Chapter 413 : Chapter 412
Two days later, Lu Chi arrived at the safe house where Gu Qingcheng was staying.
This safe house was located deep in the mountains, without internet, surrounded by towering trees, such that even a helicopter couldn’t spot the house from above.
When he entered the password and came in, Gu Qingcheng had just finished cooking and was about to eat.
“I arrived just in time,” he said without any hesitation, sitting down at the dining table and starting to eat with chopsticks. “Hmm, your cooking skills are quite good. This dish is delicious.”
Gu Qingcheng, holding her freshly served rice, was just about to sit down to eat when Lu Chi’s action made her roll her eyes and place the rice in front of him.
She teased him, “Did a starving ghost reincarnate as you? The way you gobble down food is so ugly.”
Lu Chi picked up some vegetables and placed them in his bowl of rice, taking a mouthful. “I’ve been too busy these days, haven’t really had a proper meal.”
Gu Qingcheng huffed in annoyance and went to the kitchen to get some food.
Seeing Gu Qingcheng leave, Lu Chi stopped wolfing down his food, elegantly wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin from the table, no longer resembling a starving ghost.
Gu Qingcheng served herself a bowl of rice and sat at the dining table to eat.
Lu Chi’s attractive eyes were fixed on Gu Qingcheng.
“Have you had enough of looking?” Gu Qingcheng asked Lu Chi after finishing her meal.
“I haven’t had my fill,” Lu Chi stated confidently, yet seemingly not wanting to make Gu Qingcheng feel awkward. He continued, “I’ve watched you for so long, and no matter how I look, I feel you and Huo Sicheng are well matched. I just don’t understand why you two always argue.”
Upon hearing the name Huo Sicheng, Gu Qingcheng couldn’t hold back her emotions.
She wanted to beat up Lu Chi but restrained herself in the end.
“You know nothing,” she told Lu Chi somberly. “There are some things I cannot tell you.”
“I might not know about other matters, but I do know that Huo Sicheng has returned to Jiang City,” Lu Chi finally found the right moment to tell Gu Qingcheng. “He and Huo Xuan are at your house, clearly waiting for you to return. ”
After saying this, he watched as Gu Qingcheng’s complexion drastically changed, then added, “Oh, I forgot to mention, Yunduan, he’s waiting for you at your house. Are you really not going to see Huo Sicheng?”
Gu Qingcheng’s face turned pale as she stared at Lu Chi in astonishment.
She couldn’t believe that despite her forbidding Lu Chi from investigating Huo Sicheng, he still did and even informed her about him.
Was Huo Sicheng waiting for her in Yunduan with his son?
He thought she would return to Yunduan after their conflict, so he was waiting for her there.
Just the thought of returning to Yunduan meant seeing him again, and she could only feel endless pain remembering his trip to France to meet Miss Li.
Lu Chi observed the change in Gu Qingcheng’s expression.
“It seems the conflict between you and Huo Sicheng is not simple,” he said softly to Gu Qingcheng. “But, no matter what, I think it’s better to meet and resolve the issue.”
Gu Qingcheng turned her head away from Lu Chi, her eyes filled with sorrow.
“I don’t want to see Huo Sicheng.”
Lu Chi reminded Gu Qingcheng, “You not wanting to see Huo Sicheng doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to see you. Today is the fourth day. I believe Huo Sicheng, who has been waiting for you for days, will definitely become impatient and start to investigate your whereabouts. Jiang City is only so big; it’s very easy for him to find you. You can’t hide.”
Gu Qingcheng knew everything Lu Chi said was true.
If Huo Sicheng really wanted to find her, she couldn’t hide from him.
However, Lu Chi’s news also made her realize that Huo Sicheng hadn’t investigated her whereabouts; otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed in Yunduan for so many days just waiting for her to return.
Did he not think about the pain he caused her before going to Yunduan to wait for her, by making Miss Li pregnant?
“I’ve told you the news,” Lu Chi implied, “What to do next is up to you.”
When Gu Qingcheng came back to her senses, Lu Chi was no longer in the room.
She knew Lu Chi had left, and her thoughts were in turmoil.
In the end, she curled up on the living room sofa, closed her eyes, not wanting to think about Huo Sicheng, only wishing to enjoy her peaceful life before Huo Sicheng found her.
Meanwhile, everything was as Lu Chi had predicted. Huo Sicheng had been waiting for Gu Qingcheng in Yunduan for a week.
During that week, he didn’t handle any company affairs. His well-defined handsome face was pale and weak, and his long, narrow phoenix eyes were dim.
He had waited for Gu Qingcheng for a week, and she had vanished, disappeared from his world.
It hurt.
His heart ached so much that his entire body trembled.
Eventually, he couldn’t wait any longer.
The next moment, he took out his phone. His slender fingers hesitated for a moment over the GPS before he pressed the request.
Gu Qingcheng’s phone was a couple’s phone he had given her, equipped with a GPS tracker so he could find her immediately if anything happened.
Even if her phone was soaked in water or broken, it could still be tracked. So, when he activated the GPS, her location was clearly displayed.
He was too afraid to find Gu Qingcheng’s location at Qi Shaoze’s house.
However, two days after the GPS revealed Gu Qingcheng’s location, Lu Chi arrived at the safe house where Gu Qingcheng was staying.
This safe house was located deep in the mountains, without internet, surrounded by towering trees, such that even a helicopter couldn’t spot the house from above.
When he entered the password and came in, Gu Qingcheng had just finished cooking and was about to eat.
