Huo Si sat in front of the table. His black suit made him look slender, and his entire body exuded a noble, sharp, and cold aura.

His dark eyes stared at Gu Qingcheng, who was serving lunch not far away, and he couldn’t help but tighten his grip on the table.

She had long black hair that reached her waist. Her beautiful face was smiling, and her eyes were as bright as the stars. There was unconcealed joy in her eyes.

Compared to the fiery Gu Qingcheng he had seen before, the one before him was a stranger, but she was beautiful, like a lily waiting to bloom. For a moment, he wanted to go up and smell her fragrance.

When this thought appeared, he only felt a wonderful emotion bloom in his heart. He liked this feeling. However, this wonderful feeling made his eyes complicated.

“Get out.” His thin lips parted into two cold words.

Gu Qingcheng’s hand, which was holding her chopsticks, paused. Although she had come to the Huo Corporation without informing Huo Sicheng, he didn’t really have to chase her away.

Moreover, she had been enemies with him for so many years. She did not know his number and had no way to contact him.

She was a little upset. This was the first time she had cooked for a man, and it was for Huo Sicheng. He was so heartless to her!

If Huo Sicheng had given her a hard time in the past, she would have fought back long ago, but she couldn’t treat him like that now.

After all, he was her husband and not her sworn enemy.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down and told herself not to be angry. When she walked to Huo Sicheng and took out her phone, she realized that her phone had been smashed, in no thanks to Gu Tianhao. She hadn’t had the time to buy a new phone yet.

“Write down your number. Next time, I’ll call you in advance to ask if you have time to eat together.” She took a pen and serviette from the table and placed them in front of Huo Sicheng. “You don’t have to eat. I’ll take them with me.”

Huo Sicheng noticed the change in Gu Qingcheng’s mood. Seeing her smile disappear because of what he had said, a trace of annoyance flashed across his eyes.

He had never been the type to explain himself, but for Gu Qingcheng, he would always make an exception.

“I’ll let Chu Yu out. I’m not asking you to leave,” he explained to her with a hint of gentleness in his cold tone.

Gu Qingcheng was shocked. Didn’t Huo Sicheng chase her away?

Chu Yu was stunned. He had thought that Huo Sicheng had asked Gu Qingcheng to leave, but it turned out that he was the third wheel.

Embarrassed, he hurried to the door. Before he left, he glanced at the dishes that Gu Qingcheng had brought. He knew that she was up to no good. She had indeed come to harm President Huo.

“What happened to the phone?” Huo Sicheng asked Gu Qingcheng coldly.

Gu Qingcheng was surprised that Huo Sicheng was looking at her phone. She told him honestly, “I went back to the Gu residence this morning. Gu Tianhao broke it.”

Hearing this, Huo Sicheng felt a chill down his spine, and his phoenix eyes turned dark.

Gu Qingcheng could sense Huo Sicheng’s anger. She knew that he was cold on the outside, but she was still in his heart. She couldn’t help but feel warm inside.

“So what if it fell? I’ll buy another one later.” She looked at Huo Sicheng gently. “Give me your number first. I’ll save it after I change my phone.”

Huo Sicheng stared at Gu Qingcheng for a moment, then pressed the button on his wheelchair and came to the table where she had placed her lunch.

Gu Qingcheng raised an eyebrow. If Huo Sicheng didn’t write it, she couldn’t force him.

Anyway, he would not chase her away. She could come and go freely in the Huo Corporation from now on. It did not matter if she wanted the number or not.

She sat on the chair opposite Huo Sicheng, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and took the initiative to pick up a prawn and put it in his bowl.

“Spicy shrimp, this dish is very delicious. Do you like it?”

Huo Sicheng looked at the shrimp in front of him that were dyed red by the chili, but he didn’t start eating immediately.

Seeing that Huo Sicheng didn’t want to eat the food she had picked up, Gu Qingcheng quickly explained, “New chopsticks. I haven’t used them before, so don’t worry. I won’t spit on them.”

“I don’t mind your saliva.” Huo Sicheng told Gu Qingcheng word by word.

Then, he picked up the shrimp and put it in his mouth. His face immediately stiffened, and a trace of red appeared on his jade white face. He ate the shrimp with some difficulty.

Gu Qingcheng was so shocked by Huo Sicheng’s straightforwardness that she forgot about the pain he was feeling while eating the shrimp.

It took her a long time to come back to her senses. Her cheeks were a little hot, and there was a hint of shyness in her eyes. She never expected Huo Sicheng to say such ambiguous words to her.

“It tastes good.” Huo Sicheng picked up the glass of water on the table and took a big gulp. He elegantly picked up a napkin and wiped the corner of his mouth. “Which restaurant are you from?”

“Which restaurant?” Gu Qingcheng wasn’t happy to hear that. She raised her voice and said unhappily, “You look down on me too much! I made these myself.”

