Chapter 318: Acting Coquettishly in His Arms
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Chu He heard about Gu Tianhaoโs fall from the building, her expression was complex as she looked at the servant.
โTake me there quickly.โ
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 wouldnโt have to divorce him. Their daughter, Gu Mei, wouldnโt have to worry about money for treatment, and she wouldnโt lose everything. โHow is my husband, doctor?โ she asked, โIs he in danger?โ
โMadam, we still donโt know,โ the doctor told Chu He. โThe hospital is doing its best to save Mr. Gu.โ
Chu He didnโt 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 Sichengโs voice was gentle. โAre you done?โ
Gu Qingcheng. โJust finished, about to drive.โ
Huo Sicheng. โIโm waiting at your door.โ
Surprised, Gu Qingcheng immediately realized Huo Sicheng had come to Diyi.
โNo need to wait outside, drive in. Iโm too tired to walk.โ
Huo Sicheng. โOkay.โ
Sitting in Huo Sichengโs car, Gu Qingcheng slumped into the seat, exhausted.
Huo Sicheng, seeing her tired state, tenderly wrapped his arms around her.
Gu Qingcheng didnโt resist Huo Sichengโs 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. ๐๐ป๐ฎ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ค๐๐ฎ๐.๐ฌ๐ค๐
Gu Qingcheng, comforted by Huo Sichengโs 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 didnโt resist his embrace, sleeping peacefully in his arms โ a beautiful feeling for him.
In the hall of Wanmei Villa, Huo Xuan saw his mother, Gu Qingcheng, lying in his fatherโs arms as they entered, and his dull eyes instantly brightened.
โMummyโฆโ
โShhโฆโ Huo Sicheng gestured for silence, โYour mom hasnโt slept for days, sheโs exhausted. Iโll take her to her room to sleep.โ
Hearing his fatherโs 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, โDaddy, why hasnโt Mummy slept for so many nights?โ
Huo Sicheng gestured towards the door as they left the room.
โYour mom has been very busy,โ he told Huo Xuan softly. โYou wanted to surprise her last night but couldnโt wait for her return. She had urgent matters to attend to, otherwise she wouldnโt have stayed out.โ
Huo Xuan, tilting his head, looked at the closed door, then at his dad. freewe(b)novel.c(o)m
โOkay, I reluctantly believe Daddy didnโt lie, because if Mom lets you hold her back, it means she has forgiven you.โ
Huo Sicheng sighed, โYouโre too clever for your age. Your mom might sleep until late, you should go eat and sleep.โ
โOkay, Iโll listen to Daddy.โ
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, โGood morning.โ
Stunned, Gu Qingcheng slowly realized she had fallen asleep in Huo Sichengโs arms.
โIโm so hungry,โ she said hoarsely.
Huo Sicheng. โIโll have breakfast sent in.โ
โNo, I donโt like eating in bed,โ Gu Qingcheng shook her head. โSince weโre back at the villa, letโs get up and go to the dining room. I owe our son an apology.โ Huo Sicheng tenderly stroked her hair.
โMummy.โ Huo Xuan happily hugged her when he saw her. โIโve missed you so much.โ
Gu Qingcheng bent down to hug Huo Xuan, kissing his cheek.
โIโve missed you too,โ she told him softly, apologizing, โSorry, I promised to come home but couldnโt.โ
Huo Xuan comforted her, โI understand your busyness, Mummy. Youโve worked hard.โ
Gu Qingcheng chuckled as they sat down at the dining table.
โMummy, Iโm so hungry. Shall we eat together?โ
Huo Xuan. โSure.โ
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.
โMummy, hereโs the surprise I wanted to give you.โ
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, โDid you paint this?โ
โYes,โ Huo Xuan smiled sweetly. โThis is our family. This is Daddy, this is Mummy, this is me, my surprise for you. Do you like it?โ
โI love it,โ Gu Qingcheng replied without hesitation, looking at the painting filled with happiness and joy. โI love the surprise gift from you, very much.โ Huo Xuan, seeing her happy, glanced at Huo Sicheng.
Huo Sichengโs eyes were full of love for Gu Qingcheng, too mesmerized to look away.
Huo Xuanโs big eyes shifted between his parents, visibly relieved.
It seemed his parents had reconciled, and their family was back to being happy. โIโm glad you like it,โ he said, hugging Gu Qingchengโs legs. โI love you so much, Mummy.โ
โI love you too,โ Gu Qingcheng kissed his cheek. โHow long did it take to paint
Huo Xuan said, โTwo weeks.โ
Gu Qingcheng. โYouโre amazing, my son. Iโll organize an exhibition for you.โ
Huo Xuan clapped happily. โOkay.โ
Suddenly, Gu Qingchengโs phone rang. It was Chu He calling, causing her brow to furrow.
โBaby, Mummy needs to take a call.โ
Huo Xuan. โOkay.โ
Gu Qingcheng stepped outside to answer.
On the phone, Chu Heโs scornful voice came first.. โGu Qingcheng, do you think by forcing Gu Tianhao to divorce me, youโll defeat me?โ
