Huo Sicheng’s breath came in heavy, irregular gasps.

Summoning all his strength, he managed to respond to Gu Qingcheng’s inquiries in a low, husky tone.

“I need some fresh air,” he uttered with these few words, his patience wearing thin. He couldn’t resist the urge to leave swiftly any longer.

Gu Qingcheng was left without words.

She rose from her seat and headed towards the door to accompany him.

It appeared that the restaurant’s atmosphere was weighing heavily on him.

In truth, she had been feeling stifled throughout the meal as well. Fortunately, Huo Sicheng had been by her side, providing her with the strength to endure until now.

“Qingcheng, where are you going?” Seeing Gu Qingcheng about to leave, Gu

Tianhao spoke up, “I haven’t finished my meal yet.’

“Wherever my husband is, I’ll be there,” Gu Qingcheng replied without even turning her head to address Gu Tianhao. “You can dine on your own. We’re done.”

As she stepped out the door, she noticed that Huo Sicheng was nowhere to be found. She was puzzled. Where had he gone in such a hurry?

“Qingcheng, dinner’s not over yet,” Chu He’s voice rang out as she approached Gu Qingcheng. Her eyes bore into her with a hint of aggression as she continued, “Someone like you wants a woman. Huo Sicheng is not only disabled but also blind.”

Gu Qingcheng shot Chu He a sharp, unyielding look. “Chu He, if you dare speak ill of my husband again, I won’t hesitate to slap you.”

Chu He’s face tensed, and she instinctively shielded her face with her hands, still bearing the memory of the pain from Gu Qingcheng’s previous slap. “You dare to strike me? Do you know that I can easily reveal your weakness?” “Go ahead,” Gu Qingcheng goaded Chu He. “If you don’t, you’re just a coward.”

Chu He was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Gu Qingcheng to remain unfazed.

“You… Are you truly unafraid?”

“Hmm!” Gu Qingcheng let out a cold laugh. “If you truly intended to expose my weakness, you could have done it on the day of the Peach Lotus Cup. Why wait until today? Do you think I’m unaware of your intentions? The reason you possess something against me is to use it as leverage. Once you expose it, you won’t be able to threaten me anymore, and I will deal with you.”

Chu He’s face turned as white as a sheet. She hadn’t anticipated Gu Qingcheng guessing her motives.

“That’s correct. I have no intention of revealing your weakness. At least, I take satisfaction in having the means to threaten you for now.”

“I can see that you excel at threats,” Gu Qingcheng responded with a meaningful smile. “Do you still recall the last time I returned to the Gu family, and you faked a fall to harm me?”

Chu He felt a shiver run down her spine at the sight of Gu Qingcheng’s bright smile.

Whenever Gu Qingcheng smiled so brightly, trouble was bound to follow.

“What do you plan to do?”

“Oh…” Gu Qingcheng’s expression appeared innocent. “On that day, Gu Tianhao broke my phone, but I managed to get it repaired at a store. Everything stored on it remains intact.”

Chu He paled in fright and struggled to regain her composure.

Gu Tianhao had assured her he would delete the video upon taking her phone, making Gu Qingcheng’s statement appear false.

“I can sense that you’re quite skilled at making threats,” Gu Qingcheng remarked, amused. “Remember, I won’t forget how you tortured me with those steel needles and insulted me in that tiny dark room. I won’t let it slide.”

“You…” Chu He faltered, her strength waning. “You can’t make that video public. You can’t harm Gu Mei.”

Gu Qingcheng’s smile blossomed like a flower. “Whether I release Gu Mei’s video or not depends on you, Chu He. Will you sacrifice your daughter to protect your ability to threaten me, or shall we trade information?”

Chu He was rendered speechless.

Seeing Chu He’s hesitancy, Gu Qingcheng chuckled. “You keep professing your love for Gu Mei.”

Chu He’s expression soured even further.

“Take your time.” Gu Qingcheng was done arguing with Chu He and added coldly, “Refrain from threatening me in the future. I’m capable of anything.”

Chu He was overwhelmed by Gu Qingcheng’s words, nearly stumbling to the ground.

Oh no!

Not only could she not threaten Gu Qingcheng, but she herself was now under threat by Gu Qingcheng!

Did this mean she had to sacrifice her daughter, Gu Mei?

At that moment, Gu Qingcheng sought out Huo Sicheng. This was the Gu residence, and she didn’t want anything to happen to him.

Meanwhile, Gu Mei urged her mother, Chu He, to return to the dining room and accompany her father, Gu Tianhao. She positioned herself beneath an evergreen tree not far from the dining room, intending to find a servant to help her get Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng to leave.

But before she could locate any servants, Huo Sicheng left the dining room.

His face was flushed, his breathing was ragged, and his desire was palpable, making her shiver with anticipation.

She wanted it.

She wanted Huo Sicheng like this.

When his drug took effect, she could serve as his catalyst and become his lover.

She quickly pushed the wheelchair in pursuit of Huo Sicheng, but he had already departed hastily.

She felt a growing sense of urgency. She couldn’t afford to let this opportunity slip away. Otherwise, it might be challenging to find another chance to ensnare Huo Sicheng.

He reached up to loosen his tie. The heat coursing through his body was almost unbearable.

Gu Mei chased after him for a while, finally catching up. She hastily composed herself and inched closer to him.

“Brother-in-law…” Her voice was seductive and breathless as she sought to tempt Huo Sicheng. She reached out, her intentions clear. “You look uncomfortable.. Would you like some relief?”
