Chapter 533: Chapter 534: Is He/She Mad?

A hint of coldness on her chest caused Xia Yangyang to completely sober up.

Has Gu Qichen gone crazy?

With all her might, Xia Yangyang pushed Gu Qichen away.

“Hasn’t Mr. Gu seen women before? It would be very awkward for us to get involved considering our current relationship, so Mr. Gu should be more rational and deal with things properly.”

Xia Yangyang, though panicking inside, kept a calm demeanor.

It’s probably because she has been a reporter covering breaking news for so many years.

There’s no situation that she hasn’t encountered.

The best quality of a reporter is their mental toughness. Sometimes, they must act like robots.

No emotions should ever surface on their face.

Gu Qichen, too, recovered a bit of his senses.

But he was surprised at Xia Yangyang’s cold aloofness.

This woman, remained completely unruffled.

Gu Qichen said coldly, “There are plenty of women, but there’s only one ex-wife. Over the years, I haven’t found a woman more compatible with me than you.”

Gu Qichen deliberately got closer to Xia Yangyang, “Yangyang, you’ve become even more captivating than before. Do you know how much I’ve missed your body?”

Despite having long nurtured an imperturbable habit, Xia Yangyang couldn’t help but scold him, “Gu Qichen, you shameless man!”

Gu Qichen simply didn’t seem to care at all.

Gu Qichen began, “Xia Yangyang, do you want to know where your grandmother is? If you become my girlfriend, I will not only tell you where she is, but also take care of her for life. Of course, if you refuse, I can guarantee that you won’t see her ever again in this life.”

Xia Yangyang, infuriated, laughed instead, “Doesn’t Mr. Gu know that it’s illegal to kidnap people?”

“Do you have any evidence? Based on Han Xiaomei’s words alone? You probably aren’t aware that this woman embezzled company funds, engaged in graft to avoid investigation, and while her husband was in a financial crisis, she secretly divided the property and divorced him. With such a questionable character and so many scandals, how credible is what she says?”

Xia Yangyang was somewhat stunned.

“Sister Xiaomei isn’t that kind of person.”

Gu Qichen sneered, “Do I have to lie to you? It’s worth mentioning that that woman tried to get in my bed four years ago. She’s a mean and disgusting person, and yet you entrusted her with your grandmother.”

Xia Yangyang furrowed her brows.

There were some things she couldn’t accept at once.

According to Gu Qichen, Han Xiaomei tried to get in his bed four years ago. Was it that time when she and Gu Qichen went back to the countryside together?

Actually, at that time, Xia Yangyang had a vague sense that something was amiss.

For instance, Han Xiaomei suddenly fell into the water. Which child raised near Lai Shui River doesn’t know how to swim?

Later, even though they were supposed to use the bathroom at the Han residence, Gu Qichen insisted on coming back to boil water for a bath.

Moreover, whenever Han Xiaomei was mentioned, Gu Qichen always wore a disgusted expression.

Could it have been then?

Xia Yangyang found it somewhat absurd.

In reality, she didn’t know Han Xiaomei very well.

But from how well Xia Yangyang knew Gu Qichen, he didn’t need to lie about such things.

Xia Yangyang retorted, “Mr. Gu, need I remind you that flies don’t bite seamless eggs. You are quick to judge others, but just how high-minded can you be? If you were a gentleman, you would be open and aboveboard, and wouldn’t use my grandmother’s whereabouts to threaten me!”
