Qi Shaoze looked at Gu Qingcheng's confused expression. He was surprised by her sudden change of expression.
"Babe, where were you yesterday?"
Hearing the word 'babe', Gu Qingcheng raised her hand and pinched Qi Shaoze's arm.
"You don't remember, do you?"
Qi Shaoze grimaced in pain. "I've learned my lesson. It hurts, it hurts…"
Gu Qingcheng finally let go of Qi Shaoze. She glared at him and said, "I was at Mt. Dragon Cemetery yesterday."
When Qi Shaoze found out that Gu Qingcheng had gone to visit her deceased mother, he looked at her with a pair of peach-blossom eyes filled with love.
"Very sure." The doctor replied to Gu Qingcheng, "You're still very weak. Stay in the hospital for three days before you're discharged."
"Wait a minute," Gu Qingcheng said, stopping the doctor from leaving.
"What's wrong?" the doctor asked. "Are you still feeling unwell?"
"I'm not feeling unwell." Gu Qingcheng stared at the doctor and said meaningfully, "I just wanted to ask you, Mt. Dragon Cemetery is fifteen kilometers away from here. There was such a heavy rain last night that it was difficult to walk down the mountain, not to mention I was wearing high heels. If I walked fifteen kilometers to the hospital, not only would my feet not be so clean, but my feet would also be injured."
Faced with Gu Qingcheng's meticulous logic, the doctor avoided her gaze and felt a little guilty.
However, the doctor remembered that the hospital's surveillance cameras were no longer working, so he calmly said to Gu Qingcheng, "You did come to the hospital on your own. If you don't believe me, you can check the hospital's surveillance cameras."
Gu Qingcheng raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry. I'll check the surveillance cameras later."
"Okay, let the nurse know if you need anything. Have some food and rest," the doctor said gently.
After the doctor finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the door to leave.
From the doctor's point of view, when Gu Qingcheng asked how she came to the hospital, it meant that she didn't remember what happened last night.
Gu Qingcheng had almost died when she was brought here last night, so it was normal that she couldn't remember anything.
The doctors and nurses had already given their statements to each other, and no matter how much Gu Qingcheng asked, she got the same answer.
Gu Qingcheng watched the doctor leave. She hadn't eaten anything but had taken painkillers.
She had a terrible headache and couldn't take it without taking medicine.
She did not lie down to rest, nor did she plan to be hospitalized. She got out of bed directly.
However, she had gotten out of bed too quickly and her body was very weak. Her legs gave way and she could not stand steadily as she threw herself into Qi Shaoze's arms.
Qi Shaoze quickly reached out and hugged Gu Qingcheng tightly in his arms. He said tenderly, "What are you doing now?"
At this moment, the nurse who was about to leave saw the intimate scene in front of her. After she left the ward, she called Chu Yu and told him about this scene.
Gu Qingcheng naturally didn't know that Chu Yu had sent a nurse to keep an eye on her. All she knew was that she was lying weakly in Qi Shaoze's arms, her head spinning in pain.
She really wanted to rest without moving, but when she thought about how many things were waiting for her to deal with, she could only force herself to stand up from Qi Shaoze's arms.
"After checking the surveillance cameras, I'll go find Yuan Qiaolan and then go back to the villa to deal with that scumbag Huo Sicheng."
"Didn't you hear the doctor say that you need to rest?" Qi Shaoze's heart ached for Gu Qingcheng. "You can check the surveillance cameras anytime. Your body is so weak right now, so it's not suitable for you to deal with Yuan Qiaolan's matter. This is to avoid alerting the enemy. Also, if you really want to teach Huo Sicheng a lesson, why don't you give me your marriage certificate? I'll help you get on the trending searches and let the whole of Jiang City know that you're married. Then, Huo Sicheng and Ji Sisi will be despised by everyone."
Gu Qingcheng took a few steps forward and realized that she was not in a good condition to deal with Yuan Qiaolan.
She sat on a chair nearby and slowly exhaled a few times to calm herself down before looking at Qi Shaoze and saying, "Are you brainless? Huo Sicheng and Ji Sisi were trending first, so it's too late for me to be trending now. Everyone in Jiang City would definitely scold them for being scumbags, and they would also know that I was cheated on. I don't want to be laughed at."
"It was my negligence." Qi Shaoze walked up to Gu Qingcheng and comforted her gently, "Be good and listen to me for once. Take care of your body first before you deal with things, okay?"
Gu Qingcheng looked at Qi Shaoze and nodded.
Qi Shaoze was relieved.
Although Gu Qingcheng had promised Qi Shaoze that she would rest, she still didn't plan to stay in the hospital. After resting for a while, she went to check the surveillance cameras.
When she came to the hospital, lightning had just destroyed the main power supply of the hospital's individual surveillance cameras. There was an eight-hour interval between the repair of the surveillance cameras, and nothing was recorded in between.
The lightning storm last night was destructive, but she did not believe that it would be a coincidence to destroy the surveillance cameras in this hospital.
Even if she took off her high heels and walked fifteen kilometers to the hospital, she would not be able to cover such a long distance barefoot.
It was obvious that someone was hiding her visit to the hospital, which made her think of Huo Sicheng.
If Gu Tianhao or Qin Jun had found her, they would never have been so kind as to send her to the hospital.
If Li Jing found her, he would definitely be by her side when she woke up.
She thought about it and the only person she could think of was Huo Sicheng.
He had always been silently protecting her. Besides, it was unnecessary to erase her traces. There was no one else besides him.
Her heart warmed at the thought of Huo Sicheng sending her to the hospital.
Even though he was a scumbag, he still protected her at critical times like in her previous life.
Seeing Gu Qingcheng smile, Qi Shaoze asked, "The surveillance cameras didn't find anything. How can you still laugh? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Gu Qingcheng blinked at Qi Shaoze. "Take me home."
"Alright."
On the way home, Gu Qingcheng wanted to call Huo Sicheng, but her phone was out of battery.
Qi Shaoze was sitting on the sofa in Gu Qingcheng's house, drinking wine. When he saw Gu Qingcheng, he was stunned.
Gu Qingcheng's silky black hair fell over her shoulders, and she wore a moon-white dress with orchid petals. Her face was beautiful, and her cherry lips parted slightly.
She was looking at her phone and did not notice Qi Shaoze's burning gaze.
"I'm going back to the villa. Remember to wash the glass after you finish drinking." She walked towards the door without turning back. "Also, you're not allowed to stay at my house. If I come back and find out that you're staying at my house, I'll beat you to death."
Qi Shaoze had already regained his senses. He was about to respond to Gu Qingcheng when she left. In the end, he looked at the glass of vodka in his hand and downed it in one gulp.
It was spicy and sweet, just like Gu Qingcheng, who was both shrewd and charming.
She had wanted to call Huo Sicheng, but then she realized that if she were to take the initiative to talk to him, not only would she lose face, but she would also make him even more arrogant, making him even more fearless and unfaithful to her.
Therefore, she chose to drive to Huo Corporation to look for him. That way, she could pretend to continue lecturing him about his relationship with Ji Sisi.
In the end, when she arrived at Huo Corporation, for the first time, he and Chu Yu were not in the company.
Her body was weak, to begin with, and she was already exhausted from all the torment. In the end, she decided to return to Wanmei Villa.
When Gu Qingcheng returned to Wanmei Villa and saw what was happening in the living room, she felt a burning rage.
"Huo Sicheng, what are you doing?" she shouted angrily.
