Huo Sicheng nodded.
“Yeah.”
Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng, her expression turning tender and emotional.
“How come I’ve never seen you like this before?”
Huo Sicheng chuckled deeply, “If I let you see, with your temperament, you’d dare to jump off the stage and beat me up.”
Gu Qingcheng pouted, “Seems like I’m quite violent.”
“Not violent.” Huo Sicheng gently pinched Gu Qingcheng’s chin and kissed her lips, “I like every side of you.”
Gu Qingcheng was taken aback for a moment and then laughed.
“I added a little honey to the porridge today. That must be why you’re speaking so sweetly.”
Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng with adoration.
“Do you like it?”
“Yes, I like it.” Gu Qingcheng nodded happily, “Say sweet things more often, I love hearing them.”
Huo Sicheng: “Okay.”
“Qingcheng, I…” Li Jing’s voice interrupted, breaking the warm and sweet atmosphere in the office.
But her voice stopped abruptly as she was stunned to see Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng together.
“Uh…” She hesitated awkwardly, then quickly composed herself and politely greeted Huo Sicheng, “Good morning, President Huo.”
Huo Sicheng nodded slightly.
Gu Qingcheng stood up, no longer being sweet with Huo Sicheng, and turned to
Li Jing, “I’ve finished breakfast. We can set off now.”
“I came to tell you just that,” Li Jing said, her eyes filled with complexity, “But there’s something else, you see…”
Gu Qingcheng glanced at Huo Sicheng, then softly said to Li Jing, “It’s okay, my husband is not an outsider. You can speak openly.”
Li Jing looked surprised.
In her memory, ever since Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng got married, they had always been at odds. Whenever she saw them together, they were always arguing.
It was rare for Gu Qingcheng to call Huo Sicheng ‘husband’ in front of her.
Today, not only did Gu Qingcheng call Huo Sicheng ‘husband’ in her presence, but she also let Huo Sicheng know about the school matters.
It seemed that Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng’s marital relationship had become harmonious and inseparable.
“Ziyu’s mother is here,” Li Jing hinted, “Ziyu’s mother has been domestically abused again, her face bruised and swollen. Ziyu is in a fury, and no one can calm her down, so I came to find you.”
Gu Qingcheng frowned, “Ziyu’s mother really knows how to pick her moments. Today is the Peach Lotus Cup finals, and Ziyu is a contestant. Her mother bringing negative emotions like this is clearly sabotaging Ziyu’s chances in the competition.”
“You should go,” Li Jing suggested, looking at Gu Qingcheng, “Ziyu listens to you the most.”
Thinking of Ziyu’s mother, Gu Qingcheng’s expression darkened, but it softened when she looked at Huo Sicheng.
“Husband, I need to attend to my matters first.” She softly told Huo Sicheng, “You finish your meal and attend to your work. No need to wait for me. I’ll go straight to the Peach Lotus Cup venue after I’m done and won’t be coming back. ”
“I’ll be at the Peach Lotus Cup waiting for you,” Huo Sicheng said, his eyes filled with tenderness, adding, “I’ll wait for you at our usual spot.”
Gu Qingcheng smiled faintly, “You, with your personal interests.”
Huo Sicheng understood her remark, “When rebuilding, I did intentionally leave a small room. Indeed, it was my selfish desire.”
Gu Qingcheng approached Huo Sicheng, leaned over, and kissed him on the lips.
“I’m off to be busy.”
Huo Sicheng: “Okay.”
He watched Gu Qingcheng and Li Jing leave, his eyes filled with reluctance. Just then, his phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw a call from Chu Yu.
He answered, “Speak.”
On the other end, Chu Yu said, “President Huo, about the Gu Corporation…”
Huo Sicheng interrupted Chu Yu, “Today is the Peach Lotus Cup finals. I’ll be at the venue. Don’t disturb me with other matters.”
Chu Yu: “Yes, President Huo.”
Huo Sicheng hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and then made another call.
“Take the young master to the Peach Lotus Cup.”
After speaking, he hung up and left Gu Qingcheng’s office.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingcheng and Li Jing hurried towards Li Jing’s vice-principal office.
“Your conflict with President Huo lasted so long, and now that you’ve reconciled, it’s really sweet,” Li Jing said softly.
Gu Qingcheng slowed her hurried steps and turned to look at Li Jing beside her.
Thinking of Huo Sicheng, her heart warmed, and she said softly, “He’s been very good lately.”
Seeing Gu Qingcheng’s eyes filled with happiness and shyness, Li Jing smiled.
“President Huo is like a quail in front of you. You say ‘east,’ and he wouldn’t dare go ‘west,”‘ she chuckled, “It’s nice. You and your husband are affectionate. It means you’ve adjusted well to each other, and your relationship will only grow deeper. ”
Gu Qingcheng chuckled lightly, “Let’s not talk about him and me for now. The most important thing right now is Ziyu. We can’t afford to lose in the Peach
Lotus Cup.”
Hearing this, Li Jing’s gaze deepened.
“After your accident at the last Peach Lotus Cup, you predicted where Ziyu would be and also the new venue for the Peach Lotus Cup. You must also know the outcome of the competition, right?”
Gu Qingcheng paused, her expression becoming more complex.
Of course, she knew the outcome of the Peach Lotus Cup finals, as she remembered everything from her past life and was reliving it. Although the timeline had been disrupted, the outcome was unaffected.
“Last time, I just made a wild guess,” she smiled at Li Jing, “How could I know the outcome of the competition? Anyway, I haven’t bribed any other judges or teachers, and as you know, I wouldn’t do such a thing. Besides, the Peach Lotus Cup can’t be bribed. Who the champion is, we’ll all know by this afternoon at one o’clock.”
Li Jing nodded, “You’re right. I was overthinking it.”
Gu Qingcheng casually asked, “Overthinking that I know the result of the Peach Lotus Cup?”
“Yes,” Li Jing smiled, “You put a lot of emphasis on Ziyu, and then she made it from the preliminaries to the finals. I felt you knew who the champion would be, so I asked.”
Gu Qingcheng shook her head, “I don’t know.”
She couldn’t tell Li Jing the truth and dared not.
Li Jing changed the topic, “Ziyu’s not in a good mood today. When you go there, don’t be too harsh. Pacify Ziyu, and then I’ll find an opportunity to take her mother away. We absolutely cannot let her mother affect Ziyu’s mood in the competition.”
Gu Qingcheng: “Okay.”
In the vice-principal’s office, Ziyu knelt in front of her mother, her eyes red from crying.
“Mom, I’m begging you, please divorce him,” she pleaded with her mother. “Why do you have to endure this abuse? That man broke your nose. Look at your face, it’s so swollen. Why do you have to make it difficult for your daughter?
“I’m not making it difficult for you,” her mother cried, her voice hoarse. “Your father wants you to come home and live with us. I came here especially to ask you. Please come home with me, your father misses you.
“He’s not my father; he’s just my stepfather,” Ziyu cried. “I know him too well.
He wants me to come home only because I’m competing in the Peach Lotus Cup. If I win, there will be a substantial endorsement fee and prize money. He’s after my money, not me.”
She cried bitterly, asking her mother, “Mom, do you want me to be stripped naked and locked in the attic, then forced to be a hostess and accompany old men who could be my grandfathers?”
