Huo Sicheng’s eyes darkened.

He fixed his gaze on Gu Qingcheng. “Who did you see today?”

Gu Qingcheng’s temper flared up.

“You’re spying on me again!”

He must have known that she had seen Qi Shaoze before.

Although she and Qi Shaoze were only pretending to be a couple, they were still real to outsiders or Huo Sicheng.

His actions showed that he didn’t trust her.

“I’m not spying on you.” Huo Sicheng saw Gu Qingcheng’s anger and said in a low voice, “I’m just curious why you asked me this.”

“So?” Gu Qingcheng asked Huo Cheng unhappily, “I’m asking a very normal question. What do you mean I have to meet someone before I can ask you?

Can’t I ask?”

“No, I haven’t.”

Gu Qingcheng’s face was cold. “Since I can ask,” she said, displeased, “then answer my question.”

“You also know that I’d take care of my legs. Do you think I can’t afford a good doctor?” Huo Sicheng asked.

“Hey, scumbag.” Hearing Huo Sicheng’s words, Gu Qingcheng felt like she was being mocked. She said angrily, “What do you mean? I know you’re the president of the Hunt Corporation, and you’re rich. How could I look down on you? Besides, I said I wasn’t mocking you.”

Huo Sicheng frowned. “I didn’t mean that.”

“That’s what you meant!” Gu Qingcheng was speechless.

‘I’m not being unreasonable. I just asked you this question when I saw your legs. You’re the one who’s being sarcastic.’

Huo Sicheng understood that he had indeed sounded a little sarcastic toward Gu Qingcheng.

He was just upset. Her attitude showed that someone had said something to her, and he even guessed that she had met Qi Shaoze.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so nervous when he asked.

Nonetheless, he didn’t want to argue with her. “It’s very late. You should sleep.”

Gu Qingcheng’s anger was stifled by Huo Sicheng’s words, a rage that would make both of them forget about sleeping tonight if it went on.

She held her breath and lay down furious, moving as far away from him as she could.

Huo Sicheng sighed silently. He opened his mouth to comfort Gu Qingcheng, but nothing came out.

Gu Qingcheng was furious, but she couldn’t resist the sleepiness that came over her, and she fell asleep.

In her haziness, she felt a pair of strong arms pull him into their arms. The familiar embrace made her feel at ease.

She felt a small kiss on her face, and someone was saying something in her ear. She wanted to hear it clearly, but she couldn’t, and she couldn’t wake up.

The next morning, when Gu Qingcheng woke up, Huo Sicheng was no longer in bed.

On the other hand, there was a beautiful bouquet of Lilies of the Valley by her bed. Each lily emitted a faint fragrance. The snow-white petals made her recognize at a glance that it was the most famous lily of the valley in Y.

She felt a warmth permeating through her heart. It was obvious that Huo Sicheng had flown the flowers for her.

At least he knew how to be tactful. He had mocked her so much last night and still knew how to apologize to her.

She sniffed the flowers and walked out of the bedroom in a good mood.

“Good morning, Miss Gu.”

As soon as Gu Qingcheng stepped out of the door, she was surprised to see Mr. Zhao standing there.

“Good morning, Mr. Zhao.”

It seemed that Huo Sicheng was not around, or Mr. Zhao would have called her Mrs. Gu instead of Miss Gu.

“I’m very curious.” Mr. Zhao lowered his voice and asked Gu Qingcheng, “You kept saying that you wanted to divorce Young Master. I even paved the way for you. Why did you go back on your word?”

Gu Qingcheng told Mr. Zhao what she thought.

“Turn over a new leaf?” Mr. Zhao chuckled. He took out his phone and handed it to Gu Qingcheng. “So this is your comeback?”

Gu Qingcheng’s expression changed. She and Qi Shaoze were trending again.

The trending video was taken when she was having dinner with Qi Shaoze last night. The red wine and roses on the table looked like a candlelit dinner.

[Why is this scumbag’s face still on the trending search? After beating up her stepmother and stepsister, nothing happened to her. Instead, she enjoyed a candlelight dinner. How cheap.]

[Is Star Dream Entertainment’s CEO, Qi Shaoze, blind? Why would he fall for a shameless woman like Gu Qingcheng?]

[Boycotting Gu Qingcheng. Boycotting her as a teacher for the Peach Lotus n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Cup.]

[Everyone, stop scolding her. Let’s forget about Gu Qingcheng’s assault case. She and Qi Shaoze are a perfect match. They’re both handsome and beautiful. They should get married soon and have children.]

[Gu Qingcheng and Qi Shaoze, hurry up and get married. I want to see you two show off your love.]

She saw a few trolls in the comments section, but the rest were all urging her to get married to Qi Shaoze.

How could this be?

How did she get photographed eating with Qi Shaoze? Qi Shaoze had said that he booked the restaurant and shouldn’t have been photographed.

These netizens were even urging her to get married? Giving birth to a child and showing off their love?

This was obviously a paid troll army!

Who was it?

Chu He or Qin Jun?

She couldn’t go on the trending searches anymore. She still had to get close to Yuan Qiaolan if Yuan Feng recognized her from the photos.

If that were the case, all her plans would go into the drain.

Most importantly, what would Huo Sicheng think of their so-called reconciliation when he saw this trending topic?

“Mr. Zhao, I don’t know how to explain this to you.”

“You don’t have to explain to me. I don’t want to know your private matters at all.” Mr. Zhao looked straight at Gu Qingcheng. “As you said, I hate you. You know that well enough. So, I’m going to make it clear. You and Young Master are not on the same side. You weren’t in the past. You aren’t on his side now, and you will never be in the future. Divorcing early actually gives you options.

“Otherwise, when you fall in love with the young master and let you understand some things, you’ll be the one who gets hurt. This is my advice to you and also to minimize the damage.”

“Hurt?” Gu Qingcheng was confused. “Mr. Zhao, what do you mean?” She and Huo Sicheng were indeed not on the same side.

However, Huo Sicheng did say that the couple lacked chemistry.

He was even the one who took the initiative to suggest that they let go of everything that had happened before.

After she agreed to start over with him, they would not owe each other anything.

Since they were both cuckolded, they were even.

What else did Huo Sicheng have that was worth her getting hurt for?

Was he going to support Ji Sisi?

NO!

If he wanted to help Ji Sisi, he wouldn’t want to start over with her.

“Many things aren’t as simple as you think.” Mr. Zhao stared at Gu Qingcheng and said, “There are some things that I can’t tell you if you don’t tell me beforehand. I’m just advising you to quickly divorce Young Master. It’ll be good for you. You can marry Qi Shaoze after that. The Qi family is also wealthy and will not mistreat you.”

“Be straight with me.” Gu Qingcheng didn’t like things that didn’t make sense.

“What else can’t I know? Anyway, it’s just you and me now. I won’t tell anyone else about what vou said to me.”

Mr. Zhao’s eyes were filled with uncertainty. After a while, he said to Gu

Qingcheng, “Are you very curious about who Huo Xuan’s mother is?”

Gu Qingcheng was stunned. From the first day she met Huo Xuan, she had been curious about who his mother was and how Huo Sicheng had acquired this son.

She quickly asked Mr.. Zhao, “Who is Huo Xuan’s mother?”
