Chapter 268: You Don’t Even Want Me?

Gu Qingcheng’s expression became even darker.

She had originally planned to inherit the legacy left to her by her grandfather and then make her own will, naming Huo Sicheng as the beneficiary.

In this way, she would have an heir. After her death, Gu Tianhao would still not get any of her inheritance, as everything would belong to Huo Sicheng.

That night, Huo Sicheng had been furious with her, and now he had betrayed her.

Her will, and the matter of inheriting her grandfather’s estate, had thrown her into confusion and indecision.

Fu Nanjue watched Gu Qingcheng intently, observing the changes in her expression.

“Let’s just have tea tonight,” he said understandingly. “We can talk about the inheritance another time.”

Warmed by Fu Nanjue’s behavior, Gu Qingcheng replied softly, “Yes, we can talk about the inheritance another time.”

After chatting with Fu Nanjue for a while, she asked, “I still don’t understand why my grandfather left his inheritance to me.”

Fu Nanjue, sipping his tea, replied, “I’ve told you before, there are some things you should ask Gu Tianhao about.”

Unable to get the answers she wanted from Fu Nanjue, Gu Qingcheng didn’t pursue the matter further.

They drank tea until eleven at night before she left.

By the time she returned to Yunduan, it was already one-thirty in the morning.

She entered the living room and was about to turn on the light.

“Don’t turn on the light,” Huo Sicheng’s deep and magnetic voice sounded.

Startled by Huo Sicheng’s voice, Gu Qingcheng shuddered and turned in astonishment towards the direction of his voice.

The room was too dark for her to see Huo Sicheng; she could only feel his gentle gaze upon her.

How dare he break into her home again!

The new fingerprint lock on her house was like a mere decoration in front of him.

These past few days, she couldn’t bear to see Huo Sicheng, as seeing him would uncontrollably trigger her emotions, leading to an outburst of anger.

“Huo…”

As soon as Huo Sicheng heard Gu Qingcheng raise her voice in anger towards him, he quickly interjected, “The child is asleep.”

Gu Qingcheng’s angry shout was abruptly halted, and she covered her mouth with her hand, fearing she might wake up Huo Xuan.

She turned on the dim light in the living room and finally saw Huo Sicheng sitting by the window, holding the sleeping Huo Xuan in his arms.

“Why aren’t you using a room? The baby is asleep; can’t you put him in a bed?” she complained, walking over to Huo Sicheng to take Huo Xuan. “Give me the child; I’ll take him to his room to sleep.”

As Gu Qingcheng bent over to pick up Huo Xuan, she came into close contact with Huo Sicheng, her breath filled with his unique cold fragrance, which seemed to penetrate her soul, making her body tremble.

“I’ll take Huo Xuan to the room,” Huo Sicheng said, holding Gu Qingcheng’s hand to avoid waking the child.

When Huo Sicheng grasped her hand, she felt the warmth of his palm, but it startled her like an electric shock, causing her to hastily withdraw her hand.

Her heart was in turmoil, and even her breathing became erratic.

“You… take Huo Xuan to my room, I… I’ll go wash up…”

Saying this, she quickly left Huo Sicheng.

Huo Sicheng watched Gu Qingcheng as if she were fleeing. There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes as he carried Huo Xuan to the elevator and went upstairs.

He did not put Huo Xuan in Gu Qingcheng’s bedroom but gently laid him on the bed in the guest room, covering the child with a thin blanket.

Gu Qingcheng was downstairs removing her makeup and washing up. As she stepped out of the dressing room, she saw Huo Sicheng waiting at the door.

“Why do you come uninvited?” Her previously calm demeanor turned displeased. “Is this your house? Do you think you can just come and go as you please? Hacking my fingerprint lock, breaking into my home, you…”

Her accusations against Huo Sicheng stopped abruptly because he handed her a document.

“Enough already!” She didn’t look at the document; just seeing Huo Sicheng hand it to her reminded her of past grievances and made her extremely annoyed. “I’ve told you time and again, I don’t want your Huo Corporation, I don’t want your energy company, I don’t want anything to do with you!”

Huo Sicheng felt a pang in his heart, and with a hoarse voice, he asked Gu

Qingcheng, “Does that include me? You don’t want me either?”

Gu Qingcheng felt a dull pain, like a blunt knife twisting in her heart. She avoided Huo Sicheng’s gaze and bit her lip, unable to speak.

Seeing Gu Qingcheng silent, Huo Sicheng asked with a glimmer of hope, “Answer me, do you not want me either?”

“I don’t want to deal with you,” Gu Qingcheng turned to leave.

Huo Sicheng grabbed Gu Qingcheng’s wrist urgently, “Answer me.”

Gu Qingcheng shook off Huo Sicheng’s hand, her face pale with anger, “Don’t touch me.”

After saying this, she turned to leave.

“I did go abroad to meet someone,” Huo Sicheng said, seeing Gu Qingcheng about to leave. “But it was for business, and then to take Huo Xuan for treatment. After the business was settled, Huo Xuan and I returned to Jiangcheng immediately.”

Gu Qingcheng paused in her steps. She didn’t turn back to look at Huo Sicheng, only listening to his words with a sense of irony.

He said he went abroad for business?

What business?

He went to profess his love to his first love, Miss Li!

“Your affairs are none of my concern,” she continued walking. “You don’t need to tell me.”

“If I don’t tell you, you’ll argue with me,” Huo Sicheng said gravely. “However, I can’t tell you who I met.”

Gu Qingcheng felt even more pain in her heart.

Huo Sicheng met someone and couldn’t tell her? She was his wife, yet he said he couldn’t tell her.

It’s just Miss Li, what’s there to hide?

Forget it, she was too tired to listen to his nonsense.

Her good mood from slapping Qin Chong and others in the face earlier today had been completely ruined by him. She was too tired after a busy day and had no mood to argue with him.

Huo Sicheng watched as Gu Qingcheng walked away. He called out again, “Qingcheng… ”

Gu Qingcheng laughed mockingly.

Qingcheng, always Qingcheng!

Would calling her ‘wifey’ cost him his life?

She was very irritated, annoyed at Zhao Shu for telling her these things, and at Huo Sicheng for hiding Miss Li.

In fact, she had known about Miss Li’s existence for a long time. He really didn’t need to hide Miss Li from her.

She didn’t want to dwell on these complicated issues. She was too tired and just wanted to go to her room to sleep.

At this moment, she didn’t stay for Huo Sicheng, just coldly left him with, “It’s late, I won’t kick you out. There are plenty of guest rooms, you can stay in any, but don’t come to my room.”

Huo Sicheng’s breath hitched.

Deep into the night, he didn’t go to any guest room to rest. He sat by the living room window, looking at the garden lights, engulfed in the sorrow of being cold-shouldered by Gu Qingcheng.

The morning sun shone over Jiangcheng, but Huo Sicheng felt no trace of sleepiness. Every minute, every second of Gu Qingcheng’s heartlessness was like a knife brutally slicing through his body and soul, causing him unbearable pain.

Suddenly, his phone rang, jolting him from his pain.

He took out his phone from his pocket and saw the caller was Yi Shui. He answered the call.

On the other end, Yi Shui spoke respectfully, “Young Master Huo, we’ve found out who Madam met at the children’s playground that day.” Huo Sicheng’s eyes sharpened as he asked Yi Shui, “Who?”
