Mr Gu’s First Doting Marriage
Chapter 972 - Chapter 972 Chapter 973 In your heart I am just a woman who is

Chapter 972: Chapter 973: In your heart, I am just a woman who is only interested in profit. Chapter 972: Chapter 973: In your heart, I am just a woman who is only interested in profit. Gu Qichen stood in place for a while before saying, “Let’s go.”

“Ah Chen, I have something to say to you,” Xi Zijun suddenly spoke up.

Gu Qichen was somewhat surprised and turned around, “What is it?”

A rare hint of hesitation and struggle flashed across Xi Zijun’s expression.

In Gu Qichen’s memory, Xi Zijun had always been a very decisive and efficient woman.

She never spoke with such faltering.

Gu Qichen instinctively felt something must have happened.

Gu Qichen asked, “What’s the matter? Zijun, you can speak frankly.”

Xi Zijun began, “Ah Chen, I’m sorry.”

Xi Zijun’s sudden apology indeed startled Gu Qichen.

But he quickly realized why.

Xi Zijun knew quite a bit about his affairs.

Gu Qichen’s voice grew heavier, “You don’t need to blame yourself, my current situation with her has nothing to do with you.”

Actually, ultimately, Xia Yangyang’s treatment of him had been sparked by the affair with Xi Jiaxin.

Xia Yangyang blamed Lawyer He’s defense of Xi Jiaxin on Gu Qichen.

Gu Qichen had indeed been unaware of it before.

But when he did find out, he didn’t speak up immediately.

At that time, he had also considered Xia Yangyang’s temperament.

She was so impulsive, who knew what she might do if she learned that Xi Jiaxin was released without charges.

But it was just because of his moment of hesitation.

In the end, it became the final straw that broke the relationship between him and Xia Yangyang.

Actually, at that time, Gu Qichen also knew.

The real reason was not this.

It was the accumulation of issues before.

Thinking of these, Gu Qichen still felt uncomfortable.

In Gu Qichen’s heart, the biggest obstacle between him and Xia Yangyang was Gu Zhaohan.

It was the years Xia Yangyang and Gu Zhaohan spent together overseas.

It was Xia Yangyang’s subconscious, unconditional trust, and dependence on Gu Zhaohan.

This was what Gu Qichen found most unacceptable.

Even without Xi Jiaxin’s matter.

The conflicts between him and Xia Yangyang were bound to erupt sooner or later.

“My apology is not because of that affair,” said Xi Zijun.

Xi Zijun slightly furrowed her brows, “What are you trying to say exactly?”

“I’m sorry, Ah Chen, I lied to you. Initially, when I said that I was forced to resign because Gu Zhaohan became the general manager at Jiang Chen, and I had nowhere to go, asking Shengyuan to take me in, it wasn’t true.”

Xi Zijun paused for a while, “At that time, Xi Jiachen offered very generous conditions, even promising me part of the family shares to become the company’s vice president, but I refused. I deceived you about this.”

Gu Qichen was silent, deeply silent.

After a while, he spoke, “I thought you only cared about benefits.”

Gu Qichen was a smart man.

Xi Zijun’s words just now didn’t include a single “I love you.”

But both of them knew.

Xi Zijun was making a confession.

Xi Zijun had given up the position of vice president at Jiang Chen, even the shares, and instead, ran off to Shengyuan.

This alone was enough to explain everything.

Xi Zijun continued, “I know that in your eyes, I am a woman who only prioritizes profit, and even I have always thought the same about myself, but with you, it’s different. I have always hoped our relationship would be based on interests, but now, sometimes I think, if it were you, I could let go of some benefits too.”

Gu Qichen was still very surprised, “Zijun, you…”

Xi Zijun smiled, “Actually, I’ve said some of these things to Xia Yangyang a long time ago.”

Gu Qichen, however, frowned, “What did you tell her?”
