Gu Qingcheng stared into Huo Sicheng’s dark, phoenix-like eyes.

She had thought that Huo Sicheng was knowingly asking her a question.

But the confusion in Huo Sicheng’s eyes made her realize that he genuinely didn’t know the answer.

“Flowers.”

Huo Sicheng’s phoenix eyes suddenly sparkled, and he said softly, “You know.”

“Yes.” Gu Qingcheng looked straight at Huo Sicheng, “When I was taking apart the bouquet of lily of the valley, lilies, and lavender, I found that the lavender was exactly the same color as the one at my mother’s grave. That was when I realized that it has always been you who have been sending flowers to my mother all these years, without fail, and I only found out it was you today.”

She paused, her voice a bit hoarse, “You are always like this, doing things without explanation, just doing them on your own. If only you had explained when Qin Jun was badmouthing you, we wouldn’t have been ‘deadly comrades’ for so many years.”

Huo Sicheng listened to Gu Qingcheng’s half-complaining, half-resigned words, and said softly, “It’s my fault.”

“You…” Gu Qingcheng was both angry and heartbroken, and finally pinched Huo Sicheng’s solid narrow waist hard, “You mute!”

Huo Sicheng groaned from his throat, his eyes showing suppressed pain, but his lips curved slightly as he said softly, “As long as it makes you feel better, do whatever you want.”

Gu Qingcheng was just about to say that the only thing that would make her feel better was for Huo Sicheng to explain everything about Miss Li, but she knew he wouldn’t, so she swallowed those words.

“Who sent the flower basket?” she asked him, “When I left the villa, your car was still in the garage, you couldn’t have arrived at Mt. Dragon before me.” Huo Sicheng softly said, “Is there a possibility that I took a helicopter?”

“Why didn’t you take me with you in your helicopter to Mt. Dragon?” Gu Qingcheng frowned upon hearing this, glaring at Huo Sicheng, “I drove for hours to get there.”

Huo Sicheng: “You were angry with me, indifferent to me, even if I had asked you to come to Mt. Dragon with me in the helicopter, you would have definitely refused.’

Gu Qingcheng was speechless.

This morning, when Ah Qing gave her the flowers, she was still angry with Huo Sicheng, so if he had asked her to take the helicopter to Mt. Dragon, she would have refused without hesitation.

She was annoyed at the sight of him, preferring to be far away from him.

But the bunch of roses from Gu Tianhao didn’t keep her away from him, and now she was close to him, in his arms.

This was especially the case for the lavender basket in front of Mu Xia’s grave that made her realize Huo Sicheng’s sincere actions over the years, warming her heart and lessening her grievances against him.

“Indeed, I would definitely have refused you,” she admitted frankly, “You annoyed me.”

Huo Sicheng knew why Gu Qingcheng was angry and remained apologetically silent.

Gu Qingcheng, seeing the self-reproach in Huo Sicheng’s eyes, sighed, “It’s pointless to be angry at you, at least I don’t want to waste my energy on you today.”

Huo Sicheng: “Today you don’t have to waste time on me, but starting tomorrow, you should waste a little time on me, even a tiny bit would satisfy me.”

Hearing Huo Sicheng’s words, Gu Qingcheng suddenly felt very choked up.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Not wasting time on Huo Sicheng meant that she didn’t care about him at all.

So Huo Sicheng’s words were an appeal for her to show that she still cared about him.

At this moment, she clearly felt that Huo Sicheng was afraid, afraid of losing her.

For a moment, she felt happy, realizing that he too was afraid of losing her, and it wasn’t just her fear of losing him.

“Rest assured, I’m willing to waste a little time on you,” she said coldly, but intentionally to please Huo Sicheng.

Huo Sicheng’s eyes brightened upon hearing this, his star-like phoenix eyes adoringly gazing at Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng couldn’t stand the way Huo Sicheng looked at her with such fondness, her heart racing with the urge to pounce on and kiss him.

But she resisted the impulse and changed the subject, asking Huo Sicheng, “Does Qin Chong come to Mt. Dragon every year to pay respects to your parents?”

“No,” Huo Sicheng replied softly to Gu Qingcheng, “I asked him to come today.”

“Huh?” Gu Qingcheng frowned slightly at Huo Sicheng, “Why did you ask Qin

Chong to see your parents? And you, you asked him to come, which caused Gu Tianhao to also come to the Mt. Dragon cemetery, having them at my mother’s grave, it’s like defiling my mother’s tomb.”

Huo Sicheng: “It was my mistake, don’t be angry.”

“I definitely am!” Gu Qingcheng thought of the hatred in Gu Tianhao’s eyes. “My mother never liked red roses in her life, and yet he brought a big bunch of red roses to my mother, it’s so ironic!”

“Don’t be angry,” Huo Sicheng soothed Gu Qingcheng, “You’re still on medication, you can’t have such intense emotional fluctuations, otherwise your medication will be wasted. Besides, it’s not worth getting upset over these people.”

“You’re right, it’s not worth getting angry over Gu Tianhao,” Gu Qingcheng thought of the medicine she had taken for so many days, took a deep breath to calm her intense hatred, and said, “You still haven’t told me why you asked Qin Chong to come to Mt. Dragon.”

“A few days ago, Qin Chong almost died of illness.” Huo Sicheng didn’t hide the truth from Gu Qingcheng, “I took a doctor to the Qin family and saved him, then I asked him to come to the cemetery today to pay respects to my parents.”

“What?” Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng in astonishment, “You saved Qin Chong?”

He saved Qin Chong?

Huo Sicheng actually saved Qin Chong?

Damn it!

She wished Qin Chong would die sooner of a heart attack, ending his sinful life!

But Huo Sicheng ended up saving her enemy.

In an instant, she was furious, full of resentment towards Huo Sicheng.

He hurriedly explained, “I know you hate Qin Chong, but Qin Chong can’t die!”

“Yes, Qin Chong certainly can’t die! After all, he’s your cousin, and he helped you and even saved the entire Huo family after your parents died.” Gu Qingcheng was furious, reaching out to push Huo Sicheng away.

She was seething with anger.

She had just been full of warmth towards him.

Damn it!

She wished Qin Chong would die sooner of a heart attack, ending his sinful life!

But Huo Sicheng ended up saving her enemy.

In an instant, she was furious, full of resentment towards Huo Sicheng.

Seeing Gu Qingcheng’s eyes blazing with fury, Huo Sicheng felt the overwhelming anger emanating from her, as if she was about to tear him apart.

He hurriedly explained, “I know you hate Qin Chong, but he mustn’t die!”
