Chapter 3464: A New Addition (80)

When they arrived at Li Xiaofeng’s apartment, the driver said, “We’re here!”

Chu He instructed, “Please don’t stop the meter.”

When Li Xiaofeng saw that he was already home, he sat up slowly and searched for his wallet to give her money.

Chu He said, “That’s not necessary, I’ll settle the bill.”

“You sent me home. I should give you the money—”

“It’s okay.” She continued, “Just take it that it’s coming out of my full service award for the leave I’m taking tomorrow.”

Li Xiaofeng sighed and got out of the car. Suddenly, he realized that he had said something he shouldn’t have. He turned around and apologized guiltily, “Sorry, Chu He, I… seem to have lost my composure today!”

Chu He smiled at him. “It’s alright. It’s just that I don’t want you to judge someone without first understanding them.”

With that, she shut the car door and instructed the driver, “We can go now. Please take me to Cuifu Avenue.”

Just as the car was about to drive off, Li Xiaofeng suddenly placed his hands on the rolled down window and said bravely, “Chu He, won’t you consider me?”

Chu He turned around in surprise.

The man continued sincerely, “I’ve thought it through on the way here! Whether you have a child or not, I like you! Liking someone is something that can’t be changed easily! If you’re willing… I can be a good husband! A good… father!”

Chu He looked at him expressionlessly and said calmly, “Sorry, I’m not willing.”

“…”

Li Xiaofeng did not expect her to be so straightforward and reject him without so much as a moment of hesitation.

Embarrassed, he smiled weakly and let go.

The car sped away.

Just as it did so, Li Xiaofeng’s phone rang.

He picked up the phone and a man’s voice started speaking.

“Captain, how’s the progress?”

“Exactly! Did you make any progress with Chu He?”

“We deliberately asked Chu He to send you home. Did you seize the opportunity?”

Li Xiaofeng was speechless. “What progress? There’s no progress whatsoever! Don’t come up with stupid ideas in the future!”

With that, he hung up the phone angrily. Li Xiaofeng held his aching forehead and wondered how he was going to face Chu He tomorrow.

On the way, Chu He’s phone rang as well.

It was Gu Jinglian’s number.

She picked up the phone and Gu Jinglian’s cold voice came from the other end. “Why aren’t you home yet?”

“I’m on the way.”

“Why are you running so late?”

Chu He replied, “A colleague got drunk and I sent him home.”

Send a colleague home? Gu Jinglian was stunned. For some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable. He asked, “Would that be a man or a woman?”

Chu He didn’t expect him to ask such a question. The way he asked was as if he minded. Puzzled, she retorted, “Is it important whether it’s a man or a woman?”

Gu Jinglian was speechless.

“It’s a man.” Chu He replied, then asked, “Is Baby Chu asleep?”

Beep, beep, beep…

“…”

The line was dead. She could tell that she had pissed him off. For some unknown reason, she had offended him again.

Chu He stared at her cell and muttered, “Throwing a tantrum again?”

How capricious. His mood changed, just like that..
