Billionaire's First Doting Marriage

Chapter 2552 - 693: Stalemate

If she hadn’t avoided it back then and pretended as if nothing happened.If she had given proper guidance and encouragement during their most confused years, perhaps there wouldn’t have been these three years of separation.

Nor would it have caused the current situation.

She was well aware of Xia Ye’s state over the past three years.

He’s always locked himself away, living in the past, unable to break free; Xia Yangyang had experienced such pain in her youth.

The reason she initially didn’t approve of the two of them being together was out of fear they would face too much, yet they’ve reached another extreme.

But now, these two children, what kind of situation are they actually in, and how will they develop in the future? Even as their mother, she knows nothing about it.

Gu Qichen gently held Xia Yangyang’s hand beside her.

His voice was reserved and deep: "Since you’re back, sit down and have dinner with us."

Xia Ye did not refuse, went to the kitchen to get a bowl and chopsticks, and then sat in his seat.

For many years, they have had fixed positions at the dining table.

And this position hasn’t changed due to Lu Yinxing’s departure.

Xia Ye still sits facing Lu Yinxing.

He only needs to look up to see her.

From the moment Xia Ye appeared, Lu Yinxing felt a bit uneasy.

This was a kind of unease that Lu Yinxing had never felt before.

Lu Yinxing neither looked up nor spoke.

She just kept her head down eating dinner.

However, she seemed to eat a little faster.

While eating, they casually chatted, just like before.

Xia Yangyang asked, "Yinxing, has Doctor Li returned to China?"

Lu Yinxing replied, "My senior has already gone back; he has an urgent meeting in two days."

Lu Yinxing said, "Doctor Li is truly a benefactor to our family. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have seen you so soon. Next time he comes, I must thank him with a proper feast."

Lu Yinxing said, "Mom, after my ID card is processed in a few days, I still need to go back once. There are many things over there, including work, that I need to hand over, probably for about half a month."

In fact, Lu Yinxing had already mentioned this to Xia Yangyang before.

But Xia Yangyang always seemed anxious, perhaps once bitten, twice shy.

Xia Yangyang said, "Why don’t I go with you?"

Lu Yinxing knew Xia Yangyang’s feelings, and held her hand: "Mom, I’ve come back. It was me who was immature before. I swear I will never do anything to make you sad again. You’re not in good health, so rest well at home. At most it’s half a month, and after half a month, I will never leave home again."

Xia Yangyang actually understood in her heart.

But the last time Lu Yinxing left home, it left a shadow in her heart.

For a moment without seeing this child, her heart felt unease.

Seeing Xia Ye, Xia Yangyang suddenly thought of something.

Xia Yangyang said to Xia Ye: "Your agent called me today and said to give you another month’s vacation, not to appear in public during these days. Since that’s the case, go to Los Angeles with Yinxing, just to help take care of some things and look after Yinxing, while you also need to lay low."

Xia Yangyang naturally has her own agenda.

She hopes that during this alone time, these two can resolve their conflicts.

Even if they can’t become lovers, this current stalemate is distressing to watch.
