Chapter 408: Chapter 409: Would You Love Me if There was No Uncle?
Xia Yangyang felt that this was the crux of the problem.
Deep down, Gu Zhaohan actually wished to return to the Xi Family.
However, the real reason was not that the other side was more attractive to him.
It was that at the Gu Family, he wasn’t given any importance.
Actually, Gu Zhaohan was very outstanding, and was a top performer at school.
But the genius Gu Qichen overshadowed him.
He was the sun in the sky, so naturally, the moon concealed its glow in his presence.
Xia Yangyang opened her mouth: “If you want to go back, then go back. Even if you returned to the Xi Family, the Gu Family is still your family. The people here are still your relatives. I think there is no contradiction in this.”
It was rare for Gu Zhaohan to smile: “You might be the only person in the world who supports me.”
Xia Yangyang also curled her lips: “When you achieve success in the medical field, don’t forget me. Just remember, I was the one who gave you a push back then.”
Gu Zhaohan’s smile deepened: “Yangyang, I will never forget you my whole life.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Yangyang felt a pang of heartache.
When she turned her head to look at Gu Zhaohan again.
Gu Zhaohan was already looking up at the sky: “Xia Yangyang, after I go back, it might be difficult for us to meet again. There is a question I have always wanted to ask you.”
Xia Yangyang looked at him: “What?”
“If it weren’t for my uncle, would you fall in love with me?”
Upon hearing this, Xia Yangyang was taken aback momentarily.
She was at a loss for words.
Gu Zhaohan turned his gaze back to Xia Yangyang: “Is it hard to answer? I’m also quite good, at least I know how to use a scalpel, whereas my uncle does not.”
Xia Yangyang rarely saw Gu Zhaohan this relaxed.
Gu Zhaohan had already stood up.
Walking over to Xia Yangyang: “May I hug you?”
Before Xia Yangyang could react.
Gu Zhaohan had already leaned down and gently wrapped Xia Yangyang in his arms.
He did not hold her tight.
He was just loosely draped over her.
Xia Yangyang remained stiff, her hands still on the swing ropes, she did not dare to move at all.
After a while, Gu Zhaohan let go and straightened up.
He said to Xia Yangyang: “Yangyang, you must be happy. Don’t make me regret it, understand?”
Xia Yangyang had not figured out what Gu Zhaohan meant yet.
He had already turned around and went into the house.
Xia Yangyang was still sitting on the swing, in a daze.
“So Xiao Han’s crush is actually you.”
A calm female voice came from beside her.
Xia Yangyang’s heart thumped.
The person who came was unexpectedly Gu Mingzhu.
It seemed that she had come in from the side door.
She was conveniently hidden by a cherry blossom tree by the entrance.
It was unclear how long she had been standing there.
But judging by her tone, she should have heard everything Gu Zhaohan and Xia Yangyang had just talked about.
Gu Mingzhu was already slowly approaching.
Watching her approach step by step,
Xia Yangyang felt as though her heart was being hoisted up bit by bit.
This oppressive and tense feeling almost suffocated her.
Gu Mingzhu had reached Xia Yangyang: “As Xiao Han’s aunt, knowing that he has feelings for you, under such circumstances, shouldn’t you evade it?”
Xia Yangyang quickly replied: “Xiao Han and I are just friends.”
“So, what you’re saying is, all this time it was my son who was unrequited in love?”
Xia Yangyang did not know what to say for a while.
She hesitated before saying: “I will be cautious next time..”
