Chapter 728 - 729: Fake Couple

“So you’re saying your romantic relationship with Li Zhiqian is fake and you’re just pretending to be his date today?”

Xia Yangyang didn’t expect to admit that.

This was immediately seized upon by Gu Qichen.

Gu Qichen originally mistook her and Li Zhiqian to be a couple.

Now Xia Yangyang openly confessed that the supposed proposal between them was fake.

Does it mean their romantic relationship is fake as well?

At this moment, Xia Yangyang felt there was no need to hide it anymore.

Xia Yangyang said, “Brother Li and I are simply siblings and there’s no romantic attachment. Moreover, he has someone he loves already.”

It finally put Gu Qichen’s mind at ease.

He knew it well inside.

Li Zhiqian’s gaze at Xia Yangyang was different from usual.

The look of a man should not be so pure when he’s looking at his beloved woman.

Despite his doubts, seeing Xia Yangyang standing next to that man…

Gu Qichen found it utterly unbearable.

Hearing this clear confirmation from Xia Yangyang herself, Gu Qichen felt a sense of relief.

Gu Qichen took a step forward and pressed on, “What about Xiao Han? Was your engagement announcement with him in the United States also fake?”

Xia Yangyang was taken aback.

Gu Qichen really was relentless.

Xia Yangyang looked into Gu Qichen’s inquiring eyes.

Perhaps it was today’s enchanting moonlight.

Perhaps it was his deep sorrow that had moved her.

Xia Yangyang bluntly admitted, “Yes, that’s also a lie. My relationship with Gu Zhaohan is purely patient and family member related. Bumping into him in the United States was simply an accident. Earlier, I was unaware of the truth and I indirectly directed my hatred for Gu Mingzhu towards you. How could I then possibly let my guard down and be with him. Over the years, providing for my son and treating his illness has consumed all my energy. I have no time for love.”

Everything was exactly as Gu Qichen had speculated.

Despite all that had happened.@@novelbin@@

Despite Xiao Han repeatedly insisting they were engaged and hinting they live together in the United States.

But Gu Qichen still retained some doubts.

He understood Xiao Han’s character.

If they were truly engaged, he would have been extremely low-key, just like how Gu Qichen had knowledge of Xia Yangyang’s whereabouts these years.

By publicizing it, his goal was to provoke Gu Qichen.

To deepen his misunderstanding about Xia Yangyang.

Gu Qichen was aware of Xiao Han’s little scheme.

Since it mirrored his own tactics.

Xiao Han was indeed, a product of his mentorship.

When it came to his emotions though, Gu Qichen couldn’t face it rationally.

Every time he tried to discuss things calmly with Xia Yangyang, she was always on guard.

But now, hearing Xia Yangyang’s admissions.

Gu Qichen was so thrilled he thought he could burst with joy.

She said these years, she didn’t have time to fall in love.

Does it mean that her emotional life has been a blank slate all these years?

Gu Qichen tried to suppress it, but couldn’t help but to let his lips curl into a smile.

Xia Yangyang spotted a hint of triumph in his eyes.

This man!

What’s there to be happy about?

Xia Yangyang held her head high and deliberately said, “Gu Qichen, don’t assume that I haven’t dated because I can’t forget about you. I’ve been too busy with my career and have no time. I have long forget about you completely and besides, I have no intention of reconciling with you. So you can forget about it.”

Gu Qichen took a step forward and kissed her again.

His dominance left no room for her resistance.

This was the third time today that Gu Qichen kissed her.

Xia Yangyang felt her lips swelling in pain.

She was furious!
