Chapter 584: Chapter 585: Engaged to Gu Qichen on the same day

Even though Xia Yangyang found the circumstances surprising, she felt that it ultimately made sense.

In anyone’s eyes, Gu Qichen and Xi Zijun were a perfect match.

They were not only partners in business, but also a complementary pair in life.

Back when she was with Gu Qichen, rumors about their impending divorce would pop up from time to time.

The reason for their potential divorce was always their incompatible social status.

Xia Yangyang still clearly remembers an incredibly popular relationship blogger once predicted that they would certainly divorce within two years.

That article resonated with many people and spread like wildfire.

In it, the author asserted: “A good marriage pairs equals, not necessarily based on family background, but rather, life experience, social circles, and shared values. In a good marriage, when I stand beside you, I can rule the world with you. Without you, I can still live well by myself. Mr. Gu’s doting love for Miss Xia is inherently unfair. The best love story is that of two equals.”

When Xia Yangyang read this article, she immediately showed it to Gu Qichen.

With a heavy heart, Xia Yangyang said: “I think this article makes a lot of sense. Am I too dependent on you, Gu Qichen? Please stop treating me so nicely, otherwise, how will I ever move on if I ever leave you?”

Gu Qichen immediately rolled over, pinning her beneath him, squeezing her face: “Where do you think you’re going without me? Xia Yangyang, let me make this clear: it’s impossible for you to ever leave me in this lifetime.”

At that time, Xia Yangyang truly believed they would never part.

Who knew it would end up being an ill-fated prophecy.

After remaining quiet for a while, Xi Jiachen noted: “Everyone has a past. I can understand where you’re coming from. Let’s not mention the past anymore. Since you both have started new lives, forget the past and start anew.”

Xi Jiachen raised his glass.

Everyone else followed suit.

Xia Yangyang hadn’t expected Xi Jiachen to be so magnanimous.

She originally thought he would utterly object to any interaction between Gu Zhaohan and herself once the relationship fell apart.

However, by the looks of it, he appeared quite composed.

Beyond the initial mild surprise, it was as if nothing had ever happened.

The person who enjoyed this drama was Xi Yankai.

Just as the situation seemed to be calming down, Xi Yankai suddenly brought up a question for Gu Zhaohan: “Third Brother, Zijun’s engagement date is all set. Don’t you think you should decide yours soon as well, to avoid additional complications? In fact, I have an idea. How about you and Yangyang consider getting engaged on the same day as Zijun? It’s always a joyous occasion to have double blessings on the same day, isn’t it?”

This Xi Yankai really knew how to stir up trouble.

Just when things were about to finally settle down, he brought up another dramatic plot twist.

Xia Yangyang smoothly stepped in: “I don’t mind. It’s really up to Gu Zhaohan.”

Xia Yangyang passed the hot potato to Gu Zhaohan.

After all, he was the one who initially complicated the situation.

Although Xia Yangyang didn’t want to disrupt the situation, she also didn’t want to get too deeply involved.

Gu Zhaohan addressed the situation: “During our time in the United States, Yangyang and I had already gotten engaged in front of our friends and loved ones, even swearing our vows in a church. We’re deeply sorry for hiding this from everyone, but we always wanted our relationship to have ample private space. Therefore, we’re not planning on getting engaged here in China. Likewise, when it comes to our wedding, we will not host a banquet either. We want to get married while travelling. I hope father can understand.”

Xia Yangyang was stunned.

When on earth did she and Gu Zhaohan get engaged?
