Huo Cheng sat alone in his study. Unexpectedly, instead of dealing with business, he poured himself a glass of red wine.
Staring at the night view before him, Huo Cheng fell into deep thought.
The children of the Huo family had always been independent of each other. Although the Huo family seemed to be a large clan, in fact, Huo Cheng, Huo Zhen, the eldest sister, the second brother and the youngest fifth sister of the Huo family each had their own faction.
Brought up with the so - called wolf - style education since childhood, there was hardly any warmth among the five siblings. The fraternal love and sisterly affection that could be seen in other families were never found in the Huo family by Huo Cheng.
Living in an environment full of competition and strife since childhood, siblings were supposed to fight against each other. This was something Huo Cheng had never liked.
That was why Huo Cheng moved out of the family after he came of age. Although the fifth sister didn't become as independent as Huo Cheng, she had been staying abroad.
Like him, the fifth sister was reluctant to stay in the Huo family. The Huo family was as terrifying as wolves and tigers to both of them. The fifth sister had been abroad for a long time, while he had always refused to have any contact with the Huo family. If it hadn't been for Gu Sisi's pregnancy last time,
Huo Cheng would never have set foot in the Huo family. Thinking of bringing Gu Sisi into the Huo family, that den of tigers and dragons, Huo Cheng felt a bit regretful.
Of course, he knew that the eldest sister and the second brother were targeting him, not Gu Sisi. If Gu Sisi hadn't been his wife, what she had experienced before would never have happened to her.
So far, the only thing Huo Cheng regretted was involving Gu Sisi in this matter. If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn't have let the Huo family know about Gu Sisi's existence. Then none of these things would have happened.
Their son wouldn't have been taken away by the Huo family, and Gu Sisi wouldn't have been depressed day and night because of the baby.
But of course, Huo Cheng also knew that the influence of the Huo family was extremely powerful. What was on the surface was not the whole of the Huo family. All of the family's power was terrifyingly strong.
The reason why Huo Cheng didn't dare to confront the Huo family head - on was that he wasn't sure how much power his father actually had. Although it seemed that his father had stopped managing the family business,
in fact, the real power was still in his father's hands. Huo Cheng knew that no matter how powerful his siblings were, they were no match for his father.
The eldest sister, the second brother and even the mysterious Huo Zhen were not to be feared.
The night was quiet and calm, which somehow seemed like the calm before a storm.
"No! No! Don't take my child away! No! No, I don't want to leave Huo Cheng!"
Big drops of sweat oozed from Gu Sisi's forehead. Her fingers clutched the quilt so tightly that the tips turned white. She kept repeating "No" in her mouth.
"Sisi, Sisi, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Sisi seemed not to hear him. She was trapped in a nightmare and couldn't be woken up no matter how hard Huo Cheng called. He could only keep wiping the sweat off Gu Sisi's face with a towel,
hoping that she would wake up by herself.
After a while, Gu Sisi not only didn't get better but seemed to be getting worse. Her body kept trembling and her voice got louder and louder.
Huo Cheng could gradually make out what she was saying. She just kept repeating the same few sentences:
"No! Don't take my baby away!"
"No!"
"I don't want to leave Huo Cheng!"
"Please~"
Hearing Gu Sisi's sleep - talking, Huo Cheng felt heart - broken. What was wrong with Gu Sisi? What on earth did she dream about that could drive her like this?
Huo Cheng gently put his arms around Gu Sisi, but he only dared to put them around her shoulders. At this moment, he was afraid of waking her up. If anything happened and it affected Gu Sisi's mental state, it would really be a great loss.
"Sisi, don't be afraid. It's just a dream. I'm here and the baby will come back."
"Sisi, don't be afraid. Don't believe what you see in the dream."
"Sisi..."
Huo Cheng could only comfort Gu Sisi like this. Maybe Gu Sisi heard his words in the dream. She calmed down a lot. Her body stopped shaking and she stopped repeating "No" in her mouth.
Huo Cheng gradually loosened his hold on her shoulders. He took out his phone and was about to call the doctor to check on Gu Sisi's condition.
Suddenly, he felt Gu Sisi's body tense up. She went from being relaxed to being nervous again in an instant. Her mouth was mumbling something. Huo Cheng's heart skipped a beat.
"No! No! Don't come near!"
"Let go! Let go of my baby!"
"No!"
Gu Sisi suddenly sat up. Cold sweat had soaked her whole body. Her eyes were full of panic.
Her face was also covered with tears.
"Sisi, Sisi?"
Huo Cheng gently called Gu Sisi's name. As soon as Gu Sisi saw it was Huo Cheng, she immediately hugged him tightly.
"Husband~ Fortunately you're still here. I almost... almost thought you didn't want me anymore!"
Gu Sisi hugged Huo Cheng tightly. Her voice was soft and aggrieved.
The sudden hug made Huo Cheng stunned for a moment. He had never heard Gu Sisi call him husband in such a soft voice. After he came to his senses, he hugged Gu Sisi tightly and comforted her softly.
Maybe because someone was comforting her, Gu Sisi, who had just been crying silently, began to sob. Huo Cheng was in a hurry to comfort her.
But the more he comforted her, the harder Gu Sisi cried. Before he knew it, she had been crying for half an hour and the shirt on Huo Cheng's shoulder was all wet.
"Okay, okay. Stop crying. Don't be aggrieved, okay?" Huo Cheng patted Gu Sisi's back gently to help her calm down.
Gu Sisi sobbed and hugged Huo Cheng tightly again, as if she was afraid that he would slip away.
Huo Cheng naturally noticed her little action. He suddenly found it a bit funny. He immediately hugged Gu Sisi tightly to give her a sense of security and whispered in her ear:
"Don't be afraid. I'm still here and I'll always be with you."
Gu Sisi was like a little kitten, lying on Huo Cheng's shoulder.
She was also as clingy as a kitten. This was a side of Gu Sisi that Huo Cheng had never seen before. She was acting coquettishly, using her soft voice and holding onto Huo Cheng tightly, not letting him leave.
She kept calling him husband in her mouth. Although they had been married for a long time, Huo Cheng rarely heard this address from Gu Sisi.
Hearing it suddenly this time, he couldn't help but feel surprised. Huo Cheng unconsciously hugged Gu Sisi even tighter.
After a while, Gu Sisi slowly raised her head. Her tear - filled eyes stared at Huo Cheng. She asked word by word:
"Huo Cheng, tell me. Our baby will come back, right?"
"Yes. I will definitely get the baby back." Huo Cheng looked into Gu Sisi's eyes and answered seriously and affectionately.
"Huo Cheng, do you love me? Will you leave me?"
"I love you. I will never leave you."
