Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage C.491 - 492: That Night Four Years Ago

Chapter 491: Chapter 492: That Night Four Years Ago

“I know you’re busy, but work is for life, not to become a slave to academic research. Seeing you is even harder than meeting the President of the United States.” Gu Qichen said with a tone of an elder.

“Uncle, you being aware of that is enough. Over the years, you’ve been even more insane than me. Mom said you’ve even moved your residence directly to the office, often staying awake all night and forgetting to eat. As a doctor, I must tell you, if you keep doing this, your health will deteriorate.”

Gu Zhaohan stated in an official doctor’s tone.

Gu Qichen, however, laughed: “Now you’ve become capable enough to lecture me.”

“I am just concerned about you.”

“Alright, I got it, I’ll explain to your mom why you can’t return home again this mid-autumn.”

“Thanks, uncle.”

After leaving, Gu Zhaohan asked, “Uncle, how long are you planning to stay here?”

According to Gu Qichen’s schedule, he was only going to stay three days in Manhattan.

But now…

He had changed his mind.

Gu Qichen spoke: “This time, I consider it as a vacation, so I’ll stay a bit longer. I’ll stay at Green Villa, you can come over anytime.”

Gu Zhaohan said nothing.

After leaving the hospital, Gu Qichen returned to the villa.

It was a property he had purchased in New York a few years ago.

It was right by the Hudson River, with beautiful scenery.

When Gu Qichen bought the property, he thought he could occasionally bring Xia Yangyang for vacations here.

Unexpectedly, she never came even once.

After Gu Qichen went inside the house, all he found was emptiness.

He took off his coat, tossed it casually on the couch, then lay down on it, completely exhausted, pinching his nose bridge.

What kept surfacing in his mind was the profile he saw in the car at noon.

The truth is, Gu Qichen wasn’t certain at all.

He just froze for a moment when he saw her.

Was that person really her?

Four years had passed; she had been missing for an entire four years.

Gu Qichen could still remember the scene that night four years ago even with his eyes closed.

That night, after Xia Yangyang left the Maple Villa, he drove out to look for her.

He went to the Xia family’s villa.

After two hours of waiting, Xia Yangyang still hadn’t returned.

He left in the wee hours.

Only to see a lot of police and an ambulance.

A car had crashed severely not far from the Xia family’s villa.

The car had hit a large platanus tree on the side of the road and was in a terrible state.

But Gu Qichen immediately recognized it.

It was the Xia family’s car.

Like a madman, Gu Qichen rushed over.

There he saw a woman, her face all bloody, being lifted out of the car.

For a moment…

Gu Qichen thought it was Xia Yangyang.

It felt as if he had been pushed into an abyss, his heart starting to tremble.

But soon, Gu Qichen recognized her.

It was Xia Weiwei.

Xia Weiwei was rushed to the hospital, Gu Qichen let someone inform Liu Ruyan, but didn’t go himself.

By the time all medical personnel and police had left.

Gu Qichen stood alone on the deserted road.

The car was smashed to pieces.

But the shattered examination form, littered with bloodstains, was scattered all over the place.

By coincidence, Gu Qichen immediately saw Xia Yangyang’s name among the various shreds.

Gu Qichen picked up all of the fragments.

When he got back, he spent the entire night piecing together the fragments.

In the end, he realized it was a pregnancy ultrasound report.

The form clearly indicated that Xia Yangyang was 14 weeks pregnant!
