Chapter 384 - 384: Huo Sicheng, I’m Pregnant
Seeing Gu Qingcheng’s intense reaction, the butler immediately realized he had spoken out of turn and quickly bowed his head in silence.
Gu Qingcheng’s face, which was previously flushed from Huo Xuan’s comments, suddenly turned pale at the mention of Miss Li.
She noticed the butler’s fearful behavior with her ashen face.
Her heart was racing, not with the excitement caused by Huo Sicheng’s flirtations, but with panic and nervousness.
“I asked you a question,” she said after taking a deep breath, her voice stern.
“You told me Miss Li called, right?”
The butler bowed his head even lower, not daring to make a sound.
“Don’t test my patience.” Seeing the butler’s silence, Gu Qingcheng’s anger flared, and she demanded, “Speak!”
Terrified, the butler trembled all over and cautiously replied, “To answer
Madam, yes, it was a call from a Miss Li.”
If Gu Qingcheng initially thought she had misheard, now she clearly understood the butler’s confirmation that Miss Li had indeed called Huo Sicheng late at night.
She clenched her fists, her face darkening with anger as she asked the butler, “What does Miss Li want with Huo Sicheng in the middle of the night?”
The butler, trembling even more, knew he couldn’t evade Madam’s question.
“Madam, I don’t know why Miss Li was looking for the young master,” he hurriedly informed Gu Qingcheng, then continued, “When Miss Li called the villa, I answered. She was crying, asking where Uncle Zhao was. I told her
Uncle Zhao no longer works here, and she asked me to find the young master.
She… she…”
“What about her?” asked Gu Qingcheng.
“She… she was crying, saying she needed the young master,” the butler stammered, “She said… she…”
“What did she say?” Gu Qingcheng demanded, teeth clenched in anger.
The butler revealed, “She said she’s pregnant and asked the young master to immediately fly to France to accompany her, she…”
Boom—
Hearing the word “pregnant,” Gu Qingcheng’s mind exploded like a bomb, leaving her in a dazed state, with the ringing in her ears from Huo Sicheng’s earlier affection.
Pregnant?
Miss Li is pregnant?
Pregnant with Huo Sicheng’s child?
Yes.
Miss Li must be pregnant with Huo Sicheng’s child, otherwise why would she call him in the middle of the night, insisting that she’s pregnant and needs him?
France.
Her mind uncontrollably flashed back to her last trip to Nice, France, where she reconciled with Huo Sicheng after their dispute and encountered the detestable Renila.
At that time, she mistakenly thought Renila was Huo Sicheng’s first love, but it turned out to be Miss Li.
If Miss Li was in France, did Huo Sicheng go to Nice specifically to meet her? Gu Qingcheng had followed him to Nice after seeing bloodstains, and with her there, he couldn’t continue dating Miss Li, so they returned to Jiangcheng together.
Her head buzzed with thoughts ot Huo Sicheng’s betrayal, all these terrible emotions flooding her mind simultaneously.
Pain.
Her head ached, but it was nothing compared to the heartache.
Her heart felt as if it was being pierced by numerous knives, each one stabbing relentlessly, even twisted by invisible hands, causing her soul to feel like it was being torn apart.
So painful.
Too painful.
“What the hell are you talking about?” Gu Qingcheng’s heart felt as if it was being stabbed by countless knives, each one causing excruciating pain, as if even her soul was being torn apart..
