At the very least, Chu He didn’t react badly to these foods.
However, what surprised Madam Qin the most was that even though she was pregnant, Chu He maintained her emotions well.
It is said that during pregnancy, especially during the mid-term, pregnant women would often lose control of their emotions and become very irritable. Sometimes, they may lose their temper for no reason.
However, Chu He wasn’t like that. Her emotions were so extremely stable that it made one’s hair stand on end. She was calm and composed, no different from usual. On the other hand, Gu Jinglian’s temper seemed to have changed significantly.
In Chu He’s presence, he would not show any negative emotions no matter how foul a mood he was in. However, towards others, his temper was worse than before. In particular, every time Chu He threw up whatever she had just eaten, he would go to Madam Qin to throw a tantrum, blaming her for not having done a good job preparing the food. As a result, Gu Jinglian was especially irritable when he saw Chu He suffer.
He was never good at expressing himself in front of Chu He, but his heart ached for her. Everyone could tell!
One time, Chu He found out about it and felt especially bad. Whether she vomited or not had nothing to do with the food that Madam Qin prepared.
The repulsion she felt was instinctive, she would react to the slightest trace of grease. Perhaps she would feel much better after this period of time.
Chu He guiltily went to see Madam Qin and apologized to her, but Madam Qin laughed!
“I was wondering what serious matter brought you here! Sigh, it’s all fine. Old Master’s temper has already greatly improved! In the past, he had a foul temper all the time.”
“Did he get angry often?”
“Losing his temper often is not necessarily bad. At least, he’d feel better venting his anger than keeping things to himself.”
Madam Qin mentioned some of Gu Jinglian’s past.
In the past, Gu Jinglian had a ruthless way of dealing with matters. For example, if a servant accidentally broke a vase, the man would definitely drive her out of the Gu family residence without another thought. Now, he might look displeased, but at most, he would give a verbal warning. He was no longer so ruthless that he’d not give any leeway.
“Moreover, the fact that Old Master reprimanded me like that could only mean that he dotes on you. Think about it, he blames me because you throw up after eating my cooking. His heart aches for you, so naturally, he can only vent his anger on me. I’m already old, and he’s still young. How can I be calculative with him?”
As Madam Qin spoke, she laughed.
Chu He looked helpless. “You have spoiled him since he was young. If I had been around, I wouldn’t have let him develop such a bad temper.”
“Old Master doesn’t have a bad heart. Rumors have it that he’s very bad, and he has a terrible reputation! However, as long as you interact with him sincerely, Old Master’s heart is actually very gentle.” Madam Qin sighed again. “You say that we doted on him and spoiled him, but we also feel sorry for him. Old Master has always been lonely and self-reliant… since he was young. He is not close to anyone. We watched him grow up. But think about it, no one is perfect. In this world, how can there be a perfect person? Other than being a little arrogant and having a bad temper, Old Master has few other faults!”
That was not untrue!
No one’s perfect! There is no perfect person in this world. Gu Jinglian was not a god, he was only human. A mortal. Even a god is not perfect, let alone a human.
However, up to this point, everyone could see the changes that Gu Jinglian had made.
