Chapter 95: Investigating the Truth

Gu Qingcheng’s body stiffened.
She searched Yuan Qiaolan’s room as fast as she could, but she didn’t expect to be discovered.
“Answer me. Why are you in this room?”
Gu Qingcheng’s brows were tightly knitted together, and her entire body was tense.
She quickly thought of an excuse and turned to look at the person who had come.
“Here, this…”
She pointed at the box on the table.
“I… I’m looking for this…”
As soon as she said that, her face stiffened as she felt something wrong with her body.
It was Yuan Feng. He followed Gu Qingcheng’s gaze, and his face darkened. His voice was gentle. “Is there none in the washroom?”
“I looked for it but couldn’t find it.” Gu Qingcheng remembered that there were only wet napkins and tissues on the table in the bathroom. She told the truth. “This room is the closest, so I came in to look for it. If I delay for too long, blood will flow like a river. I’ll be so embarrassed.
Yuan Feng quickly moved aside. “Hurry up and go.”
Gu Qingcheng took the sanitary pad from the table and went to the bathroom next door.
She wasn’t lying. She really was on her period.
Yuan Feng looked at the closed bathroom door and subconsciously glanced at his mother’s dressing room.
He walked up to Yuan Qiaolan. “Mom, can you go and take a look at the dressing room and see if anything is missing?”
“What are you looking for?” Yuan Qiaolan had a look of shock on her face, but she was also ecstatic as she said, “Ah Feng, Miss Gu is really rich and generous. Look at this dress. It’s a high-end edition. It costs 800,000 yuan. Even your mother can’t bear to buy it. And this perfume, limited edition, 100,000 yuan! Oh my god! She’s really rich. You’re lucky to meet her!”
“Mom, you’ve already received the perfume. Take it to the dressing room and put it there.” Yuan Feng urged Yuan Qiaolan, “I just said, go and see if anything is missing.”
Yuan Feng pushed Yuan Qiaolan into the dressing room.
“Nothing is missing. Everything is here.”
Yuan Feng nodded. “Is your period here yet?”
Yuan Qiaolan was surprised. “Why are you asking this?”
“I was just asking casually.” Yuan Feng smiled.” Are you here?”
“It ended long ago.” Yuan Qiaolan excitedly placed the perfume into the perfume box. “You’re saying all this out of nowhere. Did something happen?”
“I said I was just asking.” Yuan Feng smiled. “Mom, let’s go. We’ll wait for Miss Gu in the dining room.” She had given his mom such an expensive gift. He had to let her eat more tonight.
Yuan Qiaolan grinned. “Of course.”
Gu Qingcheng went to the dining room to greet Yuan Feng. The food on the table whetted her appetite, and she sat down to eat.
Yuan Feng took the opportunity to go to the washroom. When he saw the blood-red tissue in the washroom, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“Drink more chicken soup.” At the dining table, Yuan Feng served Gu
Qingcheng some soup. “Old hen. It’s nourishing.”
Pretending to be shy, Gu Qingcheng replied in a sweet voice, “Okay, thank you, Ah Feng.”
Yuan Feng beamed with joy when he heard her call him Ah Feng. He even deliberately gave his mother, Yuan Qiaolan, a look.
Gu Qingcheng saw all of this, and while she was smiling, she was cursing in her heart.
She had almost found Yuan Qiaolan’s most secret safe.
However, when she saw Yuan Feng and Yuan Qiaolan fawning over her, she heaved a sigh of relief. It was obvious that their nefarious plans had not been discovered.
Yuan Feng followed her closely. She did not have a second chance to enter Yuan Qiaolan’s dressing room. Thus, she had no choice but to leave.
At this moment. Chu He drove a Maserati into the neighborhood.
She cursed under the glaring headlights of the car opposite her. However, when they were about to meet, she turned her head and was stunned.
Was she seeing things?
Why did the woman with the sunglasses look like Gu Qingcheng?
At that moment, Gu Qingcheng’s stomach hurt so much that she didn’t notice
Chu He.
She had wanted to go back to Plum Villa, but when she thought of Huo Sicheng, her heart felt stuffy and uncomfortable, and she could not breathe.
In the end, she chose to return to her home in Yunduan.
Late that night.
Huo Sicheng looked at the time on his wrist. It was already one o’clock in the morning, and Gu Qingcheng hadn’t returned to the villa.
