Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chu Yu looked troubled by Gu Qingcheng’s question and couldn’t finish his sentence.
Gu Qingcheng knew that Chu Yu was afraid Huo Sicheng would question him, so she comforted him, saying, “I said I would protect you.”
“This…” Chu Yu’s eyes showed a hint of complexity and nervousness. “Actually, President Huo…”
Just as Chu Yu opened his mouth, Gu Qingcheng’s WeChat phone rang.
Fortunately, Huo Sicheng was asleep. If she had been beside him, the WeChat ringtone would have woken him up.
She took out her phone and saw several missed calls on the screen. Qi Shaoze had called the most, followed by Li Jing.
It was Li Jing who called her on WeChat, and she answered without hesitation.
Li Jing, the elegant and gentle man, saw Gu Qingcheng on the video call and heaved a sigh of relief. “Qingcheng, are you not coming to the Peach Lotus Cup today?”
“No,” Gu Qingcheng replied to Li Jing. “Missing one day won’t hurt. If the Peach Lotus Cup officials can’t wait, they can find another coach to replace .”
Her participation in the Peach Lotus Cup was primarily to uncover who had betrayed her in her previous life.
Now that she had discovered that Chu He was behind it, her participation didn’t matter much.
The Peach Lotus Cup was an official competition, and as a teacher, she couldn’t show favoritism to her students. So, the students from Royal Dance would have to rely on their own efforts to succeed.
Li Jing was surprised by Gu Qingcheng’s response. After a mont of thought, he said, “You can take a break for the next two days; there won’t be any matches for our school. Deal with your matters first, then co back to the venue. Your presence as the principal of Diyi is a great encouragent to our students.”
“Alright,” Gu Qingcheng agreed.
Li Jing nodded and added, “By the way, I ran into Qi Shaoze. He seed lost, searching for you everywhere. He asked about your whereabouts several tis.”
A complicated look crossed Gu Qingcheng’s face. “Don’t worry about Qi Shaoze.”
“It’s not my concern,” Li Jing replied. “I understand that you’re with President Huo. If I wanted to interfere, I would have inford him. He asked several tis, but I told him I didn’t know your whereabouts.”
Gu Qingcheng ended the video call with Li Jing and turned to Chu Yu, who was about to leave. “Tell .”
After considering it, Chu Yu decided to tell Gu Qingcheng the truth. She could protect herself, and President Huo was worried she wouldn’t tell the truth.
Seeing Gu Qingcheng’s genuine feelings for President Huo, he hoped the couple would continue to be loving and avoid further conflicts.
“President Huo wasn’t poisoned. He was affected by a drug that can only be bought on the black market,” Chu Yu explained bluntly. “This drug, referred to as ‘Y,’ takes effect very quickly, within ten minutes. Both n and won under its influence beco uncontrollable, driven by insatiable desires until they’re satisfied. If the issue isn’t resolved during the drug’s effects, the person experiences excruciating pain and could die if it continues.”
Gu Qingcheng’s pupils dilated as she couldn’t believe that Huo Sicheng had been subjected to such a drug.
Huo Sicheng hadn’t told her everything and had left in a hurry, fearing he’d lose control in her presence.
Until now, she wasn’t sure if he could be humane, but regardless, the effects of this drug were enough to make him suffer.
She couldn’t imagine how much pain Huo Sicheng had endured when he left her.
In an instant, her heart surged with boundless anger, and her eyes turned scarlet.
“When I took the helicopter to the Gu family to pick up President Huo, Gu i was with him, ” Chu Yu continued, sensing Gu Qingcheng’s anger and speaking carefully. “But don’t worry, Madam, no woman other than you can touch President Huo. When Gu i tried to embrace him, he pushed her away.”
“No, no, no, sothing’s wrong…” She realized that she’d only heard Chu Yu ntion Gu i, not the hint that Chu Yu had unintentionally revealed.
That’s right, it had to be Gu i.
Gu Tianhao wouldn’t do such a thing. He still had plans to discuss the energy business with Huo Sicheng, and he wouldn’t want him to leave the Gu family abruptly.
Chu He wouldn’t do such a thing either. She depended on Gu Tianhao for her livelihood, and provoking him would only make her life harder.
Only Gu i!
In the dining room, Gu i had thrown plates and flirted with Huo Sicheng just to get his attention. Especially when Gu i referred to him as her brother-in-law, it made her skin crawl and her stomach turn.
She knew that Gu i was replaying the sa tactics she had used to seduce Qin Jun in her previous life to steal her husband. Gu i couldn’t stand seeing her being loved, especially by a man.
Unfortunately for Gu i, Huo Sicheng wasn’t Qin Jun. No matter how much she tried to seduce him, his heart belonged to Gu Qingcheng.
She dared to seduce her husband, Huo Sicheng!
Well, two could play at that ga!
“Take to the garage,” she said after taking a step, realizing she needed to stay by Huo Sicheng’s side. After hesitating for a mont, she added, “Soone will deliver a package later. When it arrives, bring it to . Also, don’t ntion that I asked about this to Huo Sicheng.”
Chu Yu replied, “Yes, Madam.”
Gu Qingcheng opened the door but turned back to Chu Yu, who was about to leave. “Chu Yu, thank you.”
Chu Yu was taken aback by her words, and his legs went weak. He looked at Gu Qingcheng in shock, but she had disappeared.
It was the first ti in his life that Gu Qingcheng had thanked him, and it left him feeling uneasy.
He collected himself and left the room.
anwhile, Gu Qingcheng returned to her room and took out her phone. A vicious look filled her eyes, and after a mont of hesitation, she opened her contacts and sent a ssage.
Then, she walked to the bed and lay down beside Huo Sicheng. She stared at his eyebrows, eyes, high nose bridge, and thin lips without blinking. She etched his appearance into her heart and soul.
Huo Sicheng slowly woke up in the evening. When he opened his eyes and saw Gu Qingcheng by his side, his heart ward, and his eyes were tender.
He planted a kiss on her lips and quietly watched her sleep.
“Hubby, ” her voice was hoarse and gentle as she called out, “When did you wake up? Why didn’t you wake up?”
“I just woke up,” Huo Sicheng replied. “You’re weak; you should sleep more.”
Gu Qingcheng leaned forward and kissed Huo Sicheng on the lips. She got up and prepared to leave the bed.
Huo Sicheng wrapped his arm around her waist. “Where are you going?”
Gu Qingcheng heard the husky, soft, and alluring tone in Huo Sicheng’s voice, making her heart itch and tremble.
“I’ll get the doctor to check on you, and then I’ll cook for you.”
“No,” Huo Sicheng tightened his grip on Gu Qingcheng. “Don’t go. Stay with .”
Gu Qingcheng’s breath caught, and her heart ached.
She could sense the fear in Huo Sicheng’s voice.
Was he afraid that she would leave him?
She turned around and looked at Huo Sicheng. Their eyes t, and she said,
“Hubby, I won’t leave you. Trust .”
Huo Sicheng gazed deeply into Gu Qingcheng’s eyes, seeing the sincerity and passion within. It was even more passionate and fervent than the night she had proposed to him.
He slowly loosened his grip on her waist and said softly, “I believe you.”
Gu Qingcheng lowered her head and gave Huo Sicheng a quick kiss. She looked into his eyes and said, “Hubby, I have sothing serious to tell you.”
“What is it?” Huo Sicheng asked..
