Chapter 3419: A New Addition (35)

Baby Chu cried even harder.
Chu He hugged him and promised, “No matter what, I promise you that in this life, Baby Chu will be my only precious child. I will not find you a stepfather!”
Baby Chu rubbed his eyes and looked at her suspiciously. “Really?”
“Yes! Really! It can’t be more real!”
Baby Chu embraced her in relief, thus ending this episode.
…
Butler Fu sent breakfast into the room.
Gu Jinglian sat at his study desk, but surprisingly, he was not playing with his pen and ink. Instead, he was resting his head on one hand with his eyes closed. No one knew what he was thinking.
Butler Fu brought the breakfast to the table and tried to sound nonchalant. “Baby Chu cried for a long time before he was finally appeased.”
Gu Jinglian opened his eyes and asked in surprise, “Why is he crying again?”
This fellow seemed to cry as though it was a common occurrence.
Butler Fu hinted, “It’s all because of Old Master.”
“Because of me?”
“Baby Chu is worried that Old Master will find him a stepmother.”
Gu Jinglian’s lips twitched and he said with a frown, “Whoever said that I was going to find him a stepmother?”
Butler Fu smiled. “He’s still young isn’t he? It’s inevitable that his imagination runs wild. The little fellow is very sensitive and imaginative.”
“Tell him to relax. That’s not going to happen.” Gu Jinglian casually picked up his cup and took a sip of the black tea.
Butler Fu probed, “Old Master… not that I’m nagging, but it’s still the same old matter. Right now, Old Master’s marriage is the most worrying thing for the Gu family.”
“I’ve said it before, I’m not getting married.” Gu Jinglian put down his cup and said frostily, “You don’t have to worry about this.”
Butler Fu sighed. “How can I not worry? Old Master, is there… a girl that you fancy?”
“No,” Gu Jinglian replied without thinking.
“Then… what about Chu He?” Butler Fu smiled. “What do you think of her?”
“Nothing.” Gu Jinglian was becoming impatient. “Did you come here to talk to me about this nonsense?”
Butler Fu immediately lowered his head and shook it. “No, no! It’s just a casual mention.”
“Get out.”
…
Butler Fu was dismissed.
However, not long after, Gu Jinglian heard footsteps outside the door. Shortly after, the door was carefully pushed open and a small head peeked in.
Gu Jinglian looked up. From the corner of his eye, he saw a certain little boy sneaking into the room on tiptoe.
“What are you up to?” When the man spoke, Baby Chu realized that he had been spotted. He immediately stood up straight and smiled brightly.
“Daddy!”
After the parent-teacher meeting yesterday, it hadn’t taken the lad long to get used to the new form of address.
Gu Jinglian was pleased to hear this. However, he immediately knew that the boy was up to no good, given his obsequious smile.
“I have something to report.” Baby Chu immediately walked to his side and slumped over the man’s lap. He asked the man curiously, “Daddy, do you think Mommy is pretty?”
What kind of question was that?
Gu Jinglian replied expressionlessly, “Average.”
“Then, do you think Mommy is good?”
“Average.”
Indignant, Baby Chu asked again, “Then, how did Baby Chu come about?”
Gu Jinglian choked. This fellow seemed to have great ability to choke others.
That was a difficult question to answer. Wasn’t it too early to educate the young child on such a topic..
