“Since ancient times, women should listen to men!” Gu Tianhao exclaimed angrily. “You women can only get what you want by coaxing men! If you can’t coax a man well, you’re a failure as a woman!”

Gu Mei’s anger ignited. “If a woman has to listen to a man, why doesn’t Gu

Qingcheng listen to you? She even scolded you!”

“That’s a shrew!” Gu Tianhao fumed at the thought of Gu Qingcheng. “You’re so refined that you can’t be compared to an ill-mannered woman!”

“But Gu Qingcheng is bold and unapologetic, yet you don’t dare to intimidate her at all. She lives more freely and comfortably than I do!” Gu Mei sneered. “You should be as fearless as Gu Qingcheng. Who would dare to bully her? I’m gentle, yet you and others only bully, accuse, and suppress me, isn’t that right?”

“Suppressing?” Gu Tianhao’s voice escalated and his expression darkened. “How dare you! You’re my daughter. What’s wrong with me holding you accountable and teaching you a lesson?”

Witnessing her daughter Gu Mei facing Gu Tianhao’s wrath, Chu He hastened to console her. “Dear, Xiao Mei is still young.”

Gu Tianhao pushed Chu He aside and berated Gu Mei. “I’m your father. My words are law. You must obey even if you disagree! Why don’t you consider your own stature and have the audacity to talk back to me!”

Gu Mei was profoundly disheartened by Gu Tianhao’s reaction. She retorted with anger, “I’m your daughter. How can you say such things about me?”

“You… How dare you retort!” Gu Tianhao stormed in front of Gu Mei and delivered two sharp slaps. “If you dare to talk back again, I won’t let it slide.”

Gu Mei’s cheeks turned red and swollen from the blows. Her eyes gleamed with malice as she clutched her assistant tightly.

A surge of murderous intent welled up within her, coursing through her veins.

She wished she could eliminate Gu Tianhao, eradicate him!

Observing her daughter, Gu Mei, being subjected to abuse, Chu He’s heart ached. Yet, as a woman, she didn’t dare defy Gu Tianhao. Displeasing him could jeopardize her life of luxury and financial security. She wouldn’t maintain boundless wealth and ease.

Unlike Gu Qingcheng, who chose a resolute path and lived independently.

For a woman, comfort came by relying on a man. Quarreling with Gu Tianhao was unthinkable.

“What are you waiting for? Return to your room,” she implored her daughter, Gu Mei. “Hurry back to your room.”

Gu Mei glared at her mother, Chu He, with resentment.

Her mother Chu He was her most admired figure. Beautiful and kind-hearted.

Now, seeing her mother Chu He appeasing Gu Tianhao, she realized her mother was subservient to him. She held no opinions, unable to discern right from wrong. Everything revolved around Gu Tianhao. She resembled a programmed robot.

She despised Gu Qingcheng, yet simultaneously envied her unyielding spirit, her refusal to bow to anyone’s authority. No one dared to trample upon Gu Qingcheng.

Women reliant on men were ineffectual!

With her heart ablaze, she exited the living room, consumed by loathing.

“Hey, arrange for an enforcer for me. I want someone eliminated. Price is no constraint, but it must be discreet.”

She hung up the call.

Dawn broke.

At Wanmei Villa, Gu Qingcheng had already risen, preparing nutritious millet porridge and exquisite appetizers.

Abruptly, strong arms ensnared her waist, pulling her into a sturdy, familiar embrace.

Huo Sicheng lowered his head, bestowing a kiss upon Gu Qingcheng’s lips. “I don’t want you toil in the kitchen.”

Gu Qingcheng reciprocated the kiss, offering a grin. “I want to cook for you and our son. Can’t I have this privilege?”

“Even if I object, it won’t change a thing.” Huo Sicheng grinned. “I can’t tame you, nor can you be swayed by me. In fact, arguing more might just provoke you.”

“At least you acknowledge that.” Gu Qingcheng grinned. “I’m your wife, overbearing and headstrong.”

Huo Sicheng chuckled.

Indeed.

Gu Qingcheng was audacious, and he cherished that about her. “Speaking of which, Hubby, there’s something I’d like to discuss.”

“What is it?”

“Our house is spacious,” Gu Qingcheng began. “With so many empty rooms, why don’t we have our son stay with us? It feels lonely for Xuan’er in that separate villa. We should all live together. It’ll be a lively family reunion. What do you think?”

Huo Sicheng’s heart skipped a beat.

The words ‘family reunion’ resonated deeply, infusing him with unprecedented joy.

Was Gu Qingcheng genuinely considering being his wife?

He hadn’t imagined that she’d forsake Qi Shaoze and truly commit to their relationship.

Regardless, her willingness filled him with happiness.

He raised an eyebrow, teasing her. “You can decide on such matters yourself.

No need to consult me.”

“I wasn’t asking for permission.” Gu Qingcheng slid from Huo Sicheng’s embrace. “Your staff might not heed me.”

Huo Sicheng’s eyes bore uncertainty.

“Let me clarify. I didn’t speak ill of Mr. Zhao. Spare him any trouble.” Gu Qingcheng met Huo Sicheng’s gaze. “I’m just concerned that we’re frequently at odds. I haven’t spent much time in the villa. Perhaps many staff members aren’t aware I’m the mistress. If I suddenly bring our son here to live, they might not find Xuan’er. They could jump to conclusions, fearing something amiss.”

He recognized her untruthfulness; he knew she pursed her lips and raised her gaze when she fibbed.

Yet, he wouldn’t expose her. No reason to embarrass her.

“You’re the mistress of this house. Do as you wish. You don’t need to heed anyone, even me.”

“Promise that so easily? I’m a bit flattered.” Gu Qingcheng chuckled. “But your words make me happy.”

“No need for flattery,” Huo Sicheng tenderly asserted. “You’re worthy of my love. ”

Gu Qingcheng’s eyes formed crescent shapes as her smile radiated bliss.

Perfect.

When they weren’t feuding or bickering, the ambiance was exquisitely tranquil. She resolved to avoid quarreling. While they enjoyed stability, she’d cherish every moment.

She resolved to avoid quarreling. While they enjoyed stability, she’d cherish every moment.

However…

Mr. Zhao’s words resounded in her mind—Miss Li.

What would she do if Miss Li returned to Huo Sicheng’s life?

Huo Xuan joined them in the dining room for breakfast, alongside Gu

Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng.

“Good morning, Mother.”

“Good morning, my handsome son.” Gu Qingcheng beamed as she held Huo

Xuan in her arms. “Mom cooked breakfast today. You should eat well to grow.”

“Mom’s cooking is the best. I love it,” Huo Xuan chirped, embracing Gu Qingcheng fondly.

Huo Sicheng gazed at Gu Qingcheng and their son with an affectionate expression. Then, his gaze shifted to Mr. Zhao, his stance resolute.

Outside the room, Mr. Zhao stood, attentive beside Huo Sicheng.

“Young Master, is there something I can assist you with?”

Huo Sicheng’s countenance turned icy, his long, narrow eyes sharp as daggers locked onto Mr. Zhao.

“Why did I dismiss you previously?”
