Chu He asked them, “What are you whispering about?”
Baby Chu immediately sat up straight and tried to hold back his laughter. Butler Fu stepped aside at once and didn’t say anything.
Chu He walked over and glanced at them before walking to the dining table to grab a sandwich and some milk. “I’m going to work. It’s getting late, don’t be late for school!”
Then, she left.
The moment she walked off, Baby Chu stood up excitedly and said to Butler Fu, “Really?!”
“Of course!” Butler Fu said happily, “Who knows, your mother might give you a little brother soon!”
When Baby Chu heard this, he felt a little upset. Butler Fu noticed his expression and saw the apprehension in it. He was a little surprised. “What’s wrong? Is Baby Chu unhappy to have a little brother?”
Baby Chu said sullenly, “I want a little sister!”
“Little sister?” Butler Fu was a little surprised. “Isn’t it great to have a little brother? That way, he can play with you!”
“I want a little sister who will be as as cute as Sheng’er!” Baby Chu pouted. “A little sister would be so cute!”
When Uncle Fu heard this, he said, “Whether it’s a little brother or sister, I like them both!”
“That’s true!”
Baby Chu added, “As long as it’s from Mommy and Daddy, either is fine! In the future, I’m going to be a big brother!”
Just as Butler Fu and Baby Chu were indulging in this joyous possible future of having a “little brother” and “little sister”…
Before she went to work, Chu He visited the pharmacy to buy some morning-after pills.
She popped the pill into her mouth and swallowed it with a gulp of distilled water that she had bought.
Even though it was during the safe period, Chu He was still worried.
This damned fellow…
Did she lose her mind last night, acting so crazy?
When she arrived at the office, a thought struck her. She opened the drawer and saw that the marriage certificate that was in it. She shut the drawer again.
…
In the afternoon, she received mission orders from her superiors to capture a criminal. Right after they had escorted the criminal to the interrogation room, she suddenly received a call from Meng Qingxue.
“Chu He, are you free tonight? We haven’t seen each other for a long time. How have you been?”
Hearing Meng Qingxue’s voice, Chu He naturally smiled. “Okay, I’m working now. I’ll probably be free after six.”
“Yeah, well… where do you work? I’ll pick you up.”
“You’re coming to pick me up?” Chu He smiled but did not refuse. She gave her the address.
At 6pm, Meng Qingxue stood at the entrance of the police station in a daze. When she saw Chu He, who had changed into casual clothes and was now walking out through the entrance, she was stunned.
The woman had actually… joined the anti-vice team?
If she remembered correctly, wasn’t Baby Chu’s biological father Gu Jinglian from the Gu family? This meant the boy’s father was an underworld figure while his mother was in the anti-vice business.
Wasn’t this… too much of a conflict?
Chu He was happy to see her and went up to hug her. It had been a long time since the two of them had met, and they both missed each other.
In the earlier days after settling into the Gu family residence, Chu He did not have the freedom to come and go as she wanted. Meng Qingxue had tried to contact her through Butler Fu, but because Chu He didn’t have permission to go out, they could not meet up.
Later on, Gu Jinglian released her from confinement. At that time, Meng Qingxue had just given birth and was breastfeeding. On top of this, she had to serve postnatal confinement and take care of the child.. All these made it difficult for her to get out and about.
