The atmosphere at the scene grew even more peculiar. Gu Sisi seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, she was extremely nervous. She was waiting for Huo Cheng's answer.
As the one who had posed the question, Gu Chenfei was sitting there, exuding an air of unapproachability as if she were staging a forced palace coup. It was obvious that she wouldn't let the matter rest until Huo Cheng gave an answer. To make matters worse, Gu Yangtao was there to back her up.
Chen Fang unconsciously straightened his back. He always felt that the young master needed some support in terms of his aura.
"I think this seems to have nothing to do with Miss Gu," Huo Cheng said.
Once Huo Cheng projected his aura, Chen Fang became insignificant. He immediately felt like a mere bystander, and everything in the living room faded into the background. All that remained was the stand - off between the young master and Gu Chenfei. But why was the young mistress looking so pale? Chen Fang was completely at a loss.
Naturally, he assumed that Gu Sisi was on his and the young master's side and never thought that she was angry because of the young master's answer.
Of course, Huo Cheng also didn't anticipate this, which made the situation deviate from the start.
Gu Sisi was now deeply disappointed. Unfortunately, Huo Cheng was unaware of her disappointment.
Gu Chenfei felt that she had achieved half of her goal. Looking at Gu Sisi's expression, she was convinced that she had succeeded. Gu Sisi could deceive others, but she couldn't deceive Gu Chenfei. Gu Chenfei could tell at a glance whether Gu Sisi was happy or not. She understood Gu Sisi better than Gu Sisi herself.
Of course, only Gu Chenfei knew this and didn't dare to tell Gu Sisi for fear of scaring her.
"It may have nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with your wife," Gu Chenfei said matter - of - factly, but her tone was still rather annoying.
Chen Fang couldn't help but wonder if Gu Chenfei were a man, would she be beaten now?
This might be the advantage of her being a woman. Chen Fang looked up at the sky helplessly.
"Since Miss Gu knows that Gu Sisi is my wife, then these are family matters. My family matters don't need Miss Gu to interfere. I can handle them well on my own," Huo Cheng's tone had clearly turned cold.
He was probably on the verge of anger. Chen Fang shivered. He had to admit that in this regard, he admired Gu Chenfei. She showed no sign of fear at all.
It was as if whether the young master was angry or threatening didn't matter to her.
In fact, this was exactly what Gu Chenfei thought. She couldn't control what Huo Cheng did, but she was determined to achieve her goal.
"I'm not trying to interfere in your family matters. But I'd like to ask Mr. Huo, now that you've returned to the Huo Mansion, I imagine you're very busy there. So busy that you don't even have a chance to explain to your wife what you've been doing, causing her unnecessary worry. Mr. Huo, you're really good at handling family matters. I'd also like to ask, as a young and talented man like you, why can't you even get your own child back?"
Gu Chenfei pressed on relentlessly, not giving an inch. These questions, both explicitly and implicitly, placed a big burden on Huo Cheng.
"What I do is my own business. It's not up to Miss Gu to lecture me here," Huo Cheng said even more rudely. He simply refused to answer Gu Chenfei's questions, indicating that it was none of her business.
No one noticed that the light in Gu Sisi's eyes had quietly faded.
In fact, Gu Sisi also wanted to know the answers and wanted to hear what Huo Cheng had to say.
Gu Sisi had never asked, but it didn't mean she wasn't curious. Every day with Huo Cheng was a challenge. She had always thought things would get better gradually, but now it seemed that wasn't the case. Gu Sisi began to wonder how things should be between her and Huo Cheng.
"Mr. Huo is right. But remember, you can take her away. But if Gu Sisi runs out because of you again and gets into danger, and if you're as late as you were this time, don't blame me for what I do," Gu Chenfei's tone was full of threats.
It was rather strange. From Gu Chenfei's perspective, these words were easily misinterpreted.
Sure enough, when they walked out later, Huo Cheng had a gloomy face.
"Stay away from Gu Chenfei in the future," Huo Cheng warned Gu Sisi as soon as they stepped out of the door.
"I also want to know," Gu Sisi said, a rather cryptic statement.
Huo Cheng needed to understand what she meant.
"Know what?" Thinking about what Gu Sisi had just been through, Huo Cheng tried to soften his tone.
"I want to know the things Gu Chenfei just asked you about," Gu Sisi said, looking into Huo Cheng's eyes word by word.
At that moment, the atmosphere between Huo Cheng and Gu Sisi became awkward. Chen Fang felt caught in the middle, finding the situation rather strange. He could only hope that the young master could handle it.
As it turned out, Chen Fang had worried too much.
Huo Cheng hugged Gu Sisi tightly and whispered in her ear, showing a completely different attitude from when he was facing Gu Chenfei.
"Sisi, don't worry. I will definitely bring the baby back," he said.
"Give me some time. I will reunite you and the baby. Our family will be together again."
"This time it was my fault. I'm sorry for making you worry."
Chen Fang didn't know what the young master had said, but seeing the young mistress looking so happy, he wasn't worried at all.
After Gu Sisi and Huo Cheng left, the atmosphere between Gu Chenfei and Gu Yangtao was far from good.
Gu Yangtao was angry with Gu Chenfei for not being able to keep Gu Sisi. She was also angry with herself for not speaking up. And she was still angry that Gu Sisi had so easily left with Huo Cheng.
In fact, Gu Yangtao really wanted Gu Sisi to stay, but she knew there was no valid reason. Huo Cheng was Gu Sisi's husband, and Gu Sisi should indeed go back with him.
Gu Yangtao understood the logic, but she just couldn't help it.
It seemed that Gu Chenfei wasn't in a much better state.
She had a gloomy face, as if the woman Huo Cheng had just taken away was her own wife.
"Why couldn't we keep Sister Sisi?" Gu Yangtao finally couldn't hold back her words.
"Humph, Huo Cheng has come here. How could we keep her?" Gu Chenfei replied, her tone unpleasant.
Gu Yangtao shut up. She knew that Gu Chenfei had been holding back her anger just now. Thinking about it, Gu Chenfei was probably feeling even worse than she was, so she didn't ask any more questions.
