Gu Qingcheng didn’t respond to Huo Sicheng. She just listened to Lu Chi.

“I think I heard Huo Sicheng’s voice.”

Gu Qingcheng reached out and held Huo Sicheng’s hand, interlocking her fingers with his before replying to Lu Chi, “I’m with my husband.”

“No wonder I heard Huo Sicheng’s voice.” Lu Chi’s voice came through, accompanied by the sound of him smoking. “I’ve already told you about this. Give me an answer before eight o’clock in the evening so that I can deal with it easily.”

“Okay,” Gu Qingcheng replied.

She hung up the phone and looked at Huo Sicheng, saying softly, “I probably won’t be back for the next two days.”

Huo Sicheng didn’t ask Gu Qingcheng about it but said softly, “I’ll try my best to finish my work and go home.”

“Yes.” Gu Qingcheng leaned her head against Huo Sicheng’s chest and said softly, “Don’t worry, I’m fine. I’ll tell you what happened when I’m done.” Huo Sicheng had a complicated look in his eyes as he said gently, “Alright.”

That night, Gu Qingcheng slept soundly, and her phone lit up again, just like last night. Huo Sicheng turned to look at Qi Shaoze’s name and frowned.

Feeling uneasy, he tightened his grip on Gu Qingcheng.

The next day, Gu Qingcheng woke up early to make breakfast for Huo Sicheng and Huo Xuan.

Huo Sicheng woke up as well. After picking Gu Qingcheng up yesterday, he had spent every second with her, enjoying and longing for her to be his.

He picked up the phone and called Yi Shui. “Go and find out what Lu Chi and

Madam are doing. Remember not to let Madam encounter any danger.”

Not long after he hung up, Yi Shui called back. He frowned when he heard Yi Shui’s news.

Gu Qingcheng was about to call Huo Sicheng for breakfast when she saw him sitting in the living room with his phone in his hand. She couldn’t help but say, “Hubby, are you so busy in the morning?”

Her eyebrows were furrowed, her thin lips slightly pursed, and her black phoenix eyes inadvertently swept over him. She was stunned by Huo Sicheng’s handsome appearance.

He was too good-looking.

When Huo Sicheng saw Gu Qingcheng, he hid the expression that he shouldn’t have shown. He hung up the phone with a gentle look in his eyes, and the corners of his eyes became even more handsome.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“It’s not hard at all to cook for you and the baby.” Gu Qingcheng kissed Huo

Sicheng. “It’s been hard on my husband to earn money to support his family.”

“It’s my duty to support you and our son.” Huo Sicheng wrapped his arms around Gu Qingcheng’s waist. “Besides, I only raised a son. I wanted to raise you, but you didn’t give me a chance.”

“I’m not short of money.” Gu Qingcheng smiled brightly. “Get up and go eat. I’ve just asked the maid to call Xuan Er. I’ve been busy for the past two days, and I’m pressed for time. I’ll go out after I’m done eating.”

“Alright,” Huo Sicheng said.

After Gu Qingcheng had breakfast with her husband and son, she drove away from Wanmei Villa.

She went to the Gu family. This time, she took the initiative to come. After all, Gu Mei was crippled and couldn’t be taken out.

Of course, she wouldn’t put herself in danger and bring Lu Chi’s men to the Gu family.

She was very fast. Before the servant could inform Chu He, she had already entered the living room.

At first glance, she saw Chu He sitting in the living room and drinking coffee gloomily. “You’re still in the mood to drink coffee. Why don’t you hurry up and coax your husband?”

Chu He’s hand trembled, and the hot coffee spilled onto her hand. It hurt so much that she threw the cup away. She looked at Gu Qingcheng in shock.

Gu Qingcheng pretended to look at the broken coffee cup on the floor with a pained expression. “Tsk, tsk. This is fine bone china. It’s such a shame that it’s broken.”

