Yuan Qiaolan frowned and did not answer Yuan Feng.
“Mom?” Yuan Feng thought about it and said, “We don’t know any relatives or friends of the Gu family. Which Gu family are you talking about?”
Yuan Qiaolan opened her mouth but didn’t say anything as she thought of something.
“This is the first time I’ve seen you so conflicted.” Yuan Feng was surprised. “Who is it?”
“Yes…” Yuan Qiaolan was about to say something when she saw Miss Gu appear out of the corner of her eye to change the topic. “Miss Gu, it’s time to eat.”
Gu Qingcheng smiled. “Okay.”
After Yuan Qiaolan heard her son’s words, she carefully sized up Miss Gu.
She looked at it for a long time but couldn’t tell which brand she wore.
On the other hand, the necklace on Miss Gut s neck was priceless, and she exuded a noble aura. With such an outstanding aura, she had to be, indeed, a woman from a rich family.
“Oh my, your clothes are so beautiful.” Her face was full of flattery. “What brand is it?”
Gu Qingcheng had already seen Yuan Qiaolan’s expression. She said softly, “There’s no sign.”
Yuan Qiaolan’s expression froze, and her flattering expression was instantly replaced by contempt.
The corners of Gu Qingcheng’s mouth curled up slightly, knowing that Yuan Qiaolan was condescending. “We hired a master tailor from Y to customize the clothes, so we don’t have a brand.”
She was telling the truth. All the clothes in her wardrobe were handmade by Huo Sicheng, and every style was unique.
When Yuan Qiaolan heard this, she put on a fawning expression. “Ahh, you’re so beautiful. You should indeed wear custom-made clothes. I don’t like those popular brands anyway. Let’s go eat. We have a sumptuous meal tonight.”
Unfortunately, Gu Qingcheng wasn’t going to stay for dinner. Her phone rang just in time.
She took the phone and looked at Yuan Qiaolan and Yuan Feng apologetically. “I’m very sorry. I have something urgent to attend to. I’m really sorry. I’ll bring gifts next time as an apologly.”
Yuan Qiaolan and Yuan Feng did not expect Miss Gu to leave. Seeing that she looked anxious, they did not ask her to stay.
Yuan Feng walked Gu Qingcheng to her sports car, and she drove to a restaurant.
“You must have waited for a long time.” She walked to the dining table and sat down.
“Wearing sunglasses at night?” Qi Shaoze looked around. “I booked the entire restaurant. No one will recognize you. Moreover, so what if he recognizes us? Now, everyone in Jiang City knows that we’re a couple.”
Gu Qingcheng frowned. “Are you out of your mind? We were just pretending to be a couple. After I reconcile with Huo Sicheng, please don’t mention a word of this.”
Qi Shaoze smiled and said casually, with a glass of wine, “Huo Sicheng isn’t here, so it’s fine that you let me satisfy my craving.”
Gu Qingcheng was too lazy to scold Qi Shaoze.
She was tired today, so she deliberately called Qi Shaoze in the bathroom of Yuan Feng’s house to ask him to contact her at the right time so that she could leave smoothly.
She had taken the initiative to call Qi Shaoze because she had warned him that he was not in a good mood last time. Today, she was trying to comfort him.
Of course, she was sure that after she left, Yuan Qiaolan and Yuan Feng would discuss how rich she was and what gift she would give the next time they met.
This was how money-grubbing people worked. She had specially prepared this for the mother and son.
“Something on your mind?” Qi Shaoze asked Gu Qingcheng with concern, “If there’s anything you can’t solve, just tell me.”
Gu Qingcheng shook her head. “I’m hungry. I want to eat.”
“Alright.”
During dinner, Qi Shaoze noticed that Gu Qingcheng wasn’t wearing the necklace he had given her. He asked in surprise, “Where’s the necklace?”
Gu Qingcheng was stunned. She thought for a moment and said, “At home.”
Actually, it was with Huo Sicheng. Because he took it off, she forgot to ask him to take it back.
