The valet carefully glanced at the young master’s bedroom.
He was nervous, and he didn’t dare to say anything. Huo Sicheng saw the timid look on the male servant’s face.
“Speak!”
The male servant was so frightened that his entire body trembled.
“Y-Young Master…”
“Speak!”
“It was Madam.” The male servant was terrified. “Madam bought a lot of furniture and redecorated the bedroom.’
The furious Huo Sicheng twitched.
“Mr… Mr. Zhao knows about this.” The footman was speechless when he saw the angry Huo Sicheng. “In your room, other than you, the madam, and the little master, no one else can enter. I wouldn’t dare to enter…”
“Leave.”
After the footman left, Huo Sicheng slowly entered the bedroom.
It had been a long time since he had entered this bedroom after he had been in the bathroom with Gu Qingcheng that night.
There was only one bed in the original bedroom.
The bedroom was now furnished in the Rococo style. Even the bed had been changed to a three-meter-wide piece, and on the floor was an intricate hand-embroidered lily of the valley carpet.
In the closet were her clothes.
On the table, there was a Rococo-style vase with a blooming lily of the valley. The faint fragrance of the lily of the valley in the air, like the faint fragrance of her body, entered his heart and seeped into his soul.
He had told her he wanted her to decorate their bedroom according to her preferences.
Since she had indeed decorated the bedroom according to her preferences, it must mean she had indeed planned to live a good married life with him.
The furnishings in the room looked beautiful, which warmed his heart.
He looked at the lily of the valley in front of him, and he felt as if he could see Gu Qingcheng smiling and laughing.
Her well-defined hand lifted and landed on his lips. The stinging sensation reminded him that he had kissed her, and she had bitten him.
He slowly walked to the window.
Night had fallen, and the light allowed him to see Gu Qingcheng walking slowly with Huo Xuan not far from the fountain. They looked extremely harmonious.
He rubbed his lips gently with his fingers as if he could still feel the warmth of Gu Qingcheng’s lips…
At that moment, Gu Qingcheng had no idea that Huo Sicheng was looking at her.
She held Huo Xuan’s hand and said gently, “I’m very sorry. I’ve been busy dealing with a lot of terrible things recently. I can’t accompany you. I’m very sorry.”
Recently, nothing had been going well for her.
No… That wasn’t it.
Everything was going well for her except for Huo Sicheng.
In the end, it was all Huo Sicheng’s fault.
“Mom, when will you and Dad reconcile? “Huo Xuan stopped in his tracks. He tilted his head slightly and looked at his mother with his big, clear eyes. “Lying isn’t good. You can’t lie to me just because I’m young. I can see that you’re fighting with Dad.”
Gu Qingcheng opened her mouth and finally squatted down in front of Huo
Xuan.
“I can’t hide anything from my baby. Your father and I are indeed fighting. But don’t worry. We’ll take care of our own matter.”
After saying that, she raised her hand and rubbed Huo Xuan’s head.
“Hiss…” Huo Xuan frowned and took a step back.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing Huo Xuan’s pained expression, Gu Qingcheng asked worriedly, “Did you hurt your head?”
She was very gentle and her touch would not hurt Huo Xuan, unless he had hurt his head.
“I’m fine.” Huo Xuan immediately smiled. “Mom, you and Dad have to be good to each other. You can’t keep quarreling.”
Gu Qingcheng knew Huo Xuan was smart, and she didn’t want him to change the subject.
“Tell me, what happened to your head?”
Huo Xuan pursed his lips when he saw how serious his mother was. He still did not plan to tell her.
Gu Qingcheng didn’t know how to coax children, but she was willing to learn for Huo Xuan.
“You care about me. Can’t I care about you?” She reached out and hugged Huo Xuan. His tense body slowly relaxed. She struck while the iron was hot to comfort him. “You’re my baby. I love you. Tell me, okay?”
Huo Xuan opened his mouth a few times before whispering, “The little fatty in class pushed me. I didn’t stand firm and hit the wall.”
Gu Qingcheng’s eyes turned cold. She had already sensed that something had happened to Huo Xuan.
She asked softly, “Did you tell the teacher?”
“No, I haven’t.”
Gu Qingcheng frowned and patted Huo Xuan’s little head, only to realize that the back of his head was swollen.
She quickly lifted Huo Xuan’s sleeve and saw the bruises on his arms. His cherry lips were tightly pursed.
The next moment, she lifted Huo Xuan’s clothes again, even though Huo Xuan tried her best to cover up and not let her see.
However, the child’s strength was ultimately no match for hers. When she saw the bruise on his waist, she was filled with rage, but she suppressed it in order not to scare Huo Xuan.
“Have you told your father?” she asked him in a deep voice.”
“No, I haven’t.”
Gu Qingcheng’s face darkened.” You don’t have to tell your teacher, but you have to tell your father.”
“I told Dad before, but Dad said that I’m a man and have to learn to handle my own matters. He can’t protect me forever,” Huo Xuan said softly. “I have to learn to face whatever that comes my way.”
Gu Qingcheng’s heart burned with rage when she heard Huo Xuan’s words.
She was afraid of scaring Huo Xuan, so she tried her best to hold back her anger at Huo Sicheng for not doing anything as a father.
After taking a few deep breaths, she finally regained her senses and understood why Huo Sicheng was so cruel to Huo Xuan.
After Huo Sicheng’s parents died, he had to shoulder everything on his own.
It was the same for her. After her mother passed away, she had to bear all the joys and sorrows alone.
I know too well that human emotions are cold and warm
Huo Xuan’s life was rather different from other kids. Huo Sicheng didn’t hire a private tutor to teach him at home. Instead, he sent Huo Xuan to school to study with all manner of children.
From the moment he made this decision, his goal was to let Huo Xuan shoulder everything alone.
He was right. He couldn’t protect Huo Xuan forever.
Huo Xuan was still young. She would grow up one day and face society and all kinds of people.
It would be too late if Huo Xuan waited until he grew up and familiarized himself with the cruel society that harbored kinds of demons and monsters. By then, he would definitely not be able to withstand the pressure.
She tightened her grip on Huo Xuan’s body, her heart aching.
“Baby, don’t blame your father. He’s doing this for your own good.”
This was the first time she had spoken up for Huo Sicheng recently, but she was just stating the facts. It did not mean that their issues were settled. “I know. I understand,” Huo Xuan replied obediently. “Don’t worry, Mom.” Huo Xuan was so obedient that Gu Qingcheng’s heart ached for her.
“I love you, my baby.”
Huo Xuan immediately danced happily and hugged his mother tightly. “I love you too!”
Seeing Huo Xuan so happy, Gu Qingcheng smiled brightly.
She walked with Huo Xuan for a long time but did not see Uncle Zhao. Surprised, She asked, “Hey, why don’t I see Mr. Zhao?”
“Daddy chased Mr. Zhao away.” Huo Xuan picked a magnolia and handed it to her mother with both hands. “Mom, this is a flower for you.”
“Chase Mr. Zhao away? Why?” Gu Qingcheng took the flower from Huo Xuan in surprise. “Thanks, kiddo.”
“I don’t know.” Huo Xuan shook her head. “I asked, but no one told me. Mr.
Qing was the one who sent me to school for the past two days.”
Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Xuan’s swollen head, and her eyes flashed with anger.
How dare that boy bully her son? She couldn’t hold back anymore!
“I will send you to school tomorrow.”
“Really?” Huo Xuan’s eyes sparkled. Then, something seemed to cross his mind, and he shook his head. “It’s fine. Let Mr. Qing send me.”
Gu Qingcheng didn’t understand.. “Why don’t you want me to send you?”
