4617 Never Too Late to Love (24)
Gu Chengze’s words were very gentle, but the meaning he wanted to convey was far from that.
Divorce was not a concept that the Gu family embraced. Especially after meeting his parents, there would be no turning back.
Was this considered a family rule? How overbearing.
People hold such open views towards marriage nowadays. They can fall in love and marry freely. Of course, they also have the freedom to divorce.
It was not that she thought divorce was normal, but she could not be sure how far her marriage with Gu Chengze would go. Who could guarantee that nothing would go wrong for the rest of their lives?
Seeing that she was silent, Gu Chengze smiled. “Don’t be nervous and don’t misunderstand. I didn’t bring you to meet my parents because once they know that we’re married, they won’t be able to accept a divorce. I just don’t wish to break their hearts if you should dump me one day…”
“…” Why did such an outstanding and dazzling man act so innocent and pitiful in front of her?
“What do you mean if I should dump you? You’re an outstanding man…” On the contrary, she felt that she was not good enough for him.
Gu Chengze smiled and gently patted her head. “I was only joking.” He walked up to Bai Sheng and crouched down beside her. He held her face gently and said, “Now, let’s try being married first. I will work hard to do my job as a husband. Once we get along well and are mentally prepared, I’ll take you to meet my parents, okay?”
Bai Sheng smiled and nodded.
Gu Chengze got up and headed towards the door while Bai Sheng walked with him to the entrance and silently passed his suit jacket to him.
As he picked up his tie, she looked at it and said quietly, “Shall I… help you put on your tie?”
“Eh?” Gu Chengze held the tie out to her and asked, “Do you know how to do it?”
“Yes. I used to… work in a clothing store and sort of learned it then.” Bai Sheng felt that putting on a tie for one’s own husband is a loving act. She remembered that in the past, in psychology class, her mentor had also said that this kind of behavior could increase the chemistry between a couple.
It was Bai Sheng’s first time knotting a tie for a man and that only made her all the more nervous, causing her hands to tremble.
The man was tickled when he noticed her slightly trembling hands and wanted to laugh, but he held back. He pretended to look at her casually, and could see that she was nervous and making a serious effort. However, perhaps because of her nervousness, she actually made a mistake the first time.
“Don’t be nervous.” Gu Chengze suddenly reached for her hand, and helped her along. “Just like this. Understand?”
Bai Sheng laughed in frustration, “I used to know how to do it, but perhaps it’s been too long and I’ve forgotten.”
“It’s alright. Soon you’ll be proficient at it if you do it for me every morning.”
Bai Sheng blushed even more when he said this, looking like she had put on rouge.
Gu Chengze was growing increasingly fond of her, and couldn’t help but bend down and peck her on the cheek.
“I’m going to work.”
“Uh huh…” Bai Sheng lowered her head and said timidly, “Be careful on the road.”
“Uh huh.” The man gave her a smile and left.
For some reason, his devilish smile caused Bai Shengsheng to be slightly dazed.
She stood at the door in a daze for a long time until she saw Gu Chengze enter the elevator. Only then did she snap out of the daze and shut the door.
Still a little stunned, she leaned back against the door and thought, this kind of life only existed in her imagination. She had never dared to imagine that this would become reality.
She… had a home now! How wonderful!
