Huo Sicheng saw the love in Gu Qingcheng’s eyes. He reached out and held her slender hand.

“Have you eaten breakfast?”

“No.” Gu Qingcheng shook her head. “You haven’t answered my question.” Huo Sicheng caressed Gu Qingcheng’s palm gently.

He stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace. He let her sit on his lap and brought her to the kitchen.

“I haven’t eaten breakfast either. I’m waiting for you in the living room,” he replied.

Gu Qingcheng was shocked. She couldn’t help but think back to the days when Huo Sicheng would always be waiting for her in the living room when she returned to Wanmei Villa.

She said with certainty, “You haven’t slept in the living room since last night, waiting for me.”

Huo Sicheng placed the milk in front of Gu Qingcheng.

“Yes.”

“Didn’t I tell you that I won’t be back tonight?” Gu Qingcheng’s heart ached. “Why are you so naughty? You’re covered in injuries and were rescued by the doctor. You’re extremely weak. You…”

She was afraid that she would get angry, so she stopped talking in time to avoid arguing with Huo Sicheng.

Huo Sicheng saw that Gu Qingcheng had managed to control her emotions, and his gentle eyes rippled.

She had always held back her words in a timely manner because she was afraid of hurting him.

He brushed the hair on her forehead to her ear and leaned forward to plant a kiss on her forehead. “Just say what you want to say. Don’t hold it in. Otherwise, you’ll feel very uncomfortable.”

“I’m not holding it in. I’ve said what I need to say.” Gu Qingcheng saw through

Huo Sicheng’s thoughts and softened her tone. “You said you’d take care of me. Your body is about to collapse. How are you going to take care of me? I told you, I want you to take care of me. You have to be healthy!”

“Alright, I’ll take good care of my body from today onwards and take good care of you personally.” Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng’s helpless face and comforted her softly. “Don’t be angry. I was waiting in the living room for you to come back and see me first.

“I’m not angry. I said I’ll come back after I’m done with my work, so I’ll definitely come back.” Gu Qingcheng couldn’t bear to see Huo Sicheng comforting her when he was sick. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips. “Good morning, Hubby. In the future, if I tell you that I’m not coming back, don’t wait for me, understand?”

Huo Sicheng kissed Gu Qingcheng back, then shook his head. “It’ll depend on the situation.”

“Humph.” Gu Qingcheng grunted. She didn’t want to get tangled up over a question. “Let’s eat first. After dinner, you can go to bed with me. I didn’t sleep at all last night. I’m tired and sleepy.”

When Huo Sicheng heard Gu Qingcheng say that she had been tormented the whole night, his eyes flickered, but he didn’t say anything. He just sat quietly with Gu Qingcheng and ate breakfast.

Gu Qingcheng went back to her room to wash up, lay down next to Huo

Sicheng, and yawned.

“Hubby, sleep.”

Huo Sicheng kissed Gu Qingcheng on the cheek.” Close your eyes and go to sleep.”

Gu Qingcheng fell asleep.

Huo Sicheng twirled Gu Qingcheng’s black hair with his long fingers, not feeling sleepy at all. He stared at her with his deep eyes.

When Gu Mei woke up, she was lying on the ground. Her mottled body blinded her eyes and she could not even scream in fear.

She couldn’t even move.

The scenes from last night flooded into her mind. She was torn apart again and again like a broken doll.

“Help…Help…” She shouted weakly, thinking of Gu Qingcheng. “Gu Qingcheng, I’m going to kill you. I’m going to cut you into pieces. Gu Qingcheng, you b*tch,

I’m going to kill you. I’m going to…”

She lay on the ground for a long time before weakly crawling to the landline and calling her mother, Chu He.

“Mommy, save me, save me…’

When Chu He arrived at the hotel and saw her daughter lying on the ground with wounds all over her body, she immediately knew what had happened and was terrified.

“Xiao Mei, Xiao Mei.” She gently patted Gu Mei’s cheek and cried until her eyes were red. “Mommy is here. What happened to you? Tell me. I will take you to the police station.”

Gu Mei woke up slowly and saw her mother, Chu He, coming. She cried out loud and quickly rejected her mother.”No, I can’t let anyone know what happened to me.”

“Xiao Mei…” Chu He was busy saying, “You’re out, you’re out, how can you hide such a big thing?!”

“No! I’m the eldest daughter of the Gu family. Once I make my matter public, everyone will know that I was…Here…” Gu Mei shook her head in horror. How was she going to mingle in the socialite circle?

“No, I definitely can’t!”

When Chu He heard Gu Mei’s words, she also knew that she had been too anxious and had not thought things through.

This kind of scandal could not be made public. Otherwise, not only would their daughter, Gu Mei, be destroyed, Gu Tianhao’s reputation would be ruined, and the mother and daughter would be living on thin ice in the Gu family.

“Mommy will take you home first.”

She took a bathrobe for her daughter to put on and helped her daughter, Gu Mei, into the wheelchair.

“Xiao Mei, tell me what happened. Mom will stand up for you. I won’t forgive the person who hurt you!”

“It’s Gu Qingcheng.” Gu Mei gritted her teeth and said angrily, “Gu Qingcheng forced me to drink something with substance and brought me here to be… By…”

She was so embarrassed that she couldn’t continue. When she thought about what happened last night, she was about to go crazy.

Chu He widened her eyes in shock. “What? Gu Qingcheng, that b*tch? How could she do this to you?”

Gu Mei did not dare to tell her mother, Chu He, that she had plotted against Huo Sicheng first. Otherwise, Chu He would think that she deserved to be tortured by Gu Qingcheng. It was her fault for scheming against Huo Sicheng first.

“I don’t know why Gu Qingcheng is doing this to me. I just went to the bar to drink, she suddenly found me to pour me wine. She said she was jealous of my beauty, and she hated the mistress Chu He’s daughter. She can only pretend to be pitiful and cry. Mom, Gu Qingcheng keeps calling you a mistress. You’re a b*tch, apparently. You killed her mother, Mu Xia. She wanted to kill you. I was so angry that I scolded her, but she…” She just… Sob sob sob…

“Mom, you have to help me…’

Chu Hexin was shocked by Gu Mei’s words, especially when Gu Mei said that she had killed Mu Xia, which made her heart tremble. She could not help but think of Yuan Qiaolan.

However, when she thought about how greedy Yuan Qiaolan was, and how she had been blackmailing her for half her life, she was relieved that she would not tell Gu Qingcheng about something so easily.

“Gu Qingcheng, that damned b*tch!” She cursed and comforted Gu Mei. “Xiao Mei, I know you were tortured by Gu Qingcheng because you protected your mother. Don’t worry, I won’t forgive Gu Qingcheng! She must pay the price!”

“Mom, tell everyone that you have something on Gu Qingcheng.” A sinister look flashed across Gu Mei’s eyes. She cried and begged her mother, Chu He, “Your daughter was tortured by Gu Qingcheng. My innocence is gone. You can’t leave me alone just to threaten Gu Qingcheng.. I beg you to expose Gu Qingcheng’s weakness, okay?”
