Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huo Sicheng stared straight at Qin Chong.

“What I mean, you know very well.”

‘ Qin Chong was stunned and stared fixedly at Huo Sicheng before saying, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

Huo Sicheng was certain: “You know what I am talking about, you’re just pretending not to know.”

“Sicheng…” Qin Chong’s brows furrowed, “The things I just said to you, you heard them clearly. Regarding your deceased parents, I have taken care of you all these years, which should be enough to give them an explanation. As for your wife, Gu Qingcheng, I went from disliking to accepting her. You saw with your own eyes at the Gu family’s place the other day; I reconciled with her. So there’s nothing between you and me that we know but pretend not to.”

After finishing, Qin Chong saw that Huo Sicheng didn’t speak and said in a deep voice, “Sicheng, if you have any thoughts, just tell me directly. It’s best for us to clear things up today to avoid deepening any misunderstandings between us, which is not good for either of us.”

Huo Sicheng continued to stare directly at Qin Chong. “The day after tomorrow is my parents’ death anniversary.”

Qin Chong was momentarily stunned, “I know. The day after tomorrow is my birthday and also your parents’ death anniversary. As long as I am alive, I will definitely go to Mt. Dragon Cemetery the day after tomorrow, you…”

He paused as his pupils suddenly contracted, as if realizing something. His already pale face turned ghostly white, as if he would disappear from this world at any moment.

Huo Sicheng captured Qin Chong’s expression and remained silent.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was freezing.

Qin Chong’s gaze at Huo Sicheng shifted from shock to disbelief. Finally, seeing himself and Huo Sicheng alone in the bedroom, his eyes filled with terror as if afraid Huo Sicheng would kill him.

“Sicheng, don’t… don’t do anything rash…” He stammered nervously, “I have taken care of you for so many years, even if there’s no credit, there’s hard work, you…”

Huo Sicheng calmly asked Qin Chong, “What are you afraid of?”

Qin Chong’s body stiffened, feeling the strong aura emanating from Huo Sicheng, almost suffocating him.

“I’m not afraid of anything.”

“Is that so?” Huo Sicheng approached Qin Chong’s bedside, looked at him closely, and asked, “If you’re not afraid of anything, why are you feeling guilty?”

Qin Chong’s pupils shrank, the closeness making him feel Huo Sicheng’s intimidating presence, as if he was about to be devoured alive, filled with fear.

“Sicheng, I’m not guilty, I haven’t done anything wrong, what should I feel guilty about?” He weakly looked towards the bedside call bell, trying his best to reach for it to call someone in.

Huo Sicheng raised his hand, placing his distinctly jointed hand on Qin Chong’s pulse, seemingly unintentional, but actually preventing Qin Chong from pressing the call bell.

“Your pulse is very fast, and you can see the numbers of your heartbeat on the monitor. Every word you say, your heart reveals your intense emotions, so feeling guilty and lying will be exposed in front of the machine.”

Qin Chong’s eyes widened as he looked up and saw his heartbeat continuously increasing on the monitor.

The cold temperature of Huo Sicheng’s fingers on his wrist made his teeth chatter.

“Sicheng, are you saving me only to want me dead?”

“I have already saved you, why would I want you dead?” Huo Sicheng withdrew his hand, looking at Qin Chong, “You need to calm down, otherwise I will have the doctor come in and give you a sedative. I promised your sister-in-law to treat you well, so you mustn’t get into any trouble. This is my repayment for your years of taking care of me.”

Qin Chong looked at Huo Sicheng.

In his eyes, Huo Sicheng was always calm, but seemed like a knife continuously stabbing into his heart. Every word Huo Sicheng spoke was aimed at his soul, reminding him of many buried memories and filling him with guilty terror.

“Cousin doesn’t need your repayment. As long as you and Gu Qingcheng are happily in love and have a harmonious family, that’s my greatest comfort,” he said tremblingly.

Hurriedly, he added, “Sicheng, I suddenly remembered something. Press the call bell, and have your cousin come over, I have something to tell her.”

“Okay.” Huo Sicheng did not refuse Qin Chong’s request, calmly pressing the call bell.

Qin Chong was shocked, not expecting Huo Sicheng to actually press the call bell and have his wife Bai Si come to see him.

He thought Huo Sicheng was going to kill him today, but Huo Sicheng didn’t do so.

Doctors quickly entered the room.

Huo Sicheng instructed, “Tell my cousin to come over, say my cousin urgently needs her.”

“Yes, Young Master Huo.”

Qin Chong was anxious, avoiding Huo Sicheng’s gaze, but was restless, sweating profusely.

Huo Sicheng seemed to be chatting with him, even calling him cousin and talking about saving him out of gratitude, but every word he said filled him with dread.

He would rather have Huo Sicheng speak to him directly than say such calm yet faultless words.

At this moment, his thoughts were in chaos.

Huo Sicheng seemed to have said nothing, yet seemed to have said everything to him. His memory uncontrollably began recalling the car accident from years ago.

“What are you thinking about? You’re so lost in thought,” Huo Sicheng’s voice sounded again, “Your heart is beating too fast. You need to calm down and not waste the medicine I gave you for treatment.”

Qin Chong suddenly came back to reality, quickly looking at the heart rate monitor, and took deep breaths to calm down.

Normally, his heart would have failed at such a fast rate, but today, perhaps due to Huo Sicheng’s special medicine, his usual heart condition didn’t flare up.

He looked at Huo Sicheng, seeing his calm, exquisitely handsome face, his mind in turmoil, various questions sprouting like seedlings in his heart.

Doubts; he had a heap of questions he wanted to ask Huo Sicheng but couldn’t bring himself to.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He couldn’t bear it and pretended to ask Huo Sicheng casually, “Sicheng, do you have anything else to say to me?”

Huo Sicheng calmly observed the subtle changes in Qin Chong’s face.

Qin Chong was taken aback, “It’s me asking if you have anything to say to me, not what I want you to say.”

Huo Sicheng: “I have nothing I want to say to you, cousin.”

Qin Chong’s expression changed slightly, and his heartbeat started to soar again.

Huo Sicheng was too calm, and the more placid his expression, the worse Qin Chong felt.

However, Huo Sicheng’s personality was always restrained and taciturn, and at this moment, Qin Chong found him especially terrifying.

He knew he shouldn’t ask Huo Sicheng any more questions and just wait for his wife Bai Si to come, so he could save himself.

But after talking so much to Huo Sicheng, his words kept increasing Qin Chong’s doubts, causing him great distress.

In the end, he couldn’t help but ask Huo Sicheng again, “Do you really have nothing to say to me?”

Huo Sicheng: “How about you directly ask me any questions you have about me, cousin? How does that sound?”
