Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The helicopter took off from Wanmei Villa, causing a stir.

Gu Qingcheng’s car window was open, and she had only just driven out of Wanmei Villa and stopped the car.

When the sound of the helicopter entered her ears through the window, it interrupted her inner conflict.

She looked up and saw Huo Sicheng’s private helicopter leaving Wanmei Villa.

At this moment, she knew Huo Sicheng was heading to his private airport, and once he reached the airport, he would leave Jiangcheng. It would be too late for her to follow him.

Moreover, she didn’t know which country Huo Sicheng was going to abroad.

However, she thought it would be easy to find out which country Huo Sicheng was going to, just by contacting Lu Chi and paying him.

Once she checked Huo Sicheng’s whereabouts, she fell back into the dilemma of whether to follow him or not.

She didn’t want to be an ostrich, burying her head in the sand pretending nothing had happened.

But she also didn’t want her life to be filled with suspicion and doubt.

It was very painful.

She was caught in a vicious cycle.

Suddenly, her phone rang, interrupting her pain.

She saw it was a call from her master, Li Jing, and she didn’t want to answer.

But her hand still picked up the call.

On the other end, Li Jing’s soft voice asked Gu Qingcheng, “Qingcheng, can you still not come to the Peach Lotus Cup today?”

Gu Qingcheng sadly said, “Master, I’m not in a good mood, you see…”

“Being in a bad mood is exactly why you should come to the Peach Lotus Cup,”

Li Jing interjected upon hearing this. “Gu Mei and Qin Jun are trending hotly, the whole of Jiangcheng is discussing them. As the main person involved, your participation in the Peach Lotus Cup can give the media many hot topics, and you can become very popular. Most importantly, being busy with work when you’re feeling down can make you forget everything.”

Gu Qingcheng: “Master…”

“You’re already married to President Huo, and I guess Gu Mei and Qin Jun being trending is your doing, so you have no reason to be sad or upset,” Li Jing persuaded again. “And you’re right, Gu Mei withdrew from the Peach Lotus Cup before the officials expelled her. Now that your enemies are in pain, you should make a shining appearance. That’s how you can make them suffer more.” Li Jing’s words resonated with Gu Qingcheng.

Of course, she knew participating in the Peach Lotus Cup now was the perfect opportunity to step on Gu Mei and Qin Jun’s wounds, making this couple suffer even more.

It’s just that thinking of Huo Sicheng made her heart chaotic.

“Master, I’ll call you back in a bit to confirm whether I’ll go or not.”

Li Jing: “Okay, call me back as soon as possible. The Peach Lotus Cup live broadcast starts at two in the afternoon.

After hanging up, Gu Qingcheng looked at her phone’s screen, her gaze locked on the word “husband.”

Her husband, Huo Sicheng.

But did Huo Sicheng regard her as his wife?

In the end, she couldn’t resist calling Huo Sicheng, intending to ask if he was going to see Miss Li.

The phone was not picked up immediately, and after several rings, she hung up.

“Huo Sicheng, are you going to see your Miss Li, so you don’t even want to answer my call?”

She spoke the words with a heart-wrenching sob.

It was this call that gave her a definite decision between following and not following.

She started the car and left the main road.

When Li Jing saw Gu Qingcheng, she felt extremely heartbroken.

Gu Qingcheng’s arrival undoubtedly caused a sensation at the Peach Lotus Cup, and the media scrambled to interview her.

In their eyes, Gu Qingcheng was smiling, a smile that didn’t seem forced yet carried sadness.

The media thought Gu Qingcheng was heartbroken because she found out her sister Gu Mei and her boyfriend Qin Jun were together.

Only she knew Gu Qingcheng was genuinely encountering something heartbreaking.

And the thing causing Gu Qingcheng’s heartbreak, she could only think of one person—Huo Sicheng.

She had watched Gu Qingcheng grow up, thinking she was just in a bad mood, never expecting her to be this pained.

“Make way, please.” She immediately stepped forward to politely push through the media that were swarming around Gu Qingcheng. “Principal Gu needs to prepare for the Peach Lotus Cup, please make way.”

Li Jing protected Gu Qingcheng, taking her to a private room.

