Huo Sicheng’s eyes flashed.

“Just some trivial matters, not worth mentioning.”

Upon hearing Huo Sicheng’s words, Gu Qingcheng reached out to lightly tug his tie.

“Trivial matters?” She leaned in close to Huo Sichengfeng, her voice sweet and coquettish as she breathed on him, “I just wanted to kiss you, but since you’re still thinking about trivial matters, go ahead and keep thinking.”

As soon as Huo Sicheng heard Gu Qingcheng’s words, he raised his hand to hook around her slender waist, pulling her, who was about to leave, into his arms.

His gaze on Gu Qingcheng was intense, his Adam’s apple moving, his voice hoarse, “If you want to kiss me, just do it, don’t hesitate.”

Gu Qingcheng leaned in Huo Sicheng’s embrace, giggled softly, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

“I want to hesitate, I can’t delay you from thinking.”

“You always tease me and then try to run away,” Huo Sicheng said in a low, hoarse voice, tightening his hold on Gu Qingcheng’s body, “Tonight, you are not allowed to run.”

After he spoke, he lowered his head to kiss her slightly parted cherry lips.

The temperature in the living room suddenly rose.

Gu Qingcheng knew that saying she wanted to kiss Huo Sicheng was just to tease him because she didn’t like it when he showed a cold and indifferent attitude that seemed to exclude her.

After their kiss, she looked at Huo Sicheng, her face flushed like a peach blossom, her voice soft and sweet, “Now tell me, what trivial matter were you thinking about when I wasn’t here?”

Huo Sicheng breathed heavily, a faint blush adorning his handsome, jade-like face.

He gazed at Gu Qingcheng with burning eyes, his voice hoarse, “I mentioned it and you got upset.”

Gu Qingcheng was startled, instinctively thinking of Miss Li.

“Hmph,” she said petulantly, pushing Huo Sicheng away and glaring at him as she got up from his embrace, “When I’m not home, you think about your old flame. Now that I’m here, you dare to think about her? What do you take me

Seeing Gu Qingcheng angry, Huo Sicheng’s heart tightened, his handsome face filled with anxious appeasement, “Qingcheng, you asked me, so I told you the truth. Don’t be angry, it’s not what you think…”

“It’s not what I think, so what is it?” Gu Qingcheng turned and adjusted her clothes, walking towards the dining room.

Huo Sicheng followed behind her, seeming to have thought of something, he became speechless.

Gu Qingcheng went to the dining room, where a fine dinner was set on the table. She knew Huo Sicheng had been waiting for her to come home to eat together.

In fact, she wasn’t really angry with Huo Sicheng, just teasing him.

After all, it’s Huo Sicheng’s head that decides whom he wants to think about, and she couldn’t control that.

As long as Miss Li’s matter wasn’t resolved, it would always bother her.

Although her jealousy was provoked today, she knew she was the one who pressed him to honestly reveal the matter about Miss Li. It was her own doing that caused discomfort, getting angry at Huo Sicheng would only make her seem unreasonable.

“Alright, I’m not angry with you anymore. I haven’t eaten dinner, join me.”

Huo Sicheng was thinking about how to soothe Gu Qingcheng when he saw she wasn’t angry anymore. His eyes showed even more apology.

But he didn’t say anything, just quietly joined Gu Qingcheng for the meal.

After dinner, Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng, about to speak.

Huo Sicheng’s phone suddenly rang. He didn’t intend to answer, but upon seeing the caller ID, his expression turned serious.

“I need to go to the restroom,” Gu Qingcheng said understandingly as she stood up and left.

Huo Sicheng watched her leave before he pressed the answer button.

“I’ve been looking for you all day, and you just now call me,” his voice soft, “I need you to return to Jiang City, we can’t keep hiding our matter from Qingcheng.”

After he finished speaking, the call was disconnected, and he frowned.

When Gu Qingcheng returned to the dining room, Huo Sicheng looked worried and puzzled.

“Ahem,” she coughed lightly to indicate her presence.

Huo Sicheng concealed his emotions and looked at Gu Qingcheng with concern in his eyes, “Are you feeling unwell?”

