  Chu He asked again, “Who made these paper cuttings then?”


  Gu Jinglian said decisively, “Butler Fu.”


  Butler Fu and Baby Chu said in unison, “Old Master made them.”


  “Daddy made them.”


  Gu Jinglian was speechless.

  Chu He burst into laughter, “Hahaha! You can’t even coordinate a lie?”


  “…”


  Gu Jinglian suddenly stood up and left the room with a gloomy expression.

  After he left, Baby Chu and Linxi looked at each other and burst into laughter!

  Butler Fu was also speechless. “Old Master just doesn’t mean what he says. His words are sharp, but his heart is soft. He clearly did it with his heart, but he refuses to admit it.”


  Linxi also said, “Isn’t there a saying that goes, if you want to save face, you have to suffer. I think Daddy just wants to save face!”


  Baby Chu nodded fervently. “That’s right, that’s right! Daddy is so awkward!”


  Chu He looked disdainful, but in fact, she secretly found it rather heartwarming. In reality, how could she not know that these paper cuttings were all made by Gu Jinglian? It was simply asking the obvious. She knew that apart from Gu Jinglian, no one else could make such beautiful paper cuttings.

  Chu He walked over to the table and picked up the half-done paper cutting that Gu Jinglian had made. She studied it carefully. The edges were neatly trimmed and the texture was simple. It was obvious that Gu Jinglian had meticulously cut it bit by bit with a craft knife.

  A subtle smile escaped from Chu He’s lips as her fingers gently caressed the uncompleted paper cutting…


  At night, Gu Jinglian sat in the study room. As usual, he took a shower and was reading before bedtime.

  After a shower, Chu He walked to the study. When she saw Gu Jinglian sitting at the desk, she smiled and walked over.

  Gu Jinglian heard footsteps but did not look up. He did not move and continued reading attentively. Except that although he appeared to be reading, not a single word was registering. He did not flip a page for a long time.

  Chu He stood behind him and followed his gaze to the book. He did not turn the page even after she had finished reading it.

  “You’re such a meticulous reader.” Chu He paused before continuing, “Are you reading every word?”


  Gu Jinglian finally raised his head and glanced at her, but his expression was unfathomable.

  Chu He snatched the book from him and flipped the page. Just as she was about to turn around and sit down on the sofa to read it seriously, Gu Jinglian suddenly reached out, circled his arms around her waist and drew her towards himself.

  The woman was caught off guard and fell into his arms. She looked up and met his deep eyes. Gu Jinglian lowered his head and stared at her face. He sized her up inch by inch as his slender fingers gently caressed her cheeks.

  It was smooth and flawless, and felt surprisingly good.

  The man suddenly bent over and gently kissed her lips, having felt compelled to do this for no reason.

  However, unlike other men, he did not do this in a rush. Rather, he gave her light pecks on her lips, he didn’t seem hurried to go any further……

  Chu He subconsciously resisted by pushing against his shoulder. His kiss was so sudden that she was not prepared for it!

  However, no matter how strong she was, Gu Jinglian’s figure remained firm. No matter how hard she pushed, he was steadfast as a rock.

  “What are you doing?!” Her face was slightly flushed and her eyes were filled with anger.

  Gu Jinglian snorted…… “Can’t tell?”
