Gu Qingcheng felt utterly powerless in Huo Sicheng’s embrace.
Hearing his words, she coldly huffed, “What business is it of yours what I do at the Qin family!”
“I can’t interfere, nor do I dare to,” Huo Sicheng’s soft kisses landed on Gu Qingcheng’s dark hair. “I’ll accompany you to the Qin family, just to ensure you’re not in danger.”
“Hmph!” Gu Qingcheng snorted. “The biggest danger to is encountering you. I’m safer when you’re far away from .”
Knowing Gu Qingcheng was speaking out of frustration, Huo Sicheng continued to soothe her gently and patiently, “Don’t worry, at the Qin family, I promise to keep my distance and won’t hinder your affairs in any way. Just be at ease.”
“You’re really going to follow to the Qin family?” Gu Qingcheng glared at
Huo Sicheng incredulously. “Wherever I go, there you are. You’re too much!”
Huo Sicheng softly asked, “Then tell why you’re going to the Qin family. If it’s not sothing important, I won’t follow.”
Not wanting Huo Sicheng to follow her to the Qin family but also not wanting to hide it from him, Gu Qingcheng said, “I’m going to see Qin Jun.”
Upon hearing Gu Qingcheng ntion seeking out Qin Jun, Huo Sicheng’s expression darkened, his jealousy evident as he asked, “What do you want with Qin Jun?”
“I have business with him,” Gu Qingcheng replied casually. “Now, let go of .”
Huo Sicheng didn’t release Gu Qingcheng, instead asking softly, “What business do you have with Qin Jun?”
Gu Qingcheng, annoyed with Huo Sicheng, retorted, “What is this? You need to know everything down to the last detail?”
Huo Sicheng explained, “I told you, I care about you and want to know why you’re going to the Qin family. If it’s not sothing serious, I won’t follow you.”
“Pretense,” Gu Qingcheng scoffed at Huo Sicheng. “I know you too well. The mont I ntioned Qin Jun, your face changed. It’s clear you’re jealous. Just admit it, instead of pretending it’s out of concern.”
Huo Sicheng pressed, “You know I’m jealous, so why can’t you just tell why you’re seeing Qin Jun?”
Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng amusedly. “I could tell you about my visit to Qin Jun, but first, you have to answer a question for .”
Huo Sicheng responded, “Ask.”
Gu Qingcheng inquired, “Do you take pride in juggling two relationships?”
Silence fell upon Huo Sicheng as he locked eyes with Gu Qingcheng’s cool gaze and stated firmly, “I am not juggling two relationships. My heart belongs only to you, I…”
“Stop talking, or I’ll vomit,” Gu Qingcheng interrupted, then questioned him further, “Do you like ?”
With sincerity and earnestness, Huo Sicheng answered, “Yes, I like you.”
“Your jealousy proves you like , which doesn’t surprise , but…” Gu Qingcheng challenged him, “Why can’t you be faithful to ? Or do you just enjoy being adored by won?”
“Wronged,” Huo Sicheng hastily explained to Gu Qingcheng, “I’m not unfaithful, I…
Before Huo Sicheng could continue, Gu Qingcheng knew he was about to offer excuses.
She didn’t want to hear his justifications, especially since the situation with Miss Li being pregnant was an undeniable fact she had witnessed herself.
“You being faithful or not, I suddenly don’t want to hear anymore,” she cut him off, adopting a resigned tone, “I’m going to see Qin Jun. Follow if you must.”
Even if she didn’t allow Huo Sicheng to accompany her to the Qin family, he would surely find out why she went to see Qin Jun through his own ans.
With that in mind, she no longer objected. If he wished to follow, so be it.
After all, she had vented all her frustration at him, and he hadn’t left. She simply didn’t have the energy to spend on him anymore.
Seeing that Gu Qingcheng was unwilling to hear another word from him, Huo Sicheng fell silent and followed her to the Qin family.
At the Qin residence, Qin Chong, recuperating at ho, was surprised and wary to hear of Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng’s arrival, hurrying to the front hall.
“Sicheng, Qingcheng, what brings you two here?” He greeted them with a feigned smile, “I just happen to be at ho today; otherwise, you might not have seen .”
Then, turning to Gu Qingcheng with an insinuating tone, he added,
“Qingcheng, your cousin-in-law has been at the hospital caring for your father this whole ti. She’s really fond of you. I talked to her today, and she ntioned feeling unwell, probably from exhaustion. Maybe you should visit the hospital and let her co ho to rest.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for soone to take good care of your father at the hospital. After all, Tian Hao is my best friend, and I hope he recovers soon.” Gu Qingcheng stared calmly at Qin Chong.
Despite Qin Chong seemingly making small talk and ntioning Bai Si caring for Gu Tian Hao at the hospital, she could tell he was already feeling jealous of Bai Si’s attentions towards Gu Tian Hao.
After all, Bai Si, as Qin Chong’s wife, not only stayed away from ho but also resided in the hospital to care for another man’s husband, sothing no man could tolerate.
Especially Qin Chong, a man of narrow mind, must be feeling angry, jealous, and suspicious of Bai Sit s actions.
And she was more than happy to see Qin Chong jealous, hoping Bai Si would focus all her attention on Gu Tian Hao, igniting a jealous conflict among them.
While she had her plans, she didn’t forget the matter at hand.
“Where’s Qin Jun?” she asked Qin Chong, “Have him co here; I need to speak with him.”
Qin Chong had said so much to her, yet she responded with a command for Qin Jun, ignoring Qin Chong’s words entirely.
His face, already wearing a forced smile, showed a hint of stiffness. He despised Gu Qingcheng, both in the past and now.
And it was because of Gu Qingcheng that his woman, Bai Si, was at the hospital caring for Gu Tian Hao.
Every ti he asked Bai Si to co ho, she told him Gu Qingcheng had asked her to care for Gu Tian Hao, claiming she needed to stay for the greater good.
Gu Qingcheng, always Gu Qingcheng!
Whenever anything involved Gu Qingcheng, nothing ever went his way or to his liking!
Suddenly, a piercing, cold gaze fixed on him, making him feel as if a mountain was crushing down on him, making breathing difficult.
He didn’t need to look to know this terrifying gaze ca from Huo Sicheng.
Fury.
He was furious that Huo Sicheng had him by the throat, and he was powerless against him.
And Gu Qingcheng could be so bold and assertive in front of him because Huo Sicheng backed her.
He despised Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng as a couple.
“Ah Jun is at ho,” he managed to keep a smile on his face despite his anger, responding to Gu Qingcheng, “I’ll have soone fetch him.”
Hearing Qin Chong’s words, Gu Qingcheng didn’t speak further, simply waiting for Qin Jun’s arrival.
After instructing a servant to call his son Qin Jun to the front hall, Qin Chong, puzzled, asked, “Qingcheng, what do you need with Ah Jun?”
