Gu Qingcheng’s expression of rage was frozen on her face.
She was astonished, staring at Huo Sicheng, his words echoing in her ears.
What did he say?
Once the kidnapping ordeal was over, he was willing to explain everything about Miss Li?
Kidnapping?
How did Huo Sicheng know about her being kidnapped?
As she pondered, an image of Lu Chi appeared in her mind, her eyes carrying a hint of resignation.
Why was Lu Chi bending his efforts towards Huo Sicheng, even going so far as to tell him about her situation?
However, more than the kidnapping, she was eager to meet Miss Li, to understand what she planned to do.
After all, Miss Li was pregnant, and the child was innocent and couldn’t be without a father. The situation couldn’t be delayed.
Huo Sicheng watched Gu Qingcheng’s expression shift from surprise to calm, but he never received a response from her.
“Can you stop being angry?” His voice was gently soothing, with a coaxing tone, “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have made you angry or upset. Please, calm down. You’re not well, and getting upset isn’t good for you. It’s all my fault.
Please, don’t be mad.”
Gu Qingcheng stared at Huo Sicheng, realizing that her surge of anger had dissipated without her noticing.
No, it wasn’t that he had calmed her down; it was his willingness to tell her everything about Miss Li that had shocked her into torgetting her anger. “What does my being angry have to do with you?” She rolled her eyes in annoyance, “You talk too much.”
Seeing Gu Qingcheng engaging with him, Huo Sicheng silently sighed in relief.
“I talk a lot because I want to talk more with you,” his gaze was tender yet filled with self-reproach, “I made you angry, and you should scold me. Huo Xuan hasn’t seen you at home and knows we’ve had a disagreement. He’s been missing you so much that he hasn’t been eating or sleeping well, hasn’t gone to school for days, and even calls out for ‘mom’ in his dreams.”
Hearing that Huo Xuan was missing her to the point of not eating or sleeping made her heart ache, knowing this was something he would indeed do.
Her precious son loved her deeply, and every time she and Huo Sicheng argued, Huo Xuan would become anxious and worried, fearing he’d lose her.
“My son wouldn’t scold you. It’s more like you scolding him,” she snorted, then rebuked Huo Sicheng, “Really, even if Xuan misses me, shouldn’t he be going to school? You just let him skip school? What kind of father are you?”
“I’ve failed as a father, but it’s mainly because the head of this family isn’t home, throwing everything into chaos,” Huo Sicheng smoothly cajoled Gu Qingcheng, “Come home, and our family can return to normal. Huo Xuan will go to school obediently. You know he only listens to you.”
Listening to Huo Sicheng flattering her, she coldly huffed.
“I’m not the head of the family, stop flattering me. I’m telling you, things between us aren’t over.”
“You are the head of the family,” Huo Sicheng stated confidently, seriously, “Please, the head of the family, don’t be angry.”
As they spoke, he quickly reached out to grab Gu Qingcheng’s hand and brought it towards his face.
“Hit me if it makes you feel better.”
When Huo Sicheng’s hand grasped Gu Qingcheng’s, she jerked as if burned, attempting to pull away.
“What are you doing?” she exclaimed, “You’re crazy. Hitting you won’t make me feel better. Get lost.”
She tried to pull her hand back forcefully but Huo Sicheng held on tighter. Left with no choice, she raised her other hand to push him away; she didn’t want to hit Huo Sicheng in the face, knowing it wouldn’t erase the fact that he got Miss Li pregnant.
As Gu Qingcheng reached out to push him away, Huo Sicheng extended his arm, pulled her into his embrace with a tug.
“Stop it, be good,” he soothed Gu Qingcheng, “Be good.’
Gu Qingcheng was caught off guard by Huo Sicheng suddenly pulling her into his arms.
Feeling his strong arms around her waist and his steady heartbeat in her ear, she felt an uncontrollable flutter in her heart.
“Let me go.” She struggled, not wanting to be appeased so easily, “Huo Sicheng, let me go, let go!”
However, Huo Sicheng held her even tighter, making it impossible for her to struggle.
Frustrated and about to glare at Huo Sicheng in anger, her gaze met his, which shone like stars, bright as the dawn breaking through her recent days of darkness and gloom, bringing light and warmth.
She was stunned, staring at Huo Sicheng’s eyes filled with tender affection, feeling the apology and indulgence emanating from him.
Only then did she realize that their arguments hadn’t been just about pain as on the first night but had evolved into something more akin to playful bickering between husband and wife today.
NO!
She shouldn’t be like this; she didn’t want to forgive him so easily!
Just as she was about to scold Huo Sicheng, his distinctively handsome face loomed closer.
The next moment, her lips felt a cool touch, and her pupils contracted involuntarily because she had been kissed by Huo Sicheng.
But Huo Sicheng’s kiss was not deep, just a light peck like a feather.
“You… you’re not allowed to kiss me…” She was both embarrassed and annoyed, “Just talk, why are you… mmm…”
Before Gu Qingcheng could finish her sentence, Huo Sicheng unhesitatingly captured her mouth again, silencing all her words.
Their lips pressed tightly together.
Huo Sicheng gently teased open Gu Qingcheng’s lips, invading her sweetness, savoring her usual delightful flavors.
Gu Qingcheng’s eyes, initially filled with anger, slowly softened, eventually shimmering like glistening water.
Her heart trembled, feeling Huo Sicheng’s strong arms tighten around her, her body involuntarily melting into a pool of spring water, drowning in his embrace.
Huo Sicheng, feeling Gu Qingcheng’s body relax from its initial stiffness and her anger dissipate, closed his eyes and kissed her with eyes full of tender love.
The kiss was long, so prolonged that both lacked oxygen and felt dizzy before they slowly parted.
“I was wrong.” Huo Sicheng’s eyes burned with intensity as he looked at Gu
Qingcheng in his arms, his voice mingling apology with soothing coaxing,
“Making you angry was my fault. Won’t you stop being mad, please?”
Gu Qingcheng felt soft all over, enveloped by Huo Sicheng’s compelling presence, his deep, magnetic voice making her heart flutter.
“Not okay,” she pouted in feigned annoyance, “Don’t think you can seduce me by kissing me. I’m telling you, I’m not falling for that anymore.”
“Then what are you falling for now?” Huo Sicheng asked softly, “Tell me, and
I’ll do it.”
Gu Qingcheng replied, “I’m not falling for any of it. Let me go. Stop bothering me here. I need to save my energy for dealing with matters at the Qin family.”
Huo Sicheng, with his chin resting on Gu Qingcheng’s shoulder, inquired,
“What are you doing at the Qin family?”
