One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire’s Sweet Love - Chapter 3452

“Marriage isn’t just a matter of a few words. Look at how casual you sound, like you’re buying groceries at the market.”

Gu Jinglian asked bluntly, “When is your rest day?”

“…”

“Are you free tomorrow?”

“I’m not free. I have to work.”

“Then the day after tomorrow?”

“I have time the day after tomorrow, in the afternoon.”

Gu Jinglian said, “Then the day after tomorrow it shall be.”

Suddenly, Chu He smiled as she continued to dry her hair. “Since you’ve said it, we’ll meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau the day after tomorrow afternoon. Hmm?”

She, too, was indifferent towards marriage. If it weren’t for Baby Chu, she wouldn’t have bothered with his request. Although she did not expect this man to take the initiative to suggest it, she was not terribly surprised.

She realized that Gu Jinglian really doted on Baby Chu, although it wasn’t the superficial kind of doting. A father’s love, compared to the meticulous way that a mother would love her child, is more obscure. Perhaps it was very awkward for a man like Gu Jinglian to express his love for Baby Chu superficially. However, even in very small matters, he would unconsciously show his love and protect the boy. To the point of indulging him.

She did not even dare to imagine what sort of rage the Gu Jinglian of the past would have flown into, if he were to be locked in a room. She should be glad that the person who locked them in the room was Baby Chu, not anyone else. Even if had been Butler Fu, Gu Jinglian would still have flown into a rage.

She did not know if Baby Chu was considered a lucky child. His father was not just any man in the street. Gu Jinglian’s background meant that Baby Chu would not be ordinary in the future. One day the boy would grow up and learn of Gu Jinglian’s identity. She did not know if he’d end up surprised or afraid.

However, what was the saying?

When you want to protect the person you love, you have to pick up your weapon. But when you hold a weapon in your hand, you can’t embrace the person you love.

Chu He walked to the sofa and said to Gu Jinglian, “That’s settled then. The afternoon of the day after tomorrow.”

The two of them were not people who liked to sit on things. They were not that pretentious when it came to marriage. Unlike other women, she was not one to seek romantic love. She also did not demand that two people needed to be in love with each other, in order to be together. Besides, this was only a matter of formality. It was just a process!

Gu Jinglian was not surprised by her straightforwardness. This woman was different from other women. She was stubborn and headstrong, but she did not have the slightest bit of pretentiousness like other girls. This, ironically, made him feel comfortable with her.

Chu He took out a blanket from the wardrobe and walked over to the sofa. She laid it out quickly and said to Gu Jinglian without turning to look at him, “Well, you might have to suffer a little tonight sleeping in this room. You can have the bed, I’ll sleep on the sofa.”

Without waiting for Gu Jinglian to respond, she laid down on the sofa. The sofa was two meters long, more than enough space for her to lay down without feeling restrained. She covered herself with the blanket and prepared to sleep.

Gu Jinglian glanced at her for a moment before returning to the bed. However, he was no longer sleepy as he lay on the bed. After turning out the lights, the room went dark, lit only by the moonlight outside.

He sat up and looked at the sofa. Chu He was wrapped in the blanket and sleeping quietly.

She was very quiet when asleep. If not for her soft breathing, he would not have felt her presence.

He suddenly got off the bed and walked over to the sofa. The man looked down at Chu He’s sleeping face. Her black hair was spread over the pillow like seaweed.

Only when she was asleep did the sharp edge that she bore subside.
