“…”
“I’m kissing you.” After Gu Jinglian said this, his thin lips came down again.
This time, the kiss was much gentler. His mouth sealed over hers as he gently sucked on her lips. Chu He too, gradually got used to this kiss and stopped resisting…
She looked up into Gu Jinglian’s deep eyes. On the windows were the bright red paper cuttings of the character “joy”. It seemed she could almost imagine what it would be like on the day of their marriage. However, in a way, it was also hard to imagine..
What sort of clothes he would wear when he would walk up to her and take her hand? Would his smile on that day be as solemn as it usually was? Would he hold her hand wearing that usual dispassionate look of disapproval?
She could not imagine. She had never even thought that such a day would come for her to be married to such a man.
When she heard the name Gu Jinglian for the first time, besides a sense of unfamiliarity, she also felt an inexplicable hostility.
This name echoed like thunder throughout Interpol. As an undercover agent, she had frequent and close contact with this man and had a different understanding of him. Vicious, cruel, unscrupulous, and always able to corner his opponent then walk away without a care in the world. At that time, how could she have ever imagined that she would one day become his wife?
She remembered, this man had once made it clear that he would never marry and have children like other men. She never thought that she would have such an adorable and well behaved son with him, much less, be married to him.
“Gu Jinglian…” Chu He suddenly spoke.
“Uh huh?”
“Do you really want to marry me?
Gu Jinglian raised his eyebrows. “Why are you suddenly asking this question?”
“Didn’t you say that you’d never get married?”
She continued, “Could it be that our wedding is a game to you? Or is it just compensation for Baby Chu?”
Gu Jinglian’s gaze flickered. He turned his eyes away but did not answer immediately.
Chu He held his face and forced him to turn his head to look at her. She probed further, “Getting married means that we will be together forever. Are you willing to spend the rest of your life with me?”
The man pursed his thin lips tightly, unable to speak.
Chu He was a little angry. “Are you sincere about being with me?”
“Of course!”
“Well…” Chu He finally asked the question in her heart, “Do you like me?
She did not dare to mention the word “love”, nor did she dare to imagine that such an arrogant man like Gu Jinglian would commit to a woman for life. However, even if he liked her a little, this liking would have more weight than what most other men might term “love”.
Gu Jinglian stared at her for a while before suddenly asking, “Do you like me?
He asked this with an awkvvard expression.
Chu He smiled at this question and replied “I do!”
She decided not to hide it anymore. Perhaps her initial decision to settle down in the Gu family residence was purely to give Baby Chu a home. Other children had parents, but Baby Chu did not. She had always felt ashamed over this. By doing this, to put it nicely, she was sacrificing her own lifelong happiness. But bluntly speaking, it was for selfish reasons, to fulfill Baby Chu’s dream of having a family..
