Chapter 3501: A New Addition (117)

“Baby Chu has never had a father, so he’d always been ostracized by children his age. Naturally, he’d feel insecure.”

Meng Qingxue paused and replied, “But for children, a mere marriage certificate would not give them a sense of security! A harmonious family is the most important thing!”

Chu He said calmly, “It’s a pity that I don’t have any feelings for Gu Jinglian and it’s pretty much the same the other way round.”

“So, are you and Master Gu going to continue putting on this show?”

Meng Qingxue could not help laughing aloud. “When the child grows up, you’ll not be able to hide this anymore!”

Chu He retorted, “What can I do about it? Make it real?”

“Chu He, there’s something I’ve been wanting to ask you.” Meng Qingxue suddenly broached the subject, “How did you end up with Baby Chu back then?”

“…”

“Something like that takes two hands to clap. With your personality and skills, it wouldn’t have been easy for him to do this by force! Don’t you have any feelings for the man at all?”

Chu He frowned, her expression complicated. She absentmindedly sucked on the straw, her teeth squeezing the straw out of shape. Her mind was a mess. She did not have a deep impression of the things that had happened before she lost her memory. She was also very curious as to why something like that had happened between her and Gu Jinglian.

Was she unable to control her own feelings or was she forced? If it was really forced, with her unyielding character, Gu Jinglian might not have succeeded.

However, if she had been a willing party…

How could she fall for a heartless man like Gu Jinglian?

Although she did remember some things from before, they were like ordinary memories, and she could not quite figure out how she had felt towards Gu Jinglian back then.

“Chu He, I think you might have had feelings for Master Gu back then. Maybe that was why you had Baby Chu?”

Chu He didn’t comment further, as though she wished to avoid this topic. She smiled at Meng Qingxue and said, “Let’s eat. I’m starving.”

With that, she started cutting the steak. Seeing that Chu He was deliberately avoiding the topic, Meng Qingxue knew that she must be feeling confused. Hence she did not pursue the matter.

…

Chu He returned home and saw Butler Fu in the living room.

The butler immediately came up to her and said excitedly, “It’ll be Baby Chu’s birthday in a few days! Chu He, do you have any thoughts? Baby Chu said that he would like to invite all the children in his class to celebrate his birthday at the Gu residence! Old Master doesn’t like noise, so he didn’t allow it. Now, the both of them are in a cold war! Do you want to talk them round?”

Chu He turned to look at Butler Fu with a complicated expression. Suddenly, she probed, “Butler Fu…”

“Huh?”

She opened her mouth but hesitated. In reality, she wanted to ask him how she used to treat Gu Jinglian. Did she like him? Or did she hate him?

If she hated him, then how did all that happen… with Gu Jinglian?

But if she liked him, why had she no memory of those feelings?

Chu He was also confused by the current situation. She did not know how to face Gu Jinglian, nor did she know what to do about Baby Chu’s dream to have a happy family.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to. However, she was really indifferent when it came to matters of the heart. It was as if she had experienced too many massacres. Matters of life and death, and the cruelty of war had made her a rather detached person..