“No,” Gu Qingcheng sat beside Huo Sicheng, “I have something to tell you.”

Huo Sicheng: “What is it?”

Gu Qingcheng: “Madam Wu, wife of Mr. Zhao, came to see me at Royal Dance tonight.’

Huo Sicheng’s eyes turned cold, a chill emanating from him.

Gu Qingcheng held Huo Sicheng’s hand and rubbed it against her cheek like a cat, coquettishly saying, “Don’t be so cold, listen to me till the end.”

Seeing Gu Qingcheng’s charming and seductive demeanor, Huo Sicheng, who was already powerless against her, was immediately swayed, losing any trace of anger.

“Okay, I’m listening, I’ll listen to anything you say.”

Gu Qingcheng smiled sweetly, briefly explaining the matter Madam Wu wanted to discuss with her.

“Madam Wu is a good person, and so is her son. Husband, I think we should return the company to them,” she softly suggested to Huo Sicheng, “Let’s not take our issues with Mr. Zhao out on these innocent people.”

Huo Sicheng, remembering the venomous words Mr. Zhao hurled at Gu Qingcheng, was still full of rage.

“Qingcheng, you’re too kind. Mr. Zhao doesn’t deserve your generosity.”

“Mr. Zhao might not deserve it, but Madam Wu does,” Gu Qingcheng told Huo Sicheng gently, “Madam Wu took care of me when I was young. Besides you, she is also a lifesaver to me. We’ve talked about this matter before, so I’m also repaying her kindness.”

Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng, resigned, and hugged her, kissing her forehead.

“Okay, I agree with you.”

He understood Gu Qingcheng’s nature.

For those who were kind to her, she would go to great lengths to repay them.

For those who crossed her, she would exact her revenge.

Those who provoked her wouldn’t end well, and he had suffered a lot by her side.

But he didn’t mind those hardships; he only cared about her.

“Husband, you’re so good,” Gu Qingcheng kissed Huo Sicheng’s cheek, “Let’s handle it this way. I’m exhausted today, I want to take a bath and go to bed early. ”

Huo Sicheng, basking in Gu Qingcheng’s affection, agreed, “Okay, finish your medicine first, then I’ll accompany you to the room.”

“Okay.” Gu Qingcheng took her medicine and then went back to the room with Huo Sicheng.

Huo Sicheng contacted Chu Yu to finalize the arrangements.

Deep into the night, for the first time since Miss Li’s incident, Huo Sicheng was allowed to stay by Gu Qingcheng’s side, holding the already asleep Gu Qingcheng in his arms, he remained wide awake.

The next day, Gu Qingcheng dropped off Huo Xuan at school and was heading to Royal Dance when she was stopped at the entrance.

Gu Qingcheng didn’t intend to let Qin Chong enter Royal Dance, so she dismissed the security guards and took Qin Chong to the security room. “Cousin, if you want to see me, just call me. Don’t strain yourself traveling here.”

Qin Chong was displeased that Gu Qingcheng didn’t invite him into the school and after a disdainful glance at the security room, he looked at Gu Qingcheng.

He put on a compassionate face, hypocritically saying, “Cousin-in-law, did you know about your father accidentally falling from the building?” Gu Qingcheng not only knew about Gu Tianhao’s accident, but she also witnessed Qin Chong and Chu He together.

She inwardly despised Qin Chong but maintained a civil front, “I know, I visited him in the hospital yesterday.”

“The doctor said your father’s condition is not optimistic,” Qin Chong said earnestly to Gu Qingcheng, hinting, “If something happens to your father, Gut s Corporation will be taken over by Chu He, and I…”

“Wait a minute,” Gu Qingcheng interrupted Qin Chong, “If something really happens to Gu Tianhao, Chu He has no right to inherit the entire Gu Corporation.”

Qin Chong, seeing Gu Qingcheng’s calm demeanor, tried to probe what else she was thinking but couldn’t discern anything.

“Qingcheng, according to the law of succession, Chu He is the first in line,” he informed her, “Chu He is eligible.”

Gu Qingcheng asked Qin Chong indifferently, “What’s my last name?”
