Chapter 116: I Can’t Take His Teasing
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Qingcheng’s thoughts were interrupted by Huo Sicheng.
She locked eyes with his enchanting starry gaze, her heart racing like a startled deer, her palpitations almost uncontrollable.
“Hmm?” Huo Sicheng’s lips pressed against Gu Qingcheng’s, his hoarse voice carrying a restrained heat, “Answer me, are you unwilling?” Gu Qingcheng’s head was spinning from Huo Sicheng’s teasing.
No.
Not only was her head dizzy, her entire body was weakened by his advances, leaving her with no strength to resist.
Huo Sicheng could no longer restrain his desire for Gu Qingcheng.
He kissed her lips.
A dominant yet gentle kiss, Gu Qingcheng immersed herself, closing her eyes to feel Huo Sicheng’s kiss.
The room’s temperature rose, the atmosphere becoming ambiguous.
Only when their breaths ran out did Huo Sicheng reluctantly release Gu Qingcheng.
Huo Sicheng’s passionate kiss left Gu Qingcheng feeling dizzy and breathless.
“My body is weak,” she protested playfully, “You nearly kissed me unconscious.”
“No, I know my limits,” Huo Sicheng’s slender fingertip traced Gu Qingcheng’s dark hair as his voice turned hoarse and soft, “Be good, call me husband.”
Huo Sicheng’s deep voice was almost magical, making Gu Qingcheng obediently say, “Husband.”
“Yes, I’m here,” Huo Sicheng was pleased with Gu Qingcheng calling him husband, he chuckled lowly, “From now on, call me husband obediently.”
Gu Qingcheng was feeling disoriented from Huo Sicheng’s teasing, she responded meekly, “Okay.”
Huo Sicheng was satisfied with Gu Qingcheng’s answer and left a gentle kiss on her lips.
Only when he was about to call Li Jing, he saw Gu Qingcheng’s face showing a coquettish expression. He knew that she wanted to contact Li Jing but couldn’t express her emotions right now.
After a while, seeing her emotions gradually calming down, he immediately contacted Li Jing.
He understood her too well. Once she calmed down, thinking about their situation just now, she would definitely feel embarrassed and angry.
Thinking about how she had been teased by Huo Sicheng not too long ago, Gu Qingcheng felt an urge to smack him.
She was supposed to be discussing important matters with Li Jing, and he was causing trouble on the side.
Before she could scold Huo Sicheng, she heard Li Jing’s voice coming from the speaker.
Seeing through Huo Sicheng’s intentions, she shot him an annoyed glance and spoke, “Master, is everything ready for tomorrow’s Peach Blossom Cup? Also, should I send the clothes to Yunshan later? By the way, should you come to the Peach Blossom Cup venue with Empress Arts’ team tomorrow, or will you go by yourself?”
Before Gu Qingcheng could reply, Li Jing continued, “The red carpet starts at nine o’clock tomorrow. It’s an hour-long walk, and the preliminaries start at ten o’clock. Don’t be late. Also, regarding the task you assigned me earlier, it’s all taken care of for you. You can rest assured.”
Gu Qingcheng responded, “Okay, tomorrow…”
“Go alone tomorrow,” Huo Sicheng interrupted, “Li Jing, you can take Empress Arts’ participants to the venue. I’ll handle things for Gu Qingcheng.”
Li Jing seemed surprised by Huo Sicheng’s presence beside Gu Qingcheng. After a moment of silence, she replied, “Alright, Mr. Huo. With you taking care of Gu Qingcheng, I’m sure everything will go smoothly for her.”
After hanging up the phone, Gu Qingcheng glared at Huo Sicheng.
“Who gave you the right to make decisions for me?” She pouted in annoyance, “I wanted to go with the students.”
“Considering your weak condition, it’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble,” Huo Sicheng’s voice was tender as he spoke, “Be good.”
“I’m not being good,” Gu Qingcheng didn’t really blame Huo Sicheng but said defiantly, “I wanted to go with the students.”
“You’re physically weak. Try to avoid straining yourself,” Huo Sicheng’s eyes filled with concern, “You’re being stubborn.”
“I’m not being stubborn,” Gu Qingcheng conceded that she couldn’t argue with Huo Sicheng. Her body couldn’t handle much strain, so she added, “Send someone to get my red carpet gown from Li Jing.”
“Don’t worry about that. I told you I’d take care of it,” Huo Sicheng’s fingertip played with Gu Qingcheng’s dark hair, his voice low and soft, “Tomorrow, be cautious. Gu Mei and Chu He will be there.”
“I’ll be careful,” Gu Qingcheng’s eyes were confident, “In a public event, they can’t touch me. Besides, the event will be livestreamed. If they cause a scene, it will only embarrass them.”
She paused, a hint of malevolence flashing in her eyes, “And I won’t allow anything to go wrong with the Peach Blossom Cup.”
Her kidneys had to remain intact in her body; no one would be allowed to ruin them!
Huo Sicheng’s deep eyes showed a touch of complexity, but he didn’t say anything.
Gu Qingcheng drifted back to sleep, and by the time she woke up, it was already eleven o’clock at night.
In the room, Li Jing had prepared her red carpet gown.
What worried her, though, was her physical condition. Huo Sicheng carried her in front of the dressing table.
Watching Gu Qingcheng endure the pain with a determined expression, even while struggling to stand, Huo Sicheng felt a pang of heartache.
She was always terrifyingly strong.
Though her face had recovered from the swelling, the internal injuries caused by the steel needles made even standing a struggle, let alone walking the red carpet.
Gu Qingcheng felt like thousands of knives were slicing her legs, an excruciating pain.
It wasn’t as if she was standing on the ground; it was more like standing on the edge of a blade. But she refused to let herself surrender; she couldn’t lose to the pain.
She had endured the agony inflicted by Chu He, and she could endure this pain too!
Knowing he couldn’t stop Gu Qingcheng from participating in the Peach
Blossom Cup, Huo Sicheng tried to persuade her, “Why not use a wheelchair?”
“No,” Gu Qingcheng resolutely rejected Huo Sicheng’s suggestion, “I don’t want to use a wheelchair. I want to appear confidently in front of Chu He and Gu Mei!”
She took a step, and the sudden pain in her legs made her legs go weak. Unable to stabilize herself, she stumbled and fell heavily to the ground, completely naked.
At the doorway, Huo Sicheng heard the commotion from the bathroom, his eyes widening in shock as he hurriedly opened the bathroom door.
“Qingcheng, what’s wrong?”
