He’s nothing but a coward who only picks on the weak, a petty man. If it wasn’t for the chance rescue of Ah Zhan back in the day, how could such a brute have a place in Culture Hall?”

Just now, when Li Zhiqian mentioned that Pingtou Ge was under Xiao Zhan’s wing, it turned out to be true.

Xia Yangyang was really getting more and more confused.

The drug manufacturing and trafficking couldn’t possibly be related to her eldest brother, could they?

Xia Yangyang’s heart felt as if it were being squeezed.

She hadn’t mentioned the criminal police investigating Pingtou Ge during dinner.

Eating with Phoenix and Li Zhiqian wasn’t something that happened often in Xia Yangyang’s memory.

Especially after Xia Yangyang knew the depth of Li Zhiqian’s affection for Phoenix, watching the two of them made her feel somewhat sad.

In the love triangle involving three people, someone always has to let go, to make way for the others.

That in itself was difficult.

But Li Zhiqian did it with a smile.

Xia Yangyang couldn’t truly empathize. The task that neither Gu Qichen nor Gu Zhaohan could accomplish must be very very difficult indeed.

Xue Zhiqian raised his glass, “Phoenix, this one’s for you. I wish you and the eldest brother a safe and peaceful life, growing old together.”

Phoenix hurriedly picked up her glass as well, “Thanks, Ah Qian.”

Phoenix downed her glass of red wine in one gulp.

Then she said to Li Zhiqian, “Ah Qian, we’ve grown up together since we were little, and we have a deep bond. All these years, I am fully aware of the kindness you’ve shown me. I truly can’t repay you in this lifetime, but if there’s a next life, I will make sure to repay you properly.”

Li Zhiqian just smiled, “Then I’ll wait for the next life.”

The atmosphere during the meal remained immersed in a mood that was both joyful and sorrowful.

Like the mingling of ice and fire.

Caught in the middle, Xia Yangyang could sense Phoenix’s limitless anticipation and happiness about the wedding, and she could also feel Li Zhiqian’s sadness and helplessness spreading, as if being torn between two intense emotions.

After finishing the meal, Xia Yangyang talked with Phoenix for a while then headed back to Peace Hall.

But Gu Qichen was not at Peace Hall.

She had no idea where he had gone.

It wasn’t until the evening that Gu Qichen came back.

Rarely, Xia Yangyang had bought some groceries and prepared a table full of dishes.

When Gu Qichen returned, Xia Yangyang was still busy.

Seeing Gu Qichen’s appearance,

Xia Yangyang somehow had a premonition.

She cautiously asked, “Ah Chen, where have you been?”

Gu Qichen didn’t beat around the bush, “I went to Cat Alley.”

Cat Alley was exactly the alley where Gao’s Noodle House was located.

Xia Yangyang felt complicated.

From Peace Hall to Cat Alley, it was at least a two-hour journey.

Gu Qichen had just been there yesterday,

but they hadn’t come to an understanding.

Could it have been today?

Xia Yangyang asked, “Did you see godfather?”

Gu Qichen nodded, “He was still there today.”

“Did you go in?”

Gu Qichen replied, “I went in and had a bowl of noodles that I didn’t eat yesterday.”

Xia Yangyang couldn’t articulate the feeling. Was Gu Qichen really just there for a bowl of noodles he hadn’t eaten the day before?

Xia Yangyang asked, “Did you talk to godfather?”

Gu Qichen shook his head, “Just the usual greeting.”

Xia Yangyang’s emotions were complex.

It was as if both knew what was in each other’s hearts, yet they were unrelated, indifferent.

That was truly distressing.

Xia Yangyang took Gu Qichen’s hand, “Ah Chen, let’s have dinner first.”

After Xia Ye and Xingxing had finished eating, they played in the yard.
