Huo Sicheng disregarded Qin Chong and Chu He; his sole focus was on Gu Qingcheng.

His gaze fixated on her, he slowly moved closer.

“Are you alright?” His voice was suffused with a gentle, caring timbre.

Huo Sicheng’s soft words resonated in Gu Qingcheng’s ears, causing her heart to flutter and filling her with a sweet sensation.

“How could I not be?” She shook her head slightly, her eyes meeting his. “I’m strong. No one can bully me.”

Huo Sicheng found himself momentarily breathless at her charming demeanor.

Despite the presence of Qin Chong and Chu He, his jealousy surged. He disliked the idea of others witnessing such an endearing side of her.

Qin Chong, upon seeing Gu Qingcheng’s demure expression, was stunned.

Known for her toughness, Gu Qingcheng was unexpectedly showing a softer, more feminine side, an astonishing transformation.

But to Qin Chong, Gu Qingcheng’s display of vulnerability in front of others seemed beneath her.

Chu He, observing the intimate exchange between Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng, seethed with fury and felt a surge of sympathy for Gu Mei.

She understood why Gu Mei was driven to such lengths for Huo Sicheng – he was indeed a man of significant allure.

Chu He glared at Gu Qingcheng, her jealousy barely contained.

Huo Sicheng, gazing at with tenderness, reached out to hold her hand. “You’re indeed fierce,” he agreed, his tone deliberate. “People do fear you.”

Gu Qingcheng, however, seemed slightly irked by his words.

“What do you mean? Do you find me disagreeable?”

Huo Sicheng was secretly pleased to see the shift from shyness to annoyance in her eyes. He cherished being the sole witness to her endearing side and disliked her showing it to others.

“I wouldn’t dare,” he responded.

“Why wouldn’t you?” Gu Qingcheng countered, “You dare to do a lot!”

“I truly don’t,” Huo Sicheng affirmed, raising his voice. “After all, I am the one you married. You are the head of the Huo family and the heir of the Gu family.”

His declaration caused Qin Chong and Chu He’s expressions to shift dramatically.

They both knew the weight of Huo Sicheng’s words. In the past, when Qin Chong had antagonized Gu Qingcheng, Huo Sicheng had used the same line to assert his support for her.

Qin Chong bristled at Huo Sicheng’s unabashed declaration.

In his view, the traditional order was for men to marry women, not the other way around!

Gu Qingcheng’s union with Huo Sicheng signified his backing for her against Qin Chong and Chu He.

Chu He, her emotions boiling over, accidentally broke one of her carefully manicured nails.

Huo Sicheng’s statement was a clear warning – if she dared to cross Gu Qingcheng, the Huo family would not stand idly by.

Her resentment towards Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng intensified. Qin Chong, unable to openly defy Huo Sicheng, resorted to grudging flattery. “Of course, I cherish my woman,” Huo Sicheng declared to Qin Chong, adding a veiled threat, “I won’t tolerate anyone offending her.”

Qin Chong’s expression shifted, recognizing Huo Sicheng’s warning.

Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng, her heart brimming with warmth.

In a world where male pride often took precedence, Huo Sicheng showed her profound respect by publicly acknowledging her as his partner and cautioning Qin Chong against any disrespect.

Overwhelmed, she softly called him, “Hubby.”

Huo Sicheng’s grip on her hand tightened. He turned to her, his voice soft yet resolute, “I’m here.”

Gu Qingcheng responded with a tender smile and a playful wink.

Turning to Chu He, she said confidently, “Chu He, did you hear? I married Huo Sicheng, so I’m more than just ‘water that has been poured out.’ As a member of the Gu family, Huo Sicheng has every right to intervene in Gu Corporation’s affairs. ”

Chu He was so infuriated by her words that she nearly collapsed.

Fuming with anger, she cursed Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng in her heart.

Damned b*tch!

She was so enraged that she had the seething urge to kill that despicable pair called Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng.

Qin Chong, though not surprised by Gu Qingcheng’s stance, felt the weight of her words. After all she had said the same thing when he went to see her in the morning.

He knew she was set on involving Huo Sicheng in the corporation, and he was powerless to stop her.

He now only felt that Gu Qincheng was acting too quickly, and he and Chu He were also very unlucky. They didn’t get control of Gu Corporation in time, and instead ran into Gu Qingcheng. Now, things at the board of directors were going to be difficult.

Recognizing the urgency, Qin Chong quickly interjected, “It’s getting late. Let’s head to the board meeting. Tianhao’s secretary is awaiting my assistance with some urgent matters. Shall we all go and have a look?”

Chu He was already furious with Gu Qincheng and Huo Sicheng, and upon hearing Qin Chong’s invitation for Gu Qincheng and Huo Sicheng to join them at the board of directors’ meeting, she looked at Qin Chong in disbelief. She couldn’t believe that at such a critical moment, he would turn his back on her and actually side with Gu Qingcheng!

Qin Chong, sensing Chu He’s disbelief, glanced at her from the corner of his eye. He found himself unable to explain due to Gu Qingcheng’s presence.

Gu Qincheng and Huo Sicheng, joining forces, effectively put Qin Chong and Chu He in their place. The couple exchanged a knowing look, and in perfect unison, they declared, “Let’s head to the board of directors’ meeting first.”

As Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng made their exit, Chu He glared at Qin Chong, her resentment palpable.

“Master Qin, how can you support Gu Qingcheng and the others? If they attend the board meeting, how can I secure my position? Gu Qingcheng will surely oppose me!” she lamented.

“We’re in a tight spot,” Qin Chong explained. “We can’t afford to antagonize Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng. Don’t worry, I’ll ensure you get your place on the board.”

Chu He, though seething, knew she had no choice but to rely on Qin Chong. With a deep breath, she suppressed her anger.

“Let’s hurry to the board meeting. We can’t let Gu Qingcheng cause any trouble. ”

Arriving at Gu Tianhao’s opulent office atop Gu Corporation building, Gu Qingcheng’s disdain for her estranged father deepened.

Here, in this luxurious space, the man who had abandoned her and her mother controlled the destinies of many. She felt he had no right to such a life.

Qin Chong, regarded as a brother by Gu Tianhao, commanded respect among the corporation’s higher-ups. Consequently, they eagerly awaited his arrival

for the meeting.

Huo Sicheng, walking alongside Gu Qingcheng, observed the respectful demeanor of the executives. His phoenix eyes held a distant, menacing glint. He murmured, “The situation at Gu Corporation reminds me of the car accident that claimed my parents…”

Gu Qingcheng halted, turning to Huo Sicheng with a puzzled look.

“What do you mean?” she asked, seeking clarity.. “How is the Gu Corporation incident similar to your parents’ car accident?”
