Chapter 365 - 365: I Only Love You
“I’ve been observant and did my research on her, just as I did with Qin Chong and the others.”
Gu Qingcheng was momentarily surprised, then she laughed.
“Oh, my mind is a bit slow today. You did mention investigating Qin Chong and others, so naturally, you would have looked into Bai Si too.”
“You must be exhausted,” Huo Sicheng said, wrapping his arms gently around Gu Qingcheng’s waist. “You haven’t rested for over a day, and today will be long too. If there’s a celebration tonight, you’ll be even busier. Going two days and nights without sleep will wear you out, affecting your reaction time.” Gu Qingcheng smiled lightly.
“I hadn’t thought of an excuse, but you’ve come up with quite a few valid reasons for my forgetfulness.”
“It’s not just an excuse,” Huo Sicheng said, placing one arm tenderly around her waist and his other hand on her head. “You truly are tired. Rest a bit, lie down and sleep for a while. I’ll wake you when we get to Diyi.” Gu Qingcheng gently shook her head. “No, I don’t want to.”
Huo Sicheng softly coaxed her. “Just rest for a bit.”
“I’d rather not sleep,” Gu Qingcheng insisted. “Sleeping poorly will only make me feel worse. I have so much to do at school, and there’s so much I want to tell you.”
Huo Sicheng, doting on Gu Qingcheng, couldn’t argue with her wishes.
“Alright, we won’t sleep. I’m here to listen to you.”
Gu Qingcheng, her head resting on Huo Sicheng’s chest, turned and hugged his strong waist tightly, sitting in his lap, nestled in his embrace.
“Bai Si’s concern for Gu Tianhao suggests she still has deep feelings for him, ” she mused.
“Yes,” Huo Sicheng agreed.
“I’m curious how Qin Chong will react to this,” Gu Qingcheng pondered thoughtfully. “Let’s not delve into their relationship further. I’m more intrigued about whv Oin Chong arrived at the hospital so early this morning.”
“Qin Chong had someone at the hospital yesterday,” Huo Sicheng explained, “So it’s not surprising he knew Bai Si was there.”
Gu Qingcheng looked surprised. “Imagine Qin Chong’s feelings, seeing his wife Bai Si staying at the hospital instead of returning home. If she were unfaithful, it would surely upset him.”
“I don’t think Qin Chong will overthink it,” Huo Sicheng said.
“Why not?” Gu Qingcheng asked.
“Bai Si is very astute,” Huo Sicheng pointed out. “She’s careful not to be caught. Plus, she visited the hospital openly with you. If Qin Chong questions her presence, she can easily explain that you asked her to accompany you.”
Gu Qingcheng paused, taken aback. “I even requested Bai Si to take care of Gu Tianhao in the hospital for me. Now her reason for being there seems even more justified.”
“It’s a minor issue,” Huo Sicheng reassured her.
“Yes, all these are trivial matters, ” Gu Qingcheng agreed, reflecting. “I didn’t see Gu Tianhao the first time I could’ve come. Even when Bai Si called, I was hesitant to go. It wasn’t until she repeatedly apologized on behalf of Gu Tianhao that I felt compelled to visit the hospital.”
“When I arrived, Gu Tianhao had just woken up. I saw him in the ward,” she recalled, her expression revealing unmasked loathing. “Do you know? He was lying there, covered in tubes, his face pale as paper, devoid of his usual arrogance. He was just a dying old man.”
Feeling Gu Qingcheng’s grip tighten around his waist and her breathing grow heavier, Huo Sicheng sensed the shift in her tone from calm to vengeful.
She hated Gu Tianhao, and he knew it.
“I won’t let Gu Tianhao die,” Gu Qingcheng declared, her eyes burning with determination as she looked at Huo Sicheng. “I want him to live. To live and lose everything.”
Huo Sicheng gazed at her, then leaned down to kiss her.
