Chapter 3748: A New Addition (364)
To Gu Jinglian, Chu He was considered light.
He didn’t go through tough training for nothing. In his youth, he insisted on running with weights to train his physical strength. His hands and feet would be loaded with ten kilograms of iron. This was how he trained.
“Isn’t it heavy?”
Gu Jinglian answered with the question, “What do you think?”
“Huh?” Chu He blushed and said, “I don’t think I’m heavy! I don’t eat much and I’m not fat.”
“It’s heavy.” The man continued, “I’m carrying the entire world in my arms. Do you think that’s heavy?”
“...” Chu He widened her eyes in great surprise.
While it was normal for couples to say sweet nothings to each other, it was highly unusual for a man like Gu Jinglian to say such affectionate things!
In her opinion, he was a rather mature man. Although he was very young, he came across as a man who had many vicissitudes in life. When he spoke, his tone was always commanding, rigid and very serious.
Gu Jinglian rarely smiled and was a man of few words. He would not smile when he was making a joke, even his jokes were cold and lame. Now that he had blurted out these uncharacteristically sweet words, Chu He found it hard to believe that they came from him!
“What’s the matter?” Gu Jinglian saw her shocked expression and said disapprovingly, “What kind of expression is that!?”
“Can’t you tell!” Chu He sighed, “You are quite good at sweet-talking!”
“I have more of those, if you want to hear them.” After a pause, he added, “On the condition that I’m in a good mood!”
“...”
That’s no different from not saying anything?!
Chu He retorted, “Are you ever in a good mood?”
He always had a serious look on his face, as if the whole world owed him money! It never felt like he was ever in a good mood.
“Of course!” Gu Jinglian snorted. “For example, I’m in a good mood today.”
This was the truth.
Since he woke up in the morning, he felt light and cheery. Even when people from the Meng family came to cause trouble, it did not dampen his mood at all.
Chu He was a little shaken and shuddered lightly. Her understanding of Gu Jinglian was breaking new grounds today. It was most unexpected that this man could make lame jokes, say sweet nothings, and even say things that were quite touching.
She had no idea if Butler Fu had taught him these things or if he had thought of them himself! Except that, no matter what, even if these words came from a script somewhere, it was precious enough that he would put his ego aside and say them! Although she cared little for romance, she was nevertheless greatly surprised to hear him say such romantic things on their special day!
Carrying the entire world in my arms...
Chu He kept replaying his words in her mind. She wanted to giggle, but she didn’t dare to do so with him around, lest he thought that she was laughing at him.
Hence, she covered her mouth subtly using the apple that she was holding in her hand. The corners of her lips helplessly turned upwards!
The apple was given to her by Aunty Fu before she left the house. Aunty Fu said that holding an apple in her hand would guarantee the couple a lifetime of peace. This was both a symbol and a tradition.
Chu He didn’t know what it meant either. In short, when Aunty Fu asked her to take it with her, she took it. Aunty Fu even repeatedly reminded her that no matter how hungry or thirsty she was, she must not eat the apple. Not even a bite.
