4616 Never Too Late to Love (23)
She was satisfied as long as there was tomato egg soup?
What a little glutton.
Gu Chengze said to her, “Tonight, I’ll make tomato egg soup, stir-fried cabbage, braised chicken wings, and sweet and sour pork ribs, okay?”
“Okay, alright.” Bai Sheng silently took a bite of the poached egg, feeling so blissful that her happiness was on the verge of overflowing.
!!
Was this the feeling of ho? It had been a long ti since she felt warmth like this. She rembered that the happiest ti of her life was probably when she was in school. At that ti, she went to a boarding school and was in school every week. She did not like to go ho because when she did, her aunt would scold her.
When she was in university, she rarely asked her aunt for money. Other than her tuition fees, she would earn her own living expenses. In fact, she would pay a portion of the tuition fees herself.
From then on, she understood that she was different from others. Her other classmates had parents they could rely on, but she did not. She was not carefree and pampered. From that mont on, she forced herself to be independent as soon as possible. She was afraid that a day should co when she would be kicked out of the house.
When she was little, whenever she made her aunt unhappy, her aunt would always say, “This is my house. If you have any backbone, get out!”
These words were especially hurtful. The hurt had never left her and it wouldn’t go away. Therefore, she had never felt a sense of security since she was young.
Gu Chengze saw that she seed to have a lot on her mind. Initially, her expression was gentle, but for so reason, she started to look as though she had sothing on her mind.
Then she snapped back to her senses and smiled. “Nothing… I was just distracted.”
She did not dare to tell him what she was thinking. People always said that girls had to be reserved and not show too much.
Gu Chengze said, “I have to go to work later. You should rest at ho, okay?”
“Uh huh.”
“Here’s our address. I’ll leave it at the side table. You can call if you need anything.” Then a thought struck him and he asked, “What do we do about your aunt?”
“Eh?” Bai Sheng was dazed for a mont before she replied, “She’s kicked out of the house.”
Gu Chengze nodded. “That was never your ho to begin with anyway. How could you be kicked out?”
Bai Sheng was stunned.
“Since last night, this is now your ho. Don’t make things too awkward with your aunt. Of course, if she’s sensible enough, she won’t make things too awkward as well.”
“Ahhh…” Bai Sheng suddenly had a thought and asked cautiously, “Should I… pay a proper visit to your parents?”
She finally mustered her courage to say this. Previously, she didn’t dare ask. What if he didn’t have parents or ca from a divorced family? Or if sothing else happened… wouldn’t it be too presumptuous of her?
However, he did not take the initiative to ntion it. After all, Gu Chengze had also visited her aunt and uncle. It was only etiquette to visit the in-laws. Etiquette was important.
When Gu Chengze heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly. “I’m just worried that you might not be ntally prepared.”
“ntally prepared?”
“You really won’t regret marrying ?” Gu Chengze continued, “Once you’ve t my parents, you may no longer have the chance to withdraw from this marriage.”
Divorce was not a concept that the Gu family embraced. They were traditional people. Gu Chengze had also kept this matter a secret from them.
