Gu Qingcheng’s eyes widened in surprise.

She leaned against Huo Sicheng’s solid chest, looking at him with a mix of shyness and astonishment as his brilliant, fiery gaze met hers.

In Huo Sicheng’s eyes, she saw his deep, passionate love for her, along with an undisguised longing.

His gaze made her face flush and her heart race, her body involuntarily becoming soft and weak, drowning in the starry light of his eyes.

“So, you locked the door on purpose,” she said in a soft, sweet voice, so melodious that she couldn’t believe she was capable of producing such a sound.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked Huo Sicheng meaningfully, “What would you do if I said I wasn’t ready?”

Huo Sicheng, restraining and enduring his own needs for Gu Qingcheng, replied in a hoarse voice, “I would hold you and go to sleep.”

Gu Qingcheng was surprised, “Just like that?”

“Yes,” Huo Sicheng responded in a low, husky voice.

“Why?” Gu Qingcheng asked.

Huo Sicheng whispered passionately and tenderly in her ear, his kisses gently landing on her earlobe. He felt her body tremble as he held her tighter, saying, “Because I want you when you are ready, willing to accept me.” He spoke softly but with deep emotion, “I won’t force you in the slightest if you disagree.”

Gu Qingcheng felt the warm breath of Huo Sicheng brushing against her ear, causing a thrilling sensation to rise from deep within her heart.

It was both ticklish and numbing.

This joyous feeling spread from her ears throughout her body, making her breathing heavier, as if she was floating.

She liked it.

She liked this wonderful feeling Huo Sicheng brought her.

But more than that, she cherished the words he spoke, which showed his respect for her.

“Hubby…”

“I’m here,” Huo Sicheng replied.

Gu Qingcheng bit her lower lip, knowing she was ready that night, and shyly said, “I…”

Just then, a knock at the door interrupted her. Gu Qingcheng’s words were abruptly cut off, and the floating sensation she felt because of Huo Sicheng instantly returned to calm.

Huo Sicheng’s figure stiffened, a flash of annoyance in his eyes.

Even with the door locked, Huo Xuan still came knocking!

“Uh…” Gu Qingcheng, catching her breath, pushed Huo Sicheng slightly and stood up from his embrace, saying in a low, soft voice, “It must be our son. I’ll go open the door…”

Huo Sicheng grabbed her hand, “Don’t open the door.”

“What if our son had a nightmare?” Gu Qingcheng remembered that Huo Xuan often knocked on their door at night when scared by a bad dream. “He’s still young and needs us when he has nightmares.”

Huo Sicheng’s grip on Gu Qingcheng’s hand tightened as she pulled away, then he grabbed her hand again.

“Tell me what you were going to say first.”

Gu Qingcheng’s cheeks flushed, and she withdrew her hand from his, her eyes shyly avoiding his gaze as she teased, “Guess.”

Huo Sicheng’s gaze on Gu Qingcheng grew even more intense, his lips parting slightly as he asked in a magnetic, deep voice, “I won’t guess, you tell me.”

“You go lie down on the bed first, and I’ll bring our son into the room…” Gu Qingcheng smiled shyly, hinting at something more to Huo Sicheng, “Then I’ll tell you the answer.”

Huo Sicheng loved the charming beauty of Gu Qingcheng, watching her with breaths that grew more erratic.

“Alright,” he responded in a hoarse voice and moved to the bed.

As Gu Qingcheng turned to walk towards the door, he rose from his wheelchair effortlessly and lay down on the bed.

But his brow furrowed, full of restrained passion and displeasure.

The door was locked, and he had warned Huo Xuan, yet he still couldn’t prevent him from disturbing his and Gu Qingchenz’s intimate moment.

Yet the scared look on Huo Xuan’s face when he had nightmares also pained him.

He endured.

He forcefully suppressed the raging desire inside him, trying hard to calm down.

