Gu Qingcheng maintained a calm exterior, but inside she felt somewhat displeased.

She knew that they would meet today and understood that she couldn’t avoid it; she was prepared to face him calmly.

However, she was in a hurry to do her makeup and didn’t want to waste time here.

“I’m in a bit of a rush, let’s talk later,” she said, ready to leave.

“Qingcheng, wait a moment.” Qi Shaoze hurriedly stopped Gu Qingcheng. His handsome face was pale, seemingly still recovering from illness. He spoke gently, “Today is the finals of the Taohe Cup, and I need to present the award when the champion is announced.”

Gu Qingcheng, stopped by Qi Shaoze, didn’t get angry but casually replied, “I see.”

Seeing that Gu Qingcheng wasn’t upset, Qi Shaoze immediately spoke again, “I’ve checked; you are the final dance performance, there’s still time. I want to take a few minutes of your time.”

Gu Qingcheng replied, “I don’t have time.”

“Just a few minutes,” Qi Shaoze looked at her hopefully. “I’ve just recovered from a serious illness. It’s rare for us to meet, a few minutes won’t delay you too much.”

At this moment, teachers from other schools were walking by. Gu Qingcheng didn’t want outsiders to gossip about her and Qi Shaoze, so she quickly said, “Let’s go to my makeup room.”

Qi Shaoze noticed the change in Gu Qingcheng’s expression. He felt fortunate for the passersby, otherwise, Gu Qingcheng wouldn’t have agreed to see him.

“Okay,” he said with a happy smile. “Let’s go inside.”

Gu Qingcheng turned and quickly left.

Qi Shaoze followed behind her.

At this moment, Huo Sicheng, knowing that Gu Qingcheng had come to the Taohe Cup, hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to look for her.

But when he saw Gu Qingcheng, he saw her talking face to face with Qi Shaoze. Especially the tender expression Qi Shaoze showed towards Gu Qingcheng made him feel a bitter ache in his heart.

He watched as Gu Qingcheng didn’t reject Qi Shaoze, and even saw Qi Shaoze follow her into her private makeup room.

Sour.

Very sour.

He felt like he was soaking in a vat of vinegar.

This woman, who coquettishly cuddled in his arms every day, had sweetly kissed him that morning. Just a few hours after not seeing her, she was secretly meeting with her lover Qi Shaoze behind his back.

He was unhappy. Why couldn’t she be more devoted to him?

Since Qi Shaoze was with Gu Qingcheng, he didn’t want to go find her, to avoid making her think he was there to catch them and spare her the embarrassment.

He returned to his private viewing area with a heart full of jealousy.

Meanwhile, in the room, Qi Shaoze looked at Gu Qingcheng. Her face was rosy, her whole body radiating vibrancy, showing him how happy she was.

A flash of jealousy crossed his eyes, but he spoke gently, “Have you been well recently?”

Gu Qingcheng sat on the sofa and poured Qi Shaoze a glass of water, “I’ve been very well.”

Qi Shaoze’s face stiffened slightly, and he sat down on the sofa opposite Gu Qingcheng with a smile.

“As long as you’re happy. It seems Huo Sicheng really adores you.”

Gu Qingcheng took a sip of water, and thinking of Huo Sicheng, a joyous smile appeared on her face.

“Yes, he loves me a lot and spoils me.”

Qi Shaoze’s perfect expression shattered completely at Gu Qingcheng’s words.

His hand gripping the water glass tightened, his knuckles turning white as if he might crush the glass at any moment.

“Good, good,” he said softly with a smile, “It’s rare for you two sworn enemies to truly love each other. I’m happy for you.’

Gu Qingcheng saw Qi Shaoze smiling brightly, but she caught a glimpse of his unwillingness in his smile.

“Qi Shaoze, are you sure you’ve recovered?” she changed the subject, “Last time I saw you, you were vomiting blood and passed out.”

Qi Shaoze replied, “I’m sure I’ve recovered. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be here now.”

“What illness did you have?” Gu Qingcheng asked, “Since you’ve recovered, you must know what you had. Otherwise, the doctors wouldn’t have been able to treat you.”

Qi Shaoze’s smile became slightly strained, “The doctors told me what I had, but I’ve been so busy recently, I’ve forgotten.”

Gu Qingcheng knew Qi Shaoze was lying.

No one forgets their illness, especially one as life-threatening as Qi Shaoze’s. He would never forget what he had.

She had been scared when she saw Qi Shaoze vomiting blood, afraid he would die in front of her. Then, she would have to face the questioning of Qi Shaoze’s parents and the old master of the Qi family, with no way to excuse herself or respond.

Clearly, she had been played by Qi Shaoze. His vomiting blood in the hospital last time was pre-arranged for her to see, to make her stay with him for a night.

She had suspected there was something odd about Qi Shaoze’s vomiting blood, but never imagined he would be so ruthless to himself just to make her stay in the hospital.

But thinking about how she stayed in the hospital to take care of Qi Shaoze that night, leaving her son waiting until midnight, she felt very sorry for her son.

Her son’s love for her was pure, but Qi Shaoze’s actions towards her involved cunning and deceit.

Seeing Gu Qingcheng not speaking and unable to read her emotions, Qi Shaoze anxiously said, “Qingcheng, everything I said is true.”

Gu Qingcheng remained calm on the surface, but felt somewhat displeased inside.

She knew they would meet today and understood that she couldn’t avoid it; she was prepared to face him calmly.

However, she was in a hurry to do her makeup and didn’t want to waste time here.

“I’m in a bit of a rush, let’s talk later,” she said, ready to leave.

“Qingcheng, wait a moment.” Qi Shaoze hurriedly stopped Gu Qingcheng, his handsome face pale, seemingly still recovering from illness. He spoke gently, “Today is the finals of the Taohe Cup, and I need to present the award when the champion is announced.”

Gu Qingcheng, stopped by Qi Shaoze, didn’t get angry but casually replied, “I see.”

Seeing that Gu Qingcheng wasn’t upset, Qi Shaoze immediately spoke again, “I’ve checked; you are the final dance performance, there’s still time. I want to take a few minutes of your time.”

Gu Qingcheng replied, “I don’t have time.”

“Just a few minutes,” Qi Shaoze looked at Gu Qingcheng with hope. “I’ve just recovered from a serious illness, and it’s rare for us to meet. A few minutes won’t delay you too much.”

At that moment, other school teachers were passing by. Gu Qingcheng didn’t want outsiders to gossip about her and Qi Shaoze, so she quickly responded, “Let’s go to my makeup room.”

Qi Shaoze noticed the change in Gu Qingcheng’s expression and felt grateful for the passersby, otherwise, Gu Qingcheng might not have agreed to see him.

“Okay,” he said with a happy smile, “Let’s go in first.”

Gu Qingcheng turned and hurried away.

Qi Shaoze followed behind her.

At this moment, Huo Sicheng, knowing that Gu Qingcheng had come to the Peach Lotus Cup, hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to look for her.

But what he saw was Gu Qingcheng and Qi Shaoze talking face-to-face. Qi

Shaoze’s tender gaze towards Gu Qingcheng made Huo Sicheng’s heart sour.

He saw that Gu Qingcheng didn’t reject Qi Shaoze, and even Qi Shaoze had followed her into her private makeup room.

Jealous.

Seething envy.

He felt like he was steeped in jealousy.

This woman, who cooed in his arms every day and sweetly kissed him that morning, had secretly met with her lover Qi Shaoze just a few hours after he hadn’t seen her.

He was unhappy.. Why couldn’t she be more devoted to him?