“Home?” Qi Shaoze’s gaze was complicated. “Yunduan?”
“No.” Gu Qingcheng continued eating.” The villa.”
Qi Shaoze’s expression changed. “Huo Sicheng gave you this necklace.”
“Yes.” Gu Qingcheng answered,” I forgot about it when I went out today. I’ll return it to you another day.”
Qi Shaoze’s handsome face twisted slightly.” Keep the necklace.”
“That won’t do.” Gu Qingcheng shook her head.” I can’t accept the love token from your parents.”
Qi Shaoze was speechless, and his face was tense.
Gu Qingcheng was just going to eat and leave.
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Qi Shaoze looked at Gu Qingcheng reluctantly.
“It’s rare to see you. Stay and accompany me.”
“Do you still need me to accompany you?” Gu Qingcheng rolled her eyes at Qi Shaoze. “Let’s go to the club and mess with some women. I have something to do.”
She left without looking back.
Qi Shaoze’s mouth was agape, but he did not manage to say a word.
He waved his long arm, and the plates and wine glasses on the table shattered…
When Gu Qingcheng returned to Wanmei Villa, she entered the living room and saw Huo Sicheng.
“Hey, why aren’t you sleeping?”
Huo Sicheng’s dark eyes lit up when he saw Gu Qingcheng. “I’ll wait for you.”
“I’m back.” Gu Qingcheng smiled at Huo Si and yawned. “I’m so tired. I’m going to bed early after a shower.”
“Alright.”
Just like last night, Gu Qingcheng returned to her bedroom, but Huo Sicheng didn’t follow her.
She was lying on the bed in a slightly conservative nightgown. She was too tired to take the initiative with Huo Sicheng like last night.
Huo Sicheng appeared in a black robe.
Gu Qingcheng saw that Huo Sicheng was about to get out of bed. “Do you want me to help you up?
“Lie down.” Huo Sicheng stopped Gu Qingcheng. “I can go to bed by myself.”
Pursing her lips, Gu Qingcheng got out of bed and walked over to Huo Sicheng.
“Let me help you.” She held his arm with one hand and placed the other on his waist.
Her palm was on his firm waist, which reminded her of Qi Shaoze’s words about Huo Sicheng not really being disabled.
After all, he was a person who sat in a wheelchair every day. There was no way for him to exercise. How could he maintain such a strong figure?
Huo Sicheng smelled the fragrance of Gu Qingcheng’s body, and his eyes lit up.
He didn’t lean on her like last time. Instead, he approached her gently as if she was helping him onto the bed.
“I found that you have a great figure.” Gu Qingcheng looked at Sicheng on the bed. “How do you keep your figure?”
Huo Sicheng’s eyes flashed. “High protein diet, eat less to maintain your figure.”
Gu Qingcheng raised an eyebrow. Her gaze fell on Huo Sicheng’s slightly open collar. His firm chest muscles didn’t look like they could be maintained by eating less.
Such chest muscles could only be trained by high-intensity strength training.
Huo Sicheng saw the look in Gu Qingcheng’s eyes and narrowed his eyes. “You can take it off yourself if you want to see.”
Gu Qingcheng rolled her eyes at Huo Sicheng. She wasn’t that desperate. “Tsk, I don’t want to see anything.”
She climbed onto the other side of the bed and looked at Huo Sicheng’s legs.
“Huo Sicheng, you can’t move your legs?
Huo Sicheng narrowed his long eyelashes. “What are you trying to say?
“I want to say that your legs really don’t look like they’ve lost function.” Gu Qingcheng looked at his leg. “I don’t mean to doubt you, and I don’t mean to scold you. It’s just that you were still recovering from the car accident, and you’ve been sitting in a wheelchair all this time. Logically speaking, no matter how much you take care of your legs, they should have atrophied a little, but I don’t think so.”
She turned to Huo Sicheng and asked seriously, “Huo Sicheng, are you pretending to be disabled?”
