Chapter 285 - 285: Huo Sicheng Slapping Qj Shaoze in the Face

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As Qi Shaoze spoke, a cold fury swept over Huo Sicheng, sharp as a knife, seemingly ready to tear Qi Shaoze apart.

Gu Qingcheng, looking at the necklace in the gift box, felt the intense and

domineering aura emanating from Huo Sicheng.

She didn’t need to look at him to feel his piercing gaze fixed on her.

Seizing the opportunity, Qi Shaoze softly asked Gu Qingcheng, “Shall I put it on for you?”

It was a perfect chance to spite Huo Sicheng, and he couldn’t let it slip away.

When he put the necklace on Gu Qingcheng, he could already imagine Huo Sicheng seething with rage yet forced to feign calmness.

But then, Gu Qingcheng gently took off the necklace she was wearing from around her neck.

She turned to Qi Shaoze, “Thank you for the necklace, but I cannot accept your gift. The one I’m wearing is from my hubby, and it’s designed not to be taken off. I can’t wear any necklace other than the one my hubby gave me. Perhaps you could give yours to someone else.”

At that moment, both Qi Shaoze and Huo Sicheng were stunned.

Qi Shaoze was shocked because Gu Qingcheng had given him a perfect opportunity to openly confront him. He was thrilled, thinking she harbored feelings for him, only for her to suddenly refuse his gift and openly call Huo Sicheng her hubby!

Just her calling Huo Sicheng ‘hubby’ once was enough, but she called him ‘hubby’ twice. What really sparked his jealousy was her showing off the necklace around her neck, telling him that once put on, it can never be taken off, symbolizing Huo Sicheng’s adoration for her and the unbreakable bond between them as husband and wife.

He was furious, but he couldn’t show it in front of Huo Sicheng. He would never allow Huo Sicheng to see his joke!

But the more Qi Shaoze tried to suppress his jealousy and anger, the more apparent the cracks in his perfect composure became.

Huo Sicheng was initially stunned because he thought Gu Qingcheng was entertaining his rival, Qi Shaoze, and even considered accepting his gift.

What he found most unacceptable was that she was planning to accept the gift from Qi Shaoze, but then she ended up refusing it.

After his initial astonishment, he was filled with immense joy. Not only did she refuse the necklace gift in front of Qi Shaoze, but she also called him ‘hubby.’ This was the first time she had called him that since their conflict began, bringing him indescribable joy and happiness.

Even her calling him ‘hubby’ in front of Qi Shaoze seemed like a confirmation of her identity as Mrs. Huo to Qi Shaoze.

Did she no longer like Qi Shaoze?

Or was she using this opportunity to sever ties with Qi Shaoze completely?

Gu Qingcheng observed the reactions of both men with calm, discerning eyes.

She gently closed the gift box and slowly stood up.

“It’s time for me to return to the judges’ panel,” she said, walking over to Huo Sicheng. She took his hand from under the table, playfully lifting his sleeve to check his watch. “When I gave you this watch, I adjusted the second hand. It seems a bit off now. You don’t have to wait for me after the competition, hubby; go fix the second hand, and I’ll head home after I’m done here.”

Huo Sicheng felt the warmth of her touch, her body heat sending a shiver of comfort and joy through him.

Her calling him “hubby” filled him with contentment and happiness.

Her words, telling him not to wait for her, made him realize she knew he was waiting to go home with her.

She promised their son, Huo Xuan, that she would return to the villa, but he worried that she might refuse to go back to the villa again because of their misunderstanding. So, he waited for her, planning to come to her as soon as the competition ended to take her home.

His restless heart found solace in her actions.

“Alright, I’ll adjust the watch later,” he said, his voice gentle as water, his eyes filled with deep affection and adoration.

“Okay,” Gu Qingcheng replied and turned to leave. She glanced at Qi Shaoze, “Qi Shaoze, will you stay here with my husband to watch the competition, or will you go downstairs?”

But without waiting for his response, she left the room.

Now, only Qi Shaoze and Huo Sicheng remained.

Qi Shaoze saw that Huo Sicheng’s earlier anger had vanished, replaced by the contentment of a man basking in happiness.

Clutching his teeth and balling his fists, Qi Shaoze, despite his anger, didn’t let it show. He picked up the gift box from the table, ready to leave the room dejectedly.

He lost!

He lost to Huo Sicheng!

And it was none other than Gu Qingcheng who had facilitated this defeat.

He had thought Gu Qingcheng had feelings for him, or at least saw him as a friend. If she had accepted his gift, he could have openly confronted Huo Sicheng.

Instead, not only did he fail to confront Huo Sicheng, but Gu Qingcheng also forcefully fed him the sweet display of their marital affection.

An affection he’d rather die than accept!

How could Gu Qingcheng be so heartless towards him?

First, she flaunted the unique necklace Huo Sicheng gave her, then the gift she gave to Huo Sicheng.

In all the years he’d known her, she had never given him a gift.

Jealousy!

He was insanely jealous of Huo Sicheng!

In the end, as he reached the door, Qi Shaoze couldn’t hold back. He turned to look at the extraordinarily handsome Huo Sicheng.

“Don’t be smug!” he spat venomously.

Huo Sicheng, never one to waste time on Qi Shaoze, responded indifferently, “Qi Shaoze, you lost.”

That single word, “lost,” broke through Qi Shaoze’s defenses.

“You…”

He glared at Huo Sicheng, but seeing Huo Sicheng’s indifferent demeanor, as if looking down on him, made Qi Shaoze feel his pride being trampled underfoot.

Hatred.

He hated Huo Sicheng for taking Gu Qingcheng away from him.

“Gu Qingcheng is mine!” he declared, leaving the room furiously.

Huo Sicheng was unperturbed, merely looking down at the watch Gu Qingcheng had given him.

The watch’s second hand wasn’t really off; it was her way of telling him that she chose him over Qi Shaoze without hesitation.

“Qingcheng…” he murmured her name, his lips curving into a smile, his heart racing with love for her.

How wonderful, she had chosen him.

Even amidst their disagreements and her anger over Miss Li’s appearance, she had firmly chosen him over Qi Shaoze.

At that moment, Qi Shaoze, thinking of the joy Huo Sicheng had shown when Gu Qingcheng chose him, was consumed with rage.

With a “bang,” he punched the wall fiercely, his fist bleeding from the impact.

“Principal Gu, is there anything else I should be aware of? If not, I need to go on stage,” he heard someone say.

Qi Shaoze, engulfed in rage, quickly walked over.

He saw a Royal Dance student leaving, and Gu Qingcheng was about to head to the judges’ panel.

“Why?” he rushed up, grabbing Gu Qingcheng’s wrist.. “Why are you doing this to me?”
