Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the other end of the phone, Qi Shaoze seemed frightened by Gu Qingcheng’s yelling and didn’t speak for a good while.

Gu Qingcheng was annoyed. “Qi Shaoze, are you dead?”

“Your Majesty, please calm down.” Qi Shaoze then said, “Hit me when you come to see me. I’ll do it for you.”

Gu Qingcheng was furious at the thought of her being on the hot search list.

She roared, “I’m not just going to hit you. I’m going to hit you to death.”

Qi Shaoze begged for mercy. “Fine, fine, fine. I’ll beat you until you’re appeased.”

“Just you wait!” Gu Qingcheng hung up angrily.

She stepped on the gas, and the sports car roared deafeningly as it sped on the wide and empty road.

Suddenly, she remembered Huo Sicheng’s warning that she should take it slow. He was worried about her words and eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously released the brakes and drove slowly.

She pushed the door open and entered the private room of the cafe. She saw Qi Shaoze sitting by the window, wearing a brown suit and looking elegant. He was enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the window and drinking leisurely.

She rolled up her sleeves and aggressively walked toward Qi Shaoze.

“You dog. Why don’t you just drink from a toilet bowl instead of visiting the cafe?”

Qi Shaoze’s gentlemanly aura was instantly shattered when he saw Gu Qingcheng’s ferocious look.

The first thing he did was not to protect his body but to protect the wine glass. He said with a sly look, “Don’t hit my face. You can hit anywhere else.” Seeing Qi Shaoze’s funny face, Gu Qingcheng burst out laughing.

“Ahh, I was just scaring you. Do you really think I’m going to hit you?” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Qi Shaoze looked at Gu Qingcheng, who was suddenly smiling at him warmly. He looked as if he had seen a ghost.

“What? Aren’t you going to hit me?”

Gu Qingcheng’s eyes curved as she smiled, and she said softly, “No.”

Qi Shaoze heaved a sigh of relief.

Taking advantage of Qi Shaoze’s relaxed state, Gu Qingcheng snatched the

wine glass from his body.

Suddenly, she saw Qi Shaoze staring at the wine glass in her hand in panic.

“Lady, my wine…” Qi Shaoze was frightened. “It’s very expensive. Don’t pour it.

You can hit me, but don’t pour my wine.”

Gu Qingcheng was pleased to see Qi Shaoze so nervous about the glass of wine. She raised her hand, but not only did she not pour the wine, she even threw the glass away.

Qi Shaoze watched helplessly as the wine glass shattered and his body cracked.

“My wine…” He looked at Gu Qingcheng, who was looking at him with a punishing expression, and felt wronged. “It’s not my fault. If you want to blame someone, blame Gu Tianhao and Chu He. I used Movie King Jiang to block it, but I didn’t expect them to pay more than me. I made a mistake.”

Gu Qingcheng frowned. “Gu Tianhao? Chu He? The reporters were all here last night. You should have taken all their negatives. Why didn’t you give them enough money? If you lack money, why don’t you tell me? I don’t dare to say anything else, but I definitely have money.”

Qi Shaoze had a complicated look in her eyes when he heard Gu Qingcheng’s words.

“Do I look like someone who needs money?” He sighed and sat down. He picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip before saying, “I bought the stock of the film, but someone kept them and sold them to Gu Tianhao at a high price. This is where I miscalculated.

“Most importantly, those people who sold the trending searches didn’t accept my money. This clearly shows that Gu Tianhao gave me a high price and misused his power.” The more he spoke, the angrier he got. He looked at Gu

Qingcheng and said, “You heard what my grandfather said last time. All of the Qi family’s assets have been transferred overseas, so it’s a little difficult to fight Gu Tianhao in Jiang City.”

Gu Qingcheng frowned as she sat opposite Qi Shaoze.

When she heard Gu Tianhao’s name, she was no longer angry at Qi Shaoze for his mistake.

Just as Qi Shaoze had said, Gu Tianhao had a lot of influence in Rivertown.

“Don’t worry. I’ve already sent the public relations to lobby for it.” Qi Shaoze comforted Gu Qingcheng. “I have plenty of money. As long as these people are willing to pay me a price, I’ll buy the trending searches no matter how much it costs. Then, I’ll expose some of Mr. Jiang’s hot gossip and put it on the trending searches to clear your name.”

Gu Qingcheng thought of Huo Sicheng and asked Qi Shaoze, “How long will it take to remove our news from the trending searches?”

She couldn’t let the trending searches continue to ruin her relationship with Huo Sicheng.

