Huo Sicheng’s lips twitched, but he hesitated.

Gu Qingcheng stared at Huo Sicheng in confusion.

He rarely hesitated.

This was because he was either a mute or he got straight to the point.

She had a lollipop in her mouth and held Huo Sicheng’s handsome face in her hands.

“Hubby?” She looked at his phoenix eyes in surprise, wanting to see something from his eyes. However, he hid his emotions so well that she couldn’t read them. “What exactly made you hesitate?”

Up close, Huo Sicheng could clearly feel Gu Qingcheng’s warm breath on his face, and her unique fragrance was alluring.

He put his hand in his pocket and took out a black exquisite box. “This is for you. I hope you like it and that it makes you happy.”

Stunned, Gu Qingcheng glanced at the gift box in front of her, and her eyes lit up.

“I was wondering what it was. It turns out that my husband gave me a gift.” She glanced at Huo Sicheng, who was still wearing her watch, and was pleased that he always wore it. She said gently, “There’s no need to discuss gifts. As long as you give me something, I’ll be happy.”

She took the gift box and opened it. When she saw a pair of lily of the valley earrings inside, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes.

He had hesitated so much, and she thought he had something important to discuss with her.

In the end, he had nothing to discuss and only gave her a gift box. This gift instantly touched her heart.

Because of his hesitation and the gift box, she thought of something that both of them lacked.

However, when she opened the gift box excitedly, she did not see what she wanted. She was quite disappointed.

Huo Sicheng noticed that Gu Qingcheng was looking at him. Although he couldn’t see her eyes, he could tell that she wasn’t satisfied with the gift.

“If you don’t like it, you don’t have to.”

“What are you talking about?” Gu Qingcheng had suppressed her emotions. She looked up at Huo Sicheng and smiled sweetly. “Didn’t you hear me? I like all the gifts from my husband.”

“You don’t have to comfort me,” Huo Sicheng said softly. “The gift I chose may not be good enough for you.”

“Into my heart, it’s very much in my heart.” Gu Qingcheng placed the gift box in Huo Sicheng’s hands and said, “Put it on for me. I need a pair of earrings to try on this afternoon. My husband is so considerate that I can put them on without worrying about it.”

Huo Sicheng’s mouth twitched. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t.

It was his first time putting on an earring, and his fingers were stiff and trembling. He was afraid that he would hurt Gu Qingcheng, so he took a few deep breaths and carefully put it on her.

The diamond-inlaid lily earrings on Gu Qingcheng’s earlobes made her neck look especially beautiful.

“Is it nice?” Gu Qingcheng asked Huo Sicheng with a smile.

Huo Sicheng’s eyes were gentle. “Yes.”

Gu Qingcheng walked over to the mirror and looked at herself. Then she turned to Huo Sicheng and gave him a heart sign.

“Hubby, you have great taste. You look good. I like it.”

Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng’s smiling face. She was genuinely happy, and he heaved a sigh of relief.

Gu Qingcheng walked over to Huo Sicheng and kissed him on the lips. She then picked up his wrist to check the time.

“Honey, it’s too late. I have to go see my master.” “I’ll send you there. I’m going back to the company too.”

“Sure,” Gu Qingcheng replied.

Huo Sicheng sent Gu Qingcheng to her destination. After she left, he took out a white box from his pocket.

It was the box Huo Xuan had given him to give to Gu Qingcheng.

He shouldn’t have given her the earrings but this present.

When the doctor told him that he should consummate his marriage with Gu Qingcheng as soon as possible, there was a hint of annoyance in his eyes. He had clearly wanted to…

“Young Master, back to the company?” Ah Qing asked.

Huo Sicheng’s thoughts were interrupted. He said in a deep voice, “Yes.”

Gu Qingcheng watched as Huo Sicheng’s car drove away. Chu Yu’s car was left for her to use in the afternoon, and she smiled gently at his thoughtful gesture.

“These earrings are really beautiful.” When Li Jing saw Gu Qingcheng’s earrings, she was amazed. “This design is obviously custom-made, and it’s your favorite flower. It’s a gift from President Huo.”

