So infuriating!!
Chu He was on the verge of snapping! She had never realized that this guy was so childish!
Almost speechless for a moment, she finally said. “Gu Jinglian, you’re not a child anymore. You’re not Baby Chu’s age! Why are you smashing things up for no reason!”
At this tense moment, a young voice came from the stairwell. “What’s going on? So noisy!”
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice and saw Baby Chu hugging his soft toy, rubbing his sleepy eyes as he walked down the stairs. When he finally looked around and saw the mess downstairs, he had such a fright that he was wide awake in an instant.
All his sleepiness drained out of him.
“Ahhhhhh…”
Baby Chu followed the trail of destruction right to Chu He and Gu Jinglian, who were standing next to each other. Chu He looked like she was furious while Gu Jinglian had his nose up in the air. The boy had no idea what had happened and asked nervously, “What’s going on?”
Butler Fu rolled his eyes and immediately said, “Nothing! Your parents are playing around!”
“Playing around?!” Baby Chu was confused. “What game is this?”
Chu He looked at Butler Fu speechlessly, curious to see how he was going to smooth things over. Butler Fu had a flash of inspiration and immediately said, “Oh! This is hide-and-seek!”
“Hide-and-seek?” Baby Chu’s eyes lit up and he immediately cheered, “Baby Chu wants to play hide-and-seek too!”
With that, he shuffled over to Butler Fu in his slippers, attempting to skip a little. He tugged at the corner of the man’s shirt and said, “Let Baby Chu play too! Hide-and-seek! Hide-and-seek!”
Chu He was flabbergasted while Butler Fu fell silent.
Gu Jinglian suddenly said, “Change your clothes.”
“…?” Chu He looked at him in confusion. “What do you mean?”
“We’re going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate.”
Gu Jinglian was a man of few words, and a few words were all he needed to express his thoughts, no beating around the bush.
Chu He was stunned when she heard this. By the time she snapped back to her senses, Gu Jinglian was already walking up the stairs.
She caught up with him and asked in confusion, “Now?”
Gu Jinglian replied expressionlessly, “Now.”
“Didn’t you say we’d be going in the afternoon?”
She had taken the afternoon off, yet for no apparent reason, this man now wanted to go in the morning. He was just doing things at his own whim and fancy! He did not care that other people had to work. Gu Jinglian ignored her.
Butler Fu walked over and said to her, “It will be less crowded at the Civil Affairs Bureau in the morning.”
Chu He turned around speechlessly and looked at him. After a long silence, she asked, “Is he always so willful?”
Willful to the point of being completely unreasonable.
Butler Fu pondered for a moment and nodded helplessly. “That’s how Old Master is. Chu He, just go and register your marriage with him in the morning! Otherwise, there will be a crowd in the afternoon.”
Actually, what he wanted to say was to just get it done and over with. Old Master was finally enlightened and getting married. It had been such a long wait for Butler Fu that he no longer cared whom the man was going to marry! Any woman was good enough!
In addition, Chu He was Baby Chu’s biological mother. It couldn’t get better given this would mean the family was reunited.
Of course he didn’t dare to say this in front of Chu He. He didn’t want to upset her!
Butler Fu had been nerve-wracked. Coupling Old Master’s personality with Chu He’s unyielding nature, he wondered if these two people would get along well in the future.
Chu He sighed and said, “I understand. I’ll apply for leave.”
She then hurried upstairs.
Baby Chu, who was standing behind Butler Fu and feeling like he was being ignored, tugged at the corner of the man’s shirt.. “Butler Fu, are we not playing hide-and-seek anymore?”
