Huo Sicheng gazed gently at Gu Qingcheng.
“I thought you knew.”
Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng with rippling eyes.
“Everything is what you think, and that’s why we have so many contradictions.” “My fault,” Huo Slcheng confessed.
Gu Qingcheng shook her head. “You’re not wrong, the mistake is mine, I forgot this memory.”
“Nobody’s wrong.” Huo Sicheng tightened his arms around Gu Qingcheng’s body. “It seems your forgetting is caused by that illness.”
“That illness?” Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng in surprise. “Which one?”
After she finished speaking and thought about it, she suddenly remembered the illness Huo Sicheng was referring to.
That year, after she returned from the Longshan Cemetery to the Gu family, Chu He forcibly sent her to boarding school.
She was five years old that year, and having never been away from home, she didn’t know how to survive at school.
During her time at the boarding school, there were four people per dormitory, but no family would send a five-year-old child to board at school, so she lived alone in the large dormitory, trembling with fear, and fell seriously ill with a high fever due to the open window in her room in late autumn.
She lay alone in the dormitory, with only the school doctor visiting her daily, almost waiting for death.
Just when she thought she was going to die in the school dormitory, a gentle ladt suddenly came and took care of her around the clock until she recovered, and then the lady disappeared.
She always thought it was her mother who came back, but she knew it wasn’t her mother. The lady introduced herself as Madam Wu, so it wasn’t her mother, Mu Xia.
However, she was certain that the memory of seeing Huo Sicheng at Mt. Dragon Cemetery was lost during that illness.
Although she forgot the memory, her brain still occasionally revealed it to her in dreams.
She would also dream of her mother, who always held her gently, giving her a great sense of security and warmth.
“The first year you boarded at school, you were ill,” Huo Sicheng gently told Gu Qingcheng. “I specially sent someone to take care of you until you recovered, and then the person I sent left.”
Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Sicheng in shock, “That… Madam Wu was the person you sent?”
“You still remember her name.” Huo Sicheng was surprised, and he gently replied, “Yes, it was Madam Wu who took care of you.”
Gu Qingcheng never thought that after so many years, she not only remembered the first time she met Huo Sicheng, but also that he had saved her when she was almost dying from illness.
Huo Sicheng had always been saving her, through organ donation, and blood transfusions, her life was saved by him.
She realized she owed him so much and felt more remorseful for hurting him, bullying him, and having conflicts with him.
“Hubby, I’m sorry,” she apologized to him. “I was too capricious before.”
“Shh.” As soon as Huo Sicheng heard Gu Qingcheng’s words, he gently placed his fingertip on her lips, “Don’t say sorry, I’ve told you many times.”
“One more time doesn’t matter,” Gu Qingcheng lightly bit Huo Sicheng’s finger, and suddenly she stiffened and chuckled, “But one thing doesn’t change another. I still need to know about Miss Li.”
Coming full circle back to the matter of Miss Li, Huo Sicheng’s eyes flickered, and he said softly, “Alright, I’ll tell you…”
“But I’ll have to wait,” Gu Qingcheng finished for Huo Sicheng, “I’ll wait, I’ll wait for you to tell me.”
Huo Sicheng hugged Gu Qingcheng tenderly, “Soon, it’ll be over soon.”
Today, Gu Qingcheng learned so much, and she was in a good mood, so when she heard Huo Sicheng asking her to wait again, she wasn’t angry.
After lunch, Huo Sicheng hugged Gu Qingcheng affectionately for a while before leaving Royal Dance, as Li Jing came to the office to find Gu Qingcheng, and she had to be busy, he wouldn’t disturb her.
Gu Qingcheng personally supervised Ziyu while choreographing her solo dance.
By six o’clock in the evening, she was about to leave for the villa, and Ziyu also needed to rest, as she was about to drive away.
“Qingcheng, a lady has been asking to see you,” Li Jing stopped Gu Qingcheng who was about to leave, “Security told me this lady has been waiting for you for four or five hours. I met her, and she said she’s Mr. Zhao’s wife and that you would see her.”
At the mention of Mr. Zhao, Gu Qingcheng’s brows furrowed.
“No,” she decisively refused.
She still remembered what Mr. Zhao told her about Miss Li that night, causing her and Huo Sicheng to have conflicts until today.
Nothing good ever came from Mr. Zhao’s appearance, even if it was his family members.
“Okay, then I’ll refuse this Ms. Wu,” Li Jing said.
“Wait a minute,” Gu Qingcheng was surprised. “Ms. Wu?”
“Yes, Ms. Wu is the one who has been waiting to see you,” Li Jing gently told Gu Qingcheng, “She said her last name is Wu, Mr. Zhao’s wife. Who exactly is Mr. Zhao? It’s a strange title.”
Gu Qingcheng didn’t know why, but hearing the surname Wu reminded her of the Madam Wu who took care of her as a child when she was with Huo Sicheng at noon.
Mr. Zhao was Huo Sicheng’s butler, serving in the Huo family for many years.
This Ms. Wu was Mr. Zhao’s wife, someone Huo Sicheng could command…
She thought about this and interrupted her train of thought, “I’ll meet this Ms.
Li Jing was surprised that Gu Qingcheng had previously refused but now wanted to meet, but she didn’t think much of it and replied, “Alright, Ms. Wu is in the guest hall. I’ve already asked the secretary to prepare tea. You can go and meet her.”
Gu Qingcheng got out of the car and walked towards the guest hall.
As she entered the guest hall and saw Ms. Wu, she was stunned.
Sitting in the guest hall were a man and a woman. The woman, Mr. Zhao’s wife Madam Wu, was dressed in a brown cheongsam, elegantly and gently dressed, but her eyes were full of worry and concern, as if she was afraid Gu Qingcheng wouldn’t meet her.
The man sitting next to Madam Wu, in his thirties with a crew cut, had a face similar to Mr. Zhao’s, wearing a tea-colored suit, sitting respectfully.
When Madam Wu heard the sound of high heels, she looked up with a somewhat dazed expression.
At a glance, she saw Gu Qingcheng standing at the door, looking at her in surprise.

Gu Qingcheng, dressed in a moon-white knee-length dress, with her long hair in a simple bun and wearing apricot-colored high heels, exuded an elegant and noble aura.
“Miss Gu…” Madam Wu’s eyes filled with joy as she stood up from the sofa, pulling her son. “Son, this is Miss Gu.”
Upon hearing his mother’s words, Mr. Zhao’s son quickly stood up and respectfully said to Gu Qingcheng, “Miss Gu, hello, I am Mr. Zhao’s son, I…”
“You are Madam Wu…” Gu Qingcheng looked at Madam Wu joyfully, “It’s you, I knew it was you, it really is you…”
“Ah…” Madam Wu was startled.. “Miss Gu, what do you mean by me? What’s wrong with you?”
