Chapter 3449: A New Addition (65)

Gu Jinglian sat on the sofa expressionlessly, appearing calm and composed.
When Chu He saw that Xiaobao wasn’t in the room, she couldn’t help feeling odd. The kid was in the room just a moment ago. She had gone in to take a shower and instructed him to make the bed. Obviously, when Baby Chu announced that he wanted to be independent, Chu He did not take it to heart at all. The boy was so afraid of the dark. Surely, even if he wanted to sleep alone, he would need someone by his side to coax him to sleep before being left alone? Otherwise he wouldn’t even be able to sleep at all.
But where was he now?
Why was he gone?
She asked, “Where’s Baby Chu?”
Gu Jinglian looked towards the door. Chu He followed his gaze towards the door. She immediately walked over and reached out to grab the door handle, only to realize that it was locked.
It was locked from the outside?!
She was taken aback. She turned around and gave Gu Jinglian a look of surprise, but the man said calmly, “Your son did this.”
When Chu He heard this, she immediately realized what was going on. At the same time, she said indignantly, “He’s your son too!”
Gu Jinglian raised his brows and did not say anything else.
Chu He banged on the door and shouted, “Baby Chu!?”
There was only silence outside the door. Baby Chu was long gone.
Chu He was a little angry. What was this little fellow trying to do?
“Why did he do that? Why did he lock us in the same room?”
Gu Jinglian lifted his eyes to look at her again. For a moment, the expression in his deep almond-shaped eyes were unfathomable. She could not tell what was brewing in his mind.
He suddenly started to seriously consider Baby Chu’s suggestion.
Hence, at this point, he was thinking about how he should broach this matter. “Chu He, you…”
The next second, her phone rang! Chu He looked towards the bed where her phone was vibrating and ringing. She wiped her hair as she walked to the bed and picked up her phone.
The moment she picked up the call, the captain’s clear voice came from the other end, “Chu He, where are you? Come out for supper, we made plans!”
“What?” Chu He was confused. “Supper?”
“Eh? Didn’t I tell you after the morning meeting? Tonight, the members of the anti-vice team are having supper together. The treat is on me. It’s a welcome dinner for you!”
“I see…” Chu He was not interested in supper. If it was not an urgent task, she would not have bothered to go out in the middle of the night. Besides, she was now locked up in Baby Chu’s room, so it was not as though she could get out easily.
She said, “I can’t go out tonight! I do thank you for the kind intentions of Captain and the team seniors! But I can’t make it for supper!”
The captain laughed and said, “This is a welcome banquet, how can we not have it? In our team, this is a rule, and it’s not especially grand. Hehe! We’ll just have a barbecue and some beer!”
“Well…”
Seeing that it was impossible to get out of it, Chu He suggested, “How about tomorrow? I really forgot about this event today! I’m sorry.”
Gu Jinglian saw the rare gentleness in her tone. Speaking on the phone now, she was not bearing her usually stone face. He found himself getting up from the sofa and slowly walking towards her.
Chu He held on to her phone, clearly unaware of the approaching figure behind her.
“Okay, no rush! Let’s set it for tomorrow then!” the captain said.
Chu He smiled, “Captain, you should rest early too!”
