Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Ah…” Gu Qingcheng was taken aback. She asked Huo Sicheng in confusion, “I’m leaving? Where am I going?”
Huo Sicheng was speechless.
“What about me?” Gu Qingcheng walked up to Huo Sicheng and lowered her head to kiss him on the lips. “Good morning, hubby.”
The bitterness in Huo Sicheng’s heart was instantly replaced by happiness. He felt the warmth that Gu Qingcheng had given him.
“Good morning.” Her voice was as gentle as water.
“You haven’t answered me.” Gu Qingcheng blinked. “What were you daydreaming about? Why did you say I left?”
Huo Sicheng held Gu Qingcheng’s hand and said softly, “I thought you ran away again while I was asleep.”
“Again? When you hit my butt last time, I didn’t run away. I left openly.” Gu Qingcheng smiled and asked Huo Sicheng, “Why did I run away this time?” Huo Sicheng’s lips twitched, but he didn’t say anything.
Gu Qingcheng didn’t press the issue, seeing that Huo Sicheng didn’t want to talk about it.
“When I woke up, you were in a deep sleep, so I went to the kitchen to make breakfast.” She took the initiative to explain, “Since you’re awake, let’s go eat, okay, hubby?”
In the past, Huo Sicheng had always corrected Gu Qingcheng to call him
‘hubby’ instead of his name. But these two days, it was like a dream. Gu
Qingcheng didn’t need him to correct her, and she just called him ‘hubby.’
He was overjoyed and replied softly, “Okay.”
A few appetizers, a light and nutritious breakfast, simple and exquisite. After Gu Qingcheng finished eating, she turned on her cell phone, which had been out of battery for days.
Chu He, Qi Shaoze, Li Jing, and the others had missed a bunch of calls. They were all scrolling through her phone with text messages.
“Hubby.”
“Yes.”
“Give me your phone,” Gu Qingcheng said to Huo Sicheng.”
Huo Sicheng unlocked his phone and handed it to Gu Qingcheng without hesitation.
Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng’s phone, then at the one he had given her. She raised an eyebrow and said, “We have couple phones.”
Huo Sicheng nodded.
That’s right, the phone that he had custom-made for Qingcheng was similar to his.
“Looks like you don’t have any secrets.” Gu Qingcheng grinned and winked at Huo Sicheng playfully. “A man with a secret wouldn’t give his phone to his wife so casually. Otherwise, he’d be investigated and beaten up.”
Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng with his watery eyes. “I have no secrets from you.”
Gu Qingcheng smiled.
She took Huo Sicheng’s phone and looked at it. Sure enough, he didn’t have WeChat, so they added each other as friends.
“It’s done.” She handed the phone to Huo Sicheng. “Honey, when are we going back to Jiang City? I have a lot of things to do.”
Huo Sicheng took the phone and saw the WeChat message on it. He opened it and felt a sweetness in his heart.
She was the only one in his WeChat. Her WeChat profile picture was a pair of slender hands holding a bouquet of lily of the valley. This was his hand.
His WeChat profile picture was a lily of the valley beside her long black hair. This was half of her face.
He knew that these two pictures were from the night he took her to the sea of lilies, but he didn’t know when she took them.
The name she had chosen on the internet was simple and heartwarming. She was the wife and he was the husband.
“We can go back to Jiang City now.”
“If you call me in the future and I’m too busy to pick up, just send me a WeChat message.” Gu Qingcheng wrapped her arms around Huo Sicheng’s neck and said coquettishly, “If you have something you’re embarrassed to say in front of me, it’s best if you send it to me on WeChat.”
Huo Sicheng instantly understood what Gu Qingcheng was thinking. He would not let her thoughts go to waste. He replied, “Alright.”
“Let’s go.” Gu Qingcheng kissed Huo Sicheng. “Let’s go home.”
Huo Sicheng was infected by Gu Qingcheng’s happiness, and he smiled.
“Alright, let’s go home.”