She hated it when he spied on her, but he endured it and did not look at her location for a day.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but turn on the GPS. When he saw that the location was in the clouds, he frowned.
She had only seen Qi Shaoze during the day and did not return to the villa at night.
The thought of Qi Shaoze using Gu Qingcheng to provoke him ignited his anger.
The next moment, he went to the door.
At Yunduan Villa, Huo Sicheng easily cracked the password and entered.
It was dark all around them, and only a faint light could be seen from the crack in Gu Qingcheng’s door.
He twisted the door handle. The door was not locked, so he easily entered the house.
His heart skipped a beat.
Gu Qingcheng was curled up on the bed, her eyes tightly shut. Her face was as pale as a sheet, and she looked like she was in pain.
Huo Sicheng hurried forward and placed his hand on Gu Qingcheng’s forehead.
He frowned. She did not have a high fever.
The touch on her forehead made Gu Qingcheng open her eyes. Huo Sicheng’s handsome face greeted her eyes.
“You f*cking…” Her anger flared up. “You b*stard, are you sick? I just changed the lock on my door! Pay for my lock!”
As soon as said that, she gasped and clutched her stomach in pain.
“I’ll compensate you. I’ll not only compensate you for the lock, but I’ll also compensate you for your house.” Huo Sicheng’s heart ached. He quickly comforted Gu Qingcheng. “Wait for me.”
Gu Qingcheng couldn’t scold Huo Sicheng. Her menstrual cramps were killing her.
Soon, Huo Sicheng came in with a bowl.
“Drink this. It’s brown sugar ginger soup.” He was worried that she would reject him, so he advised her gently, “Don’t get angry if you’re not feeling well. When you’re better, you can make a fuss and hit me as you wish.”
Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng and saw the worry and heartache in his eyes.
For someone like him, who was blessed by the heavens and was physically disabled, to be able to personally cook ginger soup for her, even though she could not guarantee that she would get only one portion, she understood that he had put in a lot of effort.
Besides, she really didn’t have the strength to argue with him.
Huo Sicheng pulled Gu Qingcheng into his arms and gently fed her the drink.
Gu Qingcheng didn’t know if it was the brown sugar ginger soup or Huo Sicheng’s thoughtfulness that warmed her heart, but her stomach pain eased a little.
Huo Sicheng placed Gu Qingcheng on the bed and covered her with a thin blanket.
“Go to sleep. I’ll watch over you.”
Huo Sicheng’s voice was like the gentlest thing in the world, soothing Gu Qingcheng’s uncomfortable body and mind.
She looked at him and saw the concern and worry in his eyes.
After a struggle, she said softly, “You don’t have to guard me. Lie beside me.”
“No.” Huo Sicheng shook his head gently. “I’ll stay by your side. Tell me if you feel uncomfortable.”
“Do you really want me to get mad at you?” Gu Qingcheng frowned and said in a displeased tone, ” I’m not feeling well. Do you want me to repeat myself?” Huo Sicheng was even sadder than Gu Qingcheng when he saw her upset.
“Alright.”
He was lying next to Gu Qingcheng, and seeing her gasp, he asked, “What’s wrong?”
“My stomach hurts…” Gu Qingcheng endured the pain and said. “I’m cold.”
Huo Sicheng placed his hand on Gu Qingcheng’s stomach and immediately felt her body tense up.
“What are you doing?” Gu Qingcheng’s eyes widened. She wanted to push Huo
Sicheng away, but she didn’t have the strength.
“I’ll rub it for you.” Huo Sicheng rubbed Gu Qingcheng’s belly gently.
Gu Qingcheng’s body stiffened as she felt Huo Sicheng’s warm hands and his gentle movements. It did make her feel better.
Feeling Huo Sicheng’s comfort, she felt sleepy. She closed her eyes and could finally sleep.
In her daze, she felt a pair of strong arms pull her into a familiar and reassuring embrace.
She knew that this was Huo Sicheng’s embrace.
It turned out that his embrace gave her such a sense of security.
When she woke up the next morning, Huo Sicheng was no longer by her pillow.
“You’re awake. I made breakfast.” Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng gently. “Do you want to eat?”
Gu Qingcheng stared into Huo Sicheng’s eyes. The tenderness in his eyes was as clear as water, and it moved her heart.
“You made breakfast?” She was shocked. “Tell me honestly.. Did you make it, or did you get a delivery?”
