Gu Qingcheng was taken aback.
She turned around, laughing lightly.
“Guess who I was talking about?”
As Gu Qingcheng finished speaking, her hand was grasped by a larger hand.
The warmth from the large palm seeped into Gu Qingcheng’s smaller hand, her eyes and eyebrows brimming with shyness.
Huo Sicheng, in a black suit and leather shoes, exuded an innate nobility with his tall stature. His narrow phoenix eyes shone like stars as he gently rubbed the back of Gu Qingcheng’s hand with his fingertips.
“I guess the heartless man you mentioned is me.”
A glint of cleverness flashed in Gu Qingcheng’s eyes, “Why would you think I was talking about you?”
“This room is only for me.” Huo Sicheng brought Gu Qingcheng’s hand to his lips and kissed it gently. “You came here definitely to find me. I wasn’t here and didn’t send a message, so you’re upset and call me a heartless man.”
Gu Qingcheng smiled gracefully, “You’re smart.”
Huo Sicheng’s eyes sparkled as he looked directly at Gu Qingcheng, then took out a gift box and placed it in her hands.
Gu Qingcheng looked at the luxurious gift box in her hands with surprise. Instead of opening it, she asked Huo Sicheng, “What does this mean?”
Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng fondly, “Do I need a reason to give you a gift?”
“Uh… you don’t need a reason to give me a gift.” Gu Qingcheng paused for a
moment before responding to Huo Sicheng, “I’m just a bit surprised.”
“Surprise is secondary, the main thing is whether you feel delighted or not.” Huo Sicheng hinted, “Open it and see if you like it.”
“Surprised, very surprised that you, a typical straight man, would give a gift to cheer me up,” Gu Qingcheng said and then opened the gift box, her face immediately lighting up with joy, “Wow, it’s beautiful.”
Huo Sicheng had given her a lily-of-the-valley bracelet inlaid with rubies and sapphires, stunningly beautiful, captivating her at first sight.
She loved the bracelet, very much.
Huo Sicheng didn’t care about Gu Qingcheng’s teasing about his straightforwardness; as long as she was willing, anything she said was okay.
“Shall I Dut it on for vou?”
Gu Qingcheng immediately extended her hand to Huo Sicheng, full of anticipation, “Please put it on for me.”
Huo Sicheng gently put the bracelet on Gu Qingcheng’s wrist, subtly relieved.
The last time he gave Gu Qingcheng a pair of wedding rings, she mercilessly rejected them, leaving him lacking confidence in giving her gifts.
Today, he was nervous about giving her this bracelet, worried about being rejected again.
Fortunately, she didn’t refuse his gift, and seeing her happily accept it, his nervousness relaxed, and he felt joy.
It was good that she didn’t refuse him.
Gu Qingcheng’s wrist was so white and slender that the bracelet made her wrist look perfectly contoured.
Huo Sicheng caressed Gu Qingcheng’s wrist.
She was pleased with the bracelet he gave her, but he looked at her wrist with a heart full of pain.
Because Gu Qingcheng was too thin, although her skin was delicate, her overly pale and thin skin made the veins on her wrist starkly visible.
He felt as if a gentle squeeze could break her slender wrist.
Her delicate wrist was strong in a fight, just like her – seemingly fragile but fiery, capable of burning all evil directed at her.
“Hubby?” Gu Qingcheng lifted her hand and lightly pinched Huo Sicheng’s chin, “I’m talking to you, what are you daydreaming about?”
Huo Sicheng suddenly came back to reality, “I’m listening. The bracelet looks good on you, I…”
“Your taste is good, of course, the gift you choose will look good on me,” Gu Qingcheng pouted, “I was asking if you want to attend the Royal Dance celebration banquet tonight.”
Huo Sicheng asked Gu Qingcheng, “Do you want me to go?”
“You’re not someone who likes lively events,” Gu Qingcheng shook her head, “I’m just making an appearance and then planning to go home. Actually, whether I attend the banquet or not doesn’t matter, I could just go home directly from here. I asked if you were going to confirm, in case you suddenly wanted to attend the banquet, and I didn’t invite you, making you unhappy.”
“You’re overthinking it. I wouldn’t be unhappy with any decision you make,” Huo Sicheng indicated to Gu Qingcheng, pausing before adding, “No, except for some bad decisions you make about me, I would be unhappy, but otherwise, I’ll listen to you.”
Gu Qingcheng’s eyes flickered, understanding what Huo Sicheng was referring to – her previous decision to divorce him.
She stared deeply at Huo Sicheng for a while, then asked him, “Would you like to eat something I cooked?”
Huo Sicheng replied without hesitation, “Yes.”
“Let’s go,” Gu Qingcheng took Huo Sicheng’s hand, “Back home.”
Huo Sicheng was surprised, “Aren’t you going to the celebration banquet?” Gu Qingcheng’s lips curved up as she winked at Huo Sicheng, “I told you, I don’t have to attend the celebration banquet.”
Huo Sicheng, “Ziyu is a student you value highly.”
“Don’t forget that Ziyu is also a student valued by my master Li Jing,” Gu Qingcheng leaned in and kissed Huo Sicheng’s lips, “When I used to not frequently visit Royal Dance School, my master handled everything, and the celebration banquet was held without me.”
Huo Sicheng’s phoenix eyes glowed as he looked at Gu Qingcheng, his lips slightly curving.
“Let’s go. We’re heading home.”
Gu Qingcheng grinned, “Let’s go.”
When Qi Shaoze couldn’t find Gu Qingcheng and thought of the hidden room she had taken him to last time, which had Huo Sicheng in it, he hurried over.
As he reached the corner, his steps abruptly stopped.
Because the door of the hidden room at the Tao He Cup was open, and out walked a blissful Gu Qingcheng, accompanied by the usually aloof and reserved Huo Sicheng, who now looked at her with a tender, indulgent smile.
He never expected the reserved Huo Sicheng to show such a gentle and affectionate side, his defenses down, his eyes filled only with Gu Qingcheng, deeply and passionately loving her.
In an instant, Qi Shaoze’s hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white with jealousy and resentment. He felt his blood boiling with disgust and hatred towards Huo Sicheng.
He stood there like a clown, watching the deeply in love Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng disappear from view, leaving him alone with bulging veins on his forehead and full of rage.
The next moment, he took out his phone and made a call.
The call was answered immediately, and Gu Mei’s voice came through.
“Hey, Qi Dashao, you finally called me. I’ve been waiting for your call for days.”
Qi Shaoze’s eyes were filled with malice, his voice cold, “You kept sending your number to me, I naturally couldn’t disappoint you.”
Gu Mei giggled, “Thank you, Qi Dashao, for accepting my phone number.” Qi Shaoze, “Dinner tonight.”
“Tonight?” Gu Mei was surprised, “My sister’s student won the championship, and Royal Dance is having a celebration banquet tonight. You’re a good friend of my sister; she will definitely invite you. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to dine with me instead?”
Qi Shaoze knew Gu Mei was mocking him.
He could attend the Royal Dance celebration banquet without Gu Qingcheng’s invitation.
But Gu Mei’s comment that he could only attend with Gu Qingcheng’s invitation clearly mocked that Gu Qingcheng no longer cared about him. He was angry but, thinking of Huo Sicheng’s annoying face just now, he said
sternly, “Are you going to have dinner or not?”
