Xia Yangyang tried to defuse the tension with light-hearted tones, hoping to make the atmosphere seem less awkward.
But Gu Qichen didn't seem to take the bait.
After Xia Yangyang finished speaking, his face looked even worse than before.
But he remained silent.
He just stared at her with a gaze as cold as a knife.
Making her feel utterly humiliated.
Xia Yangyang didn't know what else to say, so she just kept backpedaling.
Before she had taken two steps, Gu Qichen grabbed her arm again: "Xia Yangyang, what on earth are you doing?"
Gu Qichen's voice was still cold.
Xia Yangyang could tell that his voice was tinged with simmering anger.
Xia Yangyang had already prepared an explanation: "Actually, I came back to get my ID card."
Xia Yangyang had thought of the worst-case scenario in the car.
If Gu Qichen found her before she found Xia Ye, she would have to come up with an excuse, then try to escape.
This excuse was something Xia Yangyang had thought of long in advance.
