Huo Xuan pursed his lips and walked forward silently.

“Your dad won’t let you?” Gu Qingcheng asked, then said to Huo Xuan with certainty, “He has no right to tell me what to do.”

Huo Xuan shook his head.

Gu Qingcheng frowned.

He needed to be picked up and sent to school every day. Clearly, it was not a private school.

Then why couldn’t she send him off?

“My dear, tell me. Why can’t I send you to school?”

“My classmate is unfriendly.” Huo Xuan finally told her the truth obediently. “I’ll embarrass you if I do this. Besides, Dad has never acknowledged me to the public. I’m a burden.”

Before this, Gu Qingcheng couldn’t understand why Huo Sicheng didn’t publicly announce Huo Xuan’s existence. Today, she finally understood why.

If Huo Sicheng made Huo Xuan known to the public, Qin Jun and the rest would kill the kid and even frame Sicheng for it.

Keeping it a secret was the best way to protect Huo Xuan.

“Dearest, Mommy and Daddy never considered you an embarrassment.” She said firmly, “You’re our most beloved child. We all love you. You mustn’t have such thoughts in the future.”

“Your father’s identity is special,” she comforted him softly after pausing for a moment. “Not making you known is also a form of protection for you. But I’m different. I don’t attract as much attention as him. So let me send you to school, okay?”

Huo Xuan stared at his mother for a long time before he reached out and hugged her tightly.

Happiness and sweetness filled his small face. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Alright. Let’s go to school together.”

Gu Qingcheng hugged Huo Xuan gently.

The mother and son went to eat after a walk. On the way, they passed by the living room. The living room that she had smashed was now clean, but there were few decorations left, making it seem very empty.

Suddenly, she felt as though she had fallen into Huo Sicheng’s trap.

Huo Sicheng had asked her to discuss redecorating the living room with Huo

Xuan.

Back then, she had made a promise to Huo Xuan in embarrassment. She definitely could not go back on her word to the little kid who was full of hope.

Therefore, Huo Sicheng had effectively trapped her in Wanmei Villa. As long as she didn’t discuss the new renovation with Huo Xuan, she could not leave the villa. Otherwise, Huo Xuan would be very sad if he could not see her.

Fortunately, she did not fall for his kindness. She knew that he wasn’t so kind.

She contemplated. Anyway, she wanted to live in the villa and she wanted to relax. She wasn’t about to allow something like this to ruin her mood.

Then, she asked Mr. Qing and learned that Ji Sisi had already left the villa and Huo Sicheng did not need dinner.

These two bits of information put her in a good mood. Otherwise, she would flip the table with Ji Sisi and Huo Sicheng present.

After dinner, Gu Qingcheng went into the bedroom. Seeing that Huo Sicheng wasn’t there, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She was staying here tonight and didn’t want Huo Sicheng to disturb her.

However, she felt complicated as she looked at the furnishings in the room.

Back then, she had spent a lot of money to decorate the bedroom with furniture. She had wanted to be a real couple with Huo Sicheng.

He had disappointed her and caused irreparable hurt and damage.

She did not want to be married to him now. Other than revenge, divorce was the most important thing for her.

After a moment of deliberation, she came to the door of the study. After opening the door, she deliberately kicked it, resulting in a loud bang.

“Huo Sicheng, what did you do?” she questioned. “Why did you make Mr. Zhao leave?”

Huo Sicheng was flipping through some files. He didn’t even bat an eyelid when Gu Qingcheng arrived.

Gu Qingcheng had come to see Huo Sicheng to talk things out.

In the end, he ignored her as if she was air, and anger instantly welled up in her heart.

She walked up to him, snatched the document in front of him, tore it up, and threw it at him.

“Tell Mr. Zhao to return to the villa immediately.”

She ordered the servant to get Mr. Zhao back, but he would not dare to obey. After all, Mr. Zhao was chased away by Huo Sicheng.

It meant only Huo Sicheng could order Mr. Zhao to come back.

Huo Sicheng looked at the scraps of paper on his body, and a chill ran down his spine. He looked at Gu Qingcheng with his dark eyes.

“Do you know how important this document is to me?”

Hearing Huo Sicheng’s words, Gu Qingcheng knew that the document was very important, and she felt apologetic.

However, she had no intention of apologizing. If he didn’t trap her in the villa, would she come and tear up his documents? In the end, it was all Huo Sicheng’s fault!

Then why should she feel sorry?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind.

She had to protect the Qi family and return him to the villa. She had to think of another way to force him to divorce her.

It was impossible that he’d have such patience and tolerance for her all his life. Since that was the case, if she forced him to lose patience with her and couldn’t stand her, he would still force her to get a divorce like last time.

That’s right!

Let’s do it!

“No matter how important it is, it’s not as important as my problem.” She ignored Huo Sicheng’s cold attitude and ordered him from above, “I want to see Mr. Zhao tomorrow morning. If I don’t see him, I’ll never forgive you!” After saying that, she snorted coldly and slammed the door shut.

Gu Qingcheng stormed back to her room, but her anger had mostly subsided when she was there.

When she was showering, she saw the wide bathtub, and the scene with Huo Sicheng that night flashed in her mind.

Her face flushed, and her heart beat faster.

This made her too busy to look at the bathtub. After bathing, she went back to bed to sleep.

It was late at night, and Gu Qingcheng fell into a deep sleep. In her daze, someone seemed to pull her into an embrace.

This embrace was very familiar to her. It was firm, broad, and filled with a sense of security.

She subconsciously moved closer and leaned into this reassuring embrace.

Suddenly, she felt the strong arms around her waist, hugging her tightly. She also felt small kisses on her forehead, cheeks, and lips.

She was too familiar with those things.

Huo Sicheng!

She suddenly opened her eyes, and what greeted her was a pair of bright, clear eyes and a small face like an angel.

Huo Xuan?

She turned around and looked around, but Huo Sicheng was nowhere to be seen.

For the first time in her life, she had dreamed of Huo Sicheng.

She was very embarrassed. Of all people, she had to dream of Huo Sicheng.

Huo Xuan smiled sweetly. “Mom, you’re awake.”

Gu Qingcheng raised her arms and pulled Huo Xuan into her arms.

“Yes, I’m awake.” She saw that Huo Xuan was in a good mood. “It’s time to get up. After all, I promised to send you to school.’

Huo Xuan was ecstatic. “Okay.”

Gu Qingcheng froze when she opened her wardrobe to pick out today’s clothes. When she came to Wanmei Villa, she only brought a suitcase, so she didn’t have many clothes.

The closet in front of her was filled to the brim, so many it seemed she would never have to buy another dress in her life.

She took a look at the clothes. They were custom pieces, and the embroidery and needlework were all handmade.

She suspected that Huo Sicheng had sent her clothes last time. After she did not reject him, he had already sent people to custom-make thousands of clothes for her.

‘Don’t think I won’t get a divorce with you just because he used these clothes to make me happy!’

Huo Xuan stood at the side and looked at the clothes. “If you’re unhappy, it must mean Daddy must’ve bought these clothes for Mommy.”

“Actually, Dad likes you very much, but he’s not good at expressing it.” He raised his small hand to look at the clothes and seriously said, “Mommy, don’t get angry at Daddy.. Take the initiative to try to talk to him, okay?”
