Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Qingcheng felt a chill run down her spine, and then she saw Huo Sicheng’s dark eyes suddenly staring at her body with a burning passion. She froze for a moment, then subconsciously looked down.

With a bang, her mind went blank. A surge of hot blood rushed to her forehead, and her cheeks were burning. She was at a loss for what to do with the unprecedented shyness.

Huo Sicheng humiliated her for taking off her clothes, but he stopped himself in the end. He didn’t expect her to take off her clothes in such an unexpected way.

This was something she did not expect, and it made her hurriedly cover her important parts with her hands.

Facing Huo Sicheng’s increasingly bright eyes, she shouted in embarrassment and anger, “Huo Sicheng, turn around. Don’t look!”

Huo Sicheng suddenly came back to his senses, and a faint blush appeared on his fair face. He cleared his throat and turned his back to Gu Qingcheng.

But even when he turned his back, he could still hear the sound of Gu Qingcheng’s clothes rubbing against his back. The image of her naked body came into his mind, and his breathing quickened.

His Adam’s apple bobbed as he pursed his thin lips. He felt his mouth and tongue dry. The heat from his body made him raise his hand to pull off his black tie, but it still made him uncomfortable.

Damn it! Gu Qingcheng, this little vixen, had made him lose his mind!

Gu Qingcheng wished she could find a hole to hide in. She had never been so embarrassed in her life.

The more anxious she was to zip up her back, the more her hands trembled. She couldn’t zip it up, no matter how hard she tried. She was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat.

“Young Master, Little Young Master, he…” Zhao Shusheng, the housekeeper, suddenly walked in. When he saw Gu Qingcheng’s disheveled appearance, he turned and left in shock.

Gu Qingcheng heard the voice and saw the look on Mr. Zhao’s face. She knew he had misunderstood that she and Huo Sicheng must’ve been doing something private.

She hurriedly turned to Uncle Zhao and explained, “Uncle Zhao, it’s not what you think…”

However, before she could finish speaking, Uncle Zhao had already left. She was so anxious that she stomped her feet and tried to zip up again. Her hands trembled, and she still could not put on her clothes.

“Don’t move.” Huo Sicheng’s deep and hoarse voice sounded.

Gu Qingcheng froze. The next moment, her trembling hands were held by a pair of cold hands. She held her breath, and her heart raced.

“What are you doing?” She asked with her voice trembling.

Huo Sicheng didn’t say a word. He stared at Gu Qingcheng’s smooth back with his bright eyes, and his breathing became erratic.

Suppressing the throbbing in his heart that was unique to Gu Qingcheng, he zipped up her shirt with trembling fingers.

Gu Qingcheng was surprised by Huo Sicheng’s thoughtful gesture. He even tidied up her dress carefully and gentlemanly. She liked him so much that her heart was pounding.

However, a cunning look flashed across her eyes. She took a deep breath and turned around to face him.

Her gaze fell into Huo Sicheng’s starry eyes. His eyes showed no contempt or disgust, only desire and tenderness.

At this moment, she knew that no matter how much Huo Sicheng hated her, his love for her would never change.

Huo Sicheng quickly put on a cold expression and looked at her, but she was not angry. Instead, she said gently, “Although Qin Jun and I have been dating for many years, he has never even touched my hand, let alone seen my naked body. You’ve seen me all over today. You have to take responsibility for me.”

Huo Sicheng was surprised. He didn’t expect Qin Jun to have not touched Gu Qingcheng’s hand for so many years. She was so fair and flawless, and he couldn’t help but regret humiliating her for taking off her clothes.

Seeing Huo Sicheng keep his mouth shut, Gu Qingcheng leaned forward and lifted his chin with her long fingers. She said slowly, “Don’t hide from me because you can’t hide from me in this lifetime. So let’s get married.”

Up close, Huo Sicheng could smell the fragrance of magnolia on Gu Qingcheng’s body. Her warm breath brushed against his cheek, making his body tense up.

Her clear eyes did not have Qin Jun and only had his face. It was as if he was her everything in her world. This gave him a sense of satisfaction.

However…

Complicated emotions flashed across his eyes. He opened his thin lips and asked in a low voice, “I’m asking you one last time. Are you sure you want to marry me?”

