"Fourth Master?" The voice on the other end sounded somewhat surprised.
"Yeah, Lao Chen. I'm going back. Tell them for me."
"Yes, yes, Young Master." The voice on the other end sounded extremely excited.
Huo Cheng hung up the phone, looking extremely serious with his lips tightly pursed. The moonlight reflected in his eyes, and he was like a wolf, silently gazing into the night.
The next day, Gu Sisi was informed that she was going to meet Huo's parents.
Everyone in the Huo Mansion was extremely busy, as if preparing for something.
Gu Sisi was a bit flustered. Since she got this news, she never expected it to come so soon. Otherwise, she wouldn't have slept for so long yesterday.
"But I haven't prepared any gifts for your parents yet!"
For the first meeting, Gu Sisi didn't want to leave a bad impression on them.
"It's okay." Huo Cheng comforted Gu Sisi. "I've already prepared them."
Gu Sisi heaved a sigh of relief, but didn't notice the solemn look in Huo Cheng's eyes.
The journey wasn't short. They even had to transfer planes. As soon as they got off the plane, there was a long Lincoln waiting for them outside.
Gu Sisi wasn't seeing this kind of situation for the first time, so she didn't think much of it.
The driver opened the door, and Gu Sisi got in. But then she noticed that Huo Cheng was standing still on the spot.
"What's wrong?" Gu Sisi poked her head out in confusion.
"Nothing." Huo Cheng also got in and said to the front, "Let's go!"
This wasn't the car he had booked. It meant that all their activities and movements were now in the hands of others.
Huo Cheng smiled self - deprecatingly. Maybe he had been away from City A for too long and had forgotten that this was their territory.
Gu Sisi didn't notice anything wrong until they got out of the car. When she saw the antique - looking building in front of her, she stopped in her tracks.
She looked up and asked hesitantly, "Is this your home?"
This building looked like it was at least a few hundred years old, but it wasn't shabby at all. It seemed to be carefully maintained, and there were also many modern buildings built next to the main house. The combination of the ancient and the modern had a very good effect.
It was obvious that the owner had good taste. Gu Sisi liked it at first sight.
"Let's go!" Huo Cheng just glanced at it indifferently, showing no emotion in his eyes. He put his hand on Gu Sisi's waist and walked in.
Chen Fang wasn't here today. Instead, a person Gu Sisi didn't recognize carried the gifts and followed behind them.
When they reached the hall, both of them slowed down. Gu Sisi widened her eyes. She originally thought it was a Chinese - style building, but there were actually Greek reliefs inside, and there were also various gorgeous murals on the walls.
There were many people standing in the living room. Gu Sisi didn't see clearly and immediately lowered her head and followed behind Huo Cheng.
"Here?" An old but deep voice asked.
Gu Sisi silently estimated the age in her heart.
Another voice spoke up, "Who is this?"
Gu Sisi felt a pair of eyes looking at her.
"Didn't the fourth son of the Huo family say that he would never step into this place again? Why is he here again?" A female voice slowly came from the stairs.
"Shut up!" The old male voice said with authority.
Sure enough, the scene became quiet again.
"My wife." Huo Cheng finally said.
"Hehe." The female voice sounded again, but this time no one interrupted her.
Only then did Gu Sisi notice something was wrong, not only the atmosphere but also the way they got along and their words.
Did Huo Cheng really decide never to come back? Then why did he come this time?
"We don't agree." The teacup was slammed on the tea table.
Gu Sisi was startled, but Huo Cheng seemed to have expected their reaction. He put his hand on Gu Sisi's to comfort her and said calmly, "I know."
"You're really something. Your wings are really hard now." The old male voice was extremely excited.
"You all leave first." The strict female voice also spoke, and all the people waiting around disappeared in an instant.
"Are you here to show off?" The female voice was so angry that she laughed.
Huo Cheng still said calmly, "No, I'm here to ask for your consent."
"Do you think we will?"
"No." Huo Cheng said firmly.
The scene became quiet again. After a long while, the female voice spoke.
"Do you know what the consequences will be for you?"
"I'll accept them." Huo Cheng was still calm.
Everyone stopped talking.
Gu Sisi was completely confused. Suddenly, she was called out.
"You, look up!" The voice was full of authority.
Gu Sisi's heart trembled. Fortunately, Huo Cheng had been pinching her palm, so she managed to calm down. She held her breath and slowly looked up.
Only then did she see clearly. The two people in front of her, who didn't look very old but were full of authority, were sitting on the sofa. Beside the sofa, a woman was looking at her with an indescribable smile.
From their looks, Gu Sisi roughly guessed their identities.
The two sitting were Mr. and Mrs. Huo.
"She's just so - so. How did she capture your heart?" Mrs. Huo commented.
Gu Sisi's face turned red. With Mrs. Huo's looks, she really couldn't refute. Mrs. Huo obviously took good care of herself and still looked like a charming beauty.
Gu Sisi could only be considered pretty at most.
It was still a bit hurtful to be criticized like this by her boyfriend's parents.
"I like her." Huo Cheng's voice rang in Gu Sisi's ear again.
They didn't dwell on this topic for long.
Mrs. Huo spoke again, "Forget it, forget it."
"The wedding you had was quite a big deal!" The woman beside the sofa suddenly said.
Mr. and Mrs. Huo, who had just calmed down, became excited again.
"You had a wedding?"
"Yes. When I said I got married, it included getting the marriage certificate and having a wedding." Huo Cheng still looked as if it was a matter of course.
At this time, Gu Sisi also noticed something was wrong. It seemed that they were all very dissatisfied with Huo Cheng's marriage. She gently tugged at Huo Cheng, thinking that they couldn't be so stubborn.
Maybe they were angry because they weren't informed about the wedding!
Out of the corner of her eye, Gu Sisi saw the woman beside the sofa secretly smiling, which made her even more confused.
"The son you raised has a lot of nerve!" Mrs. Huo waved her hand and was about to leave.
The atmosphere became tense.
Just then.
Gu Sisi suddenly let out a retching sound, covered her mouth, and paced around. Seeing this, Huo Cheng panicked and immediately took her to the first - floor bathroom.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed, and the expressions of the people present were all kinds of strange.
Even the people involved didn't expect that when Gu Sisi returned to the living room again, she was a bit scared.
But the atmosphere didn't seem so harsh anymore. Instead, it became extremely strange.
Mrs. Huo, who was originally going to leave, sat back on the sofa.
Everyone's expressions were strange.
"Are you pregnant?" Mrs. Huo finally couldn't hold back and asked.
Huo Cheng closed his eyes. He knew that once this was suspected, he couldn't hide it.
"Yes." This was the most difficult answer Huo Cheng had ever given.
