Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation| Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In an instant, Huo Sicheng’s bones and blood froze, and endless anger filled his body.

Qi Shaoze!

My baby!

Envy.

He was very jealous!

Qi Shaoze addressed him so intimately.

Not long after Gu Qingcheng left his side, she even answered Qi Shaoze’s call.

She…

“Qi Shaoze!” His phoenix eyes were bloodshot as he shouted angrily, “You’re courting death!”

“Die? You can kill me.” Qi Shaoze’s laughter was filled with undisguised provocation. “But I have to remind you, President Huo. If I die, my baby will be angry, and it’s the kind of anger that you can’t appease even if you apologize.”

Huo Sicheng’s hand that was holding the phone turned white. He was furious and heartbroken.

At this moment, in the private room of the cafe, Qi Shaoze’s eyes were filled with mockery. His slender fingers quickly deleted Huo Sicheng’s call history and placed the phone back on the table opposite him.

Gu Qingcheng walked in and saw Qi Shaoze drinking by the window.

“Only a weirdo like you would do such a thing to come to a coffee shop to drink.”

“He’s here.” Qi Shaoze smiled like a hooligan as he looked at Gu Qingcheng.

“What did you forget in the car? Why did you come back here?”

Gu Qingcheng sat on the sofa and picked up her phone. She didn’t see any calls from Huo Sicheng. She also saw that Huo Sicheng hadn’t replied to any of her WeChat messages. She was extremely disappointed.

“Take the card.” She pushed a card in front of Qi Shaoze. “Use this money to buy a trending search.’

“My dear, you even gave me money to buy a trending topic. It’s too distant for us to be so clear about each other.” Qi Shaoze glanced at the card and said helplessly. “I don’t want money. What trending searches do you want to buy?

I’ll contact the public relations department now.”

“I think you’d better take the money.” Gu Qingcheng said, “I’ve told you before, that even brothers have to settle scores. It’s the same between us.”

Qi Shaoze took a sip of his wine and stared at Gu Qingcheng for a while. Then he took the card with a helpless expression. “Okay, I’ll take it.” If I don’t accept this card, you’ll definitely flip the table and leave with your temper.”

As he spoke, he chuckled. “Great aunt, it’s so hard to find you. I didn’t expect to meet you today.” I missed you so much. How have you been recently? Have you thought about me? I miss you.”

Gu Qingcheng picked up her coffee and took a sip. “I don’t miss you. Every day, my mind is filled with my husband, Huo Sicheng.”

The smile on Qi Shaoze’s face froze and his grip on the wine glass tightened slightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.

“I’m so pitiful.” He looked at Gu Qingcheng pitifully. “You’re ignoring me now that you have a husband. It seems that you’ve been taught a lesson by Huo

Sicheng. He doesn’t want you to talk to me, but you’re really ignoring me. Sigh, I’m so sad. Why would he be jealous? If we had anything, we would have had it long ago. After all, we’ve known each other for more time than Huo Sicheng.” Gu Qingcheng smiled. “I can’t help it. My husband is very strict with me now.”

Qi Shaoze’s pitiful expression froze on his face, as if he had never expected Gu Qingcheng, who was so proud of herself, to say such things.

In the past, Gu Qingcheng would have been furious and scolded Huo Sicheng when she heard what he said. Now, she had been estranged from him ever since the Peach Lotus Cup.

Huo Sicheng!

Gu Qingcheng noticed the subtle changes in Qi Shaoze’s expression, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly as she said nonchalantly. “Qi Shaoze, since you accepted my money and agreed to help me buy trending searches, then help me buy a trending search of the candlelight dinner between the CEO of Star Dream Entertainment, Qi Shaoze, and Ji Sisi.”

“What?” Qi Shaoze looked at Gu Qingcheng in shock. “You…” What did you say?”

“Are you deaf?” Gu Qingcheng looked at Qi Shaoze, amused. “What? You just promised me to buy the trending searches, and now you’re going back on your word?”

“No, do you want me and Ji Sisi to be trending or do you want us to have a candlelight dinner?” Qi Shaoze asked Gu Qingcheng in shock. “I don’t even know Ji Sisi. Why do you want us to be trending? Besides, we’ve been trending. Once Ji Sisi and I are trending, the entire internet will think that we’re not a couple. I…”

“Are we a couple?” Gu Qingcheng asked Qi Shaoze.

Qi Shaoze’s voice came to an abrupt halt. His expression was extremely ugly as he spat out two words with great difficulty. “No.”

“Since we’re not a couple, why do you care about what the netizens think?” Gu Qingcheng’s expression was gentle and serious as she said. “You’re my good brother. That’s the most you’ve ever said to me. As brothers, friendship is important. I need you to help me now, won’t you help me?”

Qi Shaoze was rendered speechless by Gu Qingcheng’s words.

He stared at Gu Qingcheng. Her eyes were so clear that he could see them through. Her face was so beautiful that he couldn’t tell if she was doing this on purpose. It was more like she was sincerely asking him to help her.

After a long time, he calmed himself down and asked Gu Qingcheng. “You’re my brother. Of course I’ll help you. I’m just curious why you made me and Ji Sisi trending.”

“Good brother, I knew you would help me.” Gu Qingcheng smiled happily. “You don’t have to worry about why I put you and Ji Sisi on the hot search list. Since you’ve agreed to it, you’ll buy it.”

“Don’t,” said Qi Shaoze, “help me clear my doubts.”

“Next time.” Gu Qingcheng picked up her phone and bag, stood up, and prepared to leave. “I have something to do, so I’ll get going first. The trending searches are probably at night. People get off work at night, so there will be a lot of people looking at the trending searches.”

“Qingcheng.” Qi Shaoze panicked and grabbed Gu Qingcheng’s arm. “Don’t go,” he said in a reluctant tone.”

Gu Qingcheng glanced at Qi Shaoze’s hand that was holding her arm. She retracted her arm discreetly and looked at him.

“Why would I stay if I don’t leave? Do you want to spar with me?” She asked Qi Shaoze, but before he could say anything, she continued. “I don’t have time to practice boxing recently, and look at the bruises on your face that haven’t disappeared yet.”

“Oh, right.” She took a step and stopped to ask Qi Shaoze. “What are you doing at Huo Corporation today?”

Qi Shaoze hesitated at Gu Qingcheng’s question. He didn’t expect Gu Qingcheng to go to Huo Corporation today.

Gu Qingcheng was surprised. “Huo Corporation bought Star Dream

Entertainment?”

“It’s not an acquisition of Star Dream. It’s an investment in a project of Star

Dream, and this project is very important to Star Dream.” He told Gu Qingcheng. “I found out too late,” Qi Shaoze told Gu Qingcheng. “By the time I found out, Huo Corporation had already invested in this project and became the largest shareholder. It was equivalent to acquiring the project and forcefully binding the entire Star Dream Entertainment.”

Gu Qingcheng asked Qi Shaoze, “What does Huo Corporation becoming a shareholder of the Star Dream project have to do with you coming to Huo Corporation?”
