After giving instructions to Chen Fang, Huo Cheng strode up the stairs and plopped down in his previous seat. He looked at the woman who had been wearing a smile on her face since just now.
For a moment, the two of them formed a rather strange combination. The woman was beaming brightly while the man's face was gloomy. The brighter Concubine Chen smiled, the darker Huo Cheng's expression became.
"Hey, don't keep such a straight face. Cheer up," Concubine Chen was the first to break the ice, but her words had no effect on Huo Cheng at the moment.
For Huo Cheng, just sitting across from Gu Chenfei was already the greatest concession he could make. One couldn't expect him to pander to Gu Chenfei's wishes.
All he could think about now was where Gu Sisi had gone, whether Chen Fang had caught up with her, and whether she would be willing to come back.
The great Young Master Huo never thought that one day he would be tortured like this by a woman. He was now both worried that Gu Sisi wouldn't come back and worried that she would.
He was afraid that if Gu Sisi didn't come back, her forgetful nature might put her in danger outside. But if she came back and saw him still sitting with Gu Chenfei across from him, God knows what she would think.
Gu Chenfei was always good at threatening others. She would always target others' most vulnerable spots to satisfy her own desires.
Huo Cheng had received the most threats from Gu Chenfei in his life, and she was also the only one he would listen to. There was nothing he could do about it because Gu Chenfei held the key to helping them get their son back.
No matter how reluctant he was, Young Master Huo still had to follow her arrangements. He just didn't expect that this woman would be so pushy.
Huo Cheng had already returned to his seat upstairs as she asked. However, when the woman was smiling most brightly, she suddenly said,
"Huo Cheng, what do you think would happen if you don't explain my true identity and my purpose for being here to your wife?"
"What do you want?" How come the unshakable Huo Cheng suddenly felt a bit flustered? He had a bad feeling that this woman in front of him wouldn't let him off easily.
Sure enough, Gu Chenfei let out a few coquettish laughs and said,
"Haha, I'm just curious. When your wife thinks there's something going on between you and me, and you can't come up with a convincing explanation, what will happen between you two? Will you get divorced? Will your wife ignore you forever?"
Looking at the woman in front of him beaming like a flower and listening to what she said, Huo Cheng really felt like he had boarded a pirate ship. He had been constantly cheated by her.
It seemed that what she was saying was, "I just want to see you two arguing because of a misunderstanding. Even if I know how to console your wife, I won't do it, and neither should you."
Huo Cheng suddenly felt a great deal of pressure. When he looked at Gu Chenfei again, there was obvious anger in his eyes. But his silence also meant that he had silently agreed. Thinking of this, Gu Chenfei laughed even more happily.
Huo Cheng secretly clenched his fists. It seemed that he had reached the limit of his patience. He had a strange feeling that if Gu Chenfei were a man, he would have already knocked her down.
Gu Chenfei just loved to watch others get angry but be unable to do anything to her, especially Huo Cheng.
Huo Cheng had been excellent since childhood. Among the children of the Huo family who had ventured out, he was one of the best. One could hardly find any flaws in him, let alone something that could make him look bad.
Gu Chenfei had always been troubled by this. She had always wanted to know what could make Huo Cheng look bad or what he would look like when he did.
Today, she got to see it all. One could say that she had reaped a great deal. Gu Chenfei thought this trip was really worth it!
Huo Cheng forced himself to suppress his anger and told himself to stay calm. He really couldn't do anything to the woman in front of him. Firstly, he never hit women. Secondly, this woman was one of his childhood friends, although she was much more cunning than Jiang Lihao.
However... Young Master Huo never did anything that wasn't profitable. Since she could play tricks on him like this, he was really curious to see what other tricks this woman had up her sleeve and what other strange threats were waiting for him.
Gu Chenfei had already used almost everything related to Gu Sisi to threaten him. What was left were things that Huo Cheng didn't care about. He always felt that Gu Chenfei couldn't cause much more trouble.
"Come on, what other conditions do you have? What else do you want me to do before you're willing to help me get my son back properly?"
"Hey, don't put it like that. It sounds like I'm a wicked capitalist and you're a member of the working class, and I'm exploiting you. As far as I know, General Manager Huo never does anything unprofitable,"
Huo Cheng, who had been seen through, suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. He couldn't help but clear his throat, but all this was still caught in Gu Chenfei's eyes.
The smile on Gu Chenfei's face deepened even more, especially when she saw the petite figure downstairs with Huo Cheng's assistant.
"Here she comes!"
A glint flashed in Gu Chenfei's eyes and quickly disappeared.
She picked up a tissue and gently handed it to Huo Cheng. At the same time, she said in a soft voice, "What's going on? Why are you so careless?"
Huo Cheng, who was getting goosebumps all over, was just about to ask what Gu Chenfei was up to. When he turned his head, he saw his wife and Chen Fang standing at the stairs, looking at them. Chen Fang looked embarrassed, while Gu Sisi's face was as black as Lord Guan's.
It seemed that if she were given a knife, she would make Huo Cheng bleed on the spot. And indeed, that was exactly what Gu Sisi was thinking.
Huo Cheng looked at himself and Gu Chenfei. Gu Chenfei's hand was still in the position of handing him the tissue, and his hand was just about to take it. From a certain angle... it looked like they were holding hands.
Huo Cheng finally understood why Gu Sisi had such an expression. Because, coincidentally, from her perspective, it could easily be mistaken for holding hands.
Oh, Young Master Huo couldn't help but want to palm his forehead and let out a long sigh. He had encountered the most difficult projects, but he had never encountered such a difficult woman.
Huo Cheng secretly swore that no matter what happened in the future, he would never have any cooperation with Gu Chenfei. Otherwise, before the cooperation was even completed, he would already be cheated to death.
Next, Huo Cheng could foresee that the road to consoling his wife would be extremely difficult. And he had also promised Gu Chenfei not to explain her true identity, which made it even more difficult.
Huo Cheng could hardly imagine how he and Gu Sisi would get through the days to come. One had to admit that Gu Chenfei had achieved her goal.
