4684 Never Too Late to Love (91)
“Don’t get out of bed and walk around. Just eat on the bed.”
Bai Sheng was stunned and felt even more embarrassed. She felt that there was a hint of playfulness in his tone, as if he had seen through her predicant.
Could it be that this man knew that her legs were sore and swollen, so he didn’t let her get out of bed?!
“What’s the matter?” Gu Chengze sat on the side of the bed and looked at her. “Why aren’t you eating? Aren’t you hungry?”
!!
Feeling sowhat confused, Bai Sheng replied, “You should eat sothing too!”
“No hurry. I’ll eat when you’re done.” There seed to be so hidden aning in his words.
But Bai Sheng did not get it, obviously. In front of this big bad wolf, Bai Sheng was like an ignorant little white rabbit. She silently grabbed her chopsticks, grabbed the bread, dipped it in so jam, and took a bite. The soft bread coupled with the sweet jam was extrely delicious.
Bai Sheng was so happy that she felt like she was lting! His culinary skills were really good. He made perfect toasts.
“Is it good?”
“Uh huh.”
As Bai Sheng ate, she could feel his gaze on her the entire ti. She shrunk her shoulders awkwardly.
“This morning…”
She spoke hesitantly, not knowing if she should ask.
“Eh? What’s wrong?”
“My team leader called this morning. Did you answer the call?”
“Uh huh.”
“What did you say to her?”
“What’s the matter?”
Gu Chengze said, “I can’t rember.”
“She seed angry.”
Gu Chengze furrowed his brows before replying, “I said that you were sick and needed to take a week off. She said that the company doesn’t provide for such a long sick leave.”
“And you got mad at her?”
“Mad?”
Gu Chengze rubbed his chin and said truthfully, “I didn’t lose my temper, did I? Why? Did she scold you?”
Bai Sheng silently raised her phone and showed him the WeChat ssage sent by the team leader.
Gu Chengze took the phone and glanced at it. He saw what the team leader sent: Bai Sheng, did you do this on purpose?! Getting an outsider to apply for leave on your behalf instead of doing it yourself! The leave your husband has applied for you does not count. Today, it will be treated as absence without leave! Please co to work on ti tomorrow. Otherwise, it will simply be treated as absence without leave again.
“Absence without leave?”
Gu Chengze smiled. “Sure, it’s best if they just fire you.”
“Hey!”
Bai Sheng looked at him reproachfully and said, “It’s not easy to find a job now, yet you wish for to be fired.”
Gu Chengze put his arm around her shoulder and said confidently, “If you’re fired, won’t I have a reason to support you?”
Bai Sheng’s face turned red and she said reluctantly, “I don’t want you to take care of ! Girls should be independent and not rely on n to take care of them.”
“Have you been reading too many chicken soup essays in WeChat circle?”
“Eh?”
“Such as, n are unreliable. A woman has her youth only for a short ti and should use it to forge a path for herself. You can’t hold a man’s heart with your youth. When you grow old, you beco worthless. In the end, won who rely on n for a living will be eliminated by society…”
Bai Sheng was stumped. How did he know?
She had indeed read this kind of chicken soup essays.
Gu Chengze raised his eyebrows in displeasure. “Why? Do you think I’m the kind of scumbag depicted in the chicken soup essays?”
“No.”
“Or, are you lacking a sense of security altogether.”
A sense of security…
Bai Sheng nodded hesitantly.
She really didn’t have a sense of security.
She had always felt that she could only rely on herself.
If she relied on a man, it would be hell if he abandoned her one day.