“Hubby, ” Gu Qingcheng requested, “destroy all the projects in Gu Corporation.”
“Alright,” Huo Sicheng agreed readily.
He was willing to do anything she asked.
“No,” Gu Qingcheng reconsidered, shaking her head. “I can’t have you destroy Gu Corporation. I don’t want you to take the blame. It’s better to leave it as is. When Gu Tianhao personally takes over, I want Gu Corporation to crumble in Rivertown.”
Huo Sicheng kissed her forehead again. “As you wish.”
Gu Qingcheng looked into his eyes, filled with love and gentleness, never questioning her, always supporting her unconditionally. Her murderous intent softened into tenderness.
“It’s so good to have you, hubby.”
“It’s great to have you too, ” Huo Sicheng responded.
Gu Qingcheng blushed slightly and said, “Honey, don’t get involved in my plans. I want to handle Gu Tianhao and the others myself.”
“Alright,” Huo Sicheng agreed.
He would support her decisions, no matter what.
Gu Qingcheng kissed Huo Sicheng. “Actually, I’m still a little uneasy, ” she admitted.
“Tell me, ” he encouraged.
“It’s Bai Si’s words that bother me,” Gu Qingcheng hinted. “She said that Gu Tianhao and I are father and daughter, as if there can’t be any irreparable rifts overnight. But what kind of father is he? Gu Tianhao doesn’t deserve to be called a father.”
Huo Sicheng looked at her with empathy.
Gu Qingcheng reflected on how Gu Tianhao had wronged her, feeling only hatred for him.
“Hubby, you can’t test for parenthood. You’ll never know how cruel some parents can be.”
“The test might not screen out malicious parents,” Huo Sicheng agreed gently.
“It depends on the person.”
“That’s true,” Gu Oingcheng said with a bitter smile. “That’s why Bai Si’s apologies on Gu Tianhao’s behalf irk me so much.
“It’s obvious I’ve observed her, and investigated her just as I did Qin Chong and
the others.”
Gu Oingcheng was momentarily taken aback, then she laughed.
“Ah, my mind is too slow. You told me before that you had investigated Qin
Chong and the others, so of course, you must have investigated Bai Si too.”
“You’re tired.” Huo Sicheng wrapped his arms around Gu Qingcheng’s slender waist. “You haven’t rested for a day and a night, and today is another day ahead. If there’s a celebration banquet tonight, you’ll be busy again. Not sleeping for two days and nights will make you exhausted, and your brain will become sluggish.”
Gu Qingcheng laughed.
“I hadn’t even thought of a reason, but you’ve found so many legitimate excuses for me, explaining why I forgot about you mentioning investigating Qin Chong and the others.”
“It’s not an excuse.” Huo Sicheng embraced Gu Qingcheng, one hand around her waist, the other gently cradling her head, letting her lean on his chest. “You really are tired. Be good, lie down and sleep for a while. I’ll wake you up when we get to Diyi.”
Gu Oingcheng gently shook her head, “No.”
Huo Sicheng coaxed her, “Be good, sleep for a while.”
“I don’t want to sleep,” Gu Qingcheng still refused to sleep. “It’s uncomfortable if I don’t sleep well. I’d better not sleep. I have a lot of things to do at school.
And I have so much to tell you.”
Huo Sicheng doted on Gu Qingcheng and couldn’t argue with her.
“Okay, we won’t sleep. I’ll listen to you.”
Initially, Gu Qingcheng was resting her head on Huo Sicheng’s chest, but then she turned to the side, hugging his sturdy waist like an octopus, straddling his lap, and lying in his arms.
“Bai Si cares so much about Gu Tianhao, it shows she still loves him very much.”

Huo Sicheng: “Yeah.”
“I wonder what Oin Chong will think,” Gu Oingcheng mused thoughtfully. “Let’s not talk about their love square anymore. But I am curious why Qin Chong came to the hospital so early in the morning..”
