  How bold was this come-back?

  Very well.

  Gu Jinglian suddenly sneered, making his handsome features look sinister under the night light. Then he said, “Chu He, let’s get married.”


  …


  His words were spoken flatly. Rather than a discussion, it was more appropriate to call it an order.

  “…” Chu He doubted she heard him right. Was she hearing things? She frowned and asked, “What?”


  What did he mean?

  Gu Jinglian said, “You heard me clearly, so don’t make me repeat myself.”


  Chu He was stunned.

  Gu Jinglian had been mulling over this matter. For the past few days, Baby Chu had been very anxious about his relationship with Chu He.

  He did not know what sort of ruckus the boy would cause next if he continued to delay marrying the woman.

  Furthermore, he did not have much patience to keep delaying things. Since Baby Chu had such hopes, he might as well fulfill the kid’s wish.

  Previously, he didn’t think of marriage because he was certain that he would never fall in love with any woman! Women are nothing but trouble. The grudges and disputes between the Gu family and the Mu family were caused by a woman. Hence, in his eyes, women were like poppies. One could touch them but one should not get involved with them.

  However, Baby Chu had been looking forward to his marriage with Chu He. Perhaps this was just a child’s desire for a sense of security! He was worried that without the restrictions of marriage, his parents would one day each have their own lover, and he would feel very helpless.

  Gu Jinglian was certain that this would not happen. However, the child did not think so. Then, as a father, wouldn’t it put him in a bad light if he could not make his son feel safe? That was why he asked Chu He.

  Chu He, on the other hand, found it unbelievable. “I remember that you expressed your opinion in the past. You don’t plan to get married ever! Why? Are you going back on your word now?”


  Gu Jinglian said expressionlessly, “Since both of us feel that marriage is just a formality, then wouldn’t you, being Baby Chu’s biological mother, be the most suitable marriage partner.”


  When Chu He heard this, she was speechless. She said, “So you think that marriage is such a stroll in the park.”


  Gu Jinglian took another step closer to her and said in a deep voice, “Baby Chu is forcing me to woo you and win you within a month.”


  Once he lowered his voice slightly, it was extremely mellow and magnetic. For a moment, it was somewhat bewitching.

  Chu He came back to her senses and took half a step back. When she was finally able to react to this, she suddenly understood.

  “He actually said that?”


  “Why else do you think he went through all that trouble to lock us in here?”


  No wonder Baby Chu had been acting so strangely tonight!

  First he was trying to please her, then he threatened to sleep alone, and now he had locked her and Gu Jinglian in the same room. So it turned out that he had such intentions!

  Chu He was amused and exasperated!

  What was this? Matchmaking? He was so young. Where did he get all these ideas? She could not help but wonder if Butler Fu had been helping him scheme.

  As Chu He cursed silently, Gu Jinglian spoke, “So when shall we register?”


  His tone was unusually calm, as if the matter of registering a marriage was a trivial matter to him.