“I’ll inform you immediately it there’s any news.” A complicated look flashed across Qi Shaoze’s eyes before he comforted Gu Qingcheng. “Don’t worry.”

Gu Qingcheng didn’t reply to Qi Shaoze. Instead, she took out her phone and started reading the news.

Just as Mr. Zhao had said, the photos of her beating up Chu He and Qi Shaoze as a couple were at the top of the rankings on all the major websites.

She had to admit that Chu He was too scheming. The reporters she found were very good at taking photos.

The angle of the photo was perfect. It showed that she had raised her hand to hit Chu He. There were even a few seconds of video. She opened it to take a look. Although there was no sound, no matter from which angle, it was obvious that she had hit Chu He.

What was worse was that she was standing next to Qi Shaoze. Not only was his arm around her shoulder photographed, but there was also a few seconds of video recording. It happened to capture Qi Shaoze calling her baby.

She gritted her teeth in anger and raised her hand to throw the phone at Qi Shaoze.

“Qi Shaoze, you’re dead!”

Qi Shaoze was so frightened by Gu Qingcheng’s actions that he subconsciously covered his face with his hands. After a long while, he realized that Gu

Qingcheng hadn’t thrown her phone at him, and he heaved a sigh of relief.

Gu Qingcheng almost smashed Qi Shaoze with her phone, but she caught sight of the flower petals on the phone. Her mind was filled with images of Huo Sicheng’s gentle face.

She immediately calmed down and wiped her phone with a tissue like a baby.

This was Huo Sicheng’s first gift to her, and she didn’t want to throw it at Qi Shaoze.

If she broke her phone, her heart would ache.

Qi Shaoze saw the look on Gu Qingcheng’s face, and the gentleness in her eyes made him frown.

“Who gave you this phone?”

“Huo Sicheng,” Gu Qingcheng said without hesitation.

Qi Shaoze’s expression froze, and his sloppy attitude immediately became serious.

“Are you kidding me? How could you accept Huo Sicheng’s gift?” he asked Gu Qingcheng. Throw it away, and I’ll give you a new phone.

“I’m not throwing it away.” Gu Qingcheng tapped on the comments and said happily, “This is the first gift Huo Sicheng gave me.”

The first comment read, [I heard that Gu Qingcheng was scolding her father at home, beating up her stepmother and even her stepsister. How can such a shameless woman be a principal? How can she live in this world? Hurry up and kill her.]

She looked over, and her anger rose.

[Even though she’s a stepmother, Gu Qingcheng can’t hit someone. She’s the principal of Royal Dance Academy. How can she be a role model for her students if she’s so unfilial?]

[The principal of Royal Dance Academy, the number one socialite in Jiang City, the number one classical dancer, and Miss Gu—Under the guise of glamorous titles hides an unfilial, disgusting, and evil heart.]

[It’s a pity that the CEO of Star Dream Entertainment, Qi Shaoze, was blind to fall for a wicked girl like Gu Qingcheng.]

[Stinky b*tch, you have a good figure. When are you going to take off your clothes for an X-ray? I promise to look at it every day.]

There were all kinds of insults in the comments, and her anger rose.

Chu He and Gu Tianhao were worth the price of these hot searches. They were all Internet trolls who scolded her and ruined her reputation.

“Stop looking.” Qi Shaoze took the phone from Gu Qingcheng’s hands. “Do you really think Gu Tianhao, who hates you, will hire a troll army to put in a good word for you?”

“My phone.” Gu Qingcheng nervously snatched the phone from Qi Shaoze’s hand and said angrily, “You still have the nerve to say that? Forget it if I beat Chu He up. I warned you not to call me baby. You never learned your lesson! If you didn’t call me baby, would I have become a couple with you and become a trending topic?”

“I’m used to calling you baby.” Qi Shaoze’s eyes darkened as he whispered, “Besides, you’re my treasure. No one can snatch my treasure.”

“I’m not an item.” Gu Qingcheng glared at Qi Shaoze unhappily. “How can you describe me as a robber?”

“Alright, calm down. This is all my fault.” Qi Shaoze suppressed his displeasure, which he shouldn’t have shown, and put on a lackey expression as he coaxed Gu Qingcheng.

“But it’s good that we’re trending as a couple this time.

“After all, you just happen to lack a reason to divorce Huo Sicheng. The entire city will know you’re my girlfriend from this trending thing. In the future, he can’t announce your marriage to the public. People talk about you and me too much. If he hears too much, it’s enough to make him angry. This way, you can divorce him smoothly. So you should thank me, not beat me up.”

Then, he asked seriously, “After being trending for so long, Huo Sicheng should have looked for you.. Did he agree to the divorce?”
