Huo Sicheng’s eyes lit up faintly.

He looked at Gu Qingcheng, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Gu Qingcheng stared at Huo Sicheng.

Wait.

She waited for him to answer her question.

However, after waiting for a long time, the only hope in her heart was extinguished by his silence.

Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng’s eyes, which were shining brightly, and his heart ached. He said, “I…” I like you.

But before Huo Sicheng could finish, Gu Qingcheng interrupted him.

“By the way, why did you suddenly invest 30 billion in Royal Dance? Don’t be silent, I want to know.”

She had never been afraid of anything in her past life or this life.

But at this moment, she was afraid. She was afraid that Huo Sicheng would say that he didn’t like her.

She would never allow Huo Sicheng to trample on her desire and hope.

Huo Sicheng was silent for a long time before he said, “Gu Tianhao offered three times the price of the original investors of Royal Dance and asked them to withdraw their investment. Now that the Peach Lotus Cup is about to be held, Royal Dance can’t do without investors and bonuses. Every year, the Peach Lotus and Royal Dance had always been the darling of media interviews, and this year is no exception.”

“So, you want to slap Gu Tianhao in the face? Or is it for my investment? Tell me the truth,” Gu Qingcheng asked.

Huo Sicheng said without hesitation, “For you.”

Gu Qingcheng smiled brightly. “That would be my honor.

She stood up and walked to the door, but after taking two steps, she stopped.

“I refuse your investment.”

Huo Sicheng’s handsome face stiffened, and he said in a deep voice, “Why?” “No reason.” Gu Qingcheng continued to walk.

“Stop!” Huo Sicheng sternly raised his voice. He didn’t stop when he saw Gu Qingcheng. He said coldly, “You don’t want me to help you because you want to give Qi Shaoze a chance?”

Gu Qingcheng finally stopped in her tracks. She turned around and smiled at the angry Huo Sicheng.

“Yes.” She nodded. “Qi Shaoze and I can’t be a couple, but we can still be friends. It’s only right that good friends help each other. I’ll go find him to help me. I believe you’re broad-minded enough to ignore how I am with my friends.” Huo Sicheng was rendered speechless by Gu Qingcheng’s words.

If they couldn’t be a couple, they could be friends. He couldn’t let Gu Qingcheng have no friends.

She was a friend, yet she was also a thorn in his flesh.

“Don’t worry.” Gu Qingcheng smiled. “Qi Shaoze and I are just friends. I had dinner with him last night. I went back to the villa after dinner. Nothing happened. Besides, you’re such a generous man. You won’t get angry or jealous, will you?”

She didn’t wait for Huo Siqian’s reply and left with a bright smile.

Huo Sicheng’s face was livid.

He was generous?

He was not generous at all.

He was so petty that only he could tolerate Gu Qingcheng!

He looked at the documents on the table and was furious.

“President Huo…” Chu Yu walked in carefully. “Get ready for the meeting. It’s about to start.”

“Cancel the meeting.” Huo Sicheng’s face darkened. “Prepare the car.”

“Yes, President Huo.”

After Gu Qingcheng left Huo Corporation, the tension in her heart suddenly broke.

She had never felt such a sense of defeat before, and it made her feel extremely miserable.

Turning a new page.

Was this the end of her relationship with Huo Sicheng?

The so-called starting over was just her hope and self-deception.

It seemed that she and Huo Sicheng didn’t need to get along anymore. They only needed to wait for a year before they stopped loving each other. Her phone suddenly rang, and she saw that it was Qi Shaoze.

Coincidentally, she also wanted to meet him.

In the cafe, Qi Shaoze looked at Gu Qingcheng with a glass in his hand.

“Listen to my explanation. I didn’t know about the trending searches. I…”

He was so nervous that he wanted to explain, but Gu Qingcheng was sitting in front of him with a calm expression on her face. He stopped talking.

“What’s wrong?” His voice softened. “You look completely different from the queen I know. The queen I know will definitely kick me or punch me when she sees today’s trending searches. She definitely won’t be so quiet.”

Gu Qingcheng didn’t know why, but she felt weak all over. She didn’t have the strength to speak at all. She just sat there quietly.

“Lady, what’s wrong with you?” Qi Shaoze’s eyes were filled with heartache.

“I’ve already sent someone to remove the trending searches.”

In his eyes, Gu Qingcheng seemed to be immersed in her own world, ignoring his existence.

“Did Huo Sicheng get angry and scold you? I told you not to start over with him,” he said angrily. “You just refuse to listen. Last night, we were secretly photographed and trending. It must have angered him.

“How could he be angry at you? We’re friends. Can’t we have a meal together? In the end, Huo Sicheng is still too petty. You had already moved on with him and started anew, yet he hurt you like this. It’s too much.

“Your Majesty, just get a divorce. If you don’t, you’ll never have a day of peace,” he advised Gu Qingcheng. “You and Huo Sicheng were never on the same side from the beginning. You deserve a better man, a better marriage, and better happiness.”

Gu Qingcheng didn’t say anything, but there was an inquisitive look in her eyes.

However, she looked away and took out a card from her bag, and placed it on the table.

“This card doesn’t have a password.” She looked at Qi Shaoze and said softly, “Every time I ask you to spend money to remove the trending searches, I feel a little embarrassed.”

Qi Shaoze was shocked. “Do you still treat me as your brother? What do you mean by giving me money? Do you think I lack money?”

“You’re not going to cut ties with me because of Huo Sicheng, are you?” He was shocked. “You’ve already deprived me of calling you ‘baby’ for Huo Sicheng. You can’t take away our brotherhood, can you?”

“You think too much.” Gu Qingcheng shook her head at Qi Shaoze. “I know how rich you are. I’ll give you the money. Just keep it. You won’t take my money, which means you don’t treat me as a brother.”

Qi Shaoze opened his mouth. “Yes, I’ll accept it. As long as we’re still brothers and good friends.”

Gu Qingcheng picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, leaving a red lipstick mark on the cup.

“I came here just to give you this card.” She stood up. “I have to deal with something else now. By the way, the money in the card is enough for you to remove the previous trending searches. There’s still extra money. We’ll use it the next time we go trending.”

Qi Shaoze’s expression changed. He hadn’t expected Gu Qingcheng to mention that she would be trending again.

“Why are you in such a hurry to leave? To deal with what?” he quickly asked her. “This trending search has nothing to do with me. Gu Tianhao and Chu He must have done it on purpose. This is too much. I want to find evidence against them and make them trending.”

Gu Qingcheng didn’t say anything. She walked away in her high heels.

Qi Shaoze watched Gu Qingcheng leave. He didn’t stop her because he knew that he couldn’t stop her from leaving.

He sat down where Gu Qingcheng had been sitting, and his gaze fell on the lipstick stain on the coffee cup.

He raised his hand and gently stroked the lipstick stain with his fingertips…

The doorknob suddenly turned. Qi Shaoze thought that Gu Qingcheng had returned, and he turned to look at the door with a face full of joy.

“My queen, I knew you couldn’t bear to part with me. I also…” His voice came suddenly.

The smile on his face was instantly replaced by coldness when he saw who it

was.. “Why are you here?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
