4671 Never Too Late to Love (78)
That being said, Gu Chengze would have learnt nothing from Chu He all these years, if this didn’t arouse his suspicion.
“But I think your aunt is really young. She doesn’t look like she’s much older than you. I’d have believed she was your cousin.”
…
After hanging up the phone, he hesitated for a long time before deciding to give Chu He a call.
As soon as the call connected, Gu Chengze said icily, “Mom, were you just at my apartment?”
“Rascal, you’re finally calling me?” The woman huffed. “When did you get married? You didn’t even tell your own mother! I had to find out about this from Linxi!”
“Where did he hear that from?”
When did Gu Linxi become so big-mouthed?
“Anyway!” Chu He said angrily, “You shouldn’t have kept it from me.”
“Mom, did you recognize her?” Gu Chengze suddenly asked.
After a moment of silence, Chu He said, “Bai Sheng must have suffered a lot.”
“Uh huh.” Gu Chengze sighed and said, “No matter what, from now on, I’m not going to let her suffer even a little! I don’t care about the past, but since she’s my wife now, if anyone dares bully her, I won’t let them off.” He paused, and sighed again with lingering fear. “No matter what, it’s great to have met her again! I thought I’d never see her again in my life!”
At the time, he was a child running after the car that drove her away. He had run after her without reservations because he felt that if he lost her then, he might never see her ever again.
Unexpectedly, fate had brought them together once more, somehow. When he recognized her as Bai Sheng, he vowed he would never allow himself to let go again!
Gu Chengze had been a nostalgic person since he was a child. His drinking mug had been with him for ten years, and the color on his blanket had faded. He continued using them. His favourite teddy was so old but he would still carry it in his embrace, refusing to let go.
Once a nostalgic person falls in love with someone, it lasts for a lifetime.
Chu He knew that her son was nostalgic, so she had never urged him to get married. Liking someone was a matter for a lifetime.
She nodded and said, “As long as you like her! I like Bai Sheng too. The two of you have been close since you were young. I’m happy that you’re together.”
“Have you thought about when to hold the wedding ceremony?” Chu He asked, “All girls look forward to their wedding ceremony but you’ve married her just like that. Didn’t you give any word of when you might host a wedding ceremony?”
“Mom, I don’t think she recognizes me.” Gu Chengze sounded a little disappointed. “Has she forgotten me?”
“A girl’s memory is generally not as deep as a boy’s.” She paused for a moment before continuing, “Besides, you’ve changed so much. How could she recognize you?”
Gu Chengze kept silent. It was obvious that he was still a little disappointed.
Bai Sheng had been his goddess since he was young. In fact, there were many girls in the class who liked Gu Chengze, but only with Bai Sheng did he feel like he was wrapped in the bliss of a cool breeze.
He had liked her for many years. Unexpectedly, she seemed to have forgotten him.
Gu Chengze said, “No matter what, she’s my wife now. I’ll take good care of her.”
The woman sighed. “I need to digest this as well.”
“Digest what?”
“The fact that I’ve been promoted to being a mother-in-law.”
