“Huo Sicheng followed behind Huo Xuan into the bedroom.

His sharp and handsome features revealed a tenderness reserved only for Gu Qingcheng.

“Hey…” Huo Xuan exclaimed in surprise.

In the next moment, he tiptoed to turn on the lights, looking at the large bed inside the room.

“Mommy…”

Huo Sicheng’s tenderness froze on his face because Gu Qingcheng was not on the bed, and there was no trace of her presence in the chilly room.

“Why isn’t Mommy at home?” Huo Xuan hurriedly ran to the bathroom and opened it, finding it empty. He then scanned the entire bedroom. “Dad, where did Mommy go?”

Huo Sicheng looked disappointed, as he hadn’t expected Gu Qingcheng not to be at home waiting for him.

What worried him the most was that he had specifically instructed the maid to prepare medicine for Gu Qingcheng and ensure she took it every day. If she wasn’t at Wanmei Villa, she probably didn’t take her medicine.

He furrowed his brows, concerned for her health.

Huo Xuan looked at Huo Sicheng and said, “Dad, call Mommy and ask her what she’s doing and why she’s not at home so late.”

Huo Sicheng took out his phone, initially considering checking Gu Qingcheng’s location but remembering that she disliked being monitored by him, so he decided to call her.

“Her phone is turned off.”

“Turned off?” Huo Xuan was surprised and not pleased as he looked at Huo Sicheng. “If you had listened to me, we could have called Mommy in advance to let her know we were back.”

Huo Sicheng hinted, “I remember you agreed not to contact your Mommy in advance so we could surprise her when we came back. You can’t blame this on

Dad.”

“I was wrong,” Huo Xuan admitted. “Then check where Mommy went. It’s not safe for a girl to go out at night.”

“Anyone can be unsafe; your Mommy is safe for sure,” Huo Sicheng said, his finger on the location app. “Knowing your Mommy’s personality, no one dares to mess with her. She’ll tear them apart if they do.”

Huo Xuan didn’t want to hear these words from his dad; he just wanted to see his Mommy. He urged his father, “Find Mommy, I want to see her.”

“So do I.” Huo Sicheng was full of longing but finally checked Gu Qingcheng’s location. “Your Mommy is in Yunduan.”

“Yunduan?” Huo Xuan asked in confusion, “Where is that?”

Huo Sicheng replied, “It’s your Mommy’s own home.”

“Her own home?” Huo Xuan softly muttered these four words, “That’s not right. Mommy’s home is here, at Wan Mei Mountain Villa. We’re here; the three of us are the real family.”

Huo Sicheng looked at Huo Xuan and said, “I’ve arranged for the servants to take care of you. If you’re not feeling well, rest early.”

“I want to find Mommy,” Huo Xuan insisted, running over to block his father as he was about to leave. He climbed onto his father’s legs and sat down without reservation. “I know you’re going to find Mommy, and I’m coming too.” Huo Sicheng hesitated for a moment and said nothing as he took Huo Xuan to

Yunduan.

On the way to Yunduan, Huo Xuan fell asleep in Huo Sicheng’s arms.

When Huo Sicheng arrived at Yunduan, it was already 3 AM. He entered the room skillfully.

The surroundings were pitch black, but he took out his phone and used the dim light to find the elevator and go upstairs.

He gently placed Huo Xuan on the guest room bed and then went to Gu Qingcheng’s bedroom.

When he opened the bedroom door and saw Gu Qingcheng lying on the bed, his anxious heart instantly relaxed.

He approached the bed, and the dim light in the room cast an orange glow, allowing him to see Gu Qingcheng’s peaceful sleeping face clearly.

Her extraordinarily beautiful face held him in its gaze, and he couldn’t look away.

Her breathing was steady, and perhaps because the room was a bit warm, her cheeks had a faint pink tint, making her even more exquisite.

He reached out and gently traced her eyebrows with his fingertips, then her eyes, finally landing on her slightly parted red lips, his fingertip softly caressing them.

She was sleeping soundly and had no idea of his arrival.

He gazed at her, his heart pounding with excitement, unable to resist leaning down to kiss her lips.

“I missed you,” he whispered into her ear, sharing his longing for her. “I missed you so much…”

He confided many things to Gu Qingcheng, but as he turned his head, he saw the sleeping pills on the bedside table, and his pupils constricted.

“Did you take sleeping pills?” His face turned as white as paper, and he quickly turned on the bedroom light, gently patting Gu Qingcheng’s cheek. “Wake up, Qingcheng, wake up…”

Gu Qingcheng had indeed taken pills, but they were not the medicine he had wanted her to take to treat her health; they were sleeping pills.

His heart was gripped with fear and panic because he couldn’t wake her up, indicating she had taken too many pills.

He quickly grabbed his phone and dialed a number. “Come to Yunduan Villa immediately!”

At this moment, Gu Qingcheng’s long eyelashes fluttered, and she opened her slightly bloodshot, sleepy eyes.

The bright light made her squint her eyes, and she muttered in a just-awakened voice, “I closed the window, why is it so bright?”

Huo Sicheng was filled with relief, but his body and mind were still filled with fear, as his cold sweat soaked his body.

Then, when Gu Qingcheng’s hoarse voice sounded, his whole body trembled, and he turned his head to look at her, seeing that she was clearly awake and burying her head in the blankets.

“Qingcheng, you’re awake; that’s great. You’re awake,” he repeated.

Gu Qingcheng, who was in a daze, thought the curtains were not closed and the sun was shining in, disturbing her sleep.

However, Huo Sicheng’s nervous and happy voice penetrated her slumber, and she lay frozen as she heard her name.

With a startled voice, she muttered, “Huo Sicheng…”

Huo Sicheng pulled Gu Qlngcheng into his tight embrace, as though it was the only way he could keep her by his side.

“Yes, it’s me.”

Gu Qingcheng’s stiff body did not relax. Instead, her body became even tighter and her mind was at a loss.

There was only one thought in her mind now: She didn’t want him to hug her.

NO!

She wasn’t about to let him touch her.

He had gone abroad to have a loving relationship with his Miss Li, and then touched her with his body. She found it dirty!

“You’re hurting me!” She struggled immediately, her voice rising with the unique hoarse sound of just waking up, “Let me go!”

As soon as Huo Sicheng heard Gu Qingcheng’s urging voice, he hurriedly let go of her.

Gu Qingcheng had lost all her sleepiness. Huo Sicheng’s handsome, angular face came into her view as she raised her head.

He’s so handsome.

But he’s such an *sshole.

“Why are you here?” With a frown, her anger was clear to see. “Who asked you to come? You are trespassing!”

When Huo Sicheng saw Gu Qingcheng getting angry, he thought she was simply throwing a tantrum, so he coaxed her softly: “I miss you. My son didn’t see you when he got home. He made trouble and insisted on finding you. I had no choice but to break into your place… I…”

When Gu Qingcheng heard Huo Sicheng’s selfish excuses, she thought she had just heard a very funny joke.

He missed her? He had missed her so much?

If he really missed her, why didn’t he call her?

If he really missed her, why didn’t he agree to her request to go to Peach Blossom Island for a few days before going to see Miss Li overseas?

“Get out!” She interrupted Huo Sicheng, commanding him to leave her house immediately.

Huo Sicheng, seeing Gu Qingcheng’s fury, was surprised.

Noticing Huo Sicheng’s refusal to leave, Gu Qingcheng only became more enraged.. “Are you deaf? I asked you to leave my house immediately! Can’t you hear me?”