Chu He was wearing a dark green silk long dress, with her hair tied up in a bun and emerald jewelry. Her face was painted with exquisite makeup, and she exuded an elegant and noble aura.

However, all of her elegance vanished in front of Gu Qingcheng, replaced by anger and vigilance.

Today, Gu Qingcheng was wearing a long white dress with hand-embroidered lilies. Her waist-length hair fell gently over her shoulders. She was beautiful without makeup, and her slender figure exuded elegance and grace, but also a

hint of sharpness.

By the window, she looked out. The sunlight fell on her body and cast a layer of light on her, as if she was a fairy from heaven who had descended to the mortal world.

Chu He was jealous of Gu Qingcheng’s beauty, especially the laziness in Gu Qingcheng’s eyes, which reminded her of Mu Xia. She gritted her teeth and wanted to kill Gu Qingcheng.

However, she suppressed this thought when she saw the tall, burly, and fierce bodyguard a few steps away.

“What are you doing here?”

Gu Qingcheng raised her hand and pinched a blooming peony by the window. A dark look flashed across her eyes.

There used to be a white jade hairpin that Mu Xia’s mother liked. Ever since Chu He married into the Gu family, all traces of her mother in this villa had been erased by Chu He.

No one would remember their mother, Mu Xia. Only her daughter would remember her mother. She was the only one who would go to her mother’s memorial every year.

She missed her mother very much, so she hated Chu He even more.

“I’m here for your daughter, Gu Mei.”

Chu He watched Gu Qingcheng pinch off her favorite peony, and her heart skipped a beat. She felt as if her heart had been pinched off by Gu Qingcheng, and she was scared for no reason.

She saw the mocking smile on Gu Qingcheng’s face again, and she was suddenly enraged.

But when she heard that Gu Qingcheng wanted to see her daughter, Gu Mei, her anger was instantly replaced by anxiety.

“Don’t do anything rash.” She couldn’t sit still and stood up. “Someone, go and invite Old Master back. Tell him that Young Miss wants to see him at home.” The servant hurriedly left.

Gu Qingcheng’s expression was languid, but there was a murderous and cold look in the depths of her eyes.

She looked straight at Chu He, who was trying her best to hide her panic but couldn’t hide it, and sneered.

“Don’t worry, I’m not here to kill your daughter.” As she spoke, she walked towards the stairs. “Did you bring Gu Tianhao back so that he could give you to me as a gift?”

Chu He’s face darkened. She had been thinking about Gu Qingcheng for the past few days.

She loved Gu Tianhao, she loved him very much.

However, what Gu Tianhao had done to her and Gu Mei had hurt her deeply. She wasn’t an innocent little girl, and she knew that everything Gu Qingcheng said was right.

However, she did not have the power of her family to protect her from being looked down upon by Gu Tianhao. What was more, she was deeply disappointed in Gu Tianhao.

Gu Tianhao had been very cold to her for the past few days. No matter how she tried to coax him, it was useless. Perhaps her daughter, Gu Mei, was right. If she could make decisions in the Gu family, Gu Tianhao would have nothing to do with her.

Gu Qingcheng’s words made her even more certain of one thought.

But she didn’t have time to think. She couldn’t let Gu Qingcheng kill Gu Mei.

“Xiao Mei hasn’t been asleep for long,” she said, following behind Gu Qingcheng. “If you have something to tell me, don’t disturb her.”

Gu Qingcheng ignored Chu He and went straight to Gu Mei’s room. The moment she opened the door, she almost vomited at the smell of medicine and flowers.

It was a very unpleasant smell. Gu Mei especially liked the fragrance of roses, which triggered her allergies. Every time she smelled the scent of roses, she would get a headache.

She endured her discomfort and entered Gu Mei’s room.

Gu Mei, who was lying on the bed, widened her eyes when she saw Gu Qingcheng. Her eyes were bloodshot and filled with hatred.

Her voice sounded rusty as she screamed at Gu Qingcheng, “Gu Qingcheng, you b*tch…. What are you doing here?”
