Chapter 223  : Touching Her Heart

Huo Sicheng watched as Gu Qingcheng sat down, his eyes suddenly becoming warm.

Usually, she would sit on his lap, but this time was different from before.

His hands first wrapped around her waist, slowly moving downwards.

Gu Qingcheng’s body stiffened instantly.

At this close range, she could clearly see the burning desire in Huo Sicheng’s eyes, and she realized what she had done.

Huo Sicheng’s hands were placed on Gu Qingcheng’s perky buttocks, and he couldn’t help but move them.

The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

“Don’t touch me recklessly,” Gu Qingcheng removed Huo Sicheng’s big hand and, with a blushing face, got up from his lap, pretending to be calm. “I ask you a serious question, and all you do is tease me.”

Huo Sicheng, with fiery phoenix-like eyes, looked at Gu Qingcheng’s coquettish appearance, his breath unstable, his Adam’s apple rolling as his voice husked, “Yes.”

Gu Qingcheng couldn’t resist the seductive look in Huo Sicheng’s eyes. This thousand-year-old fox spirit knew how to tease her, making her heart race and her body heat up.

She raised her hand and casually touched her own flushed face, her voice trembling slightly as she said, “You can go ahead and tell me.”

Huo Sicheng, observing Gu Qingcheng’s subtle movements, answered truthfully, “It’s me.”

He knew that if Gu Qingcheng asked, it meant she already knew everything, but she needed confirmation that he was the answer she wanted.

Gu Qingcheng lightly bit her lower lip and asked Huo Sicheng softly, “Why did you keep it from me?”

“I thought it would be better if you didn’t know these things,” Huo Sicheng told Gu Qingcheng honestly. “It would prevent you from getting angry, and getting angry isn’t good for your health.”

“That reason is pretty lame,” Gu Qingcheng teased Huo Sicheng with a playful glance. “It’s hard to believe you.”

“But it’s true,” Huo Sicheng didn’t lie. “Your period is coming soon, and with your monthly cramps, getting angry over these things wouldn’t be good for you.”

Gu Qingcheng was surprised. She was careless and never remembered the date of her period. It was the first time someone had remembered it for her, and that someone was her beloved Huo Sicheng.

“You always say you’re going for a medical check-up when you have free time. It’s been so many days,” Huo Sicheng sighed. “But today, you still didn’t have time to go for a detailed examination to find out the cause.”

Gu Qingcheng pouted and complained, “I’ll listen to you. I’ll go for the check-up tomorrow.”

Huo Sicheng had already suppressed his desire for Gu Qingcheng. He gently came closer to her, reaching out to pull her into his arms.

“I’m not forcing you. Whenever you want to go for the check-up, you can.”

“You didn’t force me, but I’ve decided to go for the check-up tomorrow,” Gu Qingcheng nestled in Huo Sicheng’s arms, her eyes filled with tender affection. “Husband, were you really just worried about me getting angry? After saving our son, did you also scold Gu Mei?”

“Otherwise?” Huo Sicheng asked in return. “There’s nothing more important than you.”

Listening to Huo Sicheng’s words, Gu Qingcheng’s heart was like honey, and she said softly, “How did you scold Gu Mei? And she kidnapped our son and wanted to kill him, but you just let her go so easily?”

She thought Huo Sicheng would have taken Gu Mei’s life, and she would have been a bit disappointed if that had happened, considering she wanted to take revenge on Gu Mei herself.

“It’s easy to kill her, but she has the surname ‘Gu,”‘ Huo Sicheng’s eyes had a hint of darkness. “She also has conflicts with you, so I thought it would be better to leave her for you to deal with.”

Gu Qingcheng lightly poked Huo Sicheng’s chest with her delicate finger. “Your words are quite contradictory. You handed Gu Mei over to me, and you’re not afraid I’ll get angry?”

“Being angry in the heat of the moment and calmly dealing with Gu Mei are two different things,” Huo Sicheng held Gu Qingcheng’s small hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed it gently before hinting, “You’re terrifying when you’re angry.”

Gu Qingcheng muttered, “If I had found out a few days ago that Gu Mei kidnapped our son, I would have torn her apart on the spot.”

Now that she knew about Gu Mei’s actions, she didn’t have much emotional reaction. Combined with Huo Sicheng’s words, her emotions were in check, which was good for her overall health, especially with her period approaching.

Most importantly, she now had time to plan how to deal with Gu Mei instead of impulsively killing her. This was different from what she had initially planned after her rebirth.

She had to admit that her husband, Huo Sicheng, was incredibly smart.

No.

She shouldn’t describe him as smart; she should say he was strategic.

Everything was under his control, as if she were his prey, and he had not only captured her but also her heart.

“You deserve a beating, you know?” Gu Qingcheng said playfully.

Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng’s tender expression and chuckled softly. “I know I deserve a beating, but your current demeanor doesn’t seem like you want to beat me.”

“Hmph,” Gu Qingcheng snorted lightly. “There’s another question you avoided answering.”

“I used a newly researched drug on Gu Mei,” Huo Sicheng didn’t hide the truth from Gu Qingcheng. “You’ll see what kind of drug it is when you meet her.”

“How do you know I’ll meet Gu Mei?” Gu Qingcheng reached out to caress Huo Sicheng’s handsome face. “What if I choose not to?”

“You will,” Huo Sicheng affirmed.

Gu Qingcheng chuckled. His certainty was not misplaced; she would meet Gu Mei. After completing her medical check-up tomorrow, she would have time to meet Gu Mei.

That night, Huo Sicheng couldn’t sleep well. He was constantly disturbed by the flashing lights from Gu Qingcheng’s silent phone. The screen displayed three words: “Qi Shaoze,” piercing his eyes like a dagger.

It was Qi Shaoze again.

Another call from Qi Shaoze.

He couldn’t help but glance at the peaceful sleep of Gu Qingcheng, buried in his arms, her phone emitting a continuous stream of light.

The next day, Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng went to his private hospital for a thorough full-body examination.

After all the tests were done, it was already noon. Gu Qingcheng was in high spirits, and she personally cooked a meal for Huo Sicheng.

Huo Sicheng had originally intended to stay in the kitchen with Gu Qingcheng but was chased out due to the kitchen’s oily smoke.

When the doctor arrived, Huo Sicheng was reviewing some documents. Seeing this, Chu Yu gently reminded, “Mr. Huo, the test results for Mrs. Huo’s health are ready.”

Huo Sicheng looked up at the doctor but noticed something unusual in the doctor’s expression. He told Chu Yu, “Go to the kitchen and see if Mrs. Huo needs anything.”

Chu Yu quickly left to find Gu Qingcheng to prevent her from unexpectedly entering the dining room and interrupting Huo Sicheng’s conversation with the doctor.

The doctor handed Gu Qingcheng’s blood test report to Huo Sicheng with great respect. “Mr. Huo, there is a toxin in Mrs. Huo’s body.”

Huo Sicheng’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, his handsome face turning cold, and his phoenix-like eyes carried a worried darkness.

“What kind of toxin has affected my wife?”
