4701 Never Too Late to Love (108)
“Why should I regret it? I’ve liked you since we were young!”
Bai Sheng’s words stunned Gu Chengze. He had never thought that Bai Sheng had liked him since he was young. In his memory, Bai Sheng was like a goddess.
Children of that age did not understand the love between adults. They didn’t know what love was, but they knew what fondness was. Children would also have feelings for each other.
The greatest manifestation of adoration was that many boys were very willing to play with Bai Sheng. No matter how naughty a boy was, he would be shy the moment he stood in front of Bai Sheng. Naturally, Gu Chengze also adored Bai Sheng.
Therefore, to him, Bai Sheng was the most beautiful and unattainable person. She was beautiful, desirable and unattainable.
But when Bai Sheng told him that she liked him too, although Gu Chengze’s expression did not change, his emotions were like the fireworks.
Bai Sheng gazed at him and saw how his handsome face was slightly flushed, he looked just like Baby Chu when they were young and the boy had just transferred to their class.
At the time, he stood on the podium with an awkward expression, looking around with eyes that were filled with anticipation and a little fear.
At that point, Bai Sheng had taken the initiative to walk forward and give him a big hug. Baby Chu’s face then immediately turned a bright scarlet and he looked a little shy.
…
When Gu Jinglian saw Chu He coming back downstairs, he immediately came over with a nosy expression. “How did it go?”
His wife looked baffled. “What do you mean?”
Looking solemn, he probed, “Does this count as meeting the in-laws?”
“…Yes of course.” Chu He looked at him like he was an idiot. “Congratulations on becoming a father-in-law.”
“Good.” He clapped his hands gently. “I thought he’d never find a wife.”
Chu He’s eyes twitched. “How little do you think of your own son?”
“This is the daughter of the Bai family. What if it hadn’t been for her?” He asked matter-of-factly, “What if these two children had not been fated to meet? This lad is not even 30 years old. If we didn’t urge him, of course he’d be unwilling to go on dates.”
“I can only say that he’s loyal. Once he has someone at heart, he’ll not abandon them.” Chu He paused, feeling some trepidation.
Indeed.
Gu Chengze and Bai Sheng were fated to meet again. If the two of them never met again, who knew when Gu Chengze would be able to get over her.
The man walked to the birdcage and held his finger out to play with the bird.
Chu He continued, “Since the child is already married, it’s time to prepare for the wedding. We can’t let the girl suffer.”
“Alright, do as you see fit.” Gu Jinglian spoke in a casual tone.
Chu He wasn’t impressed by that. “Why do you look so indifferent? Why don’t you care about your son’s marriage?” she asked in disdain.
“My son is getting married, not me. Why should I be panicking?” The man turned to it parrot. “Don’t you agree?”
The parrot suddenly straightened its neck and rolled its eyes. Then, it repeated, “Call me daddy! Call me daddy!”
“…” Gu Jinglian felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him.
This bird usually did not speak, but when it did, it was hilarious.