Her heart was closer to him now, and he liked it.
Gu Qingcheng called Li Jing along the way. She wasn’t surprised to hear that the Peach Lotus Cup would be restarted as she had said.
Qi Shaoze was still calling and texting her, asking where she had gone. How was she feeling? He wanted to ask her out for dinner.
She ignored Qi Shaoze and sent a message to Chu He on the plane back to Jiang City to have lunch at the Gu residence tomorrow.
Then, she took a new computer and sat in Huo Sicheng’s arms, looking at the USB drive.
He was her husband.
She didn’t even allow Qi Shaoze to read the contents of the USB drive, so there was no need for her to avoid Huo Sicheng.
He protected her with his life, and she was willing to share the contents of the USB drive with him.
Perhaps she had missed something, and he had seen something, so she could remind him.
Gu Qingcheng was reading the contents of the USB while Huo Sicheng was looking at her.
“You don’t have to waste time looking at the USB drive.” He loosened his grip on Gu Qingcheng’s body, and his slender fingers quickly tapped on his laptop. He then handed it to Gu Qingcheng. “These are the people you’re looking for.”
As soon as Gu Qingcheng saw Huo Sicheng’s laptop, she recalled the scene of them arguing, and her heart ached.
She quickly took a deep breath to calm herself down and focused on the three photos that appeared on Huo Sicheng’s computer screen.
This photo shocked her because the man in the photo was Teacher Zhang, the dance teacher who taught Dunhuang dance in Imperial Arts. He had met with the Gu family’s butler in private.
Therefore, there was a mole around her who sold out all the information about what happened in Royal Dance. No wonder all the businesses that invested in the Peach Lotus Cup had withdrawn their investments. Teacher Zhang had sold out the information.
What was more, the higher-ups of the Peach Lotus Cup and Qin Jun were hugging female hosts on both sides, and there were stacks of cash on the table.
The last photo was of the chief examiner of the Peach Lotus Cup holding a device on the glass.
“This is a vibration device.” Huo Sicheng explained to Gu Qingcheng. “It’s a high-end weapon only used by the military. It can remotely control the location of the explosion. The glass above your head looks the same as the surroundings, but in fact, it has been tampered with.
“The woman who wanted to kill you with a knife was a mercenary who committed suicide after being controlled by Chu Yu. However, I still managed to find this information. The person who hurt you was Chu He. However, she didn’t just hurt you. She wanted you dead.
“I already guessed that the murderer was Chu He.” Gu Qingcheng’s eyes were filled with malice. “But I didn’t have any evidence, and I didn’t expect Chu He to kill me instead of keeping me alive. It seems that Gu Tianhao was also kept in the dark. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let me die. After all, he still wants Grandfather’s inheritance.’
Huo Sicheng’s eyes lit up with anger when he heard what Gu Qingcheng had to say.
“So you clearly knew that something would happen to the Peach Lotus Cup, but you still specially came to participate in the Peach Lotus Cup. Do you want to die so badly?”
Gu Qingcheng was speechless.
She turned to look at the angry Huo Sicheng and quickly comforted him, “Hubby, I…”
“It’s important to find out the evidence, but your life is the most important.” Huo Sicheng’s handsome face was cold. “You’re playing with your life!” he scolded. “Can’t you let me investigate what you want to investigate?” Gu Qingcheng comforted Huo Sicheng, “Hubby, don’t be angry. I…”
“Gu Qingcheng, from the moment we got married, your life is mine! I’m telling you,” Huo Sicheng warned Gu Qingcheng angrily. “Do you want to die again?” I won’t collect your corpse anymore! You can’t die!
Gu Qingcheng stared at Huo Sicheng in shock.
Die again?
What did Huo Sicheng mean?
He wouldn’t know that she was reborn, would he?
Also, what did he mean by he wouldn’t collect her corpse?
What corpse?
“Hubby, you…”
“What about me?” Huo Sicheng asked Gu Qingcheng angrily..”