Gu Qingcheng had forced a smile for a long time and finally reached a private room with only her and Li Jing. Her strained emotions finally relaxed.

Li Jing asked lovingly and gently, “Qingcheng, what happened to you? If you really feel uncomfortable, you don’t have to participate in the Cup. I can take you home to rest now.”

Gu Qingcheng at this moment seemed like a fragile paper figure, seemingly bright and flawless but easily broken upon touch.

She rarely showed such vulnerability, but Li Jing’s words ultimately made her unable to control her emotions.

Li Jing didn’t move, looking at Gu Qingcheng leaning on her shoulder with pity. She spoke softly to comfort Gu Qingcheng, “Good child, everything will pass.”

Gu Qingcheng leaned on Li Jing’s shoulder until someone knocked on the door, then she hurriedly straightened up.

“Master…”

“No need to say more, master understands,” Li Jing looked at Gu Qingcheng lovingly. “I’ll take you home now.”

The word “home” pained Gu Qingcheng’s heart, and she quickly shook her head, “I won’t go back. I’ve already come, and the media outside are probably still waiting. The Peach Lotus Cup needs my presence, I’ll stay.”

Li Jing tried to persuade Gu Qingcheng, “Qingcheng, I think you should go back, I…”

“Master, you have to trust me,” Gu Qingcheng said affirmatively. “I’ve competed with a sprained ankle before. Do you think I would embarrass myself in front of the media? I won’t let Royal Dance lose face, and neither will I lose face for myself.”

Li Jing knew Gu Qingcheng’s character was very resilient. Once she said something, she would do it and not take it back.

“Okay.”

Just then, Gu Qingcheng’s phone rang. She took it out and saw it was a call from Huo Sicheng.

Her emotions, which had just stabilized, crumbled again.

Li Jing saw the word “husband” on Gu Qingcheng’s phone screen and said, “Answer it.”

Gu Qingcheng unhesitatingly hung up the phone and said to Li Jing, “No need to answer, work is more important. Let the makeup artist come in to do my makeup.”

Li Jing looked deeply at Gu Qingcheng and replied, “Okay.”

At the Peach Lotus Cup venue, Gu Qingcheng’s arrival caused a huge stir.

Many people were whispering and watching every move of Gu Qingcheng.

Dressed in Hanfu, Gu Qingcheng was stunningly beautiful, dignified, and elegant, ethereal like a fairy.

The Peach Lotus Cup was a live broadcast competition, and this was the first time its viewership skyrocketed, especially when the camera focused on Gu Qingcheng’s face.

At this moment, Movie King Jiang was with Qi Shaoze. He looked at Qi Shaoze, who had recently become more irritable, often lashing out at his secretary.

He gave a look, and the scolded secretary hurriedly left the president’s office.

“Young Master Qi, aren’t we the sponsors of the Peach Lotus Cup? Aren’t you going to watch it?”

Today, Qi Shaoze was wearing a blue suit, his tall and graceful figure radiating anger, his peach blossom eyes filled with towering rage.

“What Peach Lotus Cup? What’s there to see?”

“Oh…” Movie King Jiang said slowly in a private chat, “If Young Master Qi isn’t watching, then I will. It’s a good chance to admire Miss Gu’s great beauty.” Qi Shaoze’s body jolted, his anger disappearing in an instant.

“What did you say? Gu Qingcheng is participating in the Peach Lotus Cup?”

Seeing Qi Shaoze’s anxious look, Movie King Jiang smiled slightly, “Whether Miss Gu participates in the Peach Lotus Cup doesn’t matter, especially since you just said there’s nothing to see there.”

Qi Shaoze ignored Movie King Jiang, immediately opening his computer and clicking on the live broadcast, just in time to see the camera focused on Gu Qingcheng’s face, her stunning beauty capturing his attention.

“Young Master Qi, what’s the point of watching a live broadcast? Of course, you should go to the venue to meet Miss Gu up close,” Movie King Jiang hinted, “There are many media present today, and Miss Gu has just been betrayed by her sister and boyfriend.. It’s a vulnerable time for her, shouldn’t you go to the venue to show love and comfort her?”
