Chapter 4616 Never Too Late to Love (23)

She was satisfied as long as there was tomato egg soup?

What a little glutton.

Gu Chengze said to her, “Tonight, I’ll make tomato egg soup, stir-fried cabbage, braised chicken wings, and sweet and sour pork ribs, okay?”

“Okay, alright.” Bai Sheng silently took a bite of the poached egg, feeling so blissful that her happiness was on the verge of overflowing.

!!
Was this the feeling of home? It had been a long time since she felt warmth like this. She remembered that the happiest time of her life was probably when she was in school. At that time, she went to a boarding school and was in school every week. She did not like to go home because when she did, her aunt would scold her.

When she was in university, she rarely asked her aunt for money. Other than her tuition fees, she would earn her own living expenses. In fact, she would pay a portion of the tuition fees herself.

From then on, she understood that she was different from others. Her other classmates had parents they could rely on, but she did not. She was not carefree and pampered. From that moment on, she forced herself to be independent as soon as possible. She was afraid that a day should come when she would be kicked out of the house.

When she was little, whenever she made her aunt unhappy, her aunt would always say, “This is my house. If you have any backbone, get out!”

These words were especially hurtful. The hurt had never left her and it wouldn’t go away. Therefore, she had never felt a sense of security since she was young.

Gu Chengze saw that she seemed to have a lot on her mind. Initially, her expression was gentle, but for some reason, she started to look as though she had something on her mind.

Then she snapped back to her senses and smiled. “Nothing… I was just distracted.”

She did not dare to tell him what she was thinking. People always said that girls had to be reserved and not show too much.

Gu Chengze said, “I have to go to work later. You should rest at home, okay?”

“Uh huh.”

“Here’s our address. I’ll leave it at the side table. You can call me if you need anything.” Then a thought struck him and he asked, “What do we do about your aunt?”

“Eh?” Bai Sheng was dazed for a moment before she replied, “She’s kicked me out of the house.”

Gu Chengze nodded. “That was never your home to begin with anyway. How could you be kicked out?”

Bai Sheng was stunned.

“Since last night, this is now your home. Don’t make things too awkward with your aunt. Of course, if she’s sensible enough, she won’t make things too awkward as well.”

“Ahhh…” Bai Sheng suddenly had a thought and asked cautiously, “Should I… pay a proper visit to your parents?”

She finally mustered her courage to say this. Previously, she didn’t dare ask. What if he didn’t have parents or came from a divorced family? Or if something else happened… wouldn’t it be too presumptuous of her?

However, he did not take the initiative to mention it. After all, Gu Chengze had also visited her aunt and uncle. It was only etiquette to visit the in-laws. Etiquette was important.

When Gu Chengze heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly. “I’m just worried that you might not be mentally prepared.”

“Mentally prepared?”

“You really won’t regret marrying me?” Gu Chengze continued, “Once you’ve met my parents, you may no longer have the chance to withdraw from this marriage.”

Divorce was not a concept that the Gu family embraced. They were traditional people. Gu Chengze had also kept this matter a secret from them.
