Huo Xuan: “I told Mom about what happened before with you.”
Huo Sicheng, as if deep in thought, asked, “What happened before?”
Huo Xuan nodded, “Yes, that thing that happened before.”
Huo Sicheng stared intently at Huo Xuan.
After a mont, he asked, “What thing?”
Huo Xuan: ‘
He hadn’t expected his father to be unaware of what he was talking about.
“The thing about you being in a hotel room with another woman abroad.” Huo Sicheng’s normally calm expression instantly froze on his face.
“You…”
“Ti to eat,” Gu Qingcheng’s happy voice rang out, “The dishes are ready, let’s eat.”
Huo Xuan, seeing his father’s changed expression, lowered his head apologetically, then raised it again upon hearing his mother’s voice.
He saw his mother’s gentle eyes looking towards him and his father, easing so of his tension.
His mother had promised him, she wouldn’t beat his father. She just didn’t want to be angry with him or argue with him. He believed his father would forgive him for speaking out of turn.
Huo Sicheng’s words stopped when Gu Qingcheng arrived.
His deep, dark eyes watched Gu Qingcheng, who was all smiles, with a complex emotion in his gaze.
“What are you father and son doing standing there?” Gu Qingcheng put the cold dishes on the table and looked at them, puzzled, “Is there sothing on my face? You both look so stunned.’
She turned and checked her face in the dining room mirror but found nothing on it.
“Mom is the most beautiful,” Huo Xuan said sweetly, “Baby and Dad like looking at Mom the most.”
Gu Qingcheng turned to look at Huo Xuan, seeing his affectionate expression, and happily walked over to hug him.
“My baby has such sweet words, so adorable,” she kissed Huo Xuan’s cheek and looked at Huo Sicheng with a teasing smile, “Our baby has a sweeter mouth than you. You look a bit silly tonight, it seems you’ve been too busy and your brain is short-circuiting.”
Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng, who was smiling brightly at him, and clenched his hand on the armrest, a trace of unease crossing his eyes.
Gu Qingcheng, surprised at Huo Sicheng’s lack of response to her teasing, asked, “Hubby, what’s wrong? Is sothing bothering you?”
Huo Sicheng suddenly ca back to reality and quickly shook his head, approaching Gu Qingcheng.
“I’m fine.’
Gu Qingcheng asked with concern, “You’ve been staring at without any reaction, are you sure you’re alright?”
Huo Sicheng shook his head and gently said, “Let’s eat first, I’m a bit hungry.”
Gu Qingcheng, surprised and then more brightly smiling, said, “This is the first ti I’ve heard you say you’re hungry. Alright, if my hubby is hungry, then let’s eat quickly.”
At the dining table, Gu Qingcheng kept serving food, piling up Huo Sicheng’s bowl like a small mountain.
“Eat, why are you just looking at ?”
Huo Sicheng watched Gu Qingcheng, feeling both cherished and uneasy.
No.
It wasn’t just a feeling of being cherished; there was also uneasiness.
Gu Qingcheng, smiling beautifully and speaking each word with utmost gentleness, made him even more apprehensive. The more she acted like this, the more uneasy he felt.
Every ti he thought about what Huo Xuan had said, he imagined Gu Qingcheng flipping the table and hitting him.
Gu Qingcheng sat next to Huo Sicheng, her peripheral vision catching his subtle changes in expression, and she glanced at the happily eating Huo Xuan.
This dinner was torturous for Huo Sicheng, and he remained tense even after finishing, waiting for Gu Qingcheng’s anger to explode.
“Dad, I didn’t an to tell Mom about the woman abroad,” Huo Xuan hurriedly said while his mother was in the kitchen, “It slipped out, but don’t worry, Dad. Mom has forgiven you, she won’t hit you or be angry with you.”
Huo Sicheng, surprised, asked, “Your mother really said that?”
Huo Xuan nodded, “Yes.”
“Are you sure?” Huo Sicheng asked again, “She won’t be angry with , she won’t hit ?”
“Yes, I’m sure,” Huo Xuan tilted his head, his large eyes staring at his surprised father, “I believe in Mom, so you should believe in her too. If she says she won’t be angry, she won’t be, and she won’t hit you.”
“Hubby…” Gu Qingcheng walked into the dining room, “Go and run a bath for , I want to take a bath after I finish up here.”
Huo Sicheng looked deeply at Gu Qingcheng, “Alright, I’ll go run the bath now.”
“Baby, you haven’t finished your howork, right?” Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Xuan, “Go and do your howork first, then take a bath, and then go to bed?”
Huo Xuan obediently replied, “Okay, I’ll go to my room to do howork now.” Gu Qingcheng didn’t ask the servants for help, and after tidying up the kitchen, she went to the bedroom.
She had just entered when she saw Huo Sicheng, pausing in her steps.
In the room, just the two of them, without their son Huo Xuan present, her emotions weren’t suppressed, and she was overwheld with thoughts, her mind in chaos.
Huo Sicheng watched Gu Qingcheng standing still with a complex expression, feeling the anger emanating from her, as if she was about to strike at any mont.
He broke the silence first: “Qingcheng…”
Gu Qingcheng, hearing Huo Sicheng’s magnetic voice, visibly trembled, her thoughts pulled back to the present.
“I’m here,” she smiled and walked towards Huo Sicheng, “Hubby, what’s wrong?”
Huo Sicheng’s eyes flickered.
Gu Qingcheng didn’t explode in anger or even lay a hand on him.
He rembered Huo Xuan’s words about Gu Qingcheng not being angry or hitting him.
He didn’t believe what Huo Xuan said, thinking Gu Qingcheng’s words were just to calm Huo Xuan.
At least he knew Gu Qingcheng’s character; she wouldn’t tolerate him being in a hotel room with another woman.
But when he was ready for Gu Qingcheng’s outburst, not only did she not get angry, she was still as gentle as usual with him.
His mory flashed back to a few days ago, when Gu Qingcheng gave him the cold shoulder, ignoring his existence, causing him imnse pain.
Before Huo Sicheng could speak, Gu Qingcheng said, “I’m going to take a bath first.
After saying that, she went to the bathroom.
Huo Sicheng’s words were swallowed, and he watched the closed bathroom door, his eyes complex, leaving the bedroom.
Gu Qingcheng lay tiredly in the spacious, comfortable bathtub, closing her eyes. The day’s struggles had exhausted her, and she didn’t want to think about Huo Sicheng and Miss Li’s troubling matters, just wanting to enjoy a comfortable bath.
After washing up, Huo Sicheng was about to return to the bedroom when he saw his son Huo Xuan sneakily standing at the bedroom door.
“What are you sneaking around for?”
Huo Xuan, startled, quickly looked at his father with an obedient expression, relieved to see his father unhard.
“I wasn’t doing anything.”
Huo Sicheng saw the worry for him in Huo Xuan’s eyes and asked, “Are you worried about your mom beating up?”
