In close proximity, Huo Sicheng watched as Gu Qingcheng’s captivating radiance shifted, causing his breath to catch momentarily.
He found himself defenseless against her charm.
Not to mention when she playfully coaxed him with her tender and sweet voice, causing his heart to skip a beat.
Only God knew.
Just how irresistible she was at this moment.
“Agree to one thing for me.”
Gu Qingcheng blinked her eyes in anticipation, waiting for Huo Sicheng’s response. However, instead of answering her, he unexpectedly said something else, catching her off guard.
She asked him, “What is it?”
“In the future, only be coquettish with me,” Huo Sicheng said seriously, his tone dominant and not open for disagreement, “Don’t be coquettish with anyone other than me.”
Gu Qingcheng gazed at Huo Sicheng in astonishment.
If he had displayed such dominance towards her on a normal day, she would have scolded him without hesitation.
But her feelings towards him had changed, and furthermore, she could tell that he was jealous. “Alright. I promise.”
She agreed.
After all, in her entire life, she had only been coquettish with him, Huo Sicheng.
Upon hearing Gu Qingcheng’s affirmative response, a sense of joy surged in Huo Sicheng’s heart.
“I don’t agree.”
Gu Qingcheng hadn’t expected that she would be so coquettish with Huo Sicheng and even agree to his request, only to have him reject her decision, leaving her quite displeased.
“You’re so unfair.”
Her expression turned cold, and her tone was laced with annoyance.
“I agreed to everything you asked, but you rejected me,” she huffed, “So, the thing I agreed to just now doesn’t count.”
Seeing Gu Qingcheng’s displeasure, Huo Sicheng quickly tried to placate her, “Qingcheng, listen to me…”
Interrupting Huo Sicheng with an annoyed tone, Gu Qingcheng said, “I told you not to touch Yuan Qiaolan and the others, but you’ve locked up their whole family. You’ve disrupted my plan, so you have to find a new way to solve this.”
“Of course, I’m not angry with you. I just want to discuss this.” She explained, adding, “Moreover, I’ve made it clear—it’s Chu He and Yuan Qiaolan who tortured me. You intervened, and with your strength, you could have easily left them in pieces.”
“But I don’t want them to die so quickly. I won’t kill them; I’ll only torment their hearts!” Her eyes held a deep-seated hatred, “I want to torture them bit by bit, to witness their crumbling into despair.”
Huo Sicheng gazed at Gu Qingcheng with an inscrutable expression.
In her eyes, he saw unmasked resentment and a burning desire for vengeance, which reminded him of his own experiences.
Because of his parents’ deaths, his thoughts aligned with Gu Qingcheng’s—not to kill, but to torture their hearts.
“Qingcheng, I have something to say about your approach towards Yuan Qiaolan.” He spoke with meaningful intent, “Do you know why you were kidnapped by Chu He and the others this time? It’s because your actions were not thorough, allowing Chu He and Yuan Qiaolan to uncover your identity.”
“Have you considered that if I hadn’t arrived in time to rescue you, you might have been left to die on that cliff? Would you have had a second chance to get close to Yuan Qiaolan and seek revenge on Chu He and the others?”
Gu Qingcheng was momentarily rendered speechless.
Huo Sicheng was right. This time, her approach towards Yuan Qiaolan had been sloppy, leading to suspicions that exposed her true identity.
She was the daughter of Mu Xia. Yuan Qiaolan knew the circumstances of her mother’s death. Once Yuan Qiaolan realized she was Gu Qingcheng, she would undoubtedly grasp her intentions and plans and would likely employ Chu He to eliminate her.
She had only been able to save herself this time due to Yuan Qiaolan’s greed for eight billion.
If the prospect of eight billion hadn’t blinded Yuan Qiaolan, Chu He might have torn her apart.
She had initiated the right moves, but her carelessness had enabled Chu He to catch her.
