The day of the gathering came and Chu He had completely forgotten about it. It was only when they called and asked where she was that she remembered.
She packed her yarn and knitting needles and prepared to leave.
Gu Jinglian happened to be at home, and was a little surprised to see that she was preparing to go out when just a moment ago she was quietly knitting a hat.
âWhere are you going?â
âOh, Iâm going to a friendâs gathering.â
âA friendâs gathering?â
Gu Jinglian looked at her suspiciously. âYou have friends?â
âOf course, I have friends.â
âOh.â Gu Jinglian acted as if he did not care and asked, âMale friends or female friends?â
âTheyâre all women.â Chu He asked, âWhy? Are you checking up on me?â
âI was just asking.â Gu Jinglian grunted awkwardly. âYouâre not taking me along?â
âWeâre all females, why should I bring you along?â Chu He chuckled. âAre you worried about me?â
Gu Jinglianâs lips curled upwards. âHa, who would have thought that the once high and mighty Interpol anti-vice inspector and heroine would actually attend a womenâs party like an ordinary woman?â
Chu He said sullenly, âWhat do you mean? Canât I participate? Canât I behave like a woman?â
âSure you can.â Gu Jinglian raised his eyebrows. âIâll send you there.â
âThereâs no need for that, Iâll get Butler Fu to arrange for a car.â
When Gu Jinglian heard this, he was actually a little angry that she should refuse when he was kind enough to offer. âIâm just worried, since youâre pregnant, that no one will take care of you. Stupid woman, how can you not appreciate my kindness?â
Chu He furrowed her brow. Even though she was used to his awkward personality, she still felt uncomfortable.
âSince you want to send me there so badly, stop being so awkward. If you donât want to send me there, then stay at home and donât follow me!â
After saying that, Chu He strode away.
When Gu Jinglian heard this, he was momentarily embarrassed. However, being worried that she was pregnant and was going to a gathering alone, he shamelessly followed her!
Chu He saw him following behind from the corner of her eye and chuckled to herself.
She had to admit that this man was like a child in some aspects. He was too childish. However, seeing that he was shamelessly tagging behind her, she turned around to strike a deal with him. âYou can come with me, but you canât enter the private room.â
âWhy?â
âThere are so many women. Itâs not good for a man like you to go, right?â
âWhatâs wrong with that?â
âIn short, if you donât agree to it, donât send me there!â
The man was defeated. âAlright then. Iâll wait in another room.â
âAlright.â
Gu Jinglian drove her to the self-service cafe. This self-service cafe was relatively common in the city and the gathering was organized in an AA system. Chu He had already transferred the money to them through WeChat.
When they arrived at the cafe, Gu Jinglian went to park the car. Chu He went in first and provided the room number, but was stopped by the service staff.
âYouâll need to make payment first.â
âHuh? Did my friends not pay on my behalf?â
âNo. There are ten people in the booth, and they only paid four hundred dollars. Payment hasnât been made for you. Itâs 40 per person, thank you.â
Chu He felt a little awkward. How could that be? Why didnât they pay her share?
Didnât they say that they had made reservations for the number of people turning up?
She didnât have any money with her. âCan I pay by WeChat?â
âYes, you can. Please come with me.â
