Chapter 419: Do You Miss Me?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Qingcheng did not pay attention to Qin Chong but instead glanced at Huo Sicheng from the corner of her eye.
It was rare for Huo Sicheng to keep the promises he made to her in the car. In the Qin family, he kept his distance from her, not disturbing her as she dealt with matters.
Qin Chong felt ignored by Gu Qingcheng, which angered him, but he continued to smile due to Huo Sicheng’s presence.
“Qingcheng, Jun has been very well-behaved recently,” he told Gu Qingcheng. “He stays at home every day, hasn’t gone anywhere, nor has he done anything to upset you.”
Only then did Gu Qingcheng slightly lift her eyelids to look at Qin Chong.
Qin Jun stays at home every day?
Qin Chong, being Qin Jun’s father, would naturally protect Qin Jun.
Thus, she only listened to Qin Chong’s words, waiting for Qin Jun’s arrival to determine the final outcome.
Seeing that Gu Qingcheng still ignored him, Qin Chong became uneasy.
Qin Jun caused trouble everywhere. He often cleaned up his son’s messes, and with Qin Jun cheating and betraying Gu Qingcheng, she despised Qin Jun completely. Now with Huo Sicheng’s support, getting rid of them was as easy as stepping on ants.
He had only this one son and would not allow Gu Qingcheng to harm Qin Jun.
“Cousin-in-law, if Jun does something wrong and angers you, you can tell me,” he once again broke the silence to speak to Gu Qingcheng. “I will personally discipline Jun to give you an explanation.”
Gu Qingcheng still ignored Qin Chong, believing that talking to him was a waste of breath.
Qin Chong asked Gu Qingcheng for a long time, but she still ignored him, making him turn to Huo Sicheng nervously.
“Cousin, what’s going on?” he asked Huo Sicheng. “If Jun has done something wrong, as his father, I have the right to know what happened.”
Huo Sicheng sat by the window, his tall figure radiating elegance and nobility.
The sunlight poured over him, enveloping him in a divine glow.
His deep, black eyes were fixed only on Gu Qingcheng, ignoring Qin Chong’s questions.
Furious, Qin Chong felt blatantly ignored by Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng.
He was the head of the Qin family and chairman of the Qin Corporation, but in front of Huo Sicheng and Gu Qingcheng, he felt utterly humiliated.
Always proud, he was furious at Gu Qingcheng and once again regretted not having eliminated Huo Sicheng when he had the chance, leading to his current
Dlight.
Qin Jun was confined to the house by Qin Chong, but his personal freedom was not restricted. Today, dressed in a white tracksuit, he was called to the front hall while playing tennis at home.
Before he could stand still, he saw Gu Qingcheng, her face frozen in arrogance, then quickly turned his head around and saw Huo Sicheng sitting not far away.
To him, he despised Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng, blaming them for his confinement and the ruin of his reputation.
His nervousness turned to caution against Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng.
Whenever Gu Qingcheng sought him out, it never meant anything good.
As his displeased gaze moved between Gu Qingcheng and Huo Sicheng, he suddenly felt an accusing stare fixed on him.
Startled, he looked over and met his father Qin Chong’s angry gaze.
“I haven’t done anything,” he hurriedly explained to his father, trying to avoid any misunderstanding: “Dad, you’ve had me confined at home for half a month now. I’ve never gone out, you can check the surveillance, I haven’t gone anywhere or done anything bad.”
Of course, Qin Chong knew his son was home every day, but convincing him was futile; what mattered was Gu Qingcheng’s opinion.
“Sicheng, Qingcheng, you’ve heard it,” he said, looking at them. “Jun is at home every day.”
Gu Qingcheng’s gaze had already fallen on Qin Jun. Just one look at him, and all the hatred in her blood screamed for her to kill Qin Jun and avenge her own death.
But she was not blinded by anger. She slowly stood up from the sofa and walked over to Qin Jun.
“Let’s go for a walk.”
When Gu Qingcheng said this, not only was Qin Jun shocked, but Huo Sicheng also changed his expression.
He didn’t like Gu Qingcheng and Qin Jun being alone together, partly out of jealousy and partly because this was the Qin family home, where he worried about her safety.
Qin Chong was surprised that Gu Qingcheng wanted to talk to Qin Jun alone, especially since she hated Qin Jun so much, finding even a glance at him distasteful, let alone spending time alone with him.
But since Gu Qingcheng wanted to see Qin Jun, he couldn’t stop her and could only watch as Gu Qingcheng and Qin Jun walked out together.
“Sicheng, don’t worry, Jun has been behaving,” he said, trying to reassure the expressionless Huo Sicheng. “He won’t anger your cousin-in-law, don’t worry, be assured.”
Huo Sicheng then looked at Qin Chong, “He better not anger my wife, or the consequences will be beyond what you and your son can bear.”
Qin Chong’s face turned from pale to white, his expression stiff, and his lips trembled without saying a word.
At that moment, Gu Qingcheng and Qin Jun were walking together.
Qin Jun’s forehead scar was still there, but he seemed to have forgotten the pain once the wound healed.
“Qingcheng, have you missed me?” he asked with feigned gentleness, trying to appeal to her emotions. “It was my fault before, you…”
“Shut up.” Gu Qingcheng interrupted Qin Jun’s words with disgust. She felt nauseated just hearing his voice.
Playing the emotion card with her?
Not only was Qin Jun’s emotional appeal useless, but she was also disgusted just by hearing his voice.
Her hands, hanging down, were clenched into fists, suppressing the hatred that urged her to kill Qin Jun.
“I was kidnapped these past few days,” she said, enduring the nausea and staring coldly at Qin Jun.
Qin Jun, thinking about how to improve his relationship with Gu Qingcheng, froze with his fake tenderness at the mention of kidnapping.
“You kidnapped me last time, I broke your head and took away a hundred million,” Gu Qingcheng watched Qin Jun’s changing expressions, her words pointed. “So it’s no surprise you’d kidnap me again.”
Hearing Gu Qingcheng’s words, Qin Jun instinctively touched the scar on his head, thinking of the hundred million he was extorted by Gu Qingcheng and Lu Chi, still furious.
But his mother, Bai Si, had covered the money, so he hadn’t been exposed by his father. Now, brought up by Gu Qingcheng, he was still filled with resentment.
But he couldn’t admit to something he hadn’t done, especially since kidnapping Gu Qingcheng, whom he considered contemptible, had already failed once, and knowing Lu Chi was protecting her, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to kidnap her a second time.
“I didn’t kidnap you, don’t frame me,” he immediately retorted emotionally to Gu Qingcheng. “I know you hate me for cheating on Gu Mei and betraying you, but you can’t use that to frame me.. You can’t do this to me, do you understand?”
