Huo Sicheng softly told Gu Qingcheng, "Gu Tianhao knows that Chu He wants a life of wealth and luxury, but he became Chu He's long-term sponsor for the sake of your mother."
Gu Qingcheng's face stiffened.
Her mother, Mu Xia?
Why was her mother being brought up again?
Seeing the change in Gu Qingcheng's expression, Huo Sicheng's eyes filled with sorrow.
He knew his words had reminded her of Mu Xia, and he tightened his arms around her.
"Qingcheng..."
Feeling the slight force in Huo Sicheng's embrace, Gu Qingcheng found comfort in the sense of protection he offered.
"Mhm, I'm here." She calmed the sadness arising from the memories of Mu Xia and gently looked at Huo Sicheng, saying, "I'm fine, continue telling me why Gu Tianhao married Chu He for my mother's sake."
