Gu Qingcheng stared at Qi Shaoze without saying a word.

Qi Shaoze’s eyes were filled with anxiety. “Qingcheng, we can’t let this matter drag on. We have to make a decision.”

“I…” Gu Qingcheng’s expression was complicated. “I think…

“What else?” Qi Shaoze urged Gu Qingcheng, “You’ve always been decisive. Why are you so wishy-washy when it comes to Huo Sicheng? Choosing one out of two is such a simple option. You can just choose one at will.”

Seeing that Gu Qingcheng still didn’t say anything, he continued to persuade her, “Qingcheng, don’t forget that he and you have always been enemies with him. If he suddenly doesn’t want a divorce, he might avenge you for mocking him in the past.”

“No.” Gu Qingcheng said with certainty, “He’s not taking revenge on me for mistreating him in the past.”

Qi Shaoze looked doubtful. “You believe me? Just because he said, he doesn’t care about your past?” Gu Qingcheng asked in a hoarse voice.

She believed what Huo Sicheng said.

However, Qi Shaoze had previously given her so much analysis, and she did not believe him.

Qi Shaoze looked at her and reminded her, “You have to be decisive. Your indecisiveness can easily hurt you.”

“Of course, I know how to be decisive.” Gu Qingcheng’s eyes darkened. “But all the options you gave me were divorce.”

Qi Shaoze was shocked. “Do you still want to be married to Huo Sicheng now?”

Gu Qingcheng shook her head. “I didn’t say that.”

“The fact that you can say something like this means you want to be Huo Sicheng’s wife.” Qi Shaoze was helpless and anxious. “Be more careful. I want you to get a divorce. I want you to be happy and not fall into Huo Sicheng’s hands. If you still don’t want to get a divorce at this point, you will be trapped in pain every day, just like now.”

He continued reminding Gu Qingcheng, “Don’t forget that you must inherit your inheritance. Your dancing career needs hard work, and even the matter of Chu He that you’ve asked me to investigate is waiting for your resolution. You can’t be dragged down by Huo Sicheng alone and fall into this quagmire.”

Chu He that you’ve asked me to investigate is waiting for your resolution. You can’t be dragged down by Huo Sicheng alone and fall into this quagmire.”

Gu Qingcheng stared at Qi Shaoze. After a while, she said, “I will handle this matter.”

“Qingcheng…” Qi Shaoze was anxious. “How are you going to deal with this?

Tell me.”

“I’ll let you know when I’m done,” Gu Qingcheng said.

“Divorce?” Qi Shaoze asked Gu Qingcheng anxiously. “Don’t get a divorce, please?”

Gu Qingcheng didn’t answer Qi Shaoze. Instead, she said softly, “Send me back to the city.”

Qi Shaoze opened his mouth to ask Gu Qingcheng for an answer, but he saw she looked tired and didn’t want to talk. In the end, he could only nod.

Gu Qingcheng returned to the clubhouse and separated from Qi Shaoze.

As she drove to school, her mind was filled with Qi Shaoze’s exhortation to divorce Huo Sicheng.

She knew that Qi Shaoze wanted her to be happy.

But to her, her heart told herself that the only happiness in her life could only come from one person.

She made a new decision.

Gu Qingcheng stopped her car at the school gate. She looked up and saw Huo Xuan standing there all alone.

She held her breath and hurriedly exited the car to walk over. “Xuan’er.”

When Huo Xuan saw Gu Qingcheng, his eyes lit up, and his angelic face lit up with joy.

“Mommy…” He spread his arms and ran toward Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng reached out and pulled Huo Xuan into her arms. Seeing him made her heart, which had been depressed for the whole day, extremely joyous.

“Baby, do you miss Mommy?”

“Yes.” Huo Xuan nodded obediently and emphasized, “I really, really do.”

“Mommy also misses you.” Gu Qingcheng rested her forehead on Huo Xuan’s. “Come on, let’s go home.”

