Chapter 25: Give Me a Kiss, Babe

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Why can’t I be at your house?” A deep and magnetic male voice sounded.

Gu Qingcheng’s heart was pounding wildly.

She was still furious at Huo Sicheng.

Now that she was choked by this question, she became even angrier.

She raised her leg and kicked him in exasperation. “What’s wrong with you?!”

She was so angry.

She had a great time torturing the scumbag Qin Jun and the scumbag Gu Mei during the day, but she was so angry at night that she thought she was going crazy.

A man in a dark green suit stood in front of Gu Qingcheng.

His tall body exuded elegance. His handsome face was well-defined, and his entire body exuded elegance. In particular, his pair of peach blossom eyes had gray pupils that were different from the black pupils of the people from Jiang City, making him look extremely handsome.

“Babe, wine is very expensive.” He quickly protected his wine with both hands and didn’t dodge Gu Qingcheng’s kick.

“Qi Shaoze. Don’t call me babe, you alcoholic.” Gu Qingcheng glared at Qi Shaoze, turned around, and walked back into the house. She said angrily, “You didn’t say anything when you came back. You didn’t even turn on the lights. You’re like a ghost. You scared me to death.”

Qi Shaoze raised an eyebrow and downed the wine in his glass. He followed behind Gu Qingcheng with a smile.

“With just a call from you, I immediately took a day and night flight back to the country. In the end, when he returned to Jiang City, not only did no one pick him up, but he couldn’t even get through to his phone. Fortunately, I have your password, or else I would have to sleep on the streets.”

He raised his hand to turn on the lights in the room and poured himself a glass of wine. “Who said I didn’t turn on the lights? Aren’t the lights in your garden on? The light from outside shone into the room, making it look warm and romantic. Don’t you think so, babe?”

Gu Qingcheng rolled her eyes and slumped down on the sofa, looking at Qi Shaoze.

Qi Shaoze was the CEO of Star Dream Entertainment. His mother was the daughter of the Qi Group in Jiang City, and his father was a wealthy Australian businessman.

He was her deskmate and boxing friend when she was studying abroad. They were often together in those years, and he was her punching bag for a few years. They were very close.

Later, when she returned to the country, they separated. He inherited Star Dream but did not return to Jiang City.

His foreign company was the center of attention. Although the two of them were separated by thousands of miles, their friendship had never broken.

If she had to list the few people she could trust in her life, the one she trusted the most, other than Huo Sicheng and Li Jing, would be Qi Shaoze. That was why he had the password to her house.

Although Qi Shaoze looked elegant and gentlemanly, he was actually a joker deep down.

Usually, she could tease him as she pleased, but today, she was in a bad mood. Whenever she thought of Huo Sicheng, she would be extremely anxious.

She wanted to go home and enjoy some peace and quiet, but Qi Shaoze’s nagging only annoyed her even more.

“As the eldest young master of the Qi family, do you have nowhere to stay?” She stood up angrily and threw the sofa pillow at Qi Shaoze. “Go back to your house.”

Qi Shaoze was hit by a pillow. Seeing Gu Qingcheng leave angrily, he put down his glass and followed after her.

Gu Qingcheng walked aimlessly, unable to calm herself down.

She recalled Huo Sicheng’s disdain when he asked her for her signature. She felt that she shouldn’t have just left.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she didn’t perform well in front of Huo Sicheng.

If she wanted to scold him, she would scold him ruthlessly. If she wanted to beat him up, she would beat him up ruthlessly.

It was not to the extent that she would become angrier the more she thought about it and lose out the more she thought about it.

“No!” She stopped by the lakeside.

Qi Shaoze was admiring the night view when Gu Qingcheng suddenly stopped in her tracks. He almost bumped into her.

“You’re so scary in the middle of the night.” He asked her, “What can’t you do?”

“I feel aggrieved.” Gu Qingcheng decided to drive back to Wanmei Villa to find Huo Sicheng, and she turned to leave.

Qi Shaoze grabbed Gu Qingcheng’s arm and asked with concern, “Who bullied you? Tell me. I’ll go get them.”

“No one bullied me.” Qi Shaoze pulled Gu Qingcheng to a stop. She looked at him and said, “I didn’t do well in the argument. I’ll just go back and quarrel.”

“Quarrel?” Qi Shaoze raised his eyebrows and laughed. “There’s someone you can’t argue with?”

“Why can’t I have someone I can’t argue with?” Gu Qingcheng pulled her hand back unhappily. She thought of Huo Sicheng’s pouting face and said, “If he treated me so badly in the past, I would have beaten him up long ago.”