Huo Sicheng was surprised that Gu Qingcheng knew how to cook. He looked at her angry face, and a look of self-blame flashed across his eyes.

“I didn’t know you could cook.” He spoke softly, and his words had a deeper meaning. The dishes you cook are very delicious. I’m sure you spent a lot of effort to learn how to cook for Qin Jun.”

“Qin Jun, that scumbag, doesn’t deserve to have my cooking! I’ve never cooked for him either.” Gu Qingcheng exploded at the mention of Qin Jun. She slammed the table and glared at Huo Sicheng. “Why did you mention Qin Jun during dinner? If you don’t want me to eat, just say it!”

Huo Sicheng saw that Gu Qingcheng was angry, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing his happiness.

“Let’s eat.” He picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of Turbot for Gu Qingcheng. “Anything else? I’ll get you some food.”

Gu Qingcheng glared at Huo Sicheng angrily. Seeing that his attitude towards her had suddenly softened, she was stunned for a moment before a look of uncertainty flashed across her eyes.

She was clearly so angry, but he seemed to be in a good mood.

Could it be that he had deliberately brought up Qin Jun just now to trick her into telling him that he was only so happy because he knew that she had never cooked for him before?

Good heavens, so he was jealous!

He was such a coquettish man, yet he was so jealous.

“I want to eat this.” She noticed that his jealousy and anger had subsided, and her mood had improved. She propped her chin on her hand and deliberately said, “After I learned how to cook, you’re the first person besides me to eat my cooking.”

Huo Sicheng felt even better when he heard that.

“That would be my honor.”

“Of course.” Gu Qingcheng nodded proudly and picked up her chopsticks to help Huo Sicheng eat some seafood.

It was difficult for two archenemies to have lunch together happily.

“I don’t have anything to do in the afternoon. Do you want me to pick lil’ Xuan from school?” After the meal, Gu Qingcheng put the empty bowls and chopsticks back into the lunchbox and asked Huo Sicheng, “You can come back earlier after you’re done with your business. I’ll make dinner for you.”

Huo Sicheng stared at Gu Qingcheng for a while, then reached his hand out to her. “Come here.”

Gu Qingcheng was stunned. Her eyes fell on Huo Sicheng’s slender hands. What did he mean by that?

Suddenly, she felt a burning gaze locked on her. She looked up at Huo Sicheng and instantly fell into his burning and starry eyes.

She had never known that a person’s eyes could attract her so much. There was no doubt that Huo Sicheng had done it.

His phoenix eyes were as bright as the stars, but they also carried a fatal attraction. It made her heart beat faster and she could not move her eyes away. She wanted to drown in his eyes forever.

She swallowed with difficulty and asked with a red face and a heartbeat. “What are you doing?”

Huo Sicheng stared at Gu Qingcheng with his bright eyes.

“What do you think I’m doing?” His voice was low and hoarse.

Gu Qingcheng felt that Huo Sicheng’s voice was as mesmerizing as a cello. Her heart was pounding and her bones were weak.

“How would I know what you’re going to do?” She bit her lower lip and pouted.

Huo Sicheng saw Gu Qingcheng’s face turn red, and her eyes were like silk. Her soft voice made him stop breathing.

He had seen Gu Qingcheng many times, but he had never seen such a beautiful side of her. His heart skipped a beat, and he felt a surge of emotion in his chest.

Seeing Huo Sicheng’s intense and passionate gaze, Gu Qingcheng nervously avoided his gaze. She wanted to get out of here.

Suddenly, she felt a chill on her hand. Her body trembled as she looked up, and she once again fell into Huo Sicheng’s dark phoenix eyes that seemed to have magic.

Huo Sicheng had never thought that he would be able to hold Gu Qingcheng’s hand. Her hand was soft and warm, and the warmth seeped into his bones through his palm, warming his heart and body.

His fingers gently caressed her palm. Every caress carried the longing he had endured for many years.

Gu Qingcheng felt the coldness of Huo Sicheng’s hand. This was the first time she had seen him show her his true feelings, not his expressionless face.

The gentleness that flashed in his eyes and the caress on his palm made her legs go weak as if she had been electrocuted. Her heart beat wildly and her face burned.

“Huo… Huo Sicheng…” She said with a trembling voice, “I… I still have something to do. I’ll leave first…”

She was so shy and flustered that she wanted to pull her hand back to escape this ambiguous feeling. However, she suddenly felt a tight grip on her waist and fell into a firm and fragrant embrace.

She was so close that she could clearly see her nervous expression in Huo Sicheng’s eyes and feel his warm breath on her face.

She had never known that Huo Sicheng could emit such an aggressive aura that covered her entire body. She was completely defeated in front of him and collapsed in his arms.

Huo Sicheng stared at Gu Qingcheng’s beautiful face in his arms, and his breathing became erratic.

He couldn’t hold it in any longer. He gently tapped the back of her head and lowered his head to kiss Gu Qingcheng’s cherry red lips…