Hearing Li Jing’s words of certainty, Gu Qingcheng smiled gently. “Yes, my husband gave it to me.”

Li Jing smiled lovingly. “Try on the clothes first, then try on the makeup.”

“Alright.”

Gu Qingcheng was exhausted after she was done with her work. She sat on the sofa and took out her phone. She wanted to make a call, but there were outsiders around, so she could only open WeChat and send a message carefully.

[Hubby, I’m so tired.]

Huo Sicheng said, [Thank you for your hard work.]

Gu Qingcheng sent an aggrieved emoji. [Is it just hard work? I want you to hug me.]

Huo Sicheng did not reply to her message.

She pouted and sent a pitiful emoji.

“Thank you for your hard work.” Li Jing handed Gu Qingcheng a cup of milk tea.

“By the way, do you know if Gu Mei will be attending this time?”

Gu Mei’s words interrupted Gu Qingcheng’s grievance at not getting a response from Huo Sicheng. She looked at Li Jing and said affirmatively, “Gu Mei won’t appear. I’m not wrong.”

“Withdraw?” Li Jing was shocked. She looked around warily and saw that everyone was busy. She lowered her voice and asked, “What do you mean?”

Gu Qingcheng said, “I can’t tell you about it here, but I’m sure Gu Mei will withdraw from the competition. It’s good for our students, so she won’t go there and talk nonsense.”

Li Jing nodded and looked at her watch. “It’s dinner time. Shall we have dinner together?”

Gu Qingcheng shook her head. “I’m too tired. I want to go home and rest.”

“Alright.” Li Jing stood up. “Do you want me to send you back?”

“I’ll drive back,” Gu Qingcheng said.

“Be careful on the road.’

Gu Qingcheng walked to the garage on her wobbly legs. She was so tired that she even considered hiring a driver to take her home.

Suddenly, a Rolls-Royce stopped in front of her, and the door opened.

Gu Qingcheng was shocked. She had almost crashed into the car. She was about to lose her temper when Huo Sicheng appeared. She widened her eyes and was stunned.

He… Why was he here?

Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng’s dumbfounded expression. He reached out and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, pulling her into his arms and carrying her into the car.

Gu Qingcheng smelled the unique scent of snow on Huo Sicheng’s body. She stared at him with her eyes wide open, as if she were in a dream. She couldn’t believe that he was standing in front of her.

What was more, she could clearly feel his strong arms hugging her. Her thin clothes seemed to be able to feel his steady heartbeat, and her heart could not help but beat faster.

“You…”

“Didn’t you want a hug?” Huo Sicheng lowered his head and kissed Gu Qingcheng on her red lips. “I’m hugging you right now,” he said in a deep, magnetic voice.

Gu Qingcheng felt Huo Sicheng’s cold lips on her lips, and she snapped back to reality. She hugged him ecstatically. “Hubby, your surprise is too sudden.”

He suddenly didn’t move, so she was disappointed but understood that he must be busy with work.

She never expected Huo Sicheng to actually come to her for a hug.

His love for her made her heart throb, and all the blood in her body surged with happiness.

Huo Sicheng asked Gu Qingcheng softly, “Are you happy?

Gu Qingcheng smiled brightly. “I’m happy. I’m very happy.”

Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng, who was as adorable as a child, with a doting expression on his face.

All of a sudden, Gu Qingcheng’s phone rang. She picked it up in surprise. When she saw that it was Lu Chi calling, she couldn’t help but look at her husband.

“Ah Qing, stop the car.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

“No need.” Gu Qingcheng knew that Huo Sicheng had asked her to take the call alone. For her, there was no way she could avoid this call. “Keep driving,” she instructed Ah Qing.

As she spoke, she pressed the answer button and put the phone to her ear.

When she heard Lu Chi’s words, her expression changed and her eyes turned cold. “What did you say? When did this happen?”

“What happened?” Huo Sicheng asked in a very soft voice…
