Gu Qingcheng froze. She didn’t even need to look at the door to feel Huo Sicheng’s sharp gaze on her.
She looked at Mr. Zhao beside her and clenched her fists.
Mr. Zhao was really ruthless.
At this moment, she finally understood Mr. Zhao’s thoughts.
When she met Mr. Zhao alone, he would only address her as Miss Gu.
However, he would only address her as Mrs. Huo in front of Huo Sicheng.
Huo Sicheng must have been listening to their conversation when Mr. Zhao called her Mrs. Huo.
Mr. Zhao had been leading her into a trap that he had carefully laid out. He wanted her to tell Huo Sicheng that she and Qi Shaoze were a couple.
She was tricked by Mr. Zhao.
However, she wasn’t angry with Mr. Zhao because she had told him in private that she wanted to divorce Huo Sicheng.
This time, Mr. Zhao had provoked her, and in anger, she said those words to Huo Sicheng.
In this way, today’s trending searches and Gu Qingcheng’s anger would force the couple into a corner.
They were waiting for the two of them to end up in the middle, leaving only a divorce.
Mr. Zhao had killed two birds with one stone. She really admired him.
She loosened her clenched fists, and the anger in her heart towards him disappeared.
“You’re really cunning.” She was calm and praised Mr. Zhao sincerely. “How admirable.”
Mr. Zhao was stunned at first, as if he hadn’t expected Gu Qingcheng to see through his scheme.
He saw admiration in Gu Qingcheng’s eyes. She didn’t look angry at all, which surprised him.
She stood up, took a deep breath, and turned to look at Huo Sicheng.
His chiseled face was emotionless. His thin lips were tightly pursed, and his long and narrow eyes were bottomless. His entire body emitted a devouring cold aura.
In her eyes, Huo Sicheng was extremely aggressive.
She lifted her chin slightly, not afraid of him.
Since she wanted a divorce, she would do it openly.
Even if her heart were in pain, she would never reveal any reluctance or sadness in front of him.
It was finally time for her to let go of Huo Sicheng.
She had compromised. She had compromised with reality and herself.
“Young Master, Madam is looking for you to apologize. You…” Mr. Zhao said nervously.
“Get lost!” Huo Sicheng opened his thin lips and spat, his tone as sharp as a knife.
Mr. Zhao’s face turned pale. He turned around and left the kitchen.
In Huo Sicheng’s eyes, Gu Qingcheng saw two balls of fire that looked like they were going to burn her to death.
She did not avoid his anger and said indifferently, “As you see, as you hear. Divorce.”
Huo Sicheng’s eyes were cold. “Gu Qingcheng! I’ve warned you. You’re never allowed to mention divorce!”
“Isn’t it interesting?” Gu Qingcheng was shocked. She hadn’t expected Huo Sicheng to react like this. “Let me ask you something,” she said. “Is there any point in us being entangled?”
“Yes, very interesting.” Huo Sicheng glared at Gu Qingcheng, his voice cold and hysterical. “Didn’t you say I cheated on you with Ji Sisi, and you cheated on me with Qi Shaoze? We’re even now.”
Gu Qingcheng’s heart skipped a beat. What did Huo Sicheng mean?
Huo Sicheng said clearly, “From today onwards, let’s turn over a new leaf. You are Mrs. Huo, and I’ll be a responsible husband.”
Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng in disbelief.
“Are you crazy?” She questioned him in confusion, “You cheated on me, and I cheated on you. Do you think we can still live together? Wake up!”
She didn’t understand why Huo Sicheng still wouldn’t let go of her even though things had gotten to this point.
Did he hate her that much? Did he have to confine her by his side?
“I’m very clear-headed.” Huo Sicheng stared at Gu Qingcheng. “You’re the one who’s still sleeping! Let’s turn over a new leaf.”
“Can you turn tne page witn Just a simple sentence”‘ Gu Qingcneng’s eyes were bitter. “You love Ji Sisi. You slept with her. You have to be responsible for her.
Huo Sicheng, be a responsible man.”
Huo Sicheng said clearly, “I told you I didn’t sleep with Ji Sisi!”
“No!” Gu Qingcheng shook her head and said firmly, “You did!”
Huo Sicheng clenched his fists tightly, trying his best to suppress his anger. He knew that if he were to get angry at her on such an occasion, her tense emotions would completely collapse and turn into an argument.
“Do you have evidence? Unless you have a video of me sleeping with Ji Sisi, you’re slandering me ‘
“Slander? Did I slander you?” Gu Qingcheng tried her best to calm down, but her heart suddenly exploded with anger. “I don’t have a video, but it was you and Ji Sisi who was trending. I saw with my own eyes Ji Sisi with you in the office in her disheveled clothes. You brought Ji Sisi to Wanmei Villa. Any of these are evidence!”
Huo Sicheng was speechless for a moment.
Seeing that she had managed to silence Huo Sicheng, Gu Qingcheng’s anger was replaced by bitterness.
“See.” She let out a laugh. “If you wanted to be innocent with Ji Sisi, would she show up in front of you in a disheveled state and say that? Would she even say that she’d serve you well? Huo Sicheng, let’s let each other go, okay?”
“Nope.” Huo Sicheng said firmly, “Why didn’t you think about it? Ji Sisi deliberately wore that dress before entering the office. I made her say those words to you on purpose! I even asked Ji Sisi to come to the villa because I was angry with you!”
“Do you believe me?” Gu Qingcheng’s heart ached, but she smiled brightly at Huo Sicheng. “Do you even believe what you’re saying?”
Before Huo Sicheng could respond, she said softly, “I don’t believe what you’re saying.”
He had been lying to her all this time. He had never told her anything truthfully.
Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng bitterly and asked, “Why can’t you trust me for once?”
Gu Qingcheng was speechless.
That’s right.
Why couldn’t she trust him just this once?
She wanted to believe him too, but she had asked Ji Sisi, and she had admitted to touching him, so Huo Sicheng was lying.
How could she trust him?
She didn’t even have a valid reason to convince herself and lie to herself.
If she had asked Huo Sicheng this morning if he had touched Ji Sisi, he would have told her honestly that he had.
She believed that his answer would give her a reason to convince herself. At least he admitted that he was not lying to her.
But he didn’t. He still chose to lie to her.
Huo Sicheng looked at the dazed Gu Qingcheng and walked up to her.
Up close, he saw the bitterness and sadness that flashed past her eyes unintentionally.
His heart trembled.
It turned out that she had him in her heart. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so upset.
“Qingcheng, if you insist that I had sex with Ji Sisi, then I’ll admit that I lied to you. But the other day at the Qi family, you told me that you and Qi Shaoze are a couple, and today, you and Qi Shaoze are trending. We both cheated on each other, so we’re even.. Let’s start over, okay?”
