  Chu He silently wondered if the man was still angry. Although she did not know why he was angry. This man had always been unpredictable.

  And for some strange reason, Baby Chu seemed especially enthusiastic. His eyes darted around and he said, “It’s getting late. Daddy, quickly take a shower and sleep early!”


  Chu He reminded him, “Baby Chu, it’s only 6:30.”


  “It’s getting late!”


  Gu Jinglian looked up and glanced at him. He casually threw the bowl and chopsticks on the table and got up to go upstairs.

  Seeing that he had succeeded, Baby Chu turned around and encouraged Chu He, “Mommy, it’s getting late. You should rest early too!”


  Chu He was flabbergasted. She just told the boy it was only 6:30! She couldn’t possibly sleep so early, right? However, Chu He was at her wit’s end. She got onto her feet and headed upstairs.

  Baby Chu immediately followed behind her. When he saw Chu He picking up her blanket and about to enter his room, the boy rushed over and stood before his bedroom door, saying righteously, “You’re not allowed in!”


  “…” Chu He rolled her eyes. “What are you up to?”


  “Mommy, you seem to have forgotten what Baby Chu said?” The boy cleared his throat and said earnestly, “I’ve said that I wish to sleep alone! This is independence. Mommy, please respect Baby Chu.”


  “Res…”


  Chu He almost choked on her own words……

  Now that he was going to kindergarten, this guy actually learned what respect meant?

  “If I don’t sleep in this room, where would I sleep?”


  Baby Chu looked equally amazed as he replied, “Mommy, now that you have a husband, of course you’ll sleep with your own husband! Other kids’ parents sleep together at night!”


  Chu He replied, “…What is your motive for being so enthusiastic that I should sleep with your father?”


  “I don’t care, I don’t care! Anyway, I don’t want Mommy to sleep with me!”


  With that, Baby Chu shut the door with a bang, leaving Chu He standing outside.

  “Baby Chu!!” Chu He kicked the door angrily. “I’m giving you three seconds to open the door. One! Two…”


  Before she could finish the countdown, she heard a loud click. The door was locked from the inside!

  Chu He was flabbergasted.

  This kid was asking for a beating!

  She stood outside the door for a few minutes. No matter how she tried to persuade him, or even coerce him, Baby Chu seemed adamant about keeping the door firmly shut.

  Helplessly, Chu He braced herself and started walking towards Gu Jinglian’s door carrying the blanket in her arms. Seeing that the door was slightly ajar, she looked in through the crack. Suddenly a dark silhouette appeared behind the slit.

  The door was thrown open from the inside.

  Gu Jinglian stood at the doorway in a bathrobe, looking at her coldly.

  Their eyes met.

  It was extremely awkward.

  Chu He straightened up awkwardly. Holding her blanket, she said in embarrassment, “I’ll have to… borrow your sofa again tonight.”


  She did not dare to look at Gu Jinglian’s expression. She thought that the next second, the Demon King would slam the door shut and lock her out.

  Instead, Gu Jinglian walked off expressionlessly, leaving the door ajar.

  Chu He walked in with her blanket and saw the man returning to the sofa. He was fiddling with his hair, which was damp. He had just taken a shower.

  He did not have the habit of using a hairdryer, and would wait for it to dry naturally.

  While doing so, he would usually read.

  Only at this point did Chu He realize that there were many books on the shelf that covered the wall. Generally speaking, it was common for people to use bookshelves as a decorative item.

  On Gu Jinglian’s bookshelf however, there were books from all over the world.
