Lost Control Because of Her
Huo Sicheng’s eyes were filled with gentleness when Chu Yu asked this question.
He already had an idea of what kind of gift he wanted.
Only he knew to who he was going to give this gift.
After instructing Chu Yu, he placed his right hand on his heart.
This place was only for one person, and his heart beat faster and faster.
His hoarse voice was filled with endless longing as he muttered, “Qingcheng…”
Atchoo…
Gu Qingcheng, who had left Huo Corporation long ago and was driving to school, sneezed. “Who’s missing me?”
As she spoke, she looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her face was no longer red, and she let out a sigh of relief.
However, she couldn’t help but think of Huo Siheng kissing her seductively again. Her cheeks burned, and she quickly cleared her mind to calm herself down.
After her rebirth, she only cared about chasing Huo Sicheng and setting up an investigation into her mother’s death. She only had the time to go to school now.
She rarely went to school unless there was an emergency. Usually, when she came, she would deal with many things. When she was done, it would be six in the evening before she hurried back to Wanmei Villa.
She asked Huo Sicheng’s butler if he was coming back, but she was confused when she found out he had just returned.
She had never held hands or kissed Qin Jun when they were dating. Therefore, other than the first night she kissed Huo Sicheng, Huo Sicheng was the first man in her life to kiss her. The feelings he gave her were unique.
This was also after the ambiguous scene between them during the day. She was so embarrassed that she didn’t know how to face Huo Sicheng, so she didn’t go to the dining room and went back to her room.
In the empty room, the suitcase she had brought was untouched. There were no maids in Wanmei Villa, and this was Huo Sicheng’s bedroom. No one dared to come in and help her pack her luggage.
Moreover, there was no wardrobe in the room for her to put her clothes in. She opened the suitcase and took a nightgown to the bathroom. After a tiring day, she just wanted to take a comfortable bath.
At that moment, Huo Sicheng glanced at his Cartier watch. It was already nine o’clock, and Gu Qingcheng hadn’t shown up. He frowned slightly.
Mr. Zhao coaxed Huo Xuan to sleep and went to the dining room. He looked at the table full of spicy dishes helplessly.
When he found out that Gu Qingcheng was cooking in the kitchen that afternoon, he was surprised that someone like her would cook.
He had thought he would be lucky if she didn’t blow up the kitchen, but after Gu Qingcheng left, he entered the kitchen and found that she had cleaned it up very well. However, the pungent smell of chili in the air told him what she was cooking.
Huo Sicheng had called him to tell him to cook spicy dishes before he returned. He called Chu Yu to find out what had happened and was very unhappy.
“Young Master, please remember that you have sinusitis, a weak stomach, and a shrimp allergy. I’ll tell Madam about this and tell her not to cook dishes you can’t eat,” he said lovingly.
Huo Sicheng took a deep look at the red marks on the back of his hand.
Of course, he knew that he was allergic to these foods, but Gu Qingcheng making an effort to cook meant that she loved him.
Therefore, when he saw those vegetables, he only had one thought in his mind.
For her, he did not tell her or reject her.
“If you tell her, you’ll have to leave immediately,” he said.
Mr. Zhao was shocked. He had been in the Huo family for 50 years. He had watched Huo Sicheng grow up and respected him very much. This was the first time he had seen Huo Sicheng say something so serious.
He hated Gu Qingcheng even more. If it weren’t for her, Huo Sicheng wouldn’t have done this to him.
But no matter how much he hated Gu Qingcheng, he didn’t want to see Huo Sicheng skip dinner to wait for her.
“Young Master, Madam came back an hour ago.” With a wave of his hand, the male servant respectfully brought a light and nutritious dinner and placed it in front of Huo Sicheng. He said meaningfully, “The servant told Madam you were waiting for her in the dining room for dinner. However, not only did she not come, but she also did not come out of the room. So you don’t have to wait for Madam. She obviously won’t accompany you for dinner.”
Mr. Zhao’s words were like a glass of hot water poured into Huo Sicheng’s heart, hurting him greatly.
He turned to look at the exquisite gift box on the table, and a trace of bitterness flashed across his eyes.
She suddenly appeared at noon just to accompany him for lunch, which made him very happy.
He had waited for her that night, and she knew that he was waiting for her to have dinner with him, but she was unwilling to meet him.
As expected, she still treated him like a toy, playing with him if she liked him and throwing him aside if she didn’t.
“Throw the gift away.”
After saying that, he pushed the wheelchair and left the dining room.
Mr. Zhao was about to speak when he fell silent again.
Actually, the servant didn’t tell Gu Qingcheng that the young master was waiting for her in the dining room. He had deliberately set Gu Qingcheng up because he didn’t want the young master to treat her too well. She wasn’t a good woman, and she certainly didn’t deserve the young master’s kindness.
However, after the young master heard his deliberately provocative words, the bitterness in the young master’s eyes made his heart ache.
He couldn’t help but look at the gift box that his young master had specially bought for Gu Qingcheng, and his gaze was complicated.
Huo Sicheng was furious at Mr. Zhao’s words. He walked to the bedroom door with undisguised anger on his face and opened it.
At first glance, he only saw an open suitcase. He didn’t see Gu Qingcheng until his eyes stopped on the bathroom door.
At that moment, Gu Qingcheng had already dozed off in the spacious bathtub. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. She opened her eyes abruptly and realized that the cold water had caused her legs to cramp.
After rubbing her cramped leg to relieve the pain, she slipped and fell into the water when she got up from the cold water.
“Ahh!!!” She cried out in pain.
When Huo Sicheng heard Gu Qingcheng’s scream, he was shocked. He couldn’t care less about his anger towards her, so he opened the door and rushed into the bathroom.
Gu Qingcheng was actually very afraid of water. She had almost drowned when she was little, but she could still bathe. However, when her body fell into the bathtub uncontrollably, her nose and mouth choked on the water. It evoked her fear of water, and she frantically reached out to grab everything that could save her.
A pair of strong arms wrapped around Gu Qingcheng’s slender waist, trying to pull her out of the water.
Gu Qingcheng had lost her cool, and her desire to live made her use all her strength to hug the person beside her.
Huo Sicheng was dragged into the bathtub by Gu Qingcheng, but he managed to pull her into his arms in time to prevent her from choking on the water.
Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng were soaked in the water, their bodies pressed against each other. Although they were separated by a layer of clothing, they could still feel each other’s bodies.
Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng from head to toe, especially her curvy body lying on top of him. The sweet scent of her body made every cell in his blood burn.
Gu Qingcheng, panting, was shocked to see Huo Sicheng standing so close to her.
Wait a minute! Why was Huo Sicheng in the bathtub?
She subconsciously looked down at herself, and her mind went blank. She was naked in Huo Sicheng’s arms and wrapped around him like an octopus.
Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng, who was blushing to her ears and looking so beautiful. His breathing became erratic.
Damn it, did she know how alluring she was right now?
“I-I…” Gu Qingcheng tried to explain herself, but she couldn’t say a word.
She was so embarrassed that she wished she could just drown. She just wanted to get up from Huo Sicheng and twist her body in his arms.
Huo Sicheng’s body was burning up, and he looked at Gu Qingcheng with a longing in his eyes.
The sudden twist of Gu Qingcheng in his arms triggered his instincts and caused the desire he had been trying so hard to suppress and the last bit of rationality he had to go out the window.
Raising his hand, he clasped the back of her head and kissed her on the lips.
He greedily sucked in Gu Qingcheng’s sweet scent and slid his hand down…
