Wedding Night! A Regretful Marriage to Her Disabled Rival!

Lu Chi was her partner; he would keep it a secret.

So, who could it be coming to find her?

She looked puzzled, her brain quickly turning but unable to come up with an answer.

“Don’t think too much,” Lu Chi stepped aside, “go.”

Gu Qingcheng collected her thoughts. Whoever was coming to find her, she would see once she went out; there was no need to overthink it.

She took a step and then stopped abruptly, storming up to Qin Jun.

“Daring to kidnap me and wanting to rape me? You scum, go to hell!” She cursed and then kicked Qin Jun fiercely in a crucial area.

Qin Jun was already weakened from blood loss, and after Gu Qingcheng’s assault, he didn’t even have the strength to scream. He passed out in excruciating pain, his eyes rolling back.

Lu Chi watched Gu Qingcheng’s ruthless kick, cracking a faint smile.

“What a ruthless woman.”

Gu Qingcheng glared at Qin Jun in anger, then looked at Lu Chi and asked,

“Wasn’t I ruthless enough when he was raping me?”

“It’s not that you weren’t ruthless; it’s that he deserved to die,” Lu Chi corrected her, then added, “Do you want to give him another kick?”

“My foot hurts, and I don’t feel like kicking Qin Jun anymore,” Gu Qingcheng walked toward Lu Chi, “my neck hurts too. Couldn’t you have been gentler when you chopped at me with your hand?”

“If I had been gentler, Qin Jun would have seen it. I had to make it look real,” Lu Chi explained, “I was already being gentle.”

Gu Qingcheng knew that Lu Chi wasn’t lying. She blamed her neck pain on Qin Jun, who had tried to kidnap her; otherwise, she wouldn’t have joined forces with Lu Chi to torment him. But thinking about how she had earned half of one billion and had the satisfaction of tormenting Qin Jun, she didn’t press the issue further.

She walked to the door and opened it, finding no one outside.

This surprised her, and she walked out, standing in the silent corridor, glancing around.

It was this glance that made her freeze, her face filled with astonishment.

In a black suit, a tall figure exuded a powerful and intimidating aura that kept people at a distance.

The dim lighting obscured the man’s features, revealing only his well-defined and artistic hands.

Familiar scent, a wheelchair; even though she couldn’t see his face clearly, she recognized him as Huo Sicheng.

She softly called out, “Husband…”

Huo Sicheng slowly emerged from the shadows, revealing his sharp and cold features.

His phoenix-like eyes, as dark and profound as a quenched spring, locked onto Gu Qingcheng, and his thin lips were tightly pursed, revealing his inner tension and concern.

His lips moved slightly, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. He simply extended his long right hand to Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng met Huo Sicheng’s narrow, phoenix-like gaze, seeing nothing but darkness in his eyes, making her feel a bit nervous and anxious.

Huo Sicheng had found her, which meant he knew about the situation. Otherwise, he would have stormed into the room instead of waiting for her to come out.

Her gaze fell on his well-defined, large hand, and she slowly walked over, finally placing her hand in his. Her hand was held tightly by his.

In an instant, her heart raced wildly, filled with excitement and anticipation. Huo Sicheng’s warm touch warmed her heart, and in that moment, she felt like he had taken hold of her heart, filling her with a sense of security.

Every time Huo Sicheng reached out to her, the feelings he brought were always so different.

Again and again, she had experienced a significant change in her emotions, from initial vigilance and caution to the peace she felt now. It was only today that she truly understood this.

Seeing that Gu Qingcheng was lost in thought as she looked at their intertwined hands, Huo Sicheng, without waiting for her response, gently hugged her waist and placed her on his lap.

He was taking her away from this place.

Lu Chi intentionally waited in the room for a while, thinking that Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng had already left before he opened the door and stepped out.

He had been trying to avoid Huo Sicheng, but fate seemed to bring them face to face.

At this moment, he saw Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng holding hands, with the assertive and powerful Gu Qingcheng leaning affectionately against Huo Sicheng’s chest.

This loving scene ignited an inexplicable anger within him.

Huo Sicheng didn’t spare a glance at Lu Chi, his eyes fixed solely on Gu Qingcheng, as he led her away from the hotel.

Lu Chi stood there, watching Huo Sicheng’s departure. His lips were tightly pursed, and the scars on his face seemed even more pronounced against his tense expression.

After taking a deep breath, Lu Chi left the hotel.

Silence between husband and wife spoke louder than words.

When they returned to the Wanmei Mountain Villa, it was nearly dawn. Huo Sicheng took Gu Qingcheng to the restaurant for a meal.

Gu Qingcheng watched Huo Sicheng’s thoughtful gestures, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.

She had spent the entire day humiliating Chu He, Gu Mei, and Qin Jun, but she had also faked being knocked out and kidnapped by Lu Chi. She hadn’t eaten or drunk anything, and now that she had relaxed, she realized she was famished.

He knew she was hungry, and the first thing he did upon returning home was bring her to the restaurant. It was gestures like these that made him so caring and warm.

In the restaurant, Huo Sicheng broke the silence and asked Gu Qingcheng, “It didn’t take two days to resolve the matter. Why did you say you wouldn’t be back for two days?”

Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng, his expression calm as ever, showing no sign of reproach.

“I estimated the time,” she honestly replied to Huo Sicheng. “If it had been resolved earlier, I would have come home right away. If not, two days would have been reasonable. Besides, it’s still early in the morning today, so it’s within the two-day timeframe.”

Huo Sicheng didn’t respond, gracefully continuing his meal.

After a while, Gu Qingcheng asked softly, “Did you come to find me because you were worried about me?”

Huo Sicheng’s answer was immediate. “Yes.”

Gu Qingcheng wasn’t surprised by Huo Sicheng’s response, considering that he had appeared at the hotel when he knew she was with Lu Chi, planning against Qin Jun.

Seeing Gu Qingcheng’s calm demeanor and her silence, Huo Sicheng couldn’t contain his suppressed emotions any longer.

He put down his chopsticks, gazing deeply into Gu Qingcheng’s eyes, and with a firm and commanding tone that brooked no refusal, he said, “Don’t ever do such dangerous things again!”

Gu Qingcheng looked into Huo Sicheng’s icy and determined eyes, her heart pounding. She slowly chewed the food in her mouth.

Huo Sicheng’s brows furrowed, and his voice carried a sharpness as he questioned Gu Qingcheng, “Did you hear what I said? Why aren’t you responding?”
