Chapter 282: I’m Your Husband

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Qingcheng felt a constriction in her heart upon hearing the name Ji Sisi. She suddenly had a bit of a headache and her mood worsened.

Li Jing didn’t need to mention Ji Sisi, but every time she did, it made Gu Qingcheng feel even more that Huo Sicheng was fickle and despicable.

“Qingcheng?” Seeing that Gu Qingcheng didn’t respond, Li Jing frowned, “Has President Huo really reconciled with Ji Sisi?”

Gu Qingcheng suddenly snapped back to reality, quickly calming her chaotic thoughts.

“No,” she replied to Li Jing, “Huo Sicheng hasn’t reconciled with Ji Sisi. There’s another woman involved.”

Li Jing was stunned, “Another woman?”

“Don’t ask about it, Master,” Gu Qingcheng didn’t want to continue on this topic. She changed the subject, “Did you receive about forty million in funds?”

“Fifty million,” Li Jing corrected Gu Qingcheng, “The finance department informed me after receiving it, saying it was the money you had borrowed and returned to you.”

Gu Qingcheng was astonished, “Fifty million?”

Lu Chi had returned the money for accompanying her back to the Gu family as a bodyguard, for the doctor, and for provoking Huo Sicheng, without deducting any amount, giving her a split of fifty million.

His behavior surprised her.

Li Jing asked Gu Qingcheng, “Is the fifty million for you to take or for the school?”

“For the school.” Gu Qingcheng took out her phone, “I’ll make a call. See if the students are ready. If they are, I’ll leave after the call.”

“Okay,” said Li Jing.

As Li Jing left, Gu Qingcheng dialed Lu Chi’s number, which took a long time to be answered.

“Why is it fifty million?” she asked Lu Chi, “Why didn’t you deduct your bodyguard fee when you followed me back to the Gu family?”

“Contacting me for such a trivial matter, you’re really wasting time.”

Lu Chi’s voice sounded groggy and raspy from sleep, irresistibly alluring.

Gu Qingcheng’s ears tingled at his voice, her heart skipping a beat.

She cleared her throat, hastily composing herself.

“Lu Chi, this is not a small matter. We need to settle our accounts clearly, you…”

Before she could finish, Lu Chi hung up the phone, which displeased her.

Lu Chi hanging up implied he didn’t want her money, but she couldn’t owe him such a favor.

She dialed the finance department of Di Yi, instructing them to transfer ten million and send someone to deliver it to the Lu family mansion.

Although she had a conflict with Huo Sicheng, they were still married. As a married woman, she had to maintain a distance from all men.

She maintained her integrity, while Huo Sicheng flirted around.

At the Peach Lotus Cup event, Gu Qingcheng’s arrival attracted all the media.

Under the flashing lights, Gu Qingcheng was dignified and elegant, stunningly beautiful, automatically prompting the hungry media to snap away with their cameras.

Qi Shaoze, upon learning of Gu Qingcheng’s attendance, hurried to the scene.

As the media saw Qi Shaoze arrive, they interviewed him, “President Qi is really concerned about Principal Gu. Wherever Principal Gu is, President Qi appears.” “President Qi and Principal Gu share a deep relationship.”

“President Qi, the whole internet is paying attention to your relationship. When will you and Principal Gu make your relationship public?”

“President Qi, how do you view the affair between Principal Gu’s younger sister and her ex-boyfriend? Has Principal Gu told you the inside story?” “When will you and Principal Gu announce your relationship and get married?”

Qi Shaoze, in a blue suit, tall and graceful, exuded an elegant laziness, especially his peach blossom eyes that sparkled with a charming smile.

“You’ve misunderstood, Principal Gu and I are just good friends, not boyfriend and girlfriend as you say. Please stop spreading such news and troubling Principal Gu.”

“President Qi is being modest. Since you’re friends, it’s impossible for you to always be trending.”

“Right, right, President Qi, is it because of the current hot topic about Gu Mei that you’re reluctant to make your relationship with Principal Gu public?”

Qi Shaoze was about to clarify to the media that he and Gu Qingcheng were just friends when he saw Huo Sicheng approaching from a distance.

Surprise flickered in his peach blossom eyes, then his smile grew even brighter.

When he had just arrived, he saw Gu Qingcheng had finished her interview

with the media and left. Now, only he was left to be interviewed.

He raised his voice to the media, “If you say so, there’s nothing I can do. I’ve explained many times.”

“But President Qi’s explanation seems more like a cover-up.”

“President Qi, tell us how you met Principal Gu. What’s the current status of your relationship?”

As Qi Shaoze watched Huo Sicheng draw nearer, he raised his voice, “Principal Gu and I have a close relationship. As friends for many years, we share everything. Don’t ask about our development; it’s rude to ask about the photos of us together that were secretly taken and trending last time.”

At that moment, Huo Sicheng looked at Qi Shaoze. As his son Huo Xuan said, whenever Gu Qingcheng attended the Peach Lotus Cup, Qi Shaoze would surely come.

Listening to Qi Shaoze’s intimate words about Gu Qingcheng, he felt a surge of jealousy, his hands clenching into fists.

Knowing that Qi Shaoze was doing it on purpose, he was still angered.

Jealousy.

He was unbearably jealous!

But now he had no right to ask Gu Qingcheng to stay away from Qi Shaoze. Hoping for Gu Qingcheng to speak to him was already a luxury, let alone asking her to distance herself from Qi Shaoze.

With a heart full of jealousy, he took the VIP passageway to the backstage of the Peach Lotus Cup.

Backstage was bustling with people. His gaze fell on a nearby rest room, Gu Qingcheng’s resting area.

He saw Li Jing leaving the rest room. Seeing no one around for the moment, he quickly wheeled himself into the rest room.

“Master, I’ve seen the last Tang Dance. I think at the end, Zi Yu’s hand gesture should be a bit more to the left. What do you think?”

Gu Qingcheng, who was watching a video, turned around when Li Jing didn’t respond.

She was startled at first sight.

A tall figure in a black, neatly tailored suit, exuding noble elegance, with a strikingly handsome face that transcended gender boundaries. Under his ink-like eyebrows, his long and narrow phoenix eyes were filled with a gentle, watery softness.

His eyes were so bright, like stars appearing before her, making her heart race and her whole body tremble with excitement.

“Huo Sicheng, what are you doing here?” She quickly regained her composure, hiding her feelings for Huo Sicheng, and looked at him displeased, “This is my private rest room. No unauthorized people are allowed.”

Huo Sicheng didn’t speak, just slowly approached Gu Qingcheng.

“I’m not just anyone.”

Gu Qingcheng couldn’t denv that Huo Sicheng was her husband, but his abrupt entry into her rest room at the Peach Lotus Cup was rude to her.

“In this place, you are just anyone.”

Huo Sicheng gazed intently at Gu Qingcheng, his voice soft, “When Qi Shaoze comes in later, will he be just anyone like me?”