Qi Shaoze could hardly see Gu Qingcheng’s aggrieved face, and he was even more curious about who had made her suffer.

“Who is it? Explain.”

Gu Qingcheng looked at Qi Shaoze’s annoying face and snapped, “I won’t answer your doubts. Hurry up and get lost. Don’t drink wine in my house.”

Qi Shaoze didn’t dodge and let Gu Qingcheng kick him.

“It’s okay if you don’t explain to me. Anyway, you’re the one who’s aggrieved, not me.

“Before you tell me to go home, please explain why I came back to Jiang City when you said you needed me.”

Gu Qingcheng, who was in a hurry to leave, stopped after taking two steps. Her anger dissipated a little because of Qi Shaoze’s words.

Since Huo Sicheng couldn’t run away, she had to settle the matter of Qi Shaoze’s return first.

“I’ve reached the age where I should inherit my grandfather’s inheritance.” She looked straight at Qi Shaoze. “I need you to follow me when I inherit the inheritance. After I’ve gone through all the inheritance documents, help me go through them again.”

Qi Shaoze was stunned. “You should leave this to a lawyer. ” The inheritance your grandfather left you will naturally have a lawyer he trusts to contact you. Generally, there won’t be any problems.”

Gu Qingcheng said with a deeper meaning, “I trust my grandfather’s lawyer, but I don’t trust Gu Tianhao.”

In her previous life, she did not fall out with Gu Tianhao, so she could get the inheritance smoothly.

After her rebirth, many things were disrupted.

Now that she and Gu Tianhao had broken up, it was easy for her to have problems getting the inheritance. She would never allow such a thing to happen.

Qi Shaoze could tell that Gu Qingcheng was serious. He replied without hesitation, “No problem. I’ll take care of everything.”

Hearing Qi Shaoze’s response, Gu Qingcheng felt warm inside. She said, “Help me keep an eye on Chu He. I want to know what she does and who she sees every day.”

She had her own issues to deal with, so she couldn’t keep an eye on Chu He every day.

Besides, she wouldn’t take the risk of telling anyone about Chu He if she didn’t trust him.

Qi Shaoze had grown up overseas and was a stranger to all the wealthy families in Jiang City.

Therefore, no matter whether he personally watched her or sent people to watch Chu He, no one paid attention to him.

Huo Sicheng had fallen out with the Qin and Gu families because of her. She couldn’t bring him any more trouble.

Since the Qin and Gu families had formed an alliance, which meant she also needed her own allies to protect her.

As Gu Qingcheng’s best friend, Qi Shaoze would agree to anything she asked.

“No problem. If there’s anything else, just tell me.”

“Not for the time being. You have to do these two things for me.” Gu Qingcheng said, about to leave.

Qi Shaoze playfully gestured to Gu Qingcheng to obey him. “Yes, babe. I’ll do it properly.”

“I’m warning you. You’re not allowed to call me babe in the future.” Gu Qingcheng frowned and warned Qi Shaoze fiercely, “I’m already married. If you don’t keep your mouth shut and call me babe, it’ll cause a misunderstanding.”

“Married?” Qi Shaoze exclaimed, “When did you get married to Qin Jun? Why didn’t you tell me that you were getting married? Are you looking down on me for not being able to afford the red envelope?”

“You…” Gu Qingcheng exploded at the mention of Qin Jun. She raised her hand to punch Qi Shaoze. “Don’t you dare mention that trash called Qin Jun!”

“You can hit me anywhere, but not my face.” Qi Shaoze looked at Gu Qingcheng’s actions and instinctively dodged, not forgetting to tease her. “I rely on my face for a living. If you break my face, I won’t be able to get any pretty girls in the future.”

Gu Qingcheng watched as Qi Shaoze dodged, but she couldn’t hold back and fell to the ground in front of her.

Qi Shaoze’s face turned pale. If he let her fall, he would be in trouble.

He quickly wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his arms to prevent her from falling.

At that moment, the Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up. Huo Sicheng saw everything clearly under the lights by the lake.

Huo Sicheng’s eyes were filled with anger as a cold aura swept through the entire car.

That damned Gu Qingcheng!

During the day, she hugged Qin Jun, and at night, she hugged some other men.

He worried about her safety and rushed over after finding her whereabouts. She wanted him to see her being carried.

He had been enduring this day.

At this moment, he had reached his limit and no longer needed to endure.

“Gu Qingcheng, I’d like to see how you’ll explain this to me when I show up in front of you.” He opened the car door and walked toward Gu Qingcheng with a murderous look.
