Gu Qingcheng was taken aback.
She turned around, laughing lightly.
âGuess who I was talking about?â
As Gu Qingcheng finished speaking, her hand was grasped by a larger hand.
The warmth from the large palm seeped into Gu Qingchengâs 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 Qingchengâs hand with his fingertips.
âI guess the heartless man you mentioned is me.â
A glint of cleverness flashed in Gu Qingchengâs eyes, âWhy would you think I was talking about you?â
âThis room is only for me.â Huo Sicheng brought Gu Qingchengâs hand to his lips and kissed it gently. âYou came here definitely to find me. I wasnât here and didnât send a message, so youâre upset and call me a heartless man.â
Gu Qingcheng smiled gracefully, âYouâre smart.â
Huo Sichengâs 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, âWhat does this mean?â
Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng fondly, âDo I need a reason to give you a gift?â
âUh⦠you donât need a reason to give me a gift.â Gu Qingcheng paused for a
moment before responding to Huo Sicheng, âIâm just a bit surprised.â
âSurprise is secondary, the main thing is whether you feel delighted or not.â Huo Sicheng hinted, âOpen it and see if you like it.â
âSurprised, very surprised that you, a typical straight man, would give a gift to cheer me up,â Gu Qingcheng said and then opened the gift box, her face immediately lighting up with joy, âWow, itâs beautiful.â
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 didnât care about Gu Qingchengâs teasing about his straightforwardness; as long as she was willing, anything she said was okay.
âShall I Dut it on for vou?â
Gu Qingcheng immediately extended her hand to Huo Sicheng, full of anticipation, âPlease put it on for me.â
Huo Sicheng gently put the bracelet on Gu Qingchengâs 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 didnât refuse his gift, and seeing her happily accept it, his nervousness relaxed, and he felt joy.
It was good that she didnât refuse him.
Gu Qingchengâs wrist was so white and slender that the bracelet made her wrist look perfectly contoured.
Huo Sicheng caressed Gu Qingchengâs 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 â seemingly fragile but fiery, capable of burning all evil directed at her.
âHubby?â Gu Qingcheng lifted her hand and lightly pinched Huo Sichengâs chin, âIâm talking to you, what are you daydreaming about?â
Huo Sicheng suddenly came back to reality, âIâm listening. The bracelet looks good on you, Iâ¦â
âYour taste is good, of course, the gift you choose will look good on me,â Gu Qingcheng pouted, âI was asking if you want to attend the Royal Dance celebration banquet tonight.â
Huo Sicheng asked Gu Qingcheng, âDo you want me to go?â
âYouâre not someone who likes lively events,â Gu Qingcheng shook her head, âIâm just making an appearance and then planning to go home. Actually, whether I attend the banquet or not doesnât 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 didnât invite you, making you unhappy.â
âYouâre overthinking it. I wouldnât be unhappy with any decision you make,â Huo Sicheng indicated to Gu Qingcheng, pausing before adding, âNo, except for some bad decisions you make about me, I would be unhappy, but otherwise, Iâll listen to you.â
Gu Qingchengâs eyes flickered, understanding what Huo Sicheng was referring to â her previous decision to divorce him.
She stared deeply at Huo Sicheng for a while, then asked him, âWould you like to eat something I cooked?â
Huo Sicheng replied without hesitation, âYes.â
âLetâs go,â Gu Qingcheng took Huo Sichengâs hand, âBack home.â
Huo Sicheng was surprised, âArenât you going to the celebration banquet?â Gu Qingchengâs lips curved up as she winked at Huo Sicheng, âI told you, I donât have to attend the celebration banquet.â
Huo Sicheng, âZiyu is a student you value highly.â
âDonât forget that Ziyu is also a student valued by my master Li Jing,â Gu Qingcheng leaned in and kissed Huo Sichengâs lips, âWhen I used to not frequently visit Royal Dance School, my master handled everything, and the celebration banquet was held without me.â
Huo Sichengâs phoenix eyes glowed as he looked at Gu Qingcheng, his lips slightly curving.
âLetâs go. Weâre heading home.â
Gu Qingcheng grinned, âLetâs go.â
When Qi Shaoze couldnât 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 Shaozeâs 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 Meiâs voice came through.
âHey, Qi Dashao, you finally called me. Iâve been waiting for your call for days.â
Qi Shaozeâs eyes were filled with malice, his voice cold, âYou kept sending your number to me, I naturally couldnât disappoint you.â
Gu Mei giggled, âThank you, Qi Dashao, for accepting my phone number.â Qi Shaoze, âDinner tonight.â
âTonight?â Gu Mei was surprised, âMy sisterâs student won the championship, and Royal Dance is having a celebration banquet tonight. Youâre a good friend of my sister; she will definitely invite you. Isnât it inappropriate for you to dine with me instead?â
Qi Shaoze knew Gu Mei was mocking him.
He could attend the Royal Dance celebration banquet without Gu Qingchengâs invitation.
But Gu Meiâs comment that he could only attend with Gu Qingchengâs invitation clearly mocked that Gu Qingcheng no longer cared about him. He was angry but, thinking of Huo Sichengâs annoying face just now, he said
sternly, âAre you going to have dinner or not?â