At that moment, Gu Qingcheng opened the locked door to find her son standing there in his pajamas, holding a large box with an angelic expression on his face, showing no sign of having had a nightmare.

Then, she stepped out of the bedroom, closing the door behind her.

She realized that Huo Xuan hadn’t had a nightmare but had come to give a gift, interrupting her intimate moment with Huo Sicheng, who was undoubtedly annoyed.

If Huo Xuan had had a nightmare, it would have been understandable, but his unwarranted interruption would surely upset Huo Sicheng even more.

She didn’t want Huo Sicheng to be angry with Huo Xuan, so she chose to close the door, keeping Huo Sicheng from hearing her conversation with their son.

“Baby…” she bent down and kissed Huo Xuan, “Why aren’t you sleeping? Why did you come to find Mommy and Daddy?”

Huo Xuan, seeing his mother’s flushed face, said worriedly, “Baby needs to find a doctor.”

“What?” Gu Qingcheng was startled, quickly grabbing Huo Xuan who was about to run away, “Why do you need a doctor? Are you feeling unwell, baby?” Huo Xuan shook his head, “I’m not uncomfortable, it’s Mommy.”

“Me?” Gu Qingcheng looked bewilderedly at Huo Xuan, “I’m not feeling unwell.” Huo Xuan, confused, said while looking at his mother’s red face, “Isn’t Mommy running a fever?”

Gu Qingcheng replied, “I’m not feverish, why would you think that?”

Huo Xuan explained, “Mommy’s face is very red, extremely red. I thought Mommy was feverish, that’s why her face is so red.”

Gu Qingcheng touched her own face, feeling its heat. She realized she was blushing because of Huo Sicheng’s flattery. She took a moment to think of an excuse to reassure Huo Xuan, “Baby, Mommy isn’t running a high fever, I just got too hot while taking a bath. That’s why my face is so red. Don’t worry.” Huo Xuan, still a child, believed his mother’s words without doubt.Thɪs chapter is updated by ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

“I’m glad Mommy is okay,” he said, relieved, and handed her the box he was holding, “Mommy, this is a gift from baby to you.”

Gu Qingcheng took the box gently, asking Huo Xuan, “What gift is it?” Huo Xuan smiled up at her, “Mommy, open it when you go back to your room.” “Okay, my dear baby.”

“I’m going back to sleep now,” Huo Xuan said, turning to leave. After taking a step, he turned back to explain, “Mommy, baby was about to sleep but then remembered I forgot to give you the gift, so I rushed to knock on your bedroom door. If Daddy is…”

Gu Qingcheng understood, bending down to kiss Huo Xuan’s cheek affectionately.

“Baby, with Mommy here, Daddy won’t be angry with you,” she reassured her son, “Go to sleep without worries.”

Huo Xuan’s face lit up with a bright smile, “Goodnight, Mommy.”

“Goodnight, baby.”

She watched Huo Xuan enter his room, then turned to find Huo Sicheng.

But as she turned around, she saw a male servant standing nearby, respectful and formal.

Recognizing him as the new butler of Wanmei Mountain Villa from his attire, she asked, “Is there something you need?”

The new butler approached respectfully, “Madam, there’s a phone call for the young master.”

Gu Qingcheng was surprised. A late-night call for Huo Sicheng surely indicated an emergency, and he would normally be contacted on his mobile. Why would someone call the villa’s phone?

“Is it Chu Yu?” she asked, then added, “Tell Chu Yu to wait, and I’ll have my husband call him back.”

As she finished speaking and was about to open the door, the butler interjected, “Madam, the call isn’t from Chu Yu.”

Gu Qingcheng’s hand paused on the doorknob, and she turned to the butler, asking casually, “Then who is calling?”

The butler replied respectfully, “Madam, it’s a Miss Li on the phone.”

Gu Qingcheng’s pupils dilated sharply, and her whole body trembled visibly.. She asked in disbelief, “What did you just say? Miss Li?”
