Chapter 863: Chapter 864: Xia Ye’s Pained Moans

Xia Yangyang felt that Gu Qichen was being completely irrational and forcibly arguing his point.

It was obvious he was deliberately picking at her.

Knowing that Gu Qichen had been in a bad mood these past few days, Xia Yangyang had already been holding back, even going out of her way to please him in all ways possible.

But her forbearance and retreat had only led to his taking ever more liberties and baselessly finding faults.

“Gu Qichen, can’t you stop nitpicking? If all I needed was someone to accompany me for a meal, there are plenty of people at the TV station. Why would I have to come all this way to bring you food?”

A cold curve formed on Xia Yangyang’s lips: “Gu Qichen, is it that you find me particularly irritating now? Naturally, I’m not as clever and capable as Xi Zijun, who can understand you in the middle of the night and accompany you as you drink red wine. If you really feel she suits you better, or if you’re already regretting it, then by all means go find her. After all, we haven’t truly remarried, and I grant you the freedom to choose again.”

Gu Qichen’s entire presence plummeted in an instant: “Xia Yangyang, it seems to me that you’re the one having regrets.”

Xia Yangyang admitted to herself that what she said was said in anger.

But the suppressed feelings inside her incrementally felt like the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

In the past, Xi Zijun and Gu Qichen were business partners, but now they were constantly together.

In the presence of Xi Zijun, Xia Yangyang after all felt somewhat insecure.

Even more, Xia Yangyang began to doubt whether Gu Qichen’s affection for her was based more on a reluctance to let go of the past four years.

Hence, it was only after they had gotten together that they faced constant conflicts.

Gu Qichen’s expression was cool as he promptly got dressed and left again.

And by that time, it was already early morning.

Xia Yangyang felt weary.

Upon reflection, she didn’t even know what exactly had caused the sudden change in her relationship with Gu Qichen.

It didn’t seem like anything significant had happened.

Yet, it felt like the two of them were not on the same track at all, growing further apart with each step.

Xia Yangyang did not sleep at all that night.

Sitting on the couch, she stared blankly out of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Watching as the dark blue sky began to brighten with a sliver of light.

In the morning, Xia Yangyang went to Xia Ye’s room.

Now Xia Ye would wake up once every morning. Although he didn’t stay conscious for long, this was the most heartening breakthrough in his treatment.

Of course, this was the effect of a new medication.

When Xia Yangyang entered, Xia Ye was already awake.

He lay in bed, shivering, uttering pained moans.

Xia Yangyang was frightened.

She hurried over to him.

Xia Yangyang touched Xia Ye’s forehead: “Xia Ye, what’s wrong? Where does it hurt?”

Xia Ye was in a dazed state and couldn’t speak.

The first thought that came to Xia Yangyang’s mind was what Gu Zhaohan had warned her about.

He had mentioned that the new medication being tested might have problems and had instructed her to closely watch Xia Ye’s condition.

Without hesitation, Xia Yangyang immediately called Gu Zhaohan.

Xia Yangyang rushed Xia Ye to the hospital.

But Xia Yangyang knew that ordinary doctors would have difficulty treating Xia Ye’s condition, so her only option was to call Gu Zhaohan over.

Xia Yangyang and Gu Zhaohan arrived at the hospital almost at the same time.

Xia Ye was taken to the emergency room.

Gu Zhaohan went in too.

Having once interned at Ruian Hospital, he was recognized by nearly everyone there. After explaining the situation, he joined in the diagnosis and treatment.

Xia Yangyang sat in the hallway waiting.

Feeling an emptiness inside her heart.
