Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Huo Sicheng heard Yi Shui’s words, his distinct and pale handsome face became frosty.

Yi Shui said, “Young Master Huo, how should we handle this matter?”

Huo Sicheng didn’t respond to Yi Shui, but just hung up the phone.

Because Gu Qingcheng had gotten up and come downstairs, his eyes were filled with her presence.

Gu Qingcheng was wearing a light pink nightgown, her slender arms and long, thin legs on display, her black hair like satin falling over her shoulders. She looked sleepy and lazy as she came down the stairs.

With every step she took, it felt as though she was stepping on his heart, making it beat wildly.

Gu Qingcheng yawned, and when she felt a burning gaze on her, she paused. She looked over instinctively and saw Huo Sicheng sitting by the window, watching her tenderly. This immediately dispelled any trace of sleepiness from her.

“What are you doing here?” she asked irritably. “Didn’t I say you could sleep in any guest room? Is it fun sitting here all night?”

Huo Sicheng asked in a low, gentle voice, “How did you know I was sitting here all night?”

Gu Qingcheng choked up a bit and snorted coldly, “I didn’t know. I was just guessing.”

After saying that, she turned and went to the kitchen.

Standing in the kitchen, she bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with bitter sadness.

Just guessing?

She wasn’t just guessing. She had seen him sitting there and instantly knew that he hadn’t slept all night, which made her blurt it out.

It seems she still understood him quite well, otherwise, she wouldn’t have mentioned that he hadn’t slept.

She shook her head to clear Huo Sicheng from her mind. Understanding him was useless. He cared about her, but not as much as Miss Li.

Approaching the kitchen counter, she first cooked some millet porridge and then put on an apron to make a few quick appetizing dishes.

After she finished, she turned around to see Huo Sicheng appearing at the door. He was so quiet that she hadn’t noticed him.

Her heart, which had just calmed down, was thrown into chaos again.

Seeing Huo Sicheng’s face first thing in the morning, she was both infatuated and filled with rage.

She deliberately took out two sets of tableware, making it clear that only she and Huo Xuan would eat, and Huo Sicheng wasn’t welcome to join them.

Huo Sicheng noticed Gu Qingcheng’s action of placing the tableware and understood her rejection of him.

“Do you have plans today?” he asked as she passed by him to leave. “Huo Xuan doesn’t have classes and is resting today. If you’re not busy, could you spend some time with him? He wants to be with you.”

Gu Qingcheng paused briefly.

She had plans, but for Huo Xuan, she could postpone them.

“I’ll take care of our son.’

She left this message and departed.

Huo Sicheng visibly sighed in relief.

Gu Qingcheng went upstairs to change into a sweatshirt and tied her hair in a ponytail before heading to the guest room to find Huo Xuan.

Huo Xuan had already gotten up. Seeing his mother enter, he happily ran up and hugged her, “Good morning, Mommy.”

Gu Qingcheng bent down to hug Huo Xuan, kissing his little face tenderly,

“Baby, you’re up.”

“Yes,” Huo Xuan obediently replied, “I’ve washed up too.”

Gu Qingcheng smiled, “Mommy has prepared breakfast, let’s eat.”

“Okay,” Huo Xuan said, hugging her neck and resting his head on her shoulder.

“Mommy, I missed you so much last night. I insisted Daddy bring me to

Yunduan to see you. If you’re mad, be mad at me, not at Daddy.”

Gu Qingcheng’s heart warmed, and she spoke softly, “Mommy’s not mad. I’m thankful to your daddy for bringing you here, or I wouldn’t have you to hold right now.”

Huo Xuan visibly relaxed, seeing his mother wasn’t angry.

He had already fallen asleep last night when Daddy came home and woke him up to see Mommy.

He was happy Daddy brought him to see Mommy, but unfortunately, he fell asleep on the way and woke up in his room.

He had stayed in this room before and knew it was Mommy’s house. He was very happy when Mommy entered the room.

He thought of Daddy again, worried Mommy was still mad at him, and tried to soothe her.

Fortunately, Mommy wasn’t angry, or she would have been really upset, and Daddy would have been very sad.

“Daddy, good morning,” he said when he saw Daddy, then quickly added, “Daddy, Mommy said we should go eat.”

“I won’t eat,” Huo Sicheng looked at Huo Xuan gently and said, “Today, stay with Mommy and be good. Don’t upset her.”

“Eh…” Huo Xuan was surprised, “I can stay with Mommy today?”

“Yes,” Huo Sicheng said tenderly to Huo Xuan, “Your mommy agreed.”

“Yay!” Huo Xuan cooed to Gu Qingcheng, “I can be with Mommy today, I’m so happy.”

Gu Qingcheng doted on Huo Xuan with a smile, glancing at Huo Sicheng as he headed towards the door.

Suddenly, she felt uneasy.

She was speechless with herself. When Huo Sicheng stayed, she didn’t even want to eat with him, but when he left to eat alone, she worried his stomach condition would worsen from not eating.

When Huo Xuan realized it, his father had already left. He looked at his mother, who was holding him and heading to the dining room in a daze, and rolled his eyes and said, “Oh, Mommy, lend me your phone. I need to call Daddy to ask him to buy me watercolor pens.”

Downtrodden, Gu Qingcheng didn’t think much about handing the phone to

Huo Xuan.

Huo Xuan took the phone and sat in the chair, looking at his mom who was going to serve the meal.

He quickly opened the phone book, and was momentarily stunned when he saw that the ‘hubby’ entry in his mom’s phone book had been changed to ‘Huo Sicheng’.

Knowing that his mom changed his dad’s name in her phone, he realized that she must be very angry with his dad.

“He opened the messaging app and, mimicking his mom’s tone, sent a text to Dad: ‘Eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Don’t make me unhappy, or else I will beat you.”‘

However, upon sending the text, he became worried that his father would contact his mother when he received the text, so he quickly added another message.

‘Don’t reply to my texts, and don’t contact me.’

After sending these two messages, he hurriedly deleted the record of the texts he had sent and placed the phone on the table.

“Oh, I don’t need to call Daddy. I remembered I have a spare set of watercolor pens in my study. I’ll ask Daddy to buy me a new set after I use these up.”

Gu Qingcheng, her thoughts in disarray, didn’t think much and just said softly, “Drink the hot milk first, and eat the sunny-side-up eggs, okay? Then have some vegetables.”

“Yes, my beloved Mommy,” Huo Xuan obediently replied.

Gu Qingcheng looked at the breakfast and suddenly lost her appetite, feeling extremely irritated.

Huo Sicheng, this guy, was messing with her thoughts, making her helpless and angry at him.

Meanwhile, Huo Sicheng, sitting in the car leaving Yunduan, had his phone ring. He took it out and saw a text from Gu Qingcheng, which shook him.

He opened the message, and it felt like a ray of light had entered his heart, bringing warmth and happiness.

So, no matter how cold she was towards him, she still quietly cared.

“Ah Qing…”

Ah Qing replied, “Young Master, what are your orders?”
