Chapter 115: Call Me Hubby

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Huo Sicheng: “See for yourself.”

Gu Qingcheng raised an eyebrow as she looked at Huo Sicheng.

“If it’s not money or a company like the last two contracts, then… Could it be money and assets again, given to me by you? The company?”

Huo Sicheng shook his head.

Gu Qingcheng looked at the documents before her with a complex expression, hesitating.

She had been cautious about the documents Huo Sicheng gave her after the confusion caused by the previous ones.

“Rest assured,” Huo Sicheng reassured Gu Qingcheng, “It’s not what you’re thinking.”

Only after receiving Huo Sicheng’s affirmation did Gu Qingcheng look at the contents of the documents.

When she saw the content, she looked at Huo Sicheng in astonishment.

“Where did you get all this?”

“Sent people to investigate,” Huo Sicheng responded softly, “Starting from the moment you mentioned Yuan Feng’s name.”

Gu Qingcheng excitedly looked through all the information about Yuan Qiaolan.

For her, this information was invaluable.

However, even after reading the information, she still didn’t find where Yuan Qiaolan held the leverage against Chu He.

“Yuan Qiaolan’s family doesn’t have the information you’re looking for,” Huo Sicheng brought water and fed it to Gu Qingcheng, “You don’t need to have any further contact with Yuan Feng.”

Gu Qingcheng chuckled, “Are you jealous?”

“Hmm,” Huo Sicheng affirmed.

Upon hearing Huo Sicheng’s response, Gu Qingcheng smiled with her eyes and eyebrows curved.

“Is it real or fake?” She teased him, “You, such a scumbag, getting jealous?”

“I’m really not a scumbag,” Huo Sicheng explained, “I’ve told you countless times that I have nothing to do with Ji Sisi.”

“No, Ji Sisi’s affairs are in the past,” Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng seriously, her eyes locked onto him, “I’m asking you seriously, honestly answer me, where is Xuan’s mother?”

Huo Sicheng’s lips twitched, and he fell silent.

Seeing Huo Sicheng’s expression, Gu Qingcheng pouted.

“I never cared about Ji Sisi. Can I really care about the ex-wife of your predecessor who had a child?” She huffed, “I’m just curious why the mother of Huo Xuan, your child, isn’t by your side.”

Huo Sicheng changed the topic, “You’ve been awake for a while, get some sleep.”

“I’m not tired,” Gu Qingcheng refused Huo Sicheng’s suggestion, “Answer me first, why didn’t Xuan’s mother marry you?”

Huo Sicheng’s voice turned serious, “I refuse to answer.”

“Are you afraid I’ll cause trouble for her?” Gu Qingcheng rolled her eyes at Huo Sicheng, “She gave birth to your son. Out of respect for you and Huo Xuan, I won’t cause any trouble for her.”

“Don’t bring up this matter again,” Huo Sicheng’s expression grew stern, his voice resolute, “I won’t answer you.”

Gu Qingcheng’s tone turned sour, “You’ve protected your ‘White Moonlight’ very well.”

She remembered what Zhao Shu had said to her.

She didn’t know what Huo Sicheng’s White Moonlight was called.

She only knew that Zhao Shu referred to Huo Sicheng’s White Moonlight as Miss Li.

He also said that in this long life, she would have to open her heart to him at least once.

She did open her heart to him, yet he still refused to tell her who his White Moonlight was.

Annoying.

She was really annoyed.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Huo Sicheng’s eyes. He reached over and took the information about Yuan Qiaolan from in front of Gu Qingcheng, then covered her with a thin blanket.

“Sleep.”

Gu Qingcheng ignored Huo Sicheng, pouting, and closed her eyes, ignoring this heartless scoundrel.

Due to her injuries and physical weakness, she quickly fell asleep.

When she woke up again, there was a cellphone on the bedside table, a gift from Huo Sicheng.

“Where did you find this?” she asked Huo Sicheng, “I thought I lost my phone.”

“Your old phone was already broken, ” Huo Sicheng fed Gu Qingcheng some water, “This is a new phone. All the contents from your old phone have been copied into it, so there’s no difference.”

Gu Qingcheng squinted her eyes, “Have you looked at my phone?”

“No, I didn’t copy the contents,” Huo Sicheng honestly told Gu Qingcheng, “I remember you didn’t want me to look at your privacy.”

He could easily access her phone’s content without even touching it.

But he wouldn’t do that; he didn’t want to see any flirtatious messages between her and anyone else.

Gu Qingcheng was slightly surprised.

“Well, you’re considerate,” she teased Huo Sicheng. Because her hands were still wrapped in bandages, she asked him, “Use my phone and contact Li Jing for me.’

“Sure.”

When Huo Sicheng opened Gu Qingcheng’s phonebook, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Inside Gu Qingcheng’s phonebook, he saw his own number at the top, even with a note she had left for him.

“Hubby” — these two words were at the top of Gu Qingcheng’s phonebook, marked, and saved.

Each of these words engraved themselves in his heart, bringing him an unprecedented joy and happiness.

She had never called him “hubby” in front of him. Most of the time, she referred to him as a scumbag or a jerk.

If he hadn’t looked at her phone, he would never have known she could call him “hubby.”

However, when she had asked him for his number back then, he had intentionally given her a new phone with his number and wanted to see how she would save his contact.

In countless scenarios, he had imagined her saving his number under various insulting names, but never “hubby.”

“Qingcheng…” His voice trembled slightly with unmasked excitement.

“Oh…” Gu Qingcheng replied absentmindedly, “Can’t find Li Jing’s number? I saved it as ‘Master Jing’ with the initials.”

Huo Sicheng leaned down in front of Gu Qingcheng, close enough that their breaths mingled.

Gu Qingcheng suddenly felt overwhelmed by his closeness, his breath enveloping her entirely. His narrow phoenix eyes shone like stars, causing her heart to race uncontrollably.

“What… What are you doing?” She swallowed nervously, her voice unintentionally soft and tender, “I’m… I’m still injured… Please… Please don’t do anything rash…

Honestly, he was such a fox. He was already starting to flirt and seduce her again.

“What did you save my number as?” Huo Sicheng’s gaze was intense as he looked deeply into Gu Qingcheng’s eyes, his lips slightly parted. His voice was low, magnetic, and husky, every word he spoke brushing against her lips.

Gu Qingcheng was a bit bewildered. What did she save his number as in her phone?

She thought for a moment before remembering what she had saved his number as, and it slipped out of her mouth, “Hubby.”

Huo Sicheng had fantasized about Gu Qingcheng calling him “hubby,” but it had remained just a fantasy.

The word “hubby,” sweet as honey, filled his heart with joy and happiness he had never experienced before.

His voice deep and magnetic, he responded, “I’m here.”

Gu Qingcheng was stunned, looking into Huo Sicheng’s radiant phoenix eyes and his expression of happiness. She then realized that she had actually called him “hubby.”

Boom.

Her mind went blank, her face flushed with heat, and an unexpected shyness overtook her. Hubby?

Yes.

When Huo Sicheng had given her the custom-made phone as a gift, the only number in the phone was his.

At that time, they had just gotten married, and she wanted to be a proper wife to him, so she had planned to call him “hubby” sooner or later.

However, their subsequent conflicts and disputes had led her to almost ask for a divorce, so she had never used that term.

But who would have thought that she would accidentally call him “hubby” now?

“What’s wrong?” Huo Sicheng’s phoenix eyes were intense, “It seems like you’re not very willing to call me ‘hubby,’ are you?”
