Did it mean any uncle who would accompany him to a parent-teacher meeting would be the “best”?
Baby Chu looked him up and down, and noticed that he was wearing a casual shirt. He suddenly stood to the side, crossed his arms, and sized him up.
Gu Jinglian met his gaze doubtfully and raised his eyebrows. “What?”
“Are you going to wear this today?”
“Yeah.”
“Why aren’t you wearing a shirt and suit?”
“Too troublesome.”
Furthermore, the more ordinary and casual he looked for this particular event, the better it was.
Baby Chu was not satisfied, however. “Uncle looks more dashing in a suit!”
In Baby Chu’s opinion, Gu Jinglian looked most handsome in a well-pressed suit!
The man clenched his fists. “You’re pushing your luck.”
“Wear a suit! Wear a suit! You look so handsome in a suit!” Baby Chu clung on to his arm and begged.
Gu Jinglian’s patience hit its limit. Just as he was about to flare up, Butler Fu’s words suddenly came to mind. “Young Master is so pitiful you know, Old Master? In his heart, you’ve always been an imposing figure. You can’t ruin this heroic image!”
He held back his anger.
Ten minutes later, Chu He had changed her clothes and come downstairs. She saw Butler Fu tidying up Baby Chu’s clothes as the little guy ate breakfast with relish at the dining table.
Butler Fu smiled at her when he saw her coming down.
Chu He felt a little awkward and asked, “Where is he?”
“Old Master went upstairs to change into his suit.”
“A suit?”
Chu He was puzzled. “It’s just a parent-teacher meeting. Why would he need to dress so formally?”
Baby Chu said confidently, “Because Uncle is the most handsome in a suit!”
“…” She was speechless.
Soon, Gu Jinglian had changed into his suit and come downstairs. When he saw Chu He, he ignored her and walked past her into the dining room.
Baby Chu was stunned the moment he saw the man in the suit.
The boy’s eyes widened and he immediately jumped down from his seat. He circled around Gu JInglian and exclaimed in amazement, “Oh my god! Uncle is so handsome! I knew it! Uncle looks most dashing in a suit!”
Gu Jinglian glanced at the boy silently, but the little fellow suddenly pulled him to Chu He’s side, forcing them to stand next to each other.
Baby Chu rubbed his chin and squinted his eyes as he sized them up, as if he was studying them.
Chu He’s body stiffened.
Gu Jinglian asked the boy frostily, “What are you looking at?”
“Why do I feel like something is missing?” Baby Chu urged them, “Stand closer.”
Gu Jinglian was dumbstruck.
“…Baby Chu, stop fooling around!” Chu He chided him.
“Aiya! Other kids’ parents are very loving! Why are you standing together looking like enemies?”
Baby Chu walked forward and pushed Gu Jinglian closer to Chu He. The tall man standing beside her made her feel as if the entire world had become too narrow.
The man’s face had turned ashen.
Why was this parent-teacher meeting so troublesome? They even had to put on an act?
Baby Chu continued, “Uncle, smile! No…” The little fella shook his head and said sternly, “I have to make this change! I can’t be calling you uncle anymore!”
He walked up to Gu Jinglian and held the man’s big palm with both hands. He said coquettishly, “Daddy, you should hold Mommy’s hand! Otherwise, people will think that you don’t have a good relationship!”
As he spoke, he stuffed Chu He’s hand into Gu Jinglian’s palm.
Chu He retracted her hand reflexively, her face burning.
