Chapter 265 Seeing Each Other
She watched as Yi Qiansi walked in with an unknown smile on his face, and then a few seconds later, another man walked in.She immediately jumped up from her chair and exclaimed, “Yechen!”
The worker looked up at her but didn’t say anything before he looked back down, crossing his hands together.
He Xinyan ran over to the glass, pressing her hands and upper body against the glass, almost as if she was trying to be closer to him.
”Yechen!” She called again, but Gu Yechen didn’t give any reaction at all. It was almost as if he didn’t hear her.
He Xinyan realized that maybe he couldn’t hear her because of the glass, and she began waving her arms around.
As she did, Yi Qiansi looked over her way, but not straight at her. Instead, he looked over at the chair as a sly grin appeared on his face.
He then looked back at Gu Yechen, who was glaring at him.
He Xinyan heard Yi Qiansi say, “Mr. Gu, please take a seat.”
He pointed at the chair on the left end of the table as he sat down on the right chair himself. Gu Yechen glared at Yi Qiansi for several seconds before walking around the table and taking a seat, crossing his arms and legs together.
He scanned the room quickly, his eyes gliding past He Xinyan when he looked over at the room she was in. However, it was almost as if he didn’t notice her as he immediately looked away and continued to look around the room he was in.
He Xinyan’s eyes widened, “Gu Yechen!” She began slamming on the glass, beginning to feel helpless as she felt her nose sour slightly, signaling the near arrival of tears, “Gu Yechen! I’m over here! Husband! Yechen!”
The worker watched her for a few seconds before he sighed and spoke up, “Miss He, you can see and hear the other room, but the other room cannot see or hear you. The glass is designed this way.”
He Xinyan turned her head around and glared at the worker. After realizing that he was saying the truth, she wondered how in the world this glass was designed this way.
She stopped banging on the glass and moving and instead continued to lean against the cold glass, staring intently at Gu Yechen with longing eyes.
It has been so long since she last saw him. . . He had very clear dark circles under his eyes. Was he not sleeping well? It was probably because of her. . . It was all because of her.
She didn’t know why Yi Qiansi abducted her, but it was because he hid her away so Gu Yechen wasn’t sleeping well.
Tears began rolling down her eyes again and she couldn’t stop them although she continued to wipe her cheeks and eyes, rubbing them so much they became red and swollen.
He looked so tired and it was clear he got much skinnier. . . He didn’t eat well either, right? He Xinyan was sure of it.
Her heart twisted with pain at the sight of Gu Yechen’s frail and tired appearance, and she wanted to break the glass so bad and run over to him and into his embrace.
She forced herself to stop crying when Gu Yechen and Yi Qiansi became talking.
”Where is she?” Gu Yechen asked coldly, his voice slightly hoarse.
A maid carried a tea tray over and Yi Qiansi slowly poured himself and Gu Yechen a cup of tea.
”Where is she?” Gu Yechen asked again.
Yi Qiansi grinned, “Mr. Gu, be patient. Don’t you think we should chat for a bit first. After all, it has been so long since we last talked with each other, my old friend. Your wife can wait.”
Gu Yechen’s already cold face darkened even more and he clenched his teeth together, forcing himself to stay calm.
He gulped down the hot tea in one gulp while Yi Qiansi took his time to taste the tea even though he really couldn’t taste it at all.
”Hurry up and talk. When you are done, I am leaving with her.” Gu Yechen said coldly, his temper slowly boiling up inside him.
Inside, He Xinyan’s eyes lit up with hope as they glued onto Gu Yechen’s slim and sharp face. He was going to bring her away! He was here to take her home!
She stared into his cold eyes for a long time but she did not feel any coldness. Instead, she felt more warm than she had ever felt in over a month since she has been here.
Just as she was staring at him excitedly, his head suddenly turned around and stared intently at the glass. His gaze missed He Xinyan by a few inches, but she knew he was looking at the glass.
From Gu Yechen’s point of view, the glass was completely black and he couldn’t see anything inside, only a slight hint of his own reflection.
Yi Qiansi noticed where Gu Yechen was looking and he looked over at the glass as well.
”Mr. Gu, what are you looking at?”
There were a few seconds of silence before Gu Yechen narrowed his eyes, “My wife, Xinyan, is behind that glass.”
He wasn’t asking him if she was behind that glass, he was making a statement. He knew she was behind that glass.
A hint of surprise flashed past Yi Qiansi’s face, but he quickly hid it, “Indeed, Mr. Gu doesn’t disappoint. Yes, she is behind there. We can’t see or hear her, but she can see and hear us.”
At once, Gu Yechen’s eyes became as gentle as water as he continued to stare at his own reflection. But this time, he knew that she was over there also looking at him.
He Xinyan heard their conversation and she smiled, the most genuine and heartfelt smile she had in a long time. When looking into his warm and gentle eyes, her heart also warmed up.
After a long time, Gu Yechen finally looked back at Yi Qiansi, his eyes and expression returning to it’s cold self.
”How will you let her go?” He asked, obviously guessing that Yi Qiansi wouldn’t let He Xinyan go so easily after planning and doing so much to cause the bombing and abduct her over here.
Yi Qiansi picked up the teacup and began gently swinging it around in his hand, “Let her go. . . Hm?”
After several silent seconds, he grinned and finished all of the tea in the cup in one gulp, “One life for two. You die, they live.”
Both Gu Yechen and He Xinyan furrowed their eyebrows together, confused on what Yi Qiansi meant. One life for two? Where did the two come from?
He Xinyan was a single body and soul. . . Did Yi Qiansi accidentally make a mistake? Did he mean one life for one?
Yi Qiansi looked up at Gu Yechen’s confused expression and his smile widened. He leaned forward against the table and crossed his hands together, resting his elbows onto the table.
”She’s pregnant.”
