Chapter 318: Acting Coquettishly in His Arms
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Chu He heard about Gu Tianhaoās fall from the building, her expression was complex as she looked at the servant.
āTake me there quickly.ā
Gu Tianhao fell from the sixth floor, coughing up blood, unconscious, with a broken arm and two ribs.
In the ambulance, doctors were treating Gu Tianhao. Chu He sat by, watching the barely alive Gu Tianhao, tears and worries all spent.
A thought crossed her mind. if Gu Tianhao died or remained unconscious, she wouldnāt have to divorce him. Their daughter, Gu Mei, wouldnāt have to worry about money for treatment, and she wouldnāt lose everything. āHow is my husband, doctor?ā she asked, āIs he in danger?ā
āMadam, we still donāt know,ā the doctor told Chu He. āThe hospital is doing its best to save Mr. Gu.ā
Chu He didnāt speak again, her clasped hands whitening at the knuckles, betraying her intense emotions.
Just as Gu Qingcheng was dizzyingly busy and about to leave Diyi, her phone rang.
To her surprise, it was a call from Huo Sicheng; he rarely called her.
On the phone, Huo Sichengās voice was gentle. āAre you done?ā
Gu Qingcheng. āJust finished, about to drive.ā
Huo Sicheng. āIām waiting at your door.ā
Surprised, Gu Qingcheng immediately realized Huo Sicheng had come to Diyi.
āNo need to wait outside, drive in. Iām too tired to walk.ā
Huo Sicheng. āOkay.ā
Sitting in Huo Sichengās car, Gu Qingcheng slumped into the seat, exhausted.
Huo Sicheng, seeing her tired state, tenderly wrapped his arms around her.
Gu Qingcheng didnāt resist Huo Sichengās embrace. As she buried her head in his chest, her arms around his solid frame, he felt her fatigue and the strength of her embrace. His phoenix eyes softened, tender kisses landing on her dark hair.
He knew she was exhausted, having stayed up nights at Longshan Cemetery to watch over the critically ill Qi Shaoze, then working non-stop at Diyi. Her physical strength had long been overdrawn. šš»š®š®šš®ššš¤šš®š.š¬š¤š
Gu Qingcheng, comforted by Huo Sichengās unique scent, fell asleep in his arms, unable to keep her eyes open.
Huo Sicheng gently stroked her slender back, feeling the steadiness of her breathing, his grip tightening around her.
After so many days, she finally didnāt resist his embrace, sleeping peacefully in his arms ā a beautiful feeling for him.
In the hall of Wanmei Villa, Huo Xuan saw his mother, Gu Qingcheng, lying in his fatherās arms as they entered, and his dull eyes instantly brightened.
āMummyā¦ā
āShhā¦ā Huo Sicheng gestured for silence, āYour mom hasnāt slept for days, sheās exhausted. Iāll take her to her room to sleep.ā
Hearing his fatherās words, Huo Xuan nodded understandingly, full of concern.
Huo Sicheng gently laid Gu Qingcheng on the bed, covering her with a blanket.
Standing behind Huo Sicheng, Huo Xuan quietly asked, āDaddy, why hasnāt Mummy slept for so many nights?ā
Huo Sicheng gestured towards the door as they left the room.
āYour mom has been very busy,ā he told Huo Xuan softly. āYou wanted to surprise her last night but couldnāt wait for her return. She had urgent matters to attend to, otherwise she wouldnāt have stayed out.ā
Huo Xuan, tilting his head, looked at the closed door, then at his dad. freewe(b)novel.c(o)m
āOkay, I reluctantly believe Daddy didnāt lie, because if Mom lets you hold her back, it means she has forgiven you.ā
Huo Sicheng sighed, āYouāre too clever for your age. Your mom might sleep until late, you should go eat and sleep.ā
āOkay, Iāll listen to Daddy.ā
Huo Sicheng watched Huo Xuan leave, then lay down beside Gu Qingcheng.
He gazed at her peaceful sleeping face, his eyes filled with deep affection.
Gu Qingcheng slept soundly, waking up the next morning.
Feeling a strong arm around her waist and a steady heartbeat in her ear, she opened her drowsy eyes in surprise and looked up, her gaze meeting his starry phoenix eyes.
Huo Sicheng softly said, āGood morning.ā
Stunned, Gu Qingcheng slowly realized she had fallen asleep in Huo Sichengās arms.
āIām so hungry,ā she said hoarsely.
Huo Sicheng. āIāll have breakfast sent in.ā
āNo, I donāt like eating in bed,ā Gu Qingcheng shook her head. āSince weāre back at the villa, letās get up and go to the dining room. I owe our son an apology.ā Huo Sicheng tenderly stroked her hair.
āMummy.ā Huo Xuan happily hugged her when he saw her. āIāve missed you so much.ā
Gu Qingcheng bent down to hug Huo Xuan, kissing his cheek.
āIāve missed you too,ā she told him softly, apologizing, āSorry, I promised to come home but couldnāt.ā
Huo Xuan comforted her, āI understand your busyness, Mummy. Youāve worked hard.ā
Gu Qingcheng chuckled as they sat down at the dining table.
āMummy, Iām so hungry. Shall we eat together?ā
Huo Xuan. āSure.ā
Gu Qingcheng ate a lot, obviously hungry.
Seeing her like this, Huo Xuan felt sorry for her but also wanted to surprise her.
He quietly left, returning quickly to the dining room.
āMummy, hereās the surprise I wanted to give you.ā
Gu Qingcheng, having just finished breakfast, turned to his sweet voice and was stunned.
A painting.
It depicted their living room; she had long hair draped over her shoulders, wearing a lily-of-the-valley long dress, smiling and holding Huo Xuan.
Huo Sicheng, in a sharp suit, held both of them, the three looking warm and happy.
The painting was lifelike.
She knew Huo Xuan could paint, but this was astonishingly good, making her doubt if he really did it.
Astonished and joyous, she asked, āDid you paint this?ā
āYes,ā Huo Xuan smiled sweetly. āThis is our family. This is Daddy, this is Mummy, this is me, my surprise for you. Do you like it?ā
āI love it,ā Gu Qingcheng replied without hesitation, looking at the painting filled with happiness and joy. āI love the surprise gift from you, very much.ā Huo Xuan, seeing her happy, glanced at Huo Sicheng.
Huo Sichengās eyes were full of love for Gu Qingcheng, too mesmerized to look away.
Huo Xuanās big eyes shifted between his parents, visibly relieved.
It seemed his parents had reconciled, and their family was back to being happy. āIām glad you like it,ā he said, hugging Gu Qingchengās legs. āI love you so much, Mummy.ā
āI love you too,ā Gu Qingcheng kissed his cheek. āHow long did it take to paint
Huo Xuan said, āTwo weeks.ā
Gu Qingcheng. āYouāre amazing, my son. Iāll organize an exhibition for you.ā
Huo Xuan clapped happily. āOkay.ā
Suddenly, Gu Qingchengās phone rang. It was Chu He calling, causing her brow to furrow.
āBaby, Mummy needs to take a call.ā
Huo Xuan. āOkay.ā
Gu Qingcheng stepped outside to answer.
On the phone, Chu Heās scornful voice came first.. āGu Qingcheng, do you think by forcing Gu Tianhao to divorce me, youāll defeat me?ā
