Earlier, Gu Qingcheng had said that her back hurt, and Huo Sicheng had gently massaged her waist with his big hands.
“Whether Mr. Zhao takes a break or not has nothing to do with you going to sleep.”
Gu Qingcheng wasn’t happy. “I just woke up, and you’re going back to sleep? No, I can’t sleep.”
“Can’t sleep?” Huo Sicheng led Gu Qingcheng toward the door. “I’ll walk with you.”
“Take a walk? I’m taking a walk in a wheelchair.” Gu Qingcheng snorted. “And I’m warning you, don’t take me to the sea of flowers. I won’t let you take any medicine, and there won’t be any flowers in the house in the future.”
Huo Sicheng heard Gu Qingcheng’s words, and there was a tinge of pity in his eyes.
Ever since Huo Xuan had used his little scheme to let Gu Qingcheng know that he was allergic to pollen, she had thrown away all the lilies of the valley in her bedroom. She couldn’t even find a single one at home.
He knew that she was doing this for him, but he could not bear for her to do so for him.
She liked lilies and lilies, almost obsessively.
So every day, he would send someone to cut the freshest flowers and place them in the vase in the bedroom, in the living room, and even in all parts of the villa, just for her to smile when she saw them. “We’re just taking a walk,” he replied softly.
“Okay,” Gu Qingcheng replied.
Along the way, the two of them did not speak. They were silent but sweet and happy.
Before she went to bed, Gu Qingcheng remembered that Huo Sicheng hadn’t answered Mr. Zhao’s question.
However, she no longer asked Huo Sicheng about it. When he took her for a walk, she thought about how Mr. Zhao would avoid answering her every time she asked him.
She had already guessed the answer that Huo Sicheng had been avoiding.
“Honey, give me your phone.”
Huo Sicheng handed the phone to Gu Qingcheng without hesitation.
Gu Qingcheng picked up her phone and clicked on the news. After looking at the trending searches, a cold glint flashed across her eyes. “Hubby, are you afraid that I’ll look through your phone book?”
Huo Sicheng said, “I can look through my phone.”
Gu Qingcheng chuckled. “You’re not nervous. I know there’s nothing on your phone worth checking.”
Then, she closed the news page and tapped on the WeChat app.
Huo Sicheng hurriedly put his phone away.
“What are you doing?”
“I deleted WeChat.” Gu Qingcheng replied, “You never replied to me when I sent you messages on WeChat anyway. What’s the point of keeping the app? I’d delete it to save your phone’s memory.”
“I was wrong. Don’t be angry.” Huo Sicheng kissed Gu Qingcheng’s forehead and comforted her gently. “I’ll definitely reply to your WeChat messages in the future.”
“What if they quarrel?” Gu Qingcheng snorted proudly. “You still haven’t replied to my messages.”
“Even if we quarrel,” Huo Sicheng said seriously. “I won’t ignore you.”
“Tsk, I don’t believe you. You’re a bad old man.” Gu Qingcheng didn’t believe Huo Sicheng at all. Thinking back to how annoying he was when he was mute, she said angrily, “Every time we quarrel, you become mute! Let me tell you, I haven’t forgotten about cutting off your tongue.”
“First of all, I’m not an old man. Second, I admit that it’s my problem that I became mute. Third…” Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng rubbed their ears together, and his voice was low and apologetic. “Don’t cut off my tongue. I’m saving it to kiss you.”
Hearing Huo Sicheng’s words, Gu Qingcheng thought for a moment, and her anger toward him vanished. Instead, she blushed.
“It’s very late. Don’t tease me.” She hid her head in his arms. “Sleep.”
Huo Sicheng chuckled. He looked at Gu Qingcheng in his arms, and he had a reaction.
He restrained himself and said softly, “Sleep.”
“Alright.” Gu Qingcheng’s voice was soft and gentle. “Good night, honey.”
Huo Sicheng’s soft kisses landed on Gu Qingcheng’s black hair, his long fingers twirling around her long hair. His voice was as soft as water and filled with tenderness. “Good night.”
The next day.
After Gu Qingcheng woke up, her body was in even more pain than yesterday. She didn’t tell her husband Huo Sicheng about it, in case he was even more anxious than she was.
In the dining room, Gu Qingcheng asked the servants and found out that her son, Huo Xuan, had finished his meal and gone to class.
She sat down and had breakfast with Huo Sicheng. After they were done, she would go out and ask Lu Chi for her phone back.
At that moment, a male servant approached Gu Qingcheng respectfully. “Madam, your parcel.”
Gu Qingcheng opened the package and saw that her phone and handbag were both inside.
“Lu Chi finally sent my phone over.”
Huo Sicheng’s eyes flashed when he heard Lu Chi’s name.
“Hubby, you know Lu Chi.” Gu Qingcheng realized that her phone had run out of battery and was turned off. As she went to charge it, she said to him, “You knew him when I was boxing.”
Huo Sicheng’s eyes were complicated. “Lu Chi told you?”
“I’ll send you money.” Huo Sicheng took a sip of water and said, “The odds of winning are very high. I bet on you losing. If you win, you will get a very high prize.”
Gu Qingcheng was speechless.
She recalled the boxing matches back then. The first few times, she received very little money, but later on, she received more and more bonuses.
At that time, she knew that there were many rich people who pursued excitement and liked to watch people fight. When they got a lot of money, she would tell Lu Chi that the person who bet was really rich.
Lu Chi said that there would always be a sucker who would bet on her to lose. She did not ask Lu Chi which sucker he was since her body was hurting.
She thought of what Lu Chi had said to her the night before and what Huo Sicheng was saying now. So he was the one who always bet on her to lose.
And his actions were no different from giving her money.
Back then, she used boxing to pay for her tuition fees, pay for her boxing practice, and support herself.
However, she and Huo Sicheng had been enemies back then. She would never accept money from Huo Sicheng and would even think that he knew she was using money to insult her.
Now that she thought about it, other than Qin Jun saying that Huo Sicheng had dug out her kidney for her before she died, he had always been protecting her silently. He even used her boxing to raise her for many years.
Her heart was beating wildly. She was moved by Huo Sicheng’s protection and felt guilty for letting him down and insulting him.
Huo Sicheng realized that he had said something he shouldn’t have when he saw Gu Qingcheng’s expression change.
“Qingcheng, we’ve come to an agreement. Everything that happened in the past is in the past.” His thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was soft and gentle. He stared at her with his gentle eyes. “Don’t think about the past. The most important thing is our future.”
Gu Qingcheng knew that Huo Sicheng didn’t want her to blame herself, and she didn’t want him to be put in a difficult position, so she kept her expression to herself.
She smiled at him with her chin in her hand and said meaningfully, “Honey, I found something.”
Seeing that Gu Qingcheng was no longer bothered by the past, Huo Sicheng heaved a sigh of relief.. He asked her again, “What is it?”
