Chapter 2518: Chapter 659: Longing
Xia Yangyang also saw the person in the room.
In that instant, it felt like she was dreaming.
This must be a dream.
The scene was just too familiar.
Countless days and nights, she always felt that Lu Yinxing had returned.
Always felt she suddenly appeared by her side.
Countless times, waking up at night, she would rush to Lu Yinxing’s room to check.
But every time it was completely empty.
The disappointment, the heartbreak, were indescribable.
When she was young, she had tasted enough of love’s bitterness.
Back then, she always thought losing love was the most painful thing in life.
But she never expected that in middle age, what she endured would be even more heartbreaking.
Every time she saw the empty room, Xia Yangyang would cry her heart out inside.
Gu Qichen would always come to accompany her, holding her in his arms.
Sometimes, the two of them would sit there on Lu Yinxing’s little bed until dawn.
In fact, for the past three years, every day felt like torment.
Xia Yangyang felt she had had countless mental breakdowns.
In the end, she could only rely on sleeping pills to fall asleep.
And she knew that her fragile state was affecting everyone in the family.
Lu Yinxing’s sudden departure also made Gu Qichen very sad.
He just always silently bore it all.
But the more heartbroken she appeared, the more guilty Gu Qichen felt inside.
Gu Qichen always felt it was because he hadn’t fulfilled his duty as a father back then, neglected this daughter, and didn’t guard against Gong Xue’er’s schemes, which gave that woman the opportunity.
So over these years, Gu Qichen has always been trapped in deep self-blame, never truly at peace.
And his son...
There’s probably no one in this world who endures more suffering than him.
He lost not just a sister, a family member, but also his soulmate, even the sunshine he depended on for survival.
So, Xia Yangyang watched helplessly as her usually silent and reserved son became even more withdrawn.
More importantly, he underwent a drastic change in character, choosing to step into the entertainment industry he used to dislike the most.
Actually, Xia Yangyang could understand this son.
What he was thinking in his heart, why he wanted to enter the entertainment industry, why he wanted to stand at the pinnacle.
Xia Yangyang more or less understood.
But in such an entertainment environment, she also knew how much mental torment her son was enduring.
Living in a circle that didn’t suit him, pretending to be someone he despised in front of others.
She also knew how painful that was.
And then there was Gu Tiantian, who seemed to grow up overnight after Lu Yinxing disappeared.
For three years, this home seemed to have lost its former joyous atmosphere.
Xia Ye came back even less frequently.
Gu Tiantian, so young, always watching her expressions, fearing to say something that might unintentionally hurt her.
Day and night, she missed Lu Yinxing, missed her noisiness, missed the past life.
Xia Yangyang knew this wasn’t right.
But still, she lingered in the past, unwilling to step out.
After countless disappointments, she never thought this day would come.
Deep down, Xia Yangyang still firmly believed that one day, Lu Yinxing would return.
One day, they would meet again.
Yet, when this day truly arrived, Xia Yangyang felt that everything had become so unreal.
