Huo Sicheng Slapped Qi Shaoze

Huo Sicheng observed the fury in Qi Shaoze's eyes through the window.

Qi Shaoze's presence indicated that Gu Qingcheng hadn't visited him.

In fact, Qi Shaoze had been persistently inquiring about Gu Qingcheng's whereabouts, even phoning her late at night to no avail.

For some inexplicable reason, the notion of Gu Qingcheng brushing off Qi Shaoze and not being with him brought him joy.

He lowered the car window and met Qi Shaoze's gaze.

"My wife went with me to Nice for a vacation. I've kept her busy these past days, so she's resting at home."

Qi Shaoze's face drained of color instantly.

That night, Gu Qingcheng, under the influence of alcohol, left him behind. She didn't respond to his calls or messages. She even pursued Huo Sicheng to Nice.

Though Huo Sicheng could have disclosed that Gu Qingcheng was resting at home, he opted to claim she was in Nice. It was clear he was trying to convey something to her.
