Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qi Shaoze watched the changes in Chu He’s anxious expression.
He slightly moved his lips but didn’t utter a word.
Chu He, seeing Qi Shaoze’s mouth move, thought he was about to speak. But his silence only made her more anxious.
“Young Master Qi, tell me, what do I need to do to appease you and make you leave?”
Qi Shaoze, with a rogue-like tone, countered Chu He’s question: “What if I don’t leave?”
Chu He was so angry she felt like her lungs would explode. Qi Shaoze was completely unpredictable, her face turning from pale to flushed in frustration.
Qi Shaoze saw Chu He’s frustrated expression and casually said, “I told you, there’s a way to appease me. After all, a sharp tongue deserves a slap, right,
Chu He?”
“Ah…” Chu He gasped in disbelief, looking at Qi Shaoze’s mocking smile, “You…
you want me to slap myself?”
Qi Shaoze, uncaring of Chu He’s shock, coldly sneered, “You don’t have to do it.”
Chu He was furious. Whether it was Gu Qingcheng, Qi Shaoze, or Huo Sicheng, anyone involved with Gu Qingcheng was abnormal, and now she was being asked to hit herself.
Despite her intense anger, she weighed her options and lightly slapped her right cheek.
“Young Master Qi, I know I was wrong.”
Qi Shaoze replied, “Too light, it lacks sincerity.”
“You…” Chu He was angry but helpless, so she raised her hand again and, with determination, slapped herself hard. Her left cheek instantly reddened and swelled, “Is that enough?”
Qi Shaoze didn’t expect Chu He to really endure and slap herself so hard.
“Mrs. Gu is so sincere, I will, of course, forgive your earlier unintentional mistake,” he said elegantly, standing up from the sofa, “Go and calm
Qingcheng down, but remember not to hurt her. If she gets injured, not only will our cooperation be void, but I will also hold you responsible for her injuries.”
Chu He’s eyes widened in anger, wishing she could stab Qi Shaoze right then.
It was his fault that Gu Mei was taken hostage by Gu Qingcheng, yet he still had the audacity to say not to hurt Gu Qingcheng.
He was cooperating with Gu Mei to kidnap her, while also worrying about Gu Qingcheng’s safety, which was completely insane!
If he cared so much about Gu Qingcheng, why bother allying with her and her daughter? In a battle of wits, injuries were inevitable and unpredictable.
Besides, with Gu Qingcheng’s fierce and ruthless nature, Chu He and her daughter would be lucky if they weren’t hurt by her. They were no match for Gu Qingcheng.
Filled with resentment and unwillingness, Chu He finally managed to say,
“Rest assured, no one will hurt Qingcheng.”
Qi Shaoze looked at Chu He intently for a while, then cautiously opened the door to peek outside. Assuring Gu Qingcheng wasn’t around, he quickly left the room and headed towards the small gate of the farmhouse.
Chu He, watching Qi Shaoze leave, was so angry that she swept the teaware off the table in a fit of rage..
