Chapter 1561: Chapter 1465: "Alright, you carry on then
Shen Manbing said, "Who’s the mother of your childhood friend’s daughter? How come I’ve never heard that he got married?"
Xia Yangyang replied, "It’s Gong Xue’er."
Gong Xue’er is someone Shen Manbing is also aware of.
She knows all of Xia Yangyang’s bizarre past experiences.
Including the betrayal by her close friend once.
Moreover, Gong Xue’er is now Mrs. Wilson.
In the entertainment circle, everyone is aware of this.
She’s quite high-profile domestically.
She even made it to the front page headlines in the entertainment section before.
Shen Manbing’s face changed instantly.
Shen Manbing said to Xia Yangyang, "Yangyang, you really have a big heart, why do you keep their child by your side...?"
Before Shen Manbing could finish, Xia Yangyang quickly signaled her with a look.
Then made a shushing gesture.
Xia Yangyang glanced at little Xingxing.
Fortunately, little Xingxing was completely absorbed in teasing Shen Fu, not paying attention to their conversation.
Shen Manbing sighed and stopped talking.
They quickly reached the hotel.
Shen Manbing had already booked a room in advance.
Xia Yangyang quickly completed the check-in procedures.
Unexpectedly, while checking in, they bumped into Jiang Han again.
Xia Yangyang and Jiang Han couldn’t help but marvel at the coincidence.
Especially when Xia Yangyang’s and Jiang Han’s rooms turned out to be on the same floor, just two rooms apart.
On the way up, Jiang Han said, "If you run into any trouble, don’t hesitate to come find me."
Xia Yangyang smiled, "Thank you."
When they arrived, it was already late.
By the time Xia Yangyang got to her room door, it was already past ten at night.
The two kids were exhausted.
Xia Ye was already asleep, lying atop Shen Shichuan’s shoulder.
Shen Manbing and Shen Shichuan escorted Xia Yangyang back to her room.
Shen Manbing’s room was directly across from Xia Yangyang’s, very convenient.
Shen Manbing said, "It’s really late, you should rest early. I’m so glad you came, I’ll come find you in the morning."
Xia Yangyang nodded, "You guys rest early too."
Xia Yangyang returned to her room.
The two kids fell asleep the moment they touched the bed.
Xia Yangyang sent a text to Gu Qichen: "I’ve arrived, have you gone back?"
After a while, Gu Qichen called.
Xia Yangyang covered the phone and ran to the bathroom to answer.
Gu Qichen’s deep voice came through the phone: "Was your journey smooth?"
Xia Yangyang said, "Don’t worry, everything went smoothly. Have you returned home yet?"
Initially, Xia Yangyang didn’t want Gu Qichen to come with her.
It was just too troublesome.
She drove from Feng City to Beijing, which took a full four hours.
"Not yet," Gu Qichen said.
It was ten in the night at Xia Yangyang’s location, which meant it was eleven in China now.
Why hadn’t Gu Qichen gone back yet?
At that moment, Xia Yangyang heard a woman’s voice calling Gu Qichen’s name.
That voice seemed quite familiar to Xia Yangyang.
Suddenly, she remembered—the woman she ran into at the airport earlier, named Xi Zijun.
Gu Qichen was still with Xi Zijun?
Xia Yangyang’s brows furrowed.
On the other end, Gu Qichen said to Xi Zijun, "Wait a moment, I have something to do."
Then Gu Qichen’s voice came through the phone again: "I’m a bit busy here, can we talk tomorrow?"
Xia Yangyang felt like a stone sank in her heart.
Busy?
Busy with what?
Although she thought this way.
Nonetheless, Xia Yangyang stubbornly responded, "Then be busy."
And hung up the phone.
