Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huo Sicheng’s face turned unnatural at Gu Qingcheng’s question.

Huo Xuan saw the expression in his father’s eyes.

He knew that his father was in the wrong and had let his mother down. He understood his father would be speechless when questioned by his mother.

“Mommy, Daddy did it,” Huo Xuan said.

Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Xuan. “Your father didn’t do it.”

“He did it a few days ago, but he hasn’t done it recently,” Huo Xuan said with a serious face. “I saw with my own eyes that Mom and Dad were very happy together.”

Gu Qingcheng lost her temper at Huo Xuan’s reasonable words.

In fact, Huo Sicheng had brought her happiness before, but recently, she had only suffered.

“I have something to do,” she said, looking at Huo Xuan. “Baby, after breakfast, let Daddy send you back to the villa to study.”

Huo Sicheng wasn’t surprised when he heard that Gu Qingcheng wasn’t going to eat breakfast. Her mood dictated whether she would join, so her rejection was expected.

“Mommy…” Huo Xuan ran to Gu Qingcheng and hugged her leg. “Mommy, don’t go. Have breakfast with Baby.”

Gu Qingcheng, extremely reluctant to eat Huo Sicheng’s cooking, softened her heart when she saw Huo Xuan’s pitiful face.

“Okay, Mommy will accompany Baby for breakfast.” Huo Xuan danced happily when he saw his mother agree.

“Mommy, I love you.”

“Mommy loves you too,” Gu Qingcheng smiled gently.

Huo Xuan, afraid his mother would run away, held her hand and dragged her to the dining table, not forgetting to look at his father proudly.

Huo Sicheng glanced at Huo Xuan, who was looking at him smugly. He wasn’t angry. Instead, he was happy that his son had asked Gu Qingcheng to stay for breakfast.

Gu Qingcheng glanced at Huo Sicheng out of the corner of her eye, and when she saw his gentle gaze, her heart began to pound.

It was throbbing in her chest.

The state of Huo Sicheng’s eyes caused her heart to be involuntarily moved by him.

It annoyed her.

She was attracted to Huo Sicheng, but he was not loyal to her.

How annoying!

Huo Xuan blinked his big black eyes as he looked at his mother eating. “Mom, is this dish delicious?”

Gu Qingcheng knew Huo Xuan wanted her to praise Huo Sicheng.

In actual fact, the food was delicious and it perfectly suited her palate but she would never praise Huo Sicheng.

“Unappetizing. ”

Huo Xuan’s expectant expression froze. “No, the food is great. Mom, eat more.

It’s really delicious.”

“Not to my liking,” Gu Qingcheng put down her chopsticks and stood up.

Seeing his mother’s actions, Huo Xuan was afraid she would leave. “Mom, don’t leave if you don’t like it.”

“I didn’t leave. I got myself some fruit,” Gu Qingcheng walked to the fridge and picked up an apple. She then looked at Huo Xuan and said deliberately, “The breakfast is terrible. Who made such an awful breakfast? If he didn’t know how to cook, why even try? Someday, who knows if someone might really be poisoned.”

Huo Sicheng’s face darkened upon hearing Gu Qingcheng’s words.

Huo Xuan saw his father’s expression and said, “Mom, actually, breakfast…”

“Huo Xuan, hurry up and eat,” Huo Sicheng interrupted. “Your mother is in a hurry to go out. I’ll send you back to the villa for class after you finish eating.”

Huo Xuan looked at his father’s warning eyes. He wanted to tell his mother that his father had made breakfast, but he couldn’t.

“Got it, Dad.”

Gu Qingcheng glanced at Huo Xuan, who was obediently eating, and then at Huo Sicheng, who had his back to her.

She didn’t need to look at Huo Sicheng’s expression to know that he was warning Huo Xuan not to talk nonsense.

If she hadn’t heard Huo Xuan’s words, she wouldn’t have known that Huo Sicheng had made breakfast.

She looked at the apple in her hand, took two apples, and cut a plate of fruit. She walked to the dining table and placed it in front of Huo Xuan.

“Have some fruit,” she said, picking up a piece of apple to eat. “Mommy will leave first. Baby must be good and study.”

“Mommy…” Huo Xuan looked at his mother unwillingly. “Shall we go back to the villa tonight? I need you.”

Gu Qingcheng’s heart ached for Huo Xuan, but she didn’t want to go back to the villa for the time being.

“It’ll be very late when I finish my work. You won’t be able to see me when I return to the villa,” she suppressed the bitterness in her heart and comforted Huo Xuan gently. “Be good, baby. Mommy will play with you when you’re not in class.”

Huo Xuan reached out and gently tugged at her mother’s sleeve. “Mom, say yes. As long as you return to the villa, I can wait for you to come home without sleeping.”

Gu Qingcheng looked down at Huo Xuan’s big, watery eyes, which were filled with pleading. She held her breath, and the pain was unbearable.

Huo Sicheng had really done something wrong. Otherwise, the three of them would’ve been happy now, and she wouldn’t be so depressed.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

However, she held back her resentment towards Huo Sicheng and looked at the pitiful Huo Xuan. In the end, her heart softened.

“Okay, Mommy will go back to the villa tonight and will go back early to make dinner for Baby,” she cupped Huo Xuan’s face with both hands and said gently, “Is that okay?”

Huo Xuan was ecstatic. “Mommy, really? You can’t lie to me, okay?”

“Mommy isn’t lying,” Gu Qingcheng reassured. “I’ll be home early tonight to make dinner for you.”

“Mommy…” Huo Xuan immediately hugged Gu Qingcheng’s leg. “Mommy, I love you. I love you so, so much.”

Seeing Huo Xuan’s happy smile, Gu Qingcheng felt a little better.

She couldn’t blame Huo Xuan for what happened between her and Huo Sicheng. Since her son was so eager for her to return to the villa, it wouldn’t be a problem for her to go back.

“Then can I leave now?” She asked Huo Xuan gently. “I am going to participate in the Peach Lotus Cup today. I’ll have to go and prepare.”

Huo Xuan let go of his mother reluctantly. “Mom, come home early.”

“Alright,” Gu Qingcheng replied.

Before she left, she looked at Huo Sicheng and stared at him with anger in her eyes. She glared at him and turned to leave.

Huo Sicheng saw the look in Gu Qingcheng’s eyes, and his hands trembled under the table.

He suddenly realized that he was afraid of Gu Qingcheng. He was afraid that he would make her unhappy, and he blamed himself for it.

“Daddy, Mommy is going to the Peach Lotus Cup today. You should accompany her,” Huo Xuan looked at his father after his mother left. “Every time Mommy goes to the Peach Lotus Cup, Qi Shaoze will always appear. You can’t let him get close to Mom. He’s especially annoying when he’s around her.”

Huo Sicheng’s slanted eyes became complicated. “Okay.”

Only then did Huo Xuan continue eating.

Gu Qingcheng had gone to Royaal Dance, and Li Jing was about to take Ziyu and the others to the competition venue. She was surprised to see Gu Qingcheng there.

“I thought you would go straight to the competition venue,” Li Jing said.

Gu Qingcheng smiled at Li Jing. “I plan to go with you.”

“Alright,” Li Jing responded.

She pulled Gu Qingcheng aside and lowered her voice, asking worriedly,

“Qingcheng, have you reconciled with President Huo?”

Gu Qingcheng was speechless.

She recalled the last time she was at Imperial Arts. Li Jing must have noticed the conflict between her and Huo Sicheng.

“Sigh…” She sighed. “Huo Sicheng is too fickle.”

“Fickle?” Li Jing was surprised.. “Did President Huo reconcile with Ji Sisi again?”
