Chapter 1250: Chapter 1155: A Massive Disaster…

Xia Yangyang now really couldn’t say much.

She just looked towards Gu Qichen, waiting for his reaction.

Even if Gu Qichen agreed, Xia Yangyang felt indifferent.

After all, business was business.

Xia Yangyang had already come to understand there was no need to hurt their relationship over outsiders.

She acknowledged Gu Qichen’s decision.

Gu Qichen spoke, “In that case, transfer those shares to Yangyang’s name. We are husband and wife, after all. What’s mine is hers.”

Xi Zijun’s face showed a slight surprise.

But it was quickly hidden by a calm and light smile.

“Alright, then let’s transfer it to Yangyang’s name. Having the title of Shengyuan’s president’s wife is indeed an ace up the sleeve.”

Xia Yangyang felt somewhat dumbfounded.

She wanted to say something.

But Gu Qichen grabbed Xia Yangyang’s hand and gently squeezed it.

Xia Yangyang knew what Gu Qichen meant and finally held back from saying anything.

Xi Zijun left.

It was only then that Xia Yangyang asked, “Ah Chen, what’s going on? Why transfer the shares to my name?”

Gu Qichen said, “It’s just a small matter, don’t worry about it. It’s not like you have to manage anything. Just think of the annual dividends as pocket money.”

Who has tens of millions for their annual pocket money?

Xia Yangyang thought it was too exaggerated.

But Xia Yangyang actually understood Gu Qichen’s thinking.

Gu Qichen was distancing himself from Xi Zijun. If Xi Zijun was really as she said, merely using Shengyuan as a stepping stone, then transferring to Xia Yangyang’s name wouldn’t make much difference. Gu Qichen cared more about Xia Yangyang than Shengyuan, which was why Xi Zijun said it was better.

But if Xi Zijun had ulterior motives, then Gu Qichen was making it clear to her that he and Xia Yangyang were husband and wife, clearly stating his stance.

From Xi Zijun’s perspective, Xia Yangyang felt that what Gu Qichen did was quite hurtful.

If she really understood his intentions, it was like swallowing a bitter pill with no way to voice her grievances.

But from Xia Yangyang’s perspective, she just felt that her husband was really two meters tall and extremely handsome.

However, they planned to return to Feng City after that night.

Gu Qichen had an important meeting the next day.

While waiting for their flight at the airport, Xia Yangyang received a call from Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu said there was something important to discuss with her.

Xia Yangyang thought about it and then said to Gu Qichen, “Ah Chen, you go back first. I need to stop by Xiao Wu’s place.”

“Whatever’s happened, I’ll accompany you,” he insisted.

Xia Yangyang shook her head, “It’s probably about Phoenix’s whereabouts. I need to check it out. You don’t need to come with me. I know you have a meeting tomorrow, and Xia Ye has school. You go back first. I might be back in a couple of days.”

But Gu Qichen still seemed worried.

Xia Yangyang assured him, “I promise, if there really is an issue, I’ll inform you first. I won’t let you worry about me.”

The airport was already announcing boarding.

Xia Yangyang pushed Gu Qichen towards the security checkpoint.

When leaving, Xia Yangyang kissed Gu Qichen’s cheek: “Husband, goodbye, I’ll be back soon.”

Then she stood not too far away, watching him leave, waving goodbye.

Gu Qichen remembered how she stood there, smiling like a sunflower under the blazing sun.

Her temperament might not be the most vivacious, but looking at her smile always warmed a certain place in his heart, instantly rejuvenating his weary body.

But what Gu Qichen hadn’t anticipated was that this ordinary farewell was another immense watershed moment in their lives.

Years later, when Gu Qichen thought back to that night at the airport, the memory still pained his heart.

If he had known that it was the prelude to a great disaster, he would not have let go of her hand, even in death…
