“Uh huh, I really do like it.” It was rare for Gu Jinglian to cast his ego aside and admit something like this. “I like that you knitted it. I’ll wear it all the time. I’ll wear it to sleep at night. No matter how hot it is in summer, I won’t take it off…”
“Pfft…”
Finally, Chu He could not hold it in anymore. She burst out laughing and gave him a quick peck on the lips. “Alright! I was just teasing you!”
Gu Jinglian widened his eyes in horror and raised his fingertips to cover his lips. There seemed to be still some residual warmth from her quick kiss. He looked down at Chu He again and saw that she was no longer in pain. She was smiling at him. The realization came that she was just putting on an act!
“You…” Gu Jinglian was a little unhappy. “Are you playing tricks on me?”
“Why, can’t I?” Seeing his angry expression, Chu He deliberately provoked him, “Bite me then!”
When Gu Jinglian heard this, he really lowered his head in anger and bit her lips.
However, the bite did not feel heavy. Instead, it felt like he was acting coquettishly!
Just then, he was really scared out of his wits thinking that something had really happened to her. His face had turned pale from fright!
“You are not to play such jokes again in the future.”
He would be worried, really worried!
When Chu He heard that, her heart oozed with sweetness. However, she said stubbornly, “I know! But, can you stop saying things that you don’t mean in the future? If you like something, just say it. What’s there to deny?”
Gu Jinglian responded with a “hmm”, but his face was strangely red.
Chu He pinched his handsome face. “Did you hear that? You’re not allowed to say things that you don’t mean.”
“Got it!” He grunted in annoyance and agreed!
“Let me ask you again. Do you like this scarf?”
“I like it!”
“Well…” Chu He probed, “Will you wear it all the time?”
“Of course! Like I said, I won’t take it off even in summer.”
Chu He was stunned. “Really? You won’t take it off even in summer?! If you go as far as to say it, then you have to do it! I’ve never seen anyone wearing a scarf through summer and refusing to take it off. It would be such an eye opener for me!”
Gu Jinglian was infuriated. He had even said this to placate her earlier on. However, given his personality, how could he go back on his words?
So be it. At most, he’d get a heat stroke.
Chu He smiled and couldn’t bear to tease him anymore. “Alright already, I’m just joking with you!”
She started to get onto her feet as she spoke, but halfway up, she froze. She frowned and took one step with great difficulty, placing her hand on the wall.
Gu Jinglian thought that she was playing tricks again and asked sullenly, “What’s wrong?”
Chu He laughed obsequiously. “My legs are numb from squatting for too long!”
“How troublesome!” Gu Jinglian mumbled, walked over, scooped her up in his arms and carried her back to the room.
Behind him, Butler Fu was hiding in a corner and secretly watching. Earlier on, when he was passing by, he heard Chu He’s pained voice and thought that something had happened. When he got closer, he realized that they were flirting, so he hid and watched.
He sighed inwardly. Love really changes a person!
His old master had indeed changed a lot for Chu He! At least, in the past, his old master would not chat and laugh with such a woman.
Seeing how awkward he was and how anxious he would get over Chu He, it was obvious the man genuinely cared for her.
Butler Fu was extremely gratified to see this!
