Chapter 66: I Misunderstood You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation    Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

To Gu Qingcheng…

Other than being in a bad mood when she came to the club, she was in a good mood after entering the private room.

So, she didn’t know why Huo Sicheng would say such a thing.

She wasn’t disappointed. Not one bit.

She could only leave in anger after seeing that her enemies couldn’t do anything to her. There was nothing more satisfying than this.

“You really don’t understand?” Huo Sicheng’s voice was low and cold. “Or are you pretending?”

“What am I pretending for? I really don’t understand what you’re saying,” Gu

Qingcheng said honestly. “I’ve always been the type to say what’s on my mind.

I’m not like you, who always keeps quiet when something happens. I think that sooner or later, everyone around you will be worried to death.”

Huo Sicheng stared at Gu Qingcheng for a while. Seeing that she wasn’t lying, he said, “I’m sorry to disappoint you.” Gu Qingcheng’s face stiffened.

So Huo Sicheng was talking about this.

She was not disappointed at all. Instead, she was filled with joy when she saw that he was clean.

“I’m not disappointed,” she told him honestly. “On the other hand, I’m sorry for ruining your business with Qin Chong and the others.”

Actually, when she heard Gu Tianhao mention the energy business, she felt very uncomfortable.

Because she still remembered that night when Huo Sicheng had asked her to sign the energy contract. He had wanted to give her the rights to the energy project.

That time, the two of them had a huge conflict, which made her wonder why he suddenly wanted to do this.

At this moment, Huo Sicheng raised his eyebrows slightly. For the first time in his life, he could hear Gu Qingcheng apologizing to him.

“You have to stand up straight and apologize for your mistakes.” Gu Qingcheng took in Huo Sicheng’s expression. “I’m not as bad as you think.”

“I’ve never thought badly of you.” Huo Sicheng loosened his grip on Gu Qingcheng’s hand a little. “I want to tell you, even if you did something wrong and ruined my business, don’t apologize to me. Not for the rest of your life.” Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng in shock.

She saw seriousness and determination in his eyes, and she felt butterflies in her stomach, with complex feelings in her heart.

“What do you mean by that?”

“What I mean is very simple,” Huo Sicheng said to Gu Qingcheng with sincerity in his eyes. “No matter what you’ve done, you don’t have to apologize to me.”

Gu Qingcheng’s heart skipped a beat. She felt flattered.

“Huo Sicheng, are… are you alright?”

Was he playing with her again?

“I’m fine. I know exactly what I’m doing.” Huo Sicheng caressed the back of Gu Qingcheng’s hand. “This is my promise to you. Just remember it.”

“I don’t deserve anything.” Gu Qingcheng became alert. “Huo Sicheng, if you have something to say, just say it. Don’t make promises to me. I’m scared.”

Huo Sicheng chuckled. “Are you afraid?”

Gu Qingcheng was stunned.

His sharp and cold face softened because of his smile.

Those bottomless black eyes sparkled with starlight as he looked at her. There was a gentle smile on his lips. He was as gentle as water and so elegant that she was infatuated.

“I…” Her cheeks were burning, and her face was red to her ears. Her voice subconsciously became soft. “Why wouldn’t I be afraid? I’ll be afraid too.”

“Don’t be afraid.” Huo Sicheng’s voice was soft. “You have me. You don’t have to be afraid of anything.”

Gu Qingcheng felt a lump in her throat.

He said, “Don’t be afraid. You have me.”

However, she knew that she wanted to have him, but his heart was not with her.

She stared at him blankly and could not help but call his name.

“Huo Sicheng…

Huo Sicheng’s eyes were as calm as water as he replied to Gu Qingcheng firmly, “I’m here.”

Gu Qingcheng’s heart pounded wildly.

She suddenly wanted to express her love for him.

However, when she thought of Ji Sisi, she swallowed her words bitterly.

Up close, Huo Sicheng could see the change in Gu Qingcheng’s expression.

“You’re just here to embarrass me and force me to divorce you,” he said first. “Let me tell you, we’re not divorced. We’re only widowed. I’m not telling you this, but I’m seriously telling you to remember it, so put away your thoughts.” Having been exposed by Huo Sicheng, Gu Qingcheng looked a little guilty.