“Yes.” Gu Qingcheng said firmly.

“Alright.” Huo Sicheng liked Gu Qingcheng’s answer. He took out his phone and dialed a number. He ordered coldly, “Marriage certificate.”

Those two simple words told Gu Qingcheng that Huo Sicheng wanted to marry her right now.

She understood that he was actually afraid that she would break off the engagement after one night, but what he didn’t know was that she would love him alone for the rest of her life.

“Before the marriage certificate is delivered, you still have a chance to regret it.” Huo Sicheng looked at Gu Qingcheng with a deep gaze. “You’d better…”

Gu Qingcheng smiled at Huo Sicheng, and before he could finish, she kissed him on the lips.

She would never regret it.

Huo Sicheng’s pupils constricted. The softness of Gu Qingcheng’s lips and her clumsy kiss made him want her so badly that he was about to go crazy.

But he knew that he couldn’t. He couldn’t scare her, so he could only suppress his desire for her.

In the living room, two red marriage certificates were placed on the table in front of Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng.

Huo Sicheng was holding a marriage certificate in his hand. On it was a photo of their wedding.

In the photo, he was expressionless, and she was smiling like a flower. The two of them were surprisingly compatible.

There was a momentary daze in his eyes. He still couldn’t believe Gu Qingcheng would marry him.

Gu Qingcheng looked at the marriage certificate with satisfaction, then looked up at the assistant to the president of the Huo Corporation, who was standing respectfully in front of her. “Chu Yu, your photography skills are great.”

Chu Yu was wearing a blue suit and gold-rimmed glasses. He was a refined man, and when he heard Gu Qingcheng’s compliment, he quickly said, “It’s my honor to satisfy Miss Gu.”

He subconsciously glanced at President Huo, his eyes filled with confusion. Even though Gu Qingcheng was the eldest daughter of the Gu family, she had mistreated President Huo.

Although President Huo was disabled, he was decisive in the business world of Jiang City. No one dared to provoke him, lest they might disappear without a trace.

Ever since he joined the Huo Corporation and became President Huo’s assistant, he had seen Gu Qingcheng insult him in all sorts of ways, but he had always tolerated her.

At first, he didn’t understand why Mr. Huo tolerated Gu Qingcheng. But later, he realized that he had always tolerated her because he loved her.

Every time she was in trouble, President Huo would ask him to help her solve the problem without her noticing.

Many of her tricky issues had been solved by him in secret, but Qin Jun would take all the credit. He did feel that it was unfair to President Huo, but as an assistant, he had no right to interfere in President Huo’s personal affairs.

Besides, Gu Qingcheng was the girlfriend of President Huo’s cousin’s son, Qin Jun, so there was no way President Huo would steal his nephew’s girlfriend.

Now, President Huo and Gu Qingcheng’s actions tonight would shock him for ten thousand years. He wondered how the two of them, who were sworn enemies, would get married.

Gu Qingcheng had been doing whatever she wanted in Jiang City for so many years, and this was something Mr. Huo really liked.

In Jiang City, no man other than Qin Jun dared to want a shrew like her.

Could it be that Mr. Huo had been keeping Gu Qingcheng as a pet and had deliberately spoiled her to the point no man would dare to take her? In the end, had he pulled her into his net, and made Gu Qingcheng his alone?

If Gu Qingcheng was really a fish that President Huo had been pampering for ten years, he was too patient.

However, given Gu Qingcheng’s terrible reputation and fiery temper in Rivertown, he worried more about Mr. Huo’s safety.

Gu Qingcheng didn’t notice the change in Chu Yu’s expression. She stood up and said to Huo Sicheng, “We’ll keep the marriage certificate each. It’s very late. I’ll find Uncle Zhao and ask him to arrange a room for me. You should sleep early too.”

It was Huo Sicheng’s turn to block Gu Qingcheng’s way.

“What are you doing?” Gu Qingcheng asked, confused.

“We just got married, and we’re sleeping in separate rooms? Don’t you know that married couples have to sleep together?” Huo Sicheng stared at Gu Qingcheng and said meaningfully, “What’s wrong? Are you afraid that I will eat you up? Or do you just want to get a marriage certificate and not fulfill your duty as a wife to become my woman?”
