Chapter 958: Chapter 959: Let me hold you for a while, just for a minute Chapter 958: Chapter 959: Let me hold you for a while, just for a minute Xia Yangyang didn’t understand why, but whenever she spoke with Gu Zhaohan, she would always somehow end up mentioning Gu Qichen.

Actually, she wasn’t doing it on purpose.

But looking at Gu Zhaohan’s face, the image of Gu Qichen inevitably surfaced in her mind.

Whenever she mentioned Gu Qichen, Gu Zhaohan’s expression subtly changed.

“Yangyang, in fact, I hope that when you’re with me, the person in your mind is me, not my uncle,” he said.

Gu Zhaohan’s voice was filled with forlornness.

Xia Yangyang felt somewhat distressed upon hearing this.

“Gu Zhaohan, I can’t possibly be with you. Even if I am not with your uncle now, I can only see you as a friend, or perhaps a junior. I just don’t have… those feelings for you…”

“Don’t say anymore.”

Gu Zhaohan had already stopped walking.

At that moment, Xia Yangyang realized that the two of them had actually arrived at the entrance of the Xia Family’s villa.

Every time, Xia Yangyang attempted to make sense of their relationship.

She had to repeat it several times.

Sometimes she did it deliberately.

She knew Gu Zhaohan didn’t want to hear these things, and truthfully, Xia Yangyang didn’t want to say them either.

But she had to.

She knew because of many things, it was impossible for her to completely cut ties with Gu Zhaohan.

Yet Xia Yangyang couldn’t offer him hope.

Every ambiguous gesture, every attempt to test the waters by Gu Zhaohan caused her heartache.

He always refused to let go, always refused to give up.

Apart from occasionally knocking some sense into him, Xia Yangyang had no other way.

“Gu Zhaohan…” Xia Yangyang truly didn’t know what else to say.

“Yangyang, you’ve never tried. Why say it won’t work when you’ve never attempted to accept me, right? All my efforts are not so you would fall in love with me, but so that you wouldn’t reject me. Don’t step back ninety-nine paces every time I come closer. Just stand there, please. I’m not asking you to do anything for me, just don’t push me away,” he pleaded.

Hearing Gu Zhaohan say this made Xia Yangyang feel extremely distressed.

But suddenly, Gu Zhaohan stepped forward and wrapped his arm around her in a hug.

Xia Yangyang reflexively wanted to push him away.

But instead, she touched the arm that Gu Zhaohan had fractured.

Gu Zhaohan instinctively let out a grunt.

Xia Yangyang immediately realized what she’d done and panicked, “What’s the matter? I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”

“Don’t move, Yangyang. Just let me hold you for a moment, just a minute,” he said.

Xia Yangyang was far from moved.

She was being feebly embraced by Gu Zhaohan.

After a long while, Gu Zhaohan finally released her.

Xia Yangyang’s body was tense, nearly becoming rigid.

After letting go of Xia Yangyang, Gu Zhaohan said, “Alright, you can go inside. I’m leaving too.”

Only then did Xia Yangyang come back to her senses.

“You should hurry on,” she urged.

Lao Ma had already driven the car over.

Gu Zhaohan got into the car.

Xia Yangyang stood at the door, staring blankly for a while.

Only when Gu Zhaohan’s car had disappeared from sight did she turn around intending to enter the house.

But Xia Yangyang suddenly felt something was off.

Lao Ma’s car had driven away.

Yet Xia Yangyang could still faintly sense the glow of two car headlights.

The light wasn’t strong, but at this time, why would there be a stationary car nearby with its headlights on?

Xia Yangyang looked in that direction.

She could vaguely make out the silhouette of a person in the car.

Due to the dim light and the distance, Xia Yangyang couldn’t really see the face clearly.

But just from the silhouette alone, Xia Yangyang recognized him immediately.

The person in the car was Gu Qichen!
