4642 Never Too Late to Love (49)
Bai Sheng’s face turned red hearing him address her by such affectionate terms. She lowered her head, a little embarrassed to let Gu Chengze see her flushed face.
Gu Chengze, on the other hand, held her chin and lifted it up teasingly. “Wifey, why are you blushing?”
“Are you teasing me?” Bai Sheng was so angry that she laughed instead. She stretched out her tiny fist and punched his shoulder.
Gu Chengze immediately covered his shoulder and put on an act. “Ouch, it hurts, it hurts…”
“Stop pretending!” Bai Sheng was tickled and ran after him trying to hit him.
Gu Chengze ran to the sofa and held out a pillow to defend himself. Bai Sheng also picked up a pillow and threw it at him. Even with a soft pillow in his hand, Gu Chengze could not bear to retaliate. He was beaten by her all the way…
The two of them wound up in a mess…
“Enough, stop fooling around.” Gu Chengze seized the opportunity to catch her when she was taking a breather and hugged her from behind.
Bai Sheng’s breathing was already hurried because she was fooling around with him. Her face was flushed and she was even drenched in cold sweat. Being hugged by him from behind, she felt even more helpless.
“You…”
“Don’t move.” Gu Chengze hugged her tightly. Even if she wanted to move, there was nothing she could do.
“I want to call you Sheng’er, hmm?”
Sheng’er… Bai Sheng was stunned by this intimate address.
Sheng’er was her childhood nickname. Such a nickname brought back memories of long ago.
“I like to call you Sheng’er.” Gu Chengze rested his chin gently on her shoulder. “But you still have to call me Hubby the Great.”
“Why ‘the Great’?”
“This is the only way to show my status!”
“People who like to emphasize their status generally don’t have any.”
“…You believe that to be so?” After considering Bai Sheng’s conclusion, Gu Chengze also realized that this was indeed the case.
Usually, during family banquets, Gu Jinglian and Mu Yazhe would sit together and brag about their status at home. But in fact… Gu Jinglian’s status in the Gu family had been declining day by day, and now, he was only a few ranks higher than him.
It was said that this was not the case when he first got married. At that time, according to Chu He, the man was a rather cold and violent person. It was only after they got married, especially after Qianqian was born, that the man became more and more tamed and gradually his hot temper disappeared. That man from the Mu family was definitely not much better.
The Mu family and the Gu family were the same. The females flourish and males decline. Other than outside of the home, the men had no status when they returned home after work. It was only during family banquets that the two of them would sit together and brag about their statuses. But inevitably, they would both be dragged away by their wives.
For some reason, Gu Chengze had a strong premonition. He felt that he would end up like Gu Jinglian in the future.
Still … As long as this person was Bai Sheng, anything was fine. He was already mentally prepared.
“It’s the weekend the day after tomorrow. Do you have to work tomorrow?”
Bai Sheng shook her head and said, “It’s a rest day. Our company provides two days off. In addition I’ve already submitted the design plans. I don’t have to go to work tomorrow.”
“I hear that the design agencies are very busy.”
“I’m an efficient designer.” Bai Sheng crossed her arms in front of her chest and said, “My dream is to be an outstanding fashion designer! The company that I’m in now always accepts production tasks. It is not challenging at all.”
