1632 Parted On Bad Terms
When they arrived at Maple Garden, Qiao Xi was about to go upstairs to take a shower when Gu Zheng hugged her and led her to the backyard of Maple Garden. There were two lounge chairs in the small pavilion, and there was hot tea and exquisite pastries on the table.

“The moon is really round tonight. Let’s admire the moon.” Gu Zheng sighed.

A gust of autumn wind blew past, and Qiao Xi shivered. They were admiring the moon outside so late at night?

As if he could tell that she was cold, Gu Zheng unbuttoned his coat and wrapped her petite body in his arms. His smiling voice sounded in her ears. “You’re wearing so little. Are you cold?”

“All girls love to look pretty!” Qiao Xi sniffed.

Qiao Xi leaned into Gu Zheng’s embrace. Her entire body was warm, but she was inexplicably puzzled. Why did Gu Zheng suddenly bring her here to admire the moon? Could it be that today was a special day?

Before Qiao Xi could ask, Gu Zheng’s low voice sounded. “Do you know why He Tingchen is looking for me?”

Qiao Xi had a confused expression. “Why?”

A mocking smile appeared on Gu Zheng’s face. “He really just wants to catch up. I sent someone to follow He Tingchen and saw him go to the Gu family’s old residence alone. He didn’t bring anything with him and didn’t contact anyone else.

“He Tingchen hasn’t been staying in the He family’s villa recently, nor has he contacted He Wenxian. It’s probably because He Wenxian pretended to be you and wronged you. It’s a huge blow to him, so he can’t face He Wenxian for a while.”

Qiao Xi was slightly surprised. “Does he really not know what the He family has done? Did he come to look for you just to catch up?”

Gu Zheng was silent for a moment before saying indifferently, “He’s indeed a little stupid, but he’s really different from the He family. He’s considered a kind person. He didn’t come to look for me with any ill intentions today.”

Qiao Xi shook her head. “Even if he’s very kind, he should know that He Weinian abandoned you and went overseas five years ago. Your relationship with the He family has long been ruined. Don’t you think it’s very strange that he came over to express his goodwill to you now?”

When Gu Zheng heard her say this, he abruptly looked up with a trace of coldness in his eyes. “Xi Xi, he’s my friend. I hope you believe him.”

Qiao Xi’s body stiffened. She pushed Gu Zheng away unnaturally. “But I’m just worried about you. I think he has ill intentions.”

“You don’t have to interfere in my matters,” Gu Zheng said indifferently. “He Tingchen is my friend. I have the right to decide whether to interact with him or not. Xi Xi, you shouldn’t interfere.”

Qiao Xi’s heart instantly fell to the bottom of the valley, and she had a strong urge to cry. She abruptly stood up, and her face was slightly pale. This was the first time Gu Zheng had spoken to her like this.

Gu Zheng sensed the low pressure exuding from her body, and his heart trembled.

 

Qiao Xi distanced herself and said coldly, “Alright, since you’ve said so, I won’t interfere in your matters in the future.”
Gu Zheng’s words kept echoing in her ears. Her heart was heavy as she turned around and said, “I’m tired.”

Gu Zheng watched her leave and pursed his lips. An hour later, he returned to the bedroom. Qiao Xi had already fallen asleep. Her petite body was curled up tightly against the side of the bed.

Gu Zheng wanted to reach out and move her toward the middle of the bed, but just as he was about to touch her, he realized that she was frowning tightly. His body stiffened for a moment before she stood up and left.

The next day.

When Qiao Xi woke up, the man beside her had already left. She was even more depressed.

When she washed up and went downstairs, she heard a voice coming from downstairs. “Ah Zheng, you’re finally willing to see me!”

He Tingchen’s voice carried a trace of guilt. “Previously, I trusted Wenxian too much and offended your wife. Is she still angry with me?”

“Perhaps.” Gu Zheng’s voice was indifferent.

“Then I’ll apologize to her!”

Qiao Xi originally wanted to have a good talk with Gu Zheng, but at this moment, her mood had fallen to rock bottom again. Gu Zheng did not care about her feelings at all. They parted on bad terms yesterday because of He Tingchen, but today, he invited He Tingchen to the house as a guest. He clearly did not take her seriously!

She hated the He family and He Tingchen. Moreover, she had a feeling that He Tingchen must have ulterior motives for looking for Gu Zheng, but Gu Zheng was still unwilling to listen to her.

Qiao Xi’s expression was gloomy. She was not in the mood to eat breakfast and directly returned to the bedroom. She changed her clothes, put on makeup, and carried her bag downstairs.

“Young Madam, breakfast is ready,” Xiao Lan hurriedly said.

Qiao Xi replied coldly, “I don’t feel like eating.”

“But…” Xiao Lan looked at Gu Zheng. He lowered his eyes and said casually, “It’s fine if Young Madam doesn’t want to eat. She’ll go out and eat.”

“Alright.” Xiao Lan frowned and walked out. She felt that the atmosphere today was a little strange.
