Huo Sicheng reached out and gently pulled Gu Qingcheng into his arms. “There are so many questions. I need to think about which one to answer first.” Gu Qingcheng slumped weakly in Huo Sicheng’s arms, her nose filled with his unique scent.
Perhaps it was because she saw her son, Huo Xuanping, appear safe and sound in front of her that her tensed heart relaxed. She felt as if her entire body had been run over by a car, and she was in endless pain.
Huo Sicheng was just about to tell Gu Qingcheng all his questions when he saw her pale face and trembling uncontrollably.
“Go for a full body checkup.”
“No need.” Gu Qingcheng refused. “It’s just that my body hurts.”
“Rejection is invalid.” Huo Sicheng took Gu Qingcheng to the room where she had her body checked.
The doctor gave Gu Qingcheng a full body check-up. Huo Sicheng only relaxed when he heard from the doctor that there was nothing wrong with her.
“I want to take a bath.” Gu Qingcheng lay weakly in Huo Sicheng’s arms. “You can answer all my questions after I’m done showering and you lie down in bed with me.”
“Alright.”
After taking a shower, Gu Qingcheng walked out of the bathroom and saw Huo Sicheng in his pajamas.
On the bed, she lay in Huo Sicheng’s arms and closed her eyes weakly.
“Let’s start with how you found your son.” His voice was hoarse and full of tiredness.
Huo Sicheng twirled his slender fingers around Gu Qingcheng’s long, black hair and planted a few kisses on it.
“Ever since Huo Xuan started studying outside, someone has been protecting him.” He told her gently, “Think about it. Uncle Zhao and Ah Qing usually send Huo Xuan to school. One of them is the butler and the other is my personal driver. If someone were to target Huo Xuan, she would definitely be exposed.”
Gu Qingcheng frowned and opened her eyes. She raised her head and glared at Huo Sicheng.
“Didn’t you say that you didn’t send anyone to protect Xuan’er? You damn liar.” Huo Sicheng lowered his head and kissed Gu Qingcheng on the lips.
Gu Qingcheng turned her head and snorted. “The people you sent to protect Xuan’er are just going to watch him get kidnapped? Not even going to save him? Also, when Huo Xuan was kidnapped, I happened to pick him up from school. I was there too. At that time, my phone was still with me, but you didn’t call me at all.”
Huo Sicheng’s phoenix eyes were filled with tenderness as he planted a gentle kiss on Gu Qingcheng’s forehead.
“Huo Xuan has been safe and sound for so many years. No one kidnapped him. When the people protecting him saw you appear and knew that you went to pick up his son from school, they let their guard down.”
“As for why I didn’t call you, it was my mistake. Coincidentally, I left my phone in the office room after I changed my clothes. After that, I was in a meeting until I got my phone again and saw your missed call…”
His voice trailed off, and a dark, complicated look of apology flashed across his eyes. It was obvious that he had been hiding many things from Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng was tired and sleepy, so she didn’t think much about what Huo Sicheng had said. She didn’t hear the bitterness and sadness in his last words, and she didn’t know that she hadn’t been in a car accident when Huo Sicheng realized that she hadn’t picked up the call.
She yawned and closed her eyes tiredly. “Continue.”
“There’s nothing much to say. The person protecting my son informed me about this. I rushed over to save my son as soon as possible.”
Gu Qingcheng opened her eyes again and frowned. “There were four dead bodies at the scene of the kidnapping, including the one who attacked the Lu family. You’re the one, aren’t you?”
“It’s me.”
“Why?” Gu Qingcheng asked Huo Sicheng, “I can understand why you saved our son, but why did you do this to the Lu family?”
Huo Sicheng’s phoenix eyes flashed. “Because the people who appeared at the scene were from the Lu family.”
Gu Qingcheng immediately understood what Huo Sicheng meant. She explained, “The people at the scene are indeed from the Lu family, but the assassin who kidnapped our son was not sent by the Lu family. I’m sure that the Lu familv didn’t send someone to kidnap our son. Don’t touch the Lu family.”
