Gu Tianhao looked around cautiously, making sure no one was around, then turned to Qin Chong.

Qin Chong chuckled upon seeing Gu Tianhao’s actions.

“There’s no one here, just the two of us. Huo Sicheng took Gu Qingcheng to the pavilion for some fresh air and won’t be back so soon. He can’t hear anything we say.”

Gu Tianhao: “Better to be safe than sorry.”

“It’s good to be cautious.” Qin Chong nodded in understanding, then asked, “Continue telling me what you know. If Gu Qingcheng gets pregnant, whose child could it be?”

Gu Tianhao lowered his voice and said to Qin Chong: “Ah Jun.”

Qin Chong’s face changed instantly.

“What nonsense are you talking about!” He looked displeasedly at Gu Tianhao, “Ah Jun and Gu Qingcheng have been dating for many years. He hasn’t even held her hand. Gu Qingcheng has hated him ever since she found out about his affair with Gu Mei. How could my son, Qin Jun, possibly have the chance to sleep with Gu Qingcheng and get her pregnant?”

Gu Tianhao’s eyes were complex. “You don’t know everything. One night, Gu Qingcheng got drunk and took the initiative to meet Qin Jun. After seducing him, they slept together.”

This information came from Bai Si, who had received a billion for it. Though Bai Si didn’t tell him what the billion was for, he revealed to him about Qin Jun and Gu Qingcheng sleeping together.

He didn’t quite believe Qin Jun could have slept with Gu Qingcheng, but Bai Si had never lied to him, so he believed Bai Si. He just didn’t understand why Gu Qingcheng would choose to meet Qin Jun.

Now, if Gu Qingcheng is pregnant, Qin Jun’s chances are higher than Qi Shaoze’s.

Qin Chong was shocked. “Where did you get this information?”

Gu Tianhao: “Don’t ask about that. Just know it’s true.”

“This is serious!” Qin Chong was angry. “Qin Jun is such a failure! If he slept with Gu Qingcheng and she really got pregnant, Huo Sicheng would kill him!”

“Don’t worry.” Gu Tianhao tried to calm Qin Chong down. “We don’t know yet if Gu Qingcheng is pregnant. It’s all speculation. Don’t get nervous. You know your condition; don’t pass out here.”

“Whether Gu Qingcheng is pregnant or not isn’t important. The issue is Qin Jun and Gu Qingcheng being together!” Qin Chong’s face was ashen, and he clutched his chest in pain. “He could have slept with anyone, but why Gu Qingcheng? My life depends on Huo Sicheng! If he offends Huo Sicheng, and my lifesaving medication is cut off, I can only wait for death!”

“Don’t panic.” Gu Tianhao comforted Qin Chong. “This isn’t a big deal. Qin Jun and Qingcheng were lovers before. Their sleeping together is not a huge issue. Besides, do you think Huo Sicheng wouldn’t know about them sleeping together?”

Qin Chong was surprised. “You mean Huo Sicheng knows about Qin Jun and Gu

Qingcheng? He forgives Gu Qingcheng?”

“I can’t guess Huo Sicheng’s thoughts.” Gu Tianhao said to Qin Chong. “But if Gu Qingcheng really is pregnant, regardless of whose child it is, if Huo Sicheng doesn’t get angry at Gu Qingcheng or take it out on you, it means he’s chosen to tolerate it. This is good news; your grandson might control the entire Huo Corporation.”

Hearing Gu Tianhao, Qin Chong felt no joy, only saying, “I don’t want Gu Qingcheng to bear a child for our Qin family.”

“That’s too much.” Gu Tianhao was displeased. “Gu Qingcheng is my daughter.

What’s wrong with her bearing a child for the Qin family? If it weren’t for Qin Jun’s affair with Gu Mei being discovered by Gu Qingcheng, she would have married Qin Jun and born his children.”

“That’s not it.” Qin Chong corrected Gu Tianhao. “Our plan didn’t include Gu Qingcheng bearing a child for the Qin family! We only planned to get her inheritance, then dispose of her after taking it.”

Gu Tianhao’s expression changed slightly, his dark eyes fixated on Qin Chong. “Plans can’t keep up with changes. No matter what, Gu Qingcheng is my daughter. If she’s really pregnant with your Qin family’s child, you must accept it. Of course, if she’s not pregnant, everything we discussed today is just nonsense.”

Qin Chong said without hesitation, “It’s better if Gu Qingcheng isn’t pregnant!” “I hope Gu Qingcheng is pregnant!” Gu Tianhao disagreed with Qin Chong. “Her stable position is only beneficial for the Gu family.”

Qin Chong was angry but didn’t want to conflict with Gu Tianhao and said nothing more.

Gu Tianhao didn’t speak either. He and Qin Chong looked in the direction Huo Sicheng left, wondering what he was doing.

At this moment, Huo Sicheng, full of worry and nervousness, looked at Gu Qingcheng lying in his arms.

He gently stroked her back, dropping tender kisses on her black hair, silently comforting her pain.

Gu Qingcheng’s breath was full of Huo Sicheng’s unique cold fragrance. Her stomach was churning, thankfully empty, or she would have vomited on Huo Sicheng.

She inhaled Huo Sicheng’s scent deeply, enduring her discomfort.

The thin dress let her feel the warmth of Huo Sicheng’s hand, seemingly magical in easing her pain.

Her breathing gradually steadied, the dizziness fading, but the nausea persisted, making her cling to Huo Sicheng. persisted, making her cling to Huo Sicheng.

Feeling Gu Qingcheng’s tight grip, Huo Sicheng’s voice was gentle as water, comforting: “Breathe slowly…”

It took a while for Gu Qingcheng to feel a bit better. The steady heartbeat of Huo Sicheng in her ear was reassuring and warming.

Despite her grievances against him, they couldn’t compare to the security his embrace provided.

That’s why she was particularly concerned about Miss Li’s existence. She didn’t want anyone to take her Huo Sicheng away.

No one could take him from her!

She lifted her head from his embrace, her face pale, her expressive eyes filled with apology as she looked at Huo Sicheng’s worried eyes.

“I’m sorry, I forgot today was the anniversary of your parents’ death.” She sincerely apologized to Huo Sicheng. “Regardless, I’m part of the Huo family, your parents’ daughter-in-law. It’s my fault for forgetting my in-laws’ memorial day.”

Huo Sicheng’s eyes were full of tenderness as he looked at Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng was just like that.

When she was unreasonable, no one could convince her.

When she was reasonable, no matter what happened, she could recognize her mistakes and bravely admit them, never avoiding them.

Moreover, today Gu Qingcheng did nothing wrong. He hadn’t told her about his parents’ memorial day.

In recent days, he had seen her mood low because of him, feeling unspeakable guilt.

Yet, he felt more pity for her being hurt by the roses.

“You’re not wrong, I am. I didn’t tell you.” He looked at her bloodless face with pity. “Don’t blame yourself.”

“I’m not blaming myself. If I’m wrong, then I’m wrong. If I’m wrong, I should admit it.” Gu Qingcheng saw Huo Sicheng’s concern and asked him meaningfully, “It’s you, right? Have you always been right these years?”

Huo Sicheng paused, not understanding her question at first, then asked her,

“What do you mean by ‘it’s me’?”