If she had truly perished, she wasn’t sure if she would be reborn again.
However, she did know that if she died, she would lose the opportunity for revenge.
Ultimately, it was her lack of thoroughness that couldn’t be denied.
“You can do anything, but you mustn’t personally engage, and when you do act, you must leave no trace.” Huo Sicheng continued, “If you’re not certain, don’t act hastily. But once you act, you must ensure victory!”
After expressing these thoughts, he worried he might have spoken too sternly and wounded Gu Qingcheng’s pride.
“Qingcheng, I’m not saying you’re wrong, nor am I trying to teach you. Please don’t be upset.” He adopted a soft, soothing tone: “I’m simply concerned about your safety. If you prefer me not to interfere in your matters, I’ll respect that.
However, I hope that if you need help, you’ll allow me to assist you. You mustn’t handle everything on your own.”
Gu Qingcheng understood the genuine concern in Huo Sicheng’s words.
His anxiety when she was angry touched her heart.
She gently reassured Huo Sicheng, “I don’t get angry that easily.”
Huo Sicheng raised an eyebrow.
He was well aware of her quick temper.
“I’m not upset this time.” Gu Qingcheng saw his expression and quickly clarified, “I agree with what you just said. This time, I fell short against Yuan Qiaolan and Chu He due to my lack of skill. I acknowledge my weaknesses and will exercise more caution in the future.’
“Is that all you took from what I said?” Huo Sicheng sighed in exasperation, “Can’t you also consider the last thing I mentioned? We’re a couple, and a couple functions as a unit. You don’t have to bear everything alone; it’s bound to be exhausting.”
He continued, gently stroking her reddened cheeks.
“Qingcheng, I hope you can lean on me. I want to share all your burdens with you.”
A mixture of emotions flickered through Gu Qingcheng’s eyes.
She wasn’t accustomed to relying on anyone, including Huo Sicheng.
Huo Sicheng could read her hesitation and gently stated, “Life is long, and you should give me a chance to step into your heart.”
Because of Huo Sicheng’s words, ripples of contemplation stirred in Gu Qingcheng’s heart.
Yes.
If she continued to deny him that chance, their relationship wouldn’t progress well within a year, and divorce could become inevitable.
After wrestling with her thoughts for a while, Gu Qingcheng finally said to Huo Sicheng, “Alright.”
Huo Sicheng was taken aback, not expecting Gu Qingcheng to agree.
He had discussed this matter with her numerous times before, and she had always turned him down.
Moreover, Gu Qingcheng was accustomed to her independence and had never relied on anyone due to her family background.
He had been slowly approaching her time and time again, aiming to open her heart and make her accept him.
Her sudden agreement surprised him. He wondered if he was dreaming.
Seeing Huo Sicheng’s reaction, Gu Qingcheng gave a soft smile.
“Bowing to the truth is a happy thing.” She gazed tenderly at Huo Sicheng,
“Holding onto the thigh of CEO Huo is my gain. I won’t let myself down.”
Once Huo Sicheng realized what she meant, affection and joy filled his narrow, phoenix-like eyes.
It turned out he wasn’t dreaming or mistaken.
“You’re being so well-behaved. Shouldn’t I reward you a little?” Gu Qingcheng chuckled, “Oh right, I’m being so good, so you should reward me. What do you want to give me?”
“Wait for me.” After Huo Sicheng walked out of the door, he returned to Gu Qingcheng’s side and handed her a document.
When Gu Qingcheng saw the document Huo Sicheng gave her, she felt a headache coming on.
“You want me to sign again?” She sounded annoyed, “Huo Sicheng, am I spoiling you too much? Are you trying to make me angry again? Let me tell you, I don’t want your Huo Corporation, and I don’t want the energy sector either.”
“No.” Huo Sicheng reassured Gu Qingcheng, “This time, it’s not that.”
Gu Qingcheng was surprised, “Then what is this document?”