Huo Sicheng’s eyes darkened. “Okay, I promise you.”
Gu Qingcheng heaved a sigh of relief. Huo Sicheng was targeting Lu Chi, and he definitely had the ability to destroy the Lu family. She didn’t want Huo Sicheng and Lu Chi to become rivals.
It was not for Lu Chi, but for Huo Sicheng.
The Lu family was a family. If Lu Chizhen and Huo Sicheng really got into a bad relationship, her husband would be in danger. She would never allow that to happen.
Even if she knew that Huo Sicheng had the ability to touch the Lu family, she wouldn’t be hurt. However, it was easy to block an open spear, but difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark. She couldn’t let her husband be in danger.
Even if her husband was a mute who deserved a beating, she was the only one who could bully him. Lu Chi was not qualified.
“Did you ask?” She asked Huo Sicheng, “You saved Huo Xuan yourself. Didn’t you interrogate the killer?”
“When I went there, the killer had already committed suicide.”
Gu Qingcheng wasn’t surprised. The killer in the Peach Lotus Cup incident had committed suicide, and so had the killer who had kidnapped her son. The killers were all men of sacrifice.
Moreover, when Lu Chi found out about the killer, he had told her that the killer who kidnapped her son was a death warrior. If her son died, the killer would die. There would not be any traces left behind.
In this world, only the dead could keep secrets.
“My son has been exposed and is no longer suitable to study in this school.” Her voice was low and hoarse. “Unless we find out who kidnapped our son, we can’t send him to school. That’s why our son has been studying at home recently.
Only then can I be at ease.”
“Alright,” Huo Sicheng said.
“I can’t.” Gu Qingcheng still had a lot of questions, but she couldn’t resist the fatigue. “I’m so sleepy that my head is spinning.”
‘ Go to sleep,” Huo Sicheng comforted Gu Qingcheng gently.”
Gu Qingcheng fell asleep in Huo Sicheng’s arms.
Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng in his arms with a complicated look in his eyes.
He seemed to be afraid of losing Gu Qingcheng, and he couldn’t help but tighten his arms around her. He couldn’t fall asleep as he watched her sleeping peacefully.
When Gu Qingcheng woke up, it was already evening, and the dim night light in the room was giving off an orange glow.
She felt the arms around her waist tighten. She knew that Huo Sicheng had not left her, and her heart was warm.
She looked up and saw Huo Sicheng’s star-like eyes. She held her breath and felt her heart beating fast.
“Hubby, you’re awake.”
Huo Sicheng kissed Gu Qingcheng on the lips. “Yes, you’re awake.”
“Why didn’t you wake me up?” Gu Qingcheng kissed Huo Sicheng’s chin and leaned into his arms like a lazy cat. “I’m so happy to see my husband the first time I wake up every day. I’m even happier when my husband sleeps with me.”
Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng in his arms and felt his body heat up. His Adam’s apple bobbed, and he said in a low, hoarse voice, “Is it really that blissful?”
“Yes.” Gu Qingcheng smiled sweetly and said, “You’re really that happy. Don’t you think so, hubby?”
Huo Sicheng’s lips curled into a smile as he kissed Gu Qingcheng. “As long as you stay by my side, every second of every day will be happy.”
“I’ve always been by your side, okay? I’ve even slept with you every day.” Gu Qingcheng felt Huo Sicheng’s gentleness with a tsundere and gentle expression. “I’ve never left you,” she added.
Huo Sicheng looked very satisfied at Gu Qingcheng’s words.
“Eh.” Suddenly, Gu Qingcheng exclaimed in surprise. “By the way, I just remembered that you said that the people protecting your son, Huo Xuan, informed you that your son had been kidnapped. What about Uncle Zhao?I specifically asked Uncle Zhao to call you to tell you about this.. Didn’t he tell you about Xuan’er’s kidnapping?”
