Xia Yangyang almost stammered, "I... I just came to have a look at Xia Ye."

Gu Qichen replied coldly: "No need, he has nothing to do with you."

After saying that, he grabbed Xia Ye’s hand and said, "Let’s go."

It looked as if Xia Ye had something to say, but in the end, he didn’t.

He just kept looking back at Xia Yangyang from time to time.

Xia Yangyang saw the expectation in the child’s eyes.

Such a mature and profound child, revealing an innocent and sad side.

It was like a series of small knives stabbing at Xia Yangyang’s heart.

Xia Yangyang stood in place for a while, but in the end, she still chased after them.

Xia Yangyang blocked Gu Qichen’s path: "Mr. Gu, I know you really hate me now and don’t want to see me. I just beg you to let me see Xia Ye. After all, he is my son. He’s still so young. I might be an irresponsible mother, but I want to do my best to make amends. Just let me see Xia Ye, and I’ll agree to any conditions you have."

Gu Qichen’s eyes deepened for a moment.

His gaze seemed to focus on Xia Yangyang’s face for a second.

But then it faded again.

Gu Qichen said coldly: "Miss Xia is someone who would do anything for love, having already given him up for love, you should not appear before us again. Xia Ye doesn’t need to be involved between two dysfunctional families, rest assured, Miss Xia, I will naturally find a mother for Xia Ye who will cherish him wholeheartedly."

Gu Qichen repeated, ’Miss Xia.’

Xia Yangyang felt this was good; it made clear the relationship between them.

Just as she always addressed him as Mr. Gu.

But deep down, she still inexplicably felt a twinge of sorrow.

"But... but..."

Xia Yangyang wanted to argue, but found she had no ground to stand on.

Gu Qichen’s voice grew colder: "If there is nothing else in the future, I hope Miss Xia will not appear before us again, and not give me any more hope. Since you have given up on me, given up on our family, don’t look back. Your indecision causes me immense trouble."

After speaking, Gu Qichen took Xia Ye by the hand and left.

Xia Yangyang stood there, her fingers tightly pinched.

There was a place in her chest that hurt terribly.

To her now, this man was just a stranger, wasn’t he?

Why did she care so much?

Why did she feel heartbroken because of his words?
