Chapter 9

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Qingcheng had always wanted to marry Huo Sicheng but never thought that they would have to share a bed after marriage.

The thought of her sleeping with him made her feel uneasy, and a sense of shyness grew in her heart.

She subconsciously glanced at the marriage certificate, reminding herself that she and Huo Sicheng were already husband and wife.

As Huo Sicheng had said, husband and wife, had to sleep together. She was already his wife, so she had no reason to sleep in a separate room.

“Are you going to eat me to my bones?” She pretended to be calm and teased Huo Sicheng. “It’s not certain who will eat who.”

Huo Sicheng’s eyes darkened, and he said meaningfully, “Try it?”

Gu Qingcheng’s face turned even redder, and she couldn’t say anything.

It was clear enough that he was in a wheelchair. It was already good enough that he did not let her help him to the bed. Yet, he still wanted to have her? He was really unrealistic.

In the end, he wanted to try it out with her, and she admitted that she was afraid. Even if everyone in Jiang City knew that he was disabled, she was not prepared to be naked in front of him.

Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng, who had been defeated and raised an eyebrow. “Follow me back to my room.”

Gu Qingcheng followed Huo Sicheng into the bedroom.

It was her first time visiting Huo Sicheng’s house, but she had already married him. She entered his bedroom. When she stood in the bedroom and looked at the furnishings, she was very surprised because Huo Sicheng’s bedroom only had a big bed and no other furnishings.

Huo Sicheng took in Gu Qingcheng’s shocked expression and said meaningfully, “Just tell Uncle Zhao how you like to decorate it.”

Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng. Under the light, he exuded an air of indifference, as if telling her that he didn’t care about anything in this world, just as he didn’t care about the emptiness of his bedroom.

She suddenly felt very sad. This room told her that Huo Sicheng had always been alone. This loneliness was engraved in his bones and froze his heart. He could not tolerate anyone or anything.

However, she was also delighted because his words told her he was willing to open his closed heart to accept her.

She smiled sweetly at him. Fortunately, she was not stupid. If it were a girl who was a little stupid, she would not have understood the deeper meaning of his last sentence.

“Then I have to think about how to decorate our wedding room.” She winked at him mischievously. “I want our room to be warm and full of love.”

Huo Sicheng’s dark eyes flashed with joy at Gu Qingcheng’s words, but his face remained cold as he said, “Don’t be so confident. You’re not a patient person.”

Gu Qingcheng understood what Huo Sicheng meant by saying that she didn’t have the patience to learn to love him.

He still didn’t believe her. She wasn’t angry and just smiled at him. “I told you to give me time.”

He would give her time to use her sincerity to dispel his distrust of her and let him know that her love for him was not just for show.

Huo Sicheng’s phoenix eyes were like the depths of a karst cave. He stared at Gu Qingcheng with a dark, bottomless gaze, then turned and walked toward the door.

“Sleep early.”

Gu Qingcheng was surprised that Huo Sicheng had forced her to sleep in the same room as him. Now that she was going to sleep, he was leaving.

“Where are you going?”

“I have something to deal with.” Huo Sicheng didn’t stop. He said coldly, “I’m not going back to my room to sleep tonight.”

Gu Qingcheng watched Huo Sicheng leave. She pursed her lips and walked to the bed. Her long fingers caressed the blanket, and she slowly leaned over and buried her head in the pillow.

Her nose was filled with Huo Sicheng’s unique fragrance, leaving her greedy and heart throbbing.

He must have known she wasn’t ready to sleep with him, so he took the initiative to leave her to avoid awkwardness.

“Huo Sicheng…” She murmured his name and carved it on her heart.

It was great that she had successfully married him. He would be her everything for the rest of her life.

Huo Sicheng did not leave the bedroom immediately. He stared at the closed door with a complicated look in his eyes.

“What exactly do you want from me?” His voice was low as if he was asking himself and Gu Qingcheng.

“Young Master Huo.” At this moment, a respectful voice sounded.

Huo Sicheng’s thoughts were interrupted. He turned around and saw a handsome man in a black trench coat.

He didn’t say anything and just turned around to go to the study.

In the huge study, he sat by the window. The moonlight outside the window fell on him, bathing him in a layer of chilling, holy light.

He was no longer as calm as he usually was when facing Gu Qingcheng. He was like a completely different person, cold and emotionless. He exuded a fierce and domineering aura, like a king looking down on all living beings.

“Young Master Huo, I’ve found out that the fatigued driver driving did not cause Old Master and Madam’s accident, but the brakes of Old Master’s car malfunctioned.” Yi Shui respectfully handed the document to Huo Sicheng with both hands. “There’s a detailed account of what happened here. After the car accident, the person who murdered Master and Madam sent people to kill those workers to prevent the secret from being leaked. However, one of the workers faked his death and escaped. That was how I found him. He’s now under my control and protection. ”

When Huo Sicheng’s eyes fell on the name of the murderer who had killed his parents, he was filled with murderous intent.

When Yi Shui felt Young Master Huo’s murderous intent that could destroy the world, he lowered his head in fear.

Huo Sicheng was like a demon that had just appeared from hell, his phoenix eyes red with killing intent.

“He really killed my parents.”

“Young Master Huo, I’ll kill him immediately to avenge Master and Madam.” Yi Shui said and was about to leave.

Huo Sicheng’s eyes were filled with hatred and killing intent. “No, I can’t! Let him live.”

As Young Master Huo’s personal bodyguard, Yi Shui already knew what Young Master Huo was thinking.

Death was too easy for a person. If one wanted to die but couldn’t, living in pain was the most terrifying thing.

Young Master Huo had been in pain since he lost his parents. He would not let his enemy die so easily. It was because Young Master Huo would let his parents’ murderer live to watch everything they cherished get destroyed bit by bit!

After a long time, Huo Sicheng restrained his killing intent and said coldly, “Find out what Qin Jun has done recently to anger Gu Qingcheng!”

“Yes, Young Master Huo.”

“Young Master, Little Young Master played for a long time before he fell asleep.” After Yi Shui left, the butler, Mr. Zhao, walked into the study. He asked Huo Sicheng in confusion and anger, “Young Master, how can you marry Miss Gu? She had never been a good person since she was young! The way she insulted you, I still hate her even now.

“Besides, she’s your nephew Qin Jun’s girlfriend.” He paused for a moment. “The Qin and Huo families have always had a close relationship. After Master and Madam passed away, Master Qin has always helped the Huo family. The Qin family is indebted to you. Gu Qingcheng isn’t worth it for you to have a falling out with the Qin family.

“Young Master, I’ve watched you grow up. You’re very outstanding. If you want to marry someone, you should marry a noble lady from a prestigious family, not a woman with a bad record like Gu Qingcheng.” Seeing that the young master was ignoring him, he tried to persuade him. “I beg you, young master, don’t let Gu Qingcheng seduce you and make you lose yourself. Young Master, please divorce her tomorrow morning and chase her out of the villa. How about that?”
