When Gu Sisi heard this, her body visibly trembled. Huo Cheng sensed it and buried his head even closer, almost speaking right next to Gu Sisi's ear. The hot breath from his mouth all sprayed on the side of her ear.
Gu Sisi couldn't take it anymore and started struggling to push Huo Cheng away. Unfortunately, the difference in their strength was too great. She exerted all her strength but still couldn't do it. She even felt that Huo Cheng didn't budge at all.
"Sisi, Sisi, don't move. Listen to me."
Huo Cheng's hand stroked Gu Sisi's head from time to time, as if trying to soothe her.
"Don't move. Listen to me carefully, and then I'll let you go."
His cello - like voice seemed to carry a spell, bewitching Gu Sisi and making her uncontrollably say "Okay".
After hearing this "Okay", Huo Cheng was satisfied and let her go. Then he led her to sit on the sofa beside them and held onto Gu Sisi's hand tightly.
Gu Sisi retracted her hand angrily. "Speak. What do you want to say?" Gu Sisi looked as if she was waiting to see how he would explain.
"Sisi, do you trust me?"
Huo Cheng held Gu Sisi's face and stared into her eyes. His eyes were like a deep pool, without a hint of falsehood.
"What... What do you want to say?"
Huo Cheng's sudden seriousness made Gu Sisi a little nervous. She even started to stutter again. Lately, this always happened. She didn't know why, but she always stammered because of Huo Cheng, making herself look so timid.
Thinking of this, Gu Sisi couldn't help but sit up straight, as if trying to regain a bit of her dignity.
"Sisi, I know what you saw made you misunderstand, but believe me. She and I are not what you think." Huo Cheng started his great cause of coaxing his wife.
Actually, Huo Cheng wasn't sure if he could coax her back. After all, he had promised Gu Chenfei's conditions: not to explain their relationship, not to reveal Gu Chenfei's real identity, and not to mention their deal.
For now, he could only comfort Gu Sisi. He thought that when their son came back, all the misunderstandings would be cleared up. By then, his cooperation with Gu Chenfei would end, and he could explain everything to Gu Sisi properly.
"Then what do you think I misunderstood? What's your relationship with her?" Just thinking about what happened in the coffee shop this afternoon made Gu Sisi angry. Now that she was here to listen to Huo Cheng's explanation, although his attitude was sincere, she still had doubts in her heart.
"I can't tell you these things now. She and I are not the kind of relationship you think. That's all you need to know. Sisi, give me some time. After this matter is completed, I'll explain everything to you in detail."
"Heh~ So you went through all this just to tell me this?" Gu Sisi suddenly felt a bit ridiculous.
Huo Cheng's pale and useless explanation, which seemed like he hadn't said anything at all, didn't seem to have any effect on Gu Sisi. Instead, it made her even angrier.
"Sisi, I hope you trust me. Don't be angry. I just need a little time."
"So you think this forced explanation will work? Do you think I'm that easy to deceive, Huo Cheng?"
When saying this, Gu Sisi's tone was cold. It was the first time Huo Cheng had seen such an expression on Gu Sisi's face.
He had seen the charming Gu Sisi, the cute and silly Gu Sisi, the capable Gu Sisi, the panicked Gu Sisi, the scared Gu Sisi, and the tear - streaked Gu Sisi...
But he had never seen Gu Sisi like this, so angry that her eyes and tone were cold enough to freeze. Huo Cheng felt that he had really gone too far this time.
But there was nothing he could do. He had to continue, all for the sake of their son.
Seeing that Huo Cheng had nothing to say, Gu Sisi angrily slammed the door and left. She didn't want to face Huo Cheng here anymore. His explanation was just a few sentences.
And they were still so ambiguous and without a point. Just thinking about Huo Cheng sitting with that woman, the provocative look in that woman's eyes and Huo Cheng's ambiguous attitude made Gu Sisi angry.
She clearly didn't think she was such a petty person, but she was so angry about this. Gu Sisi was also very confused. Anyway, she was just really angry.
After leaving the room, Gu Sisi suddenly didn't know where to go. She originally wanted to go to the yard to get some fresh air, but was afraid that Huo Cheng would continue to pester her. She really didn't want to listen to his forced explanation anymore. So, Gu Sisi went to the baby's room again.
She gently opened the door and quietly entered, moving softly for fear of waking up the baby. Every time she saw this sleeping baby, she would think of the other one.
She had been looking forward to the day when she could get the baby back. As a mother, being separated from her child was really a painful thing. Leaving the child in the Huo family and thinking about the past experiences...
Gu Sisi really couldn't help but be afraid. She was already very uneasy when the child wasn't by her side. Now, whether it was Huo Cheng or her work, just when everything seemed to be getting on the right track, something went wrong again.
Looking at the baby's sleeping face and gently rocking the baby's crib, she gradually calmed down. Sure enough, looking at the baby when she was angry was the most healing thing for her.
The next day, when Gu Sisi woke up, she found herself in her own bed. She had a bit of a headache. She guessed that she had fallen asleep in the baby's room last night and then was carried back by Huo Cheng. This kind of thing had happened often before.
Huo Cheng wasn't in the room. It was better that way, Gu Sisi thought. At least there wouldn't be any awkwardness when they met. After getting up and washing up, Gu Sisi was a bit hungry, so she went downstairs to look for something to eat.
As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Sister Hu standing at the stairs with a worried look on her face. Gu Sisi was just wondering what was wrong with Sister Hu when Sister Hu spoke first.
"Madam, did you and Master... have a fight?" Sister Hu seemed hesitant to speak.
"Sister Hu, what's wrong?" Gu Sisi was very confused. Did Sister Hu know what had happened yesterday?
Who would tell Sister Hu about this? Could it be Chen Fang? Just as Gu Sisi was wondering, Sister Hu continued.
"Madam, come with me."
Sister Hu led Gu Sisi to a balcony and pointed to the balcony floor. Gu Sisi looked and saw a pile of cigarette butts on the floor.
"What are these?" Gu Sisi was a bit incredulous.
"If I'm not wrong, Master should have stood here and smoked all night last night. Madam, Sister Hu would like to say one more thing. A couple should make up after a fight. No matter what it is, don't let Master ruin his body like this."
Gu Sisi stared blankly at the cigarette butts on the ground, not knowing what to do. She really didn't expect that Huo Cheng would smoke here all night. Was it because of what happened yesterday? Gu Sisi was very confused.
After staying on the balcony for a while, Gu Sisi left. What she didn't notice was that this balcony could just see the room where she slept.
