Chapter 81: Cheating
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After hearing what Qi Shaoze had to say, Gu Qingcheng furrowed her brows and stared at him inquisitively.
Qi Shaoze smiled awkwardly. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Gu Qingcheng’s cherry lips parted slightly, and she said meaningfully, “What do you think?”
“How would I know?” Qi Shaoze spread his hands and asked Gu Qingcheng,
“You haven’t answered me yet. Did Huo Sicheng look for you? What reaction? Are you going to be furious and ask for a divorce?”
Before Gu Qingcheng could say anything, he added, “Let me remind you, Huo Sicheng loved Ji Sisi but also cheated on her. He even sought out Ji Sisi for a divorce. This time, you and I are on the trending searches as a couple. As a man, he definitely won’t stand for it. So don’t miss this opportunity to get a divorce. Fight with him and force him to agree to the divorce.”
When Gu Qingcheng heard Qi Shaoze, mention that Huo Sicheng had cheated on her and loved Ji Sisi, her face paled, and her heart ached.
That’s right.
She and Huo Sicheng had moved on. He had personally admitted that he had slept with Ji Sisi, so he couldn’t wash his hands of it.
However, Qi Shaoze’s insistence on divorcing Huo Sicheng made her feel uncomfortable.
“I realized that you keep asking me to get a divorce.” She stared at Qi Shaoze.
“Do you want me to get a divorce so badly?”
Qi Shaoze saw the change in Gu Qingcheng’s expression and tried to persuade her gently.
“Baby, you have to understand that after you and Huo Sicheng married, he cheated on you first. Moreover, you came to me pretending to be his boyfriend to force him to get a divorce, but he still refused to divorce you. He clearly wanted to trap you and give you no freedom whatsoever.
“Gu Tianhao and his friends were lucky that our relationship was on the trending searches, but it gave you a reason to divorce Huo Sicheng. I’m helping you out of kindness. I hope you don’t misunderstand me. I don’t have any bad intentions. I just want you to stay away from scumbags. I think you deserve a better man. You should be happy and not fall into Huo Sicheng’s trap.”
Hearing Qi Shaoze’s reasonable words, Gu Qingcheng felt a little better.
Everything that Qi Shaoze had told her was true, and she was the one who had told him everything.
He was just stating the facts to her. She couldn’t blame him and knew he was doing it for her own good.
“Have you forgotten? Last time at the Qi family, when Huo Cheng went over, we told him that we were a couple.” She reminded Qi Shaoze, “That’s it. He still won’t divorce me.”
“No, the trending searches this time are different from the last time at the Qi family.” Qi Shaoze shook his head. “Last time, Huo Sicheng only found out that we’re a couple in front of my grandfather. This time, everyone in Jiangcheng knows that we’re a couple. The implication in his heart is different.”
As he spoke, he frowned and asked with a detailed look in his eyes, “Don’t tell me you don’t want to divorce Huo Sicheng?”
Gu Qingcheng choked and suddenly didn’t dare to respond to Qi Shaoze.
Qi Shaoze looked at Gu Qingcheng, who was about to say something. His serious expression suddenly became angry, but he tried to suppress it, making his face look slightly twisted.
“Baby, you have to divorce Huo Sicheng.” His voice trembled as he tried to control his emotions. “You can’t let him keep you by his side like a toy!”
Gu Qingcheng looked embarrassed and angry at Qi Shaoze’s description. “I’m not a toy!”
“You’re a toy, Huo Sicheng’s toy!” Qi Shaoze raised his voice. “Please wake up! You and Huo Sicheng used to be enemies. Do you think he’ll love you if you suddenly get married? Would he still cheat on Ji Sisi if he really loved you?”
Gu Qingcheng felt a lump in her throat. Qi Shaoze’s honest words made her heartache.
“Don’t forget that the two of you, Ji Sisi, went on the trending searches to show off your love for each other.” Qi Shaoze saw the sadness on Gu Qingcheng’s face and softened his voice. “He let you down, hurt you, and humiliated you. If you don’t get a divorce in the end, you’ll really become his toy. In the future, he will still fool around with other women. Is this the life you want? Watching him keep cheating?”
“Enough.” Gu Qingcheng shook her head. “I don’t want to hear that from you anymore.”
Qi Shaoze looked at Gu Qingcheng with pity in his gray eyes.
He raised his hand to caress Gu Qingcheng’s cheek, but his hand froze mid-air and slowly dropped down.
“The truth is always hard to hear.” His voice was gentle. “I just want you to understand that Huo Sicheng is not worthy of your love.”
Gu Qingcheng’s heart ached so much that she couldn’t respond to Qi Shaoze.
“Speaking of this matter, I have a question in my heart.” Qi Shaoze asked Gu Qingcheng gently, “Why did you break up with Qin Jun? And why did she marry Huo Sicheng? If you tell me you love Huo Sicheng, I won’t believe it because you’ve been enemies with him for many years. It’s impossible for you to suddenly fall in love with him and want to marry him.”
It was a long time before Gu Qingcheng managed to calm the pain in her chest.
Her voice was low and hoarse. Qin Jun had an affair with my stepsister, Gu Mei, very early on. “He betrayed me and even…”
“What?” Qi Shaoze asked.
Qin Jun and the others had even joined forces to kill her. Unfortunately, Gu Qingcheng couldn’t tell Qi Shaoze that.
“Qin Jun betrayed you, so you married Huo Sicheng to take revenge on him. If your motive is revenge, you don’t have to be sad about Huo Sicheng cheating on you, “Qi Shaoze said firmly. You won’t fall in love with Huo Sicheng, so why are you sad for him?
“It’s true that I took revenge on Qin Jun for marrying Huo Sicheng. It’s also true that I love Huo Sicheng.” Gu Qingcheng’s emotions had already stabilized. She looked into Qi Shaoze’s eyes and said clearly, “It’s true that I’m sad for him cheating on Ji Sisi. It’s also true that I don’t want a divorce.”
Qi Shaoze looked at Gu Qingcheng in shock. The confusion in his eyes showed that he was confused by her words.
“Do you know what you are saying?” You’re confusing me, “He said to Gu Qingcheng. Why did you suddenly fall in love with Huo Sicheng?”
“You won’t understand.” Gu Qingcheng couldn’t explain it to Qi Shaoze, so she said, “And don’t say anything bad about Huo Sicheng in front of me again. We were indeed on the hot search list as a couple, but Gu Tianhao’s actions didn’t make me divorce Huo Sicheng. Instead, I talked to Huo Sicheng about turning over a new leaf. He won’t cheat on me anymore, and we can start over again.”
Qi Shaoze’s gray pupils shrank. He stared at Gu Qingcheng in disbelief, unable to believe what he had just heard.
“Start over? You… You…” He couldn’t say a complete sentence for a long time.
“I know this decision will shock you, and I understand that you want me to be happy.” Gu Qingcheng looked at Qi Shaoze earnestly. “But I know that my happiness can only come from Huo Sicheng. That’s why I’m here to see you, to ask you about the trending searches. Secondly, I’m here to tell you that from today onwards. You’re absolutely! Absolutely! You can’t call me baby anymore.”
Qi Shaoze clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger.
“You’re abandoning me for Huo Sicheng?”
Gu Qingcheng quickly calmed Qi Shaoze down. “No, don’t think too much. You are my best friend. You know all my emotions. How could I abandon you?”
“Best friend?” Qi Shaoze’s clenched fists were trembling, showing the anger in his heart. “For Huo Sicheng, you even stopped me from calling you babe.. If this isn’t abandoning me, what else can it be?”
