Gu Qingcheng’s unhappy expression froze on her face.

She looked at Huo Sicheng blankly, noticing an unprecedented seriousness in his eyes. Jealous? Huo Sicheng said he was jealous? She couldn’t believe that she could hear the word ‘jealous’ from Huo Sicheng’s mouth. Ever since they got married, no matter who she was with, he always acted as if it had nothing to do with him. He wouldn’t be angry or show concern, even when she and Qi

Shaoze were trending. The only time he was angry was when she said the word

‘death’. That was not right. There was another time when she was at Qi Shaoze’s house, and he was angry too. But, that time at Qi Shaoze’s house, he was angry because she ran away, and he came to take her home.

“You didn’t hear wrongly. I’m jealous,” Huo Sicheng held Gu Qingcheng’s slightly cold hand. “How can I not be jealous? Do you really think I’m very generous?”

Facing Gu Qingcheng’s dumbfounded expression, he said very clearly, “I’m actually very petty and narrow-minded, so much so that I can only accommodate you in my heart.”

Boom! Gu Qingcheng’s mind went blank as she stared at Huo Sicheng in shock. What was he doing? Confession? Did he confess to her?

“Huo Sicheng…” She called his name in a daze.

“I’m here,” Huo Sicheng replied to Gu Qingcheng in a gentle voice. “I’m just used to being tolerant of you and keeping my feelings to myself. That doesn’t mean I’m a heartless person. I would feel heartbroken, sad, and even more envious when you talked and laughed with others, but you were cold to me and never cared about me.”

Hearing Huo Sicheng’s words, Gu Qingcheng’s head buzzed. She had already experienced all the emotions he was talking about. She had never thought that he had also been experiencing the pain of being ignored. This confused her. She couldn’t understand why he would have such emotions when he didn’t like her.

“What’s wrong with me?” Huo Sicheng asked Gu Qingcheng seriously. “What’s not to your satisfaction? You can tell me.”

Gu Qingcheng had never been so confused. She stared at Huo Sicheng blankly, not knowing what to say.

Huo Sicheng didn’t make things difficult for Gu Qingcheng. He reached out and pulled her into his arms. He gently kissed her black hair and did not say anything else. He just brought her back to her room.

Gu Qingcheng was in Huo Sicheng’s arms in the princess’ room. Perhaps her body was too weak, or perhaps her brain had shut down. She fell asleep in his arms in a daze.

She had a dream again. This time, it was the same dream as the previous ones. In her dream, a little boy was standing in front of her. She repeated the same sentence, asking the little boy to protect her and asking him to marry her when she grew up. She did not understand why she had such a dream because she did not have such a memory.

“You’re awake,” Huo Sicheng said gently.

Gu Qingcheng opened her eyes. Huo Sicheng’s voice made her freeze. She turned her head and saw him sitting by her bed, his long, narrow slanted eyes filled with tenderness as he gazed at her.

“You… You won’t be guarding me forever, right?”

“Yes.

Gu Qingcheng pursed her lips, turned around, and looked Huo Sicheng in the eye. “You can lie down, but why are you sitting and guarding me?”

“I went to boil some ginger soup.” Huo Sicheng’s voice was gentle. “It’s probably because of the cold. You need to drink more ginger soup.”

“You’re lying again.” Gu Qingcheng said coquettishly. “You’re not a doctor. How do you know that you’ll get better after drinking ginger soup?”

Huo Sicheng’s lips twitched, but he didn’t say anything.

“But I’m thirsty.” Gu Qingcheng sat up slowly. “I’m going to the bathroom.

Prepare the ginger soup.”

“Alright.”

When Gu Qingcheng arrived at the dining room, Huo Sicheng was peeling an apple for her. His gentleness and thoughtfulness made her heart skip a beat.

“Why are you suddenly so nice to me?”

“Because we’re husband and wife. It’s my responsibility to take care of you.” Huo Sicheng pointed at the ginger soup on the table. “Drink it. When your period is over, I’ll accompany you to the hospital for a checkup.”

“What kind of checkup?” Gu Qingcheng asked. She didn’t know if Huo Sicheng had said that he made ginger soup, but she drank a large bowl of it in one go.

“I always have menstrual cramps. I need to check the cause.” Huo Sicheng placed the peeled apple in front of Gu Qingcheng. “You can rest at home for the next few days. ”

Gu Qingcheng was about to respond when her phone rang. It was Yuan Feng. She pressed the answer button and said gently, “Ah Feng, what’s wrong?”

Huo Sicheng heard her sweet voice, but it was both seductive and ear-piercing. She had also acted coquettishly towards him before, so he knew that her voice and appearance when she acted coquettishly were seductive. He knew that she had a motive for getting close to Yuan Feng, but when she spoke to Yuan Feng in a coquettish voice, he was extremely jealous.

“Today? Alright, I’ll go over now.”

“You’re not feeling well. Don’t go out again.” Huo Sicheng stopped her and said,

“Also, don’t be so sweet to other men.”

“Ah…” Gu Qingcheng was stunned for a moment. “Sweet?”

“Yes, you’re too sweet.” Huo Sicheng was a little unhappy. “I don’t like it when people see your sweetness.”

Gu Qingcheng was stunned, but then she laughed.

“So, are you jealous?”

“Yes.” Huo Sicheng admitted, “I was jealous.”

“What’s wrong with you today?” Gu Qingcheng rested her chin on her hand and stared at Huo Sicheng. “Something’s not right.”

“I don’t feel right, I’m just trying to get all the past, you’re silent, I’m just saying.”

A complicated look appeared in Gu Qingcheng’s eyes.

“Why didn’t you say so in the past? You’re only telling me now?”

“In the past, there was no sense of crisis.”

“Now you have a sense of crisis?” Gu Qingcheng laughed. “Who asked you to suddenly feel threatened?”

Could Huo Sicheng say that he was Qi Shaoze? She wouldn’t believe it even if he told her. So he didn’t answer Gu Qingcheng’s question. Instead, he took out a document.

“Sign it. Don’t make things difficult for the competition.”

Gu Qingcheng looked at the investment document and leaned back lazily in her chair.

“What if I don’t sign it?”

Huo Sicheng’s heart skipped a beat when he saw Gu Qingcheng’s charming eyes.

“If you don’t sign it, I definitely won’t force you.” He rubbed his fingers against her palm and said softly, “I also know that you’re strong and won’t rely on anyone. Then can you make an exception and let me have the honor of being relied on by you?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gu Qingcheng wanted to reject Huo Sicheng, but she swallowed her words. Her palm was itchy from his tickling, and she wanted to retract her hand, but he held it even tighter.

“Stop fooling around.” She pouted coquettishly but did not retract her hand.

She said helplessly, “Why should I rely on you? What are you plotting?”

“There are no schemes or tricks.” Huo Sicheng smiled. “I just feel that I can’t keep quiet anymore. If I keep quiet, my wife will run away with someone else.” Seeing Huo Sicheng smile, Gu Qingcheng’s love for him grew again. She said in a huff, “Who can I run with?”

“You’re so wild and charming. There are many people who like you. Who knows, one day you might run away in a fit of pique.”

Huo Sicheng’s words were intriguing, but Gu Qingcheng didn’t catch them. She just smiled and didn’t say anything.

“Do you want to know the question you asked yesterday?” Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng lovingly. “I’ll tell you the answer today.”

Gu Qingcheng didn’t understand. She had asked Huo Sicheng too many questions yesterday.

“What’s the problem?” she asked.

Huo Sicheng gently hooked Gu Qingcheng’s chin, and as he stood close to her, he said earnestly, “I like you..”