“Our school has a mission tonight.” Huo Xuan rolled his eves. and a cunning look flashed across them. He said sweetly in a tender voice, “I’m going to the aquarium to see the fish. Then, I have to draw it and hand it in tomorrow.”

Gu Qingcheng did not notice the look in Huo Xuan’s eyes. She replied, “Alright, we’ll do whatever my good son says. Let’s go. Mommy will take you to the aquarium.”

Huo Xuan was overjoyed in Gu Qingcheng’s arms. “Yay! Let’s go!”

“Mom, I’m hungry.” When they were about to reach the aquarium, he said, “Should we eat first?” We’ll go and see the fish after dinner.”

“Sure.” When Gu Qingcheng replied to Huo Xuan, she looked around for good restaurants.

Her gaze fell on a French restaurant not far away. Her eyes were shocked as she thought of some uncomfortable past events.

Huo Xuan followed Gu Qingcheng’s gaze and pointed at the French restaurant.

“That restaurant looks very fancy. Let’s eat here.”

Gu Qingcheng looked in the direction Huo Xuan was pointing and saw that it was the restaurant she had been looking at earlier.

“Sure,” She answered and turned the car around. “We’ll have a candlelight dinner.”

Huo Xuan, sitting in the backseat, looked at Gu Qingcheng. “Mom, can I borrow your phone?”

“What’s wrong?” Gu Qingcheng asked as she took out her phone. “Who do you want to contact?”

Huo Xuan smiled cutely. “I forgot to call Grandpa Zhao to tell him that I won’t be home for dinner tonight.”

Gu Qingcheng pressed the power button, and when she turned on her phone, she received a missed call from Huo Sicheng.

Her eyes darkened, and her heart instantly ached.

After taking two deep breaths, she handed the phone to Huo Xuan.

“Do you know how to use a phone?”

“Mom, have you forgotten?” Huo Xuan took Gu Qingcheng’s phone and pointed at her father’s number. “I know how to play on the computer, so of course, I know how to use the phone.”

Gu Qingcheng was embarrassed. She then remembered that Huo Xuan was a very good hacker.

At this moment, Huo Xuan quickly sent a text message and deleted the message on his phone. Then, he called Grandpa Zhao and said he wouldn’t return for dinner.

The best French restaurant in Jiang City was located on the east side of East Lake. It was a 22-story building near the window, featuring a panoramic night view of East Lake.

The restaurant was decorated romantically and was suitable for couples.

The candlelight was placed on the table, and the night scenery outside the window was extremely beautiful.

Gu Qingcheng looked out the window, seemingly enjoying the beautiful scenery, but her face was full of thoughts.

Huo Xuan, sitting opposite her, tilted her head and asked curiously, “What is

Mom thinking about?”

Gu Qingcheng snapped back to reality and smiled gently at Huo Xuan.

“I remember the last time your father gave me a phone as a gift. I booked a candlelight dinner at this restaurant.” She looked regretful. “I wanted to surprise him, but it didn’t work out. I even quarreled with your father.” “I see.” Huo Xuan understood. “You can contact him now and ask him to come over.”

He pointed at the table. “Look, roses and red wine. How romantic.”

“He’s just a blind blockhead. If he comes, let alone romance, there won’t even be any waves. It’s more romantic to be with you.” Gu Qingcheng turned to look at the dining room, surprised. “It’s dinner time, just me and my son.”

“Isn’t this pretty good? We rented the entire restaurant.” Huo Xuan winked mischievously at Gu Qingcheng, and as far as his eyes could see, a dark shadow appeared in the dining room. He said, “Mom, I’m going to the bathroom.” Gu Qingcheng called for the waiter to accompany Huo Xuan to the bathroom.

She turned to look out the window. The night view of East Lake was magnificent, but her heart was in a mess, and she was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Suddenly, the soothing sound of the violin in the dining room disappeared, and a series of messy and sharp piano sounds rang out.

She looked over, disturbed. When she saw the person playing the piano, her pupils constricted.

“You…. Why are you here?”
