Gu Qingcheng looked towards Gu Tianhao and Qin Chong.

She knew that their comments, seemingly from the perspective of elders, were actually veiled criticisms of her and Huo Sicheng’s lack of propriety.

However, this was the first time she didn’t get angry with Gu Tianhao and Qin Chong. This time, she thought they were right. As a new member of the Huo family, it was necessary for her to get to know the entire Huo family.

As for the Gu family, she didn’t feel the need to introduce Huo Sicheng to them because, in her heart, besides her mother, only her grandfather was worth introducing to Huo Sicheng.

However, her grandfather wasn’t buried in Longshan Cemetery but in a remote ancestral tomb of the Gu family in the suburbs, a journey that took five hours, so she only occasionally went there to offer flowers.

She wouldn’t go there on the anniversary of her grandfather’s death because she didn’t want to see Gu Tianhao and the others.

She looked meaningfully at Huo Sicheng, “Husband, I think what cousin said makes sense.”

Huo Sicheng, with a look of tender concern, gazed at Gu Qingcheng’s pale face, still recovering from an allergy, and said softly, “It will be tiring.”

Gu Qingcheng smiled lightly, “It’s okay.”

Qin Chong and Gu Tianhao exchanged a surprised look, not expecting Gu Qingcheng to unexpectedly agree with them, especially since their suggestions were not well-intentioned.

Huo Sicheng slowly introduced Gu Qingcheng to the Huo family members.

Gu Qingcheng earnestly remembered the ancestors of the Huo family, feeling an unprecedented sense of calm.

The gentle introduction from Huo Sicheng was a rare moment recently where she didn’t show him a cold face, and she calmly accepted him and even called him her husband.

He even wished that time could freeze at this moment, allowing him to be peacefully together with her.

But this thought lasted only a few seconds, as he knew Gu Qingcheng had more important plans of revenge.

Plans couldn’t keep up with changes. Gu Qingcheng intended to visit Diyi after paying respects to her mother, but under the current circumstances, she wouldn’t have time to return to Diyi today.

By the time she and Huo Sicheng finished meeting the Huo family members, it was already noon.

Huo Sicheng, paralyzed in both legs, was unable to kneel, but Gu Qingcheng cherished Huo Sicheng’s parents just as she loved her own mother Mu Xia.

She knelt in front of the joint tombstone of Huo Sicheng’s parents, placing fresh flowers on the jade altar.

In her view, the photo on the tombstone showed Huo Sicheng’s father handsome, with phoenix eyes identical to Huo Sicheng’s, and Huo Sicheng’s mother with a radiant and extremely beautiful smile, leaning on his father’s shoulder, showing the affection between the couple.

This was her first time seeing the couple, and she realized Huo Sicheng inherited his father’s eyes and his mother’s looks, explaining his gender-transcending beauty.

Indeed, both his parents were strikingly attractive, and Huo Sicheng inherited all their best traits.

Suddenly, she wondered if her child with Huo Sicheng would inherit her traits or Huo Sicheng’s.

As she thought about this, the image of Huo Xuan came to her mind.

Huo Xuan was adorable but did not inherit the Huo family’s phoenix eyes and didn’t resemble Huo Sicheng much; maybe he looked more like his biological mother.

She suppressed these chaotic emotions, gently gazing at her in-laws.

“Father, Mother, I am Gu Qingcheng, your daughter-in-law,” she gently said, introducing herself to Huo Sicheng’s parents, “I have a bit of a temper, but Sicheng tolerates me…”

Due to the presence of Qin Chong and Gu Tianhao, she lowered her voice, “My temper is mostly because Sicheng provokes me. The misunderstandings that arose from his and Ji Sisi’s trending topics or the anger I felt towards him, I share half the blame with him. Now, if he provokes me, it’s because he’s not being honest. He married me but is still entangled with Miss Li, making me jealous and unhappy.”

She had been holding back her feelings about Miss Li for too long and couldn’t help but vent her frustrations.

“I asked Sicheng, and he keeps telling me to wait. He easily tells me to wait, but I’m too impatient. Alas, there’s nothing I can do; I’m married to him, and I’m not unreasonable, so I can only wait for his response.”

Huo Sicheng, right beside Gu Qingcheng, heard her muttering clearly, his eyes full of distress and helplessness.

He gently brushed away the stray hair from her ear, noticing her stiffening.

Then, he saw her turn her head towards him with a look of resignation and reproach, making him feel particularly troubled as he gently stroked her head.

Gu Qingcheng noticed the change in Huo Sicheng’s expression and sighed, “I’ve said my piece; now it’s your turn.”

“I have nothing to say to my parents; everything that could be said has already been said,” Huo Sicheng told her gently, then turned to Qin Chong, “Cousin, we’re done here.”

After speaking, he leaned forward to embrace Gu Qingcheng, pulling her up into his arms to clear space in front of the grave.

Gu Qingcheng leaned comfortably in Huo Sicheng’s embrace, feeling the warmth of his body through the thin fabric, and an uncontrollable impulse towards him surged within her.

This feeling made her cheeks redden and she quickly tried to dismiss these emotions.

At this moment, Qin Chong, hearing Huo Sicheng’s words, moved his wheelchair to the front of Huo Sicheng’s parents’ grave.

Previously, he and Gu Tianhao had been standing far away, concerned only with urging Gu Tianhao to hold back and not cause unnecessary trouble.

After calming Gu Tianhao, it was his turn to come to Huo Sicheng’s parents’ grave. Seeing the couple’s photo, memories that had been sealed away flooded his mind, turning his already pale face ghostly white, his hands trembling uncontrollably on his lap.

Due to Gu Tianhao’s interruption, Gu Qingcheng’s attention refocused on Qin

Chong as he approached the tombstone of Huo Sicheng’s parents. She watched mm Intently, not DilliK1ng an eye.

When she saw a guilty shift in Qin Chong’s gaze as he looked at the photo of Huo Sicheng’s parents, a startling and unsettling thought crossed her mind and lingered.

Huo Sicheng, unaware of Gu Qingcheng’s expression, had his eyes fixed on Qin Chong, closely observing the subtle changes in his demeanor.

“Cousin, I know you are busy and seldom get the chance to visit my parents,” Huo Sicheng said in a low, emotionless voice. “Why don’t you spend some time talking to them? Back when my parents were alive, you used to come to our house almost every other day and enjoyed their company greatly.”

As Huo Sicheng spoke, Qin Chongs expression became slightly rigid.

He was aware that Huo Sicheng could save him and also knew that he had personally agreed to visit Huo Sicheng’s parents at Longshan Cemetery today.

Gu Tianhao noticed the change in Qin Chong. A flicker of panic crossed his eyes, and he feigned a sorrowful expression as he stepped forward, placing a hand on Qin Chong’s shoulder and applying subtle pressure.

“Ah Chong, I know it’s hard for you to speak because you are heartbroken seeing Sicheng’s parents. But the deceased are gone; don’t be too sad. Now that Sicheng and my daughter Qingcheng are married and doing well, you can consider it as fulfilling your duty towards his parents as a cousin.”

He paused for a moment, then added with a tone implying a moral obligation on Huo Sicheng, “Sicheng’s current well-being is all thanks to you. So, their spirits would be happy knowing this. Ah Chong, you have a life-saving grace towards Sicheng and the Huo family. You are both a cousin and a father figure to him. Going forward, Sicheng will honor you well.. Isn’t that right, Ah Chong?”
