Chapter 1228: Chapter 1132: The Past

Xia Yangyang had always found it puzzling that Gong Xue’er, despite wanting to win back Lu Haotian, still involved herself with Xia Yangyang.

Wasn’t this what she used to mind the most?

But Xia Yangyang could no longer bother with that.

She simply wanted to go see little Xingxing.

Xingxing had just said that he had eaten a lot of tasty things.

However, one must know that he had special health considerations, and before leaving, the old master especially instructed that the child should not be allowed to overindulge in eating. For his health, it’s best if he stuck to the recipes meticulously designed by the old master.

Admittedly, Xia Yangyang was not Xingxing’s mother.

But precisely because Xingxing’s mother was Gong Xue’er, Xia Yangyang was even more worried.

Xia Yangyang called Gu Qichen.

Gu Qichen said he would go with her.

Xia Yangyang knew Gu Qichen was very busy, and she initially said it was okay for her to go alone.

But Gu Qichen, after all, couldn’t set his mind at ease.

Xia Yangyang knew what Gu Qichen was worried about.

He always felt that she was naive, and dealing with someone like Gong Xue’er was like a fish on a chopping board, subject to others’ whims.

But Xia Yangyang had long since seen through Gong Xue’er’s true colors.

Naturally, she would be a bit wary.

In the end, Gu Qichen still went with Xia Yangyang.

Gong Xue’er had sent over the address location.

It was Mansion number 3 in the south of Feng City.

Mansion number 3 in the south of Feng City was recently developed, known as the most luxurious top-tier villa area in history.

After entering the residential area, the car smoothly stopped in front of the villa.

The villa’s lights shone brilliantly.

The butler stood at the door to welcome them.

As soon as they entered.

Xingxing heard the sound at the doorway and ran over.

Seeing Xia Yangyang enter first, he ran over joyously, “Auntie Yangyang.”

Xia Yangyang was also very happy.

She crouched down and embraced little Xingxing, “Xingxing, let Auntie give you a hug.”

Xingxing said, “Auntie Yangyang, I missed you so much.”

After hugging Xia Yangyang, Xingxing also greeted Gu Qichen and called out, “Uncle Gu.”

Gu Qichen also bent down and pinched Xingxing’s round cheeks.

Then Xingxing saw Xia Ye standing beside them.

Xingxing’s eyes curved with joy, and without a moment’s hesitation, he went over and hugged Xia Ye tightly, saying, “Brother Xia Ye, I’ve finally seen you again. I’ve been thinking about you every day, so much so that I couldn’t even eat.”

Such words coming from a child made one want to chuckle.

But Xia Yangyang could also feel the child’s sincerity, which was completely different from when adults spoke such words.

Gong Xue’er had already glided gracefully down the white marble staircase.

Gong Xue’er said with a smile, “You guys are early. I’m in the dining room preparing dinner right now. Haotian will be here soon, and then we can eat.”

Xia Yangyang forced a smile, “It must have been hard for you, Xue’er.”

Gong Xue’er spoke with a smile, “What’s so hard about it? I remember back when we were in school, I often cooked for you. I recall your favorite was the caramel rice cake I made. I specially prepared it today, so you can reminisce about the taste from back then.”

Gong Xue’er’s expression was tender, her smile gentle, as if basking in the spring breeze.

Xia Yangyang was all too familiar with that kind of expression.

In the past, they indeed had some quite pleasant memories.

During their school days, they would all bring their own food.

Although Liu Ruyan was harsh, her meals were always prepared by the housekeeper at home, so in this respect, she was not mistreated.

Xia Yangyang’s lunchbox was always delicate and rich.

Gong Xue’er’s was different, every day it was just plain rice and vegetables, and the best it got was an egg.
