Chapter 1589: Chapter 1493: Why So Pretentious?
After finishing dinner, they headed back to the hotel.
Xia Yangyang was chatting with Shen Manbing in Shen Manbing’s room.
Gu Qichen and Shen Shichuan were in the living room outside.
After a short while, Gu Qichen came over.
He said to Xia Yangyang, "Yangyang, Xia Ye is sleepy. We should go back to our room."
Xia Ye responded with an "Oh" and stood up.
Shen Manbing smiled and said, "If Xia Ye is sleepy, he can sleep on our side. We have a suite here, with plenty of rooms anyway."
Xia Yangyang quickly stood up and said, "It’s okay, the bed in the room is big enough to sleep."
Shen Manbing glanced at Xia Yangyang, "No matter how big the bed is, it can’t sleep four people."
Xia Yangyang continued to argue, "You can really sleep on it, don’t worry."
Though they only had one room, the bed was an oversized version, definitely capable of sleeping four people.
Moreover, when participating in variety shows before, Xia Yangyang had already gotten used to four people squeezing onto one bed.
Shen Manbing sighed, "Yangyang, why are you so silly? Must I spell it out for you? You two have just rekindled your marriage. I’m worried that you might make some noise and disturb the kids’ sleep. Leave the children on my side; I have two nannies here, don’t worry. Anyway, tomorrow we’re all going to Hokkaido together, so what’s the difference between them being with me and with you?"
Xia Yangyang’s face immediately flushed.
What was Shen Manbing talking about?
Xia Yangyang hadn’t even considered it from that angle.
Xia Yangyang didn’t know what to say.
She just directed her gaze toward Gu Qichen.
Xia Yangyang thought Gu Qichen would definitely refuse.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qichen directly said, "You’re indeed thoughtful."
Then he grabbed Xia Yangyang’s hand, saying, "Let’s go back."
Xia Yangyang was dragged out of the room by Gu Qichen.
Xia Yangyang still seemed bewildered, "Are we really not taking care of the kids?"
Gu Qichen said, "They’re not two or three-year-old kids anymore, no need to worry too much."
But they’re only five years old.
What’s worse is, Xia Yangyang simply couldn’t imagine how to be alone with Gu Qichen.
The children were her excuse and her comfort.
Now how could she be alone with Gu Qichen?
But before Xia Yangyang could finish wrestling with her thoughts, Gu Qichen had already pulled her back to the room across.
Then with a bang, the room door was shut.
In that instant, Xia Yangyang felt her heartbeat begin to race.
The air seemed to freeze.
Gu Qichen, however, still appeared perfectly calm and relaxed.
He turned around and asked Xia Yangyang, "Want to shower first?"
Xia Yangyang quickly said, "You go ahead, you shower first."
Xia Yangyang looked at Gu Qichen, feeling tongue-tied.
Gu Qichen gave Xia Yangyang a strange look.
But he didn’t say anything.
He simply opened his suitcase, took out his clothes, and went to the bathroom.
The bathroom filled with layers of steam and the sound of running water.
Xia Yangyang stood at the doorway, motionless.
Xia Yangyang felt her heart was really malfunctioning.
Why does she always become like this when she’s alone with Gu Qichen?
Xia Yangyang thought she was really quite hopeless.
Xia Yangyang kept trying to build up her mental resolve.
She reminded herself she was already married and wasn’t young anymore.
She had kids, so why act so coy?
But no matter how Xia Yangyang tried to convince herself, whenever she thought about what might happen next,
Xia Yangyang felt a strong urge to make a run for it.
