Gu Qingcheng froze.
This voice…
Her sleepy eyes instantly widened as she hurriedly observed the ceiling above her.
On the ceiling was a dark golden rose pattern, which was exactly the same as the one she had seen before she went to bed.
Here!
It was indeed Qi Shaoze’s guest room.
She’d hammer him to death when they’d meet after this.
She had only gone to Qi Shaoze’s house to sleep because she did not want Huo Sicheng to find her.
In the end, Qi Shaoze allowed Huo Sicheng to enter his house and even entered the guest room where she slept.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and turned around.
With one glance…
She exploded!
“Qi Shaoze!” She picked up a pillow and threw it at Qi Shaoze. “You wanna die?!”
“Hahaha…” Qi Shaoze turned his head away from the pillow and smiled as he held his phone. “It’s a good thing that technology is so advanced now. I got my company to synthesize Huo Sicheng’s voice. Look at how scared you were. It seems that you, a proud little demon, have met the big demon Huo Sicheng.”
Gu Qingcheng gritted her teeth in anger. She lifted the blanket and was about to hit Qi Shaoze.
“I’m not afraid of Huo Sicheng!”
“You can’t hit my face.” Qi Shaoze quickly covered his face, afraid that Gu
Qingcheng would beat him half to death. He shouted, “No, you can’t hit me either. If you hit me, I won’t pretend to be your boyfriend.”
Gu Qingcheng’s outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and she pulled it back angrily.
“At least you’re sensible enough to pretend to be my boyfriend. Otherwise, I’ll beat you to death.”
Seeing that Gu Qingcheng didn’t hit him, Qi Shaoze grinned and said seriously,
“You want me to pretend to be your boyfriend just because Huo Sihcheng and Ji Sisi are trending? If you don’t want to live with him anymore, just divorce him directly.”
Gu Qingcheng sat on the bed angrily.
“I took the initiative to file for a divorce. He didn’t agree to the divorce!”
Not only did she tell Huo Sicheng about the divorce, but he also beat her up.
Now, whenever she thought of the scene when she was beaten up, she would feel embarrassed and angry.
“He doesn’t agree to the divorce. Then I have to think of a way to divorce him.” She glared at Qi Shaoze angrily. “Wasn’t he showing off his love for Ji Sisi? Well, you and I will show him what’s up.”
Qi Shaoze reminded Gu Qingcheng, “You don’t seem like you’re forcing him to get a divorce. Instead, you’re trying to anger him because you’re jealous.”
“I’m not jealous.” That was what Gu Qingcheng said.
In fact, when she thought of Huo Sicheng and Ji Sisi showing off their love, she felt a sourness coming out of her gut.
However, she was serious this time. It was not as simple as jealousy.
Qi Shaoze saw the determination in Gu Qingcheng’s eyes and said gently, “You must be hungry. Come, let’s go to the dining room.”
In the dining hall.
“My grandson told me that his girlfriend is coming over. But I never thought his girlfriend would be you,” A loud voice rang out.
Gu Qingcheng, who was eating, looked over and saw the imposing Qi Dehao, who was wearing a black tunic suit and holding a dragon-headed walking stick.
“Grandpa.” Qi Shaoze greeted her warmly and didn’t forget to put food into Gu Qingcheng’s bowl.
Gu Qingcheng stood up gracefully and pretended to be Qi Shaoze’s girlfriend.
She had to address him the same way.
“Good afternoon, Grandpa,” she greeted politely.
“I’ve heard of you, but this is the first time I’m seeing you in person.” Qi Dehao nodded at Gu Qingcheng and sat at the dining table. “She looks like your mother, once the most beautiful woman in Jiang City.”
Gu Qingcheng didn’t expect that someone else would still remember her mother.
Her heart warmed. “Thank you, Grandpa, for remembering my mother.”
Qi Dehao waved his hand at Gu Qingcheng, indicating for her to sit down.
