Chapter 1229: Chapter 1133: Dad has never come to see me

Xia Yangyang always had meals with her.

But she was afraid to accept her kindness.

So, Xia Yangyang would say she liked home-cooked meals.

Once, Gong Xue’er brought caramel rice cakes.

They actually tasted quite good.

Xia Yangyang really liked them.

Seeing this, Gong Xue’er often brought them for her, and happily shared Xia Yangyang’s lunch.

At that time, their relationship was truly close.

Xia Yangyang only had to think about the times they shared and felt a sharp pain in her heart.

Because those times could never return.

Gong Xue’er had already walked up to Xia Yangyang.

Holding Xia Yangyang’s arm, Gong Xue’er said, “Yangyang, could you help me in the kitchen, we haven’t cooked and talked together for so long.”

Gu Qichen frowned.

He was about to speak.

But Xia Yangyang pinched the palm of Gu Qichen’s hand.

Xia Yangyang smiled and said, “Actually, I have something to talk to you about too.”

Xia Yangyang then turned to Gu Qichen and said, “Ah Chen, why don’t you play with the kids for a while?”

Although somewhat uneasy, Gu Qichen still agreed.

Anyway, as long as he was there, Gong Xue’er shouldn’t be able to do anything inappropriate under his watch.

Xingxing, watching the backs of Xia Yangyang and Gong Xue’er, happily said, “Brother Xia Ye, my mom and Aunt Yangyang are really good friends; I’m so happy.”

Xia Ye, however, said, “Xingxing, not everything is as it appears.”

Confused, Xingxing turned his head, “Brother Xia Ye, what do you mean?”

Xia Ye said flatly, “You’re still a child; it’s better you don’t know.”

Gu Qichen looked at his son, who spoke like an old soul, and couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Sometimes, Xia Ye seemed so mature, calm, and wise at any moment.

A five-year-old child could see through the facades and manipulations among adults.

It seemed he didn’t need to worry about his son being manipulated when he grew up.

But because he saw through things too clearly at such a young age, Gu Qichen always worried he’d be troubled by adult worries.

Gu Qichen took the two kids to the living room to play.

Gu Qichen asked Xingxing, “Where is your dad?”

At this question, Xingxing’s expression turned sad.

Clutching his fingers, Xingxing said, “After the last visit, I’ve been living here with mom, but dad hasn’t been with us; mom says dad is very busy, but he hasn’t come to see me even once.”

Gu Qichen patted Xingxing’s head, “Maybe your dad is really busy.”

Even though he said this,

Gu Qichen finally understood.

Why Gong Xue’er had invited them as guests.

It all traced back to Lu Haotian.

Gong Xue’er wanted to see Lu Haotian, but Lu Haotian didn’t want to see her.

So, she resorted to her old tricks.

Using the child to invite them over as guests.

Then she’d tell Lu Haotian; he would surely appear.

But Gu Qichen felt like someone had sliced him with a blunt knife, very uncomfortable.

Lu Haotian would appear, certainly because of Yangyang.

Even Gong Xue’er knew this.

And because of that, Yangyang couldn’t extract herself from between these two people.

In the end, Gong Xue’er was still using Yangyang.

And who knows what might happen in the future.

Xia Yangyang and Gong Xue’er entered the kitchen together.

The villa’s kitchen was large.

A few dishes were already prepared on the table.

There were also lots of ingredients ready in the kitchen, waiting to be cooked.
