Gu Chen nodded. He was a little worried about Chu Xuxu. “Is it really okay for you to stay here?”
Chu Xuxu chuckled. She came over from the window and sat opposite Gu Chen. “Why not? Miss Tao’s parents seem to be very easy to get along with.”
Easy to get along with? Gu Chen felt that these words were not appropriate for him.
Gu Chen did not feel that her parents were easy to get along with. After all, they were the ones who had made things difficult for him previously.
“How do you plan to explain things to Auntie?”
Chu Xuxu tilted her head and thought about it. This seemed to be a very serious problem.
“I’ll contact mom on the phone.”This was the only way at the moment. Moreover, her parents were usually busy and did not have the time to care about them. Thus, Chu Xuxu thought that this could be resolved.
Gu Chen listened to her. Chu Xuxu had been more thoughtful than others since young, so there was no need for him to worry now.
“Yuechen came to look for you before.”Gu Chen had never told Chu Xuxu about this matter before, so he felt that he should tell her now.
Chu Xuxu paused for a moment, and her gaze darkened a little. Then, she smiled self-deprecatingly.
Gu Chen sat a little closer to Chu Xuxu. “Xiao Xiao, have you ever thought about –”
“No,”Chu Xuxu interrupted Gu Chen. “I’ve never thought of making him take any responsibility. Besides, how could he have the ability to take responsibility now?”
Gu Chen thought of the youth who had come that day and did not think that there was anything wrong with Chu Xuxu’s words. The current Chu Yuechen was indeed not mature enough in terms of intelligence.
“You don’t have to worry about me. Just focus on preparing for your wedding. I’ll be fine.”
Gu Chen nodded and chatted with Chu Xuxu for a while. When there was some movement from the other side, he stood up. “Xiaoxiao, actually, whether it’s uncle or our family, we’ve always treated you as family.”
Chu Xuxu paused for a moment and finally laughed. “I know, I’ve always known.”
From the moment her father carried her out of the pile of dead people and her mother brought her home from the Welfare Institute, she knew that her adoptive parents truly loved her as their own daughter. There was no doubt about that.
Tao Yao’s mother had bought quite a number of dishes. It was clear that she did not despise her father as much as she said she did.
Gu Chen wanted to help cook, but Tao Yao chased him away to chat with her father.
Mother Tao glared at her daughter and started to cook lunch. “He knows how to Cook?”
“Yes, he usually cooks. He said it’s a tradition in his family,”Tao Yao said with a smile.
Mother Tao looked at her daughter and felt that her daughter’s luck was really good. Otherwise, how could she have met such a man?
“Have you really decided to get married?”Mother Tao glanced at Gu Chen who was chatting with Father Tao outside. It was rare for Father Tao to be willing to speak. Usually, he would only speak after asking a few questions.
“Aren’t we waiting for your consent?”Tao Yao said and bumped her mother. “Just say yes or No, okay?”
“Let’s see.”Tao Yao’s mother deliberately took advantage of the situation to prevent her daughter from getting what she wanted.
Tao Yao slightly pursed her lips and didn’t say anything else.
Gu Chen, who was outside, had been talking to Tao Yao’s father about financial matters. Only then did he realize that Tao Yao’s father wasn’t a man of few words. When it came to financial matters, Tao Yao’s father was quite talkative, and Gu Chen especially liked some of his opinions.
Thus, Father Tao was still talking to Gu Chen even after they had finished cooking. Tao Yao felt that she could tell that she regretted not meeting him sooner.