Huo Sicheng reached out with his other hand to hold Gu Qingcheng’s small hand, one finger at a time. In the end, he made them interlock their fingers.

Looking at Gu Qingcheng with a burning gaze, he said, “I’ve always kept myself clean. I’ll never touch another woman except you.”

Gu Qingcheng looked at their interlocked fingers and was tempted.

Especially when she saw the bite mark on the back of his hand. She pursed her lips, and there was a hint of self-reproach in her eyes.

She was the one who had bit his hand, and they had an argument that day.

It seemed that the two of them were always quarreling when they met, and none of them were peaceful.

“You’re lying.” She pouted and muttered, “You touched Ji Sisi and even went on the trending searches to show off your love.”

“I’ve never touched Ji Sisi,” Huo Sicheng said with certainty. After a pause, he said, “Are you jealous that Ji Sisi and I are showing off our love on the trending searches?”

“I… I’m not.” Gu Qingcheng looked embarrassed and refused to admit that she was jealous. “Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Your mouth is stubborn and you don’t mean what you say.” Huo Sicheng’s eyes were doting. “If you say no, you must be jealous.”

“Give me some face.” Gu Qingcheng pouted like a little girl. “Don’t always expose me.”

Huo Sicheng’s lips curled up slightly. “I like it when you’re jealous.”

Gu Qingcheng snorted. “I don’t like being jealous.”

Huo Sicheng’s gaze fell on the necklace around Gu Qingcheng’s neck, and his bright eyes darkened.

“I don’t like being jealous either.”

“What’s there to be jealous about?” Gu Qingcheng snorted arrogantly. “Your Ji Sisi is obedient and docile. She won’t make you jealous.”

“I told you, Ji Sisi and I are innocent.” Huo Sicheng’s eyes were filled with helplessness. “What happened last time was just to anger you.”

“You’re angry that I took the initiative to ask for a divorce,” Gu Qingcheng added on behalf of Huo Sicheng. “I did what you wanted and asked for a divorce, but you didn’t. What are you up to?”

The corners of Huo Sicheng’s mouth moved slightly, as if he wanted to explain, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.

“There you go again.” Gu Qingcheng was speechless. “Today’s perfect. Can the two of us have a peaceful chat and talk things out?”

A thought flashed across Huo Sicheng’s dark eyes.

After a while, he said, “We can talk. But you can’t stop talking, or get angry if I ask something that makes you unhappy.”

“No,” Gu Qingcheng explained, helpless and serious. “Do you think I want to be angry? You’re the one who always pisses me off.”

Huo Sicheng sighed.

“It’s my problem.”

Huo Sicheng had taken the initiative to take the blame, leaving Gu Qingcheng at a loss.

“It’s… it’s not entirely your fault.” She recalled how violent she was with Huo Sicheng and said apologetically, “It’s mostly my fault. I’m too willful and have a bad temper. I always scold you.”

“You’re a girl. Girls have to be willful.” Huo Sicheng looked at the well-behaved Gu Qingcheng with tenderness in his eyes. “To me, your willfulness is very cute, and your willfulness is limited. You won’t mess around. And..

Gu Qingcheng was surprised that Huo Sicheng wasn’t angry and even praised her in such a way.

His words surprised her. She couldn’t help but ask, “And what?”

“Your willfulness is more like flattery to me,” Huo Sicheng said gently. “I cherish every time you come to see me.”

Gu Qingcheng’s heart ached.

Huo Sicheng said that he cherished every time he saw her.

Yes.

In her previous life, the two of them had rarely met. The moment they did, they would quarrel endlessly.

And every time they argued, he would always tolerate her and let her get angry at him. He had never blamed her for anvthinz.

Therefore, he rarely saw her. Now, it seemed that every time he saw her, he cherished and was happy.

However, that was in her previous life. Based on her recent observations, Huo Sicheng was not like in her previous life.

However, when he said that she was willful and coquettish, an unexpected thought flashed across her mind.

She asked him softly, “Huo Sicheng, do you have any special fetishes?”
