Chapter 3776: A New Addition (392)
However, when it came to household ch.o.r.es, Chu He really did not know how to do them. Bringing up Baby Chu by herself in the past, she only had some basics. In addition, the Gu family residence was huge and there were so many servants, she did not need to do much.
Chu He only answered, “My husband doesn’t need me to do housework.”
As soon as she said that, the group’s expressions changed.
“I’m so envious!”
“It’s good to have a husband who dotes on you.”
“My husband, on the other hand, would chide me if the water is not filtered properly. You really can’t compare different people.”
Aixue asked, “Chu He, where’s your husband?”
“Uh, outside.”
“Why didn’t you let him in?!”
“That’s not nice, is it? He’ll be the only man here.”
“So what? Let him in!”
Chu He smiled. “There’s really no need! He can’t join in the conversation, so I asked him to wait for me in the other rooms. It’s fine.”
Aixue was a little upset. All these people were here because they wanted to see how das.h.i.+ng Chu He’s husband was. If Chu He wouldn’t let her husband show his face, they’d think she was bragging!
Chu He, on the other hand, was only concerned with asking her for knitting advice. “I want to knit a hat for my little one. Look, am I doing it right?”
As Aixue picked it up to take a look, one of the women commented in an odd tone, “Aiyo, can’t you just buy a hat? It’s too damaging to one’s health to be knitting it. I wouldn’t be happy doing that. A hat isn’t expensive.”
Chu He said, “After all, it can’t be compared to one’s own effort. My family wants to wear things that I knit.”
“My little one thinks that my knitting is too ugly and refuses to wear it.”
Aixue gave Chu He some knitting tips, which the latter immediately put into practice. After that, Aixue urged her again, “Chu He, why don’t you ask your husband to come in? He’d be so bored being left alone in the private room! There are so many of us here, at least we can chat and exchange our thoughts.”
Chu He thought about it and decided against it.
“No it’s okay, he’s not good at interacting with people.”
Gu Jinglian might not be keen. Given his personality, he would not give face to anyone who annoyed him.
Aixue looked a little embarra.s.sed. Someone else chipped in, “Chu He, it’s not like your husband is so unpresentable. Didn’t that Meijia from the chat group remark that your husband must be very ugly? Hehe, show him to us and we can be your witness.”
Chu He replied, “Is appearance so important? I’m not from the Appearance a.s.sociation.”
“Aren’t you with your husband because he’s handsome?”
“It has nothing to do with whether he’s handsome.” She added, “I’m with him because he’s man enough.”
Men are different from women. Although people talk about women’s rights all the time, the fact is that men are stronger than women. Hence, the responsibilities they bear are heavier.
Being man enough was simple enough, however it was still something that many men were not able to achieve. She had taken a liking to Gu Jinglian because he was responsible and because he was man enough. Although he had an awkward personality and would not say what he meant, he had a soft heart even though, his tongue was sharp and unforgiving. The two of them often bickered, but there was no doubt that Gu Jinglian was protective of her.
Aixue said, “Chu He’s husband dotes on her a lot, haha! He’s tall and handsome, but he doesn’t look easy to get along with. I think he’s an aloof person.”
“Aloof?”
“Exactly. Unsmiling and an aggressive aura.”
“Haha, did you say foolish or aggressive?”
“Aggressive, haha.”
