Chapter 256 - 256: You Broke My Heart

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Qingcheng was just about to kiss her baby’s fair cheeks when his words made her happy.

At a close distance, Huo Xuan saw that his mother’s face was slightly stiff and

his eyes were apologetic.

“I’m sorry, Mommy. I shouldn’t ask you questions that you don’t like.” Gu Qingcheng adored Huo Xuan. He was both mischievous and cute.

His sudden apology made her heart ache.

“Baby, never say sorry to Mommy.” She kissed his little face. “Mommy loves you. You didn’t do anything wrong. If you have any questions, you can ask Mommy. Don’t think that you’ve done anything wrong.”

She paused for a moment and said to Huo Xuan, “You just asked me if your father is a scumbag? You can’t ask your mother this kind of question. Even if you ask her, she can’t answer you. After all, he’s my husband and you’re my son. As a mother, you can’t say anything wrong about your husband in front of your son. This will affect your father’s image in your heart.”

Huo Xuan thought that his mother didn’t want to answer his question. After hearing her answer, he felt that he was disrespecting his father by asking if he was a scumbag.

He loved his father. His father was his world, and his mother was his heart. He couldn’t live without his father and mother.

“I won’t ask randomly in the future.”

“No, if you have any questions, ask Mom.” Gu Qingcheng comforted the sensible Huo Xuan gently. “I’ll tell you anything I can.”

Huo Xuan smiled brightly at Gu Qingcheng. “Okay, I love my mother the most.” Gu Qingcheng smiled dotingly.

At that moment, her phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was Qin Chong calling. She frowned and picked up the call.

“I want to see you,” Qin Chong said weakly.

Gu Qingcheng knew that Qin Chong had a heart attack. He hadn’t recovered from it yet, so she couldn’t go see him.

Although she wanted to kill Qin Chong, she didn’t want to leave behind a name that would anger Qin Chong to death.

“I don’t have time these few days. If you have something to tell me, let Gu Tianhao tell me.”

“Qingcheng, let’s talk.” Gu Tianhao’s voice suddenly sounded. “Are you free today? Shall we have dinner together tonight?”

Gu Qingcheng didn’t expect Gu Tianhao to be with Qin Chong.

Gu Tianhao’s phone number was blocked by her, and she could not reach him.

Gu Mei’s big incident was enough to make Chu He very busy, so Chu He did not have time to look for her. Not to mention, her previous series of schemes made Chu He and her daughter hate Gu Tianhao to the core.

After seeing the video of Gu Mei and Qin Jun being made public, a person like Gu Tianhao, with his temper, would definitely go home and scold Chu He and the others. The Gu family would definitely be in a mess now.

In the end, Qin Chong was the only one who came forward, and Gu Tianhao found a suitable excuse to look for her.

All of this was within her calculations. She said, “Alright, I’ll go to the Gu residence tonight.”

Gu Tianhao didn’t seem to expect Gu Qingcheng to agree so readily. He was silent for a moment, and then he said in ecstasy, “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll get the chef at home to cook your favorite dishes later. I’ll wait for you to come home tonight. It would be even better if Sicheng could go home with you.”

When Gu Qingcheng heard the second half of Gu Tianhao’s sentence, her face darkened, and she hung up the phone immediately.

The next moment, she looked at Huo Xuan in her arms. She wanted to be with the baby, but she had revenge to take. She could not bring her son, Huo Xuan, to a terrifying place like the Gu family.

“Kiddo, Mommy has something to do.”

“Alright,” Huo Xuan replied obediently. “I’ll wait for you at Yunduan.”

“No.” Gu Qingcheng shook her head. “I’ll only be at ease if you’re with your father.” Otherwise, I’ll be worried if you stay in Yunduan alone.

“I want to be with you. Can’t you go back to Wanmei Villa after you’re done with her work?” Huo Xuan asked pitifully. Or you can tell Daddy when you’re done and ask Daddy to send me to Yunduan.”

Gu Qingcheng didn’t want to leave Huo Xuan, either. But she was in a hurry, and Huo Xuan had to attend private lessons at home. She couldn’t delay his studies.

“I wonder what time I will be done.” She comforted Huo Xuan. “Baby, be good. I will look for you after I’m done, okay?”

Huo Xuan didn’t want to leave Gu Qingcheng, but he knew that his mother was busy. He was reluctant to part with her, so he said obediently, “Okay, I’m a good boy.”

Gu Qingcheng didn’t want to contact Huo Sicheng, nor did she want to return to Wanmei Villa.

In the end, she chose a compromise.

“I’ll call your father now. When you pick up the phone, tell your father to pick you up at Royal Dance Academy.”

“Ah…” Huo Xuan was stunned. “Why don’t you tell him yourself? Why should I tell Daddy?”

Gu Qingcheng didn’t want to tell Huo Xuan that she didn’t want to see Huo Sicheng today, lest the child might overthink things.

“Because I am in a hurry to send an email so that I don’t have to talk to him for a long time,” she said gently to Huo Xuan.”

As she spoke, she had already turned on her phone. When she saw the words ‘hubby’ in the caller ID, her heart ached and she felt suffocated.

She changed the word ‘hubby’ to ‘Huo Sicheng’ before dialing the number.

“Tell your father.” She placed the phone in Huo Xuan’s hand. “I’m going to send the email first.”

Huo Xuan watched as his mother hurriedly placed her on the sofa and walked to the desk to look at the computer. He then glanced at the phone that was connected.

He was a child, but he knew that his mother obviously did not want to talk to his father.

It seemed that he was the only one who could talk to his father.

Even so, he did not leave.

Pain, heartache.

The thought of Gu Qingcheng’s ruthlessness and her drive away pained him.

If he had done something wrong and Gu Qingcheng had treated him like this, he would have accepted her heartlessness.

But he didn’t anger Gu Qingcheng.

So, the problem lay with Qi Shaoze. He must have done something to make Gu Qingcheng misunderstand him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so heartless to him for no reason.

When he thought of Qi Shaoze, he remembered that night at the beach. She had defended Qi Shaoze in front of him and broken his heart.

Now, she had chased him away for Qi Shaoze and was even unwilling to return to their home. Her actions had hurt him once again.

He stared at the sea of lilies of the valley that he had planted especially for Gu

Qingcheng. His head spun and he was in excruciating pain.

Suddenly, his phone rang, pulling him back from the pain.

This ringtone was very unique. It wasn’t an ordinary ringtone, but a unique ringtone that he had specially designed for Gu Qingcheng.

The ringtone was the piano piece he had played for her when he had gone to the restaurant to find her. It was the only time in his life that he had played a piece for someone else, and only for Gu Qingcheng.

All these years, no matter how many phones he had changed, this song had always been Gu Qingcheng’s only ringtone.

“Qingcheng…” His voice was hoarse, and his dull eyes lit up as he quickly took out his phone.

When he saw that the caller was Gu Qingcheng, his heart, which seemed to have died, began to beat faster.

It was her. It was Gu Qingcheng who had called him.

She was finally willing to contact him.

He quickly pressed the answer button, and his tone was filled with ecstasy.

“Qingcheng, I’m here. You finally contacted me..”
