Chapter 283: You Want to Divorce Me?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Qingcheng frowned deeply.

She stared at Huo Sicheng, and the second before she chased him away, she clearly saw the star-like brightness in his phoenix eyes dim instantly.

Especially when he mentioned Qi Shaoze, it seemed like she could smell the sourness in each word he spoke. So sour, extremely sour.

Was he feeling jealous?

Why should he be jealous of Qi Shaoze?

He allowed himself to be intimate with Miss Li abroad, yet he wouldn’t allow her to be with Qi Shaoze, even just as friends, in their home country.

That was utterly selfish!

In the past, she would have deliberately said provocative things to annoy Huo Sicheng, but now she didn’t want to behave so childishly.

After all they had been through, she cherished her marriage with Huo Sicheng. Whether he cherished it or not was his own business.

At least until she figured out how to deal with Miss Li, she had no intention of arguing with him.

She told Huo Sicheng without hesitation, “Qi Shaoze is also an outsider.”

Huo Sicheng was surprised. He hadn’t expected Gu Qingcheng to consider Qi Shaoze an outsider as well.

After all, the relationship between her and Qi Shaoze…

Just then, the door opened and Li Jing came in, surprised to see Huo Sicheng.

She intended to leave quietly but saw Gu Qingcheng looking at her and said straightforwardly, “I didn’t expect President Huo to be here. Qingcheng, you two talk. We need to enter the judging panel in fifteen minutes.”

Gu Qingcheng nodded at Li Jing.

Li Jing turned to leave, took a step, then looked back at Gu Qingcheng, giving her a meaningful look.

Gu Qingcheng felt helpless inside, as Li Jing was signaling her to have a peaceful talk with Huo Sicheng without arguing.

After Li Jing left and closed the door, Gu Qingcheng didn’t speak or look at Huo Sicheng, just continued watching the tablet.

Huo Sicheng didn’t speak either, just quietly watching Gu Qingcheng.

Outside the room, Li Jing was about to leave when she saw Qi Shaoze approaching.

She glanced at the door she had just closed, her eyes filled with complexity.

“President Qi, you’re here to see Qingcheng.”

Qi Shaoze, seeing Li Jing speaking to him, happily said, “Yes, I’m here to see

Qingcheng. I learned she was here today, so I brought a gift for her.”

Li Jing glanced at the luxurious gift box in Qi Shaoze’s hand and said with a smile, “It seems you won’t be able to give your gift today because Qingcheng is busy in the rest room and can’t be disturbed now.”

Qi Shaoze was surprised, not expecting Li Jing to refuse him so straightforwardly.

“Just a quick meeting,” he explained to Li Jing, “It won’t take long, just a few minutes.”

“I just came out of the rest room,” Li Jing said calmly to Qi Shaoze, “Qingcheng is focused on watching competition videos to find flaws for the students. Your sudden disturbance will only upset her. Moreover, today’s competition is very important, it’s the semi-finals. If there’s the slightest mistake, I think you’d be largely responsible. Can you bear the consequences of such a mistake?” Qi Shaoze paused at Li Jing’s words.

He didn’t care about Royal Dance students’ competition, but disturbing Gu Qingcheng and making her angry was a consequence he couldn’t bear.

Last time, after Gu Qingcheng left in anger, he couldn’t upset her again. He needed to mend their relationship.

He looked at Li Jing understandingly, “I’ll wait a bit longer, and give this gift to Qingcheng when she’s free.”

“That’s possible,” Li Jing said with a smile, “The competition is about to start.

You can go and sit by the stage and wait for Qingcheng.”

Qi Shaoze nodded, “Alright.’

Li Jing watched Qi Shaoze disappear from her view before leaving to take care of other matters.

At that moment, inside Gu Qingcheng’s rest room, she had finished watching the Zi Yu video and stood up to leave.

Huo Sicheng, seeing Gu Qingcheng about to leave, said gravely, “I went abroad to meet Miss Li.”

Gu Qingcheng’s footsteps halted, her heart pounding at Huo Sicheng’s words.

It wasn’t a flutter of excitement, but a palpitation caused by the fact that he mentioned Miss Li for the first time in front of her.

Seeing Gu Qingcheng stop, Huo Sicheng, facing her back, said, “There’s nothing between me and Miss Li.”

Gu Qingcheng rolled her eyes at this.

She turned to face Huo Sicheng, “Are you sure there’s nothing between you and Miss Li?”

Huo Sicheng’s eyes were sincere, “I’m sure there’s no relationship between me and Miss Li.”

“No relationship, yet you flew abroad just to see her?” Gu Qingcheng questioned Huo Sicheng, “I’m here today as a judge and don’t want these things to affect my mood.”

“Qingcheng, I didn’t mean to upset you,” Huo Sicheng responded. “I just wanted to clear things up and avoid any misunderstandings between us.”

“Misunderstandings? Haven’t we had enough of them?” Gu Qingcheng smiled helplessly, “Since our marriage, misunderstandings have never ceased. I don’t care about one more.”

Huo Sicheng approached Gu Qingcheng, his phoenix eyes tenderly gazing at her, “The past misunderstandings were my fault. I caused so many of them.

This time, too, but this time I really have nothing to do with Miss Li.”

“Huo Sicheng!” Gu Qingcheng looked calmly into Huo Sicheng’s eyes and asked, word by word, “You say there’s nothing between you and Miss Li. Then let me ask you, how old is Miss Li, what does she look like, whose daughter is she, what does she do abroad? Why hasn’t she returned to China, and why do you visit her abroad on the same day every year?”

Huo Sicheng’s lips moved, but he was unable to speak.

Gu Qingcheng looked at the silent Huo Sicheng, feeling indescribably pained and torn inside, even breathing became difficult.

Her heart was heavy, unbearably so.

“You can’t answer,” her teeth chattered, her voice hoarse, “or maybe you never intended to tell me. So there’s no need for you to come here and talk about these things. It’s all meaningless.”

Seeing Gu Qingcheng about to leave, Huo Sicheng grabbed her hand, feeling her hand stiffen.

Gu Qingcheng didn’t look back at Huo Sicheng, just struggled to pull her hand back, but he held it tighter.

“Let go.”

“I will not.” Huo Sicheng’s voice trembled slightly, afraid that letting go would mean losing her forever, so he held her hand even tighter.

Pain was evident on Gu Qingcheng’s delicately made-up face, “Why must you do this?”

Huo Sicheng felt heartbroken, looking at her back, he softly said, “Qingcheng, do you remember the last time I ate the goose liver that Gu Mei drugged?”

Gu Qingcheng didn’t want to respond to Huo Sicheng, but she still did, “I remember. But what does remembering that incident change?”

She turned to look at Huo Sicheng and said, “Huo Sicheng, you keep saying you caused misunderstandings and that you have nothing to do with Miss Li. Then can you answer my questions? Only if you can answer can you prove there’s nothing between you and Miss Li.. I’ve laid out the questions, from which one do you want to start answering?”
