Chu He and Gu Jinglian got out of the car. Butler Fu came up to them carrying Baby Chu. He looked at Gu Jinglian with a smile and then at Chu He. He asked happily, “How did it go? Was the parent-teacher meeting interesting?”
Gu Jinglian’s brows furrowed. He suddenly thought of the ghastly games he had played at the event and his face turned gloomy! Chu He also recalled the unhappy incident before she left, and didn’t look too pleased.
“Boring.”
“Boring.”
The two of them spoke almost in unison. With that, they headed for their respective rooms.
Butler Fu was left standing there in a daze with Baby Chu still in his arms!
…
In the study, Gu Jinglian stood by the bed and looked through the window into the yard. Baby Chu was playing by the pool with the soft toy in his arms.
There were a few burly men standing beside him. Although they were fierce-looking, when they looked at Baby Chu, their eyes were filled with adoration.
Ever since Baby Chu settled down in the Gu family, he seemed to have become the family’s mascot. Everyone liked him. These tough guys had fought their way through life, living on the edge of a knife. However, when they came into contact with Baby Chu, their warmer side surfaced.
Children are just like animals. They are incomparably innocent and arouse the tender affection in the depths of one’s heart.
Someone knocked on the door.
Butler Fu pushed open the door and walked in with a tray of snacks. Seeing that Gu Jinglian was standing at the window, he placed the tray on the table and walked up to him.
“Old Master, you must be tired out today?”
Gu Jinglian looked through the window and his gaze fell on Baby Chu. The boy was hugging his toy and laughing loudly at the few thugs, revealing his cute little bunny teeth. He was extremely naive. Doting smiles gradually appeared on the men’s normally stone-cold face.
When Butler Fu heard the noise, he curiously followed Gu Jinglian’s line of sight. He realized the man was staring at Baby Chu and immediately said, “Baby Chu is very happy today! I can tell that he especially likes this toy! This isn’t like the ones bought outside. Old Master won this for him! He treasures it so much!”
Gu Jinglian’s smile deepened.
When Butler Fu saw him smiling, he knew in his heart that although the Old Master would usually not show any emotions, in reality, he doted on Baby Chu.
When Gu Jinglian noticed that Butler Fu was secretly amused, the smile on his lips instantly disappeared, returning to its usual coldness. The man went back to his desk and picked up the teacup to take a sip from it. Then he instructed the butler, “Help me investigate someone.”
“Old Master, of course.”
The man put down his teacup and said coldly, “Li Xianlai.”
“This person… What’s wrong?” Butler Fu asked in surprise. “Did he offend Old Master?”
“Investigate this person’s background.”
“Yes.” Butler Fu took this instruction and left immediately.
…
Late night.
Gu Jinglian was done with the matters at hand and was about to go to bed after a shower. At this point, a thought struck him. He groped his way to Baby Chu’s room and saw that the room was silent and empty. Under the moonlight, he could tell that there was no one on the bed.
Baby Chu was not in his room.
He left the room and pa.s.sed by Chu He’s room. He stopped and turned around to gently open the door.
He looked into the huge bedroom, and saw that Chu He was lying on the bed with her arm around Baby Chu. Her breathing was shallow and she was sound asleep.
Baby Chu had kicked up a fuss that lasted till late at night, and she finally managed to coax him to sleep.