“I know you’ve known my precious grandson for many years.” He asked her, “But isn’t your boyfriend the young master of the Qin family, Qin Jun? Why are you two dating again?”
Gu Qingcheng knew that Qi Dehao lived a secluded life and didn’t care about the affairs of the world.
He slapped the Qin and Gu families in the face at her engagement party. The Qin and Gu families had suppressed this matter to not embarrass themselves. It was normal for him not to know that she had broken up with Qin Jun.
“We broke up a long time ago.” She put on a full act and put her arm around Qi Shaoze’s arm. “Qin Jun isn’t suitable for me. Shaoze is the better option.” Qi Dehao raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi Shaoze.
When Qi Shaoze heard Gu Qingcheng calling him Shaoze and acting coquettishly, he seemed to be having difficulty holding back his laughter. His handsome face twisted slightly.
“Does your father know about this?” Qi Dehao asked Gu Qingcheng kindly, “The wealthy families in Jiang City have always been close. I’m not against you dating my grandson. It’s just that Qin Chong, your father, and I know each other. It’s best to be open about this matter to avoid misunderstandings.” “Grandpa, don’t you worry,” Qi Shaoze said. “I’ll handle this.”
Qi Dehao nodded. “You have to handle it properly so the harmony between our three families won’t be hurt.’
“Don’t worry, Grandpa.” Gu Qingcheng was full of confidence. She would take care of the situation with Shaoze.
She had wanted to explain to Qi Dehao that she was not Gu Tianhao’s daughter, but she remembered that Gu Tianhao had rejected her request to sever their father-daughter relationship.
Just as Qi Dehao had said, the wealthy families in Jiang City were all very familiar with each other. Gu Tianhao shamelessly denied severing ties with them, so Qi Dehao would definitely believe Gu Tianhao.
She was in control of the current situation and did not want Qi Dehao to step in and mess up her plans. Therefore, she had to keep quiet about things that should not be explained.
After dinner, Gu Qingcheng and Qi Shaoze accompanied Qi Dehao for tea in the tea room.
“After this cup of tea, come with me.” Gu Qingcheng lowered her voice. “I’m going to see my grandfather’s estate lawyer. I’ll sign it today if I can.”
“Alright.”
“Right, Shaoze.” Qi Dehao sipped his tea slowly and admired the lotus leaves.
“Did you tell your mother about this?”
Qi Shaoze pretended to be Gu Qingcheng’s boyfriend. He hadn’t planned to tell his mother about it, but when Grandpa asked, he had no choice but to tell her the truth.
“I was thinking that I would tell my mom when Qingcheng and I got engaged so that I could give her a big surprise.”
Gu Qingcheng couldn’t keep a smile on her face.
She had not even gotten a divorce yet, and Qi Shaoze was already thinking of getting engaged to her.
In order to be the mistress for a month, Qi Shaoze worked even harder than her.
“There’s no need.” Qi Dehao smiled. “Your mother knows Qingcheng. It’s already the biggest surprise if you just say it. She can also prepare for your engagement or wedding.”
At that moment, the butler walked into the dining room with a nervous expression. He walked to Qi Dehao’s side and whispered into his ear. Qi Dehao’s eyes flashed with surprise. “Why is he here?”
Qi Shaoze rarely saw his grandfather in shock and asked, “Grandpa, what happened?”
“A distinguished guest has come to our house.” Qi Dehao smiled kindly and looked at the butler. “Take out my precious Great Fortune Red Tea and serve it to them.”
The butler left.
“Grandpa, since you want to meet a guest, Shaoze and I won’t disturb you.” Gu Qingcheng finished the tea in her hand. Qi Dehao was about to meet a guest, so she had a legitimate reason to leave. “I’m going out shopping with Shaoze.”
“Gu Qingcheng, you’re leaving just because I’m here?” A cold, deep, and magnetic voice sounded, carrying a sharp and domineering aura.. “Are you that afraid of me?”
