4684 Never Too Late to Love (91)

Dont get out of bed and walk around. Just eat on the bed.

Bai Sheng was stunned and felt even more embarra.s.sed. She felt that there was a hint of playfulness in his tone, as if he had seen through her predicament.

Could it be that this man knew that her legs were sore and swollen, so he didnt let her get out of bed?!

Whats the matter? Gu Chengze sat on the side of the bed and looked at her. Why arent you eating? Arent you hungry?

Feeling somewhat confused, Bai Sheng replied, You should eat something too!

No hurry. Ill eat when youre done. There seemed to be some hidden meaning in his words.

But Bai Sheng did not get it, obviously. In front of this big bad wolf, Bai Sheng was like an ignorant little white rabbit. She silently grabbed her chopsticks, grabbed the bread, dipped it in some jam, and took a bite. The soft bread coupled with the sweet jam was extremely delicious.

Bai Sheng was so happy that she felt like she was melting! His culinary skills were really good. He made perfect toasts.

Is it good?

Uh huh.

As Bai Sheng ate, she could feel his gaze on her the entire time. She shrunk her shoulders awkwardly.

This morning

She spoke hesitantly, not knowing if she should ask.

Eh? Whats wrong?

My team leader called this morning. Did you answer the call?

Uh huh.

What did you say to her?

Whats the matter?

Gu Chengze said, I cant remember.

She seemed angry.

Gu Chengze furrowed his brows before replying, I said that you were sick and needed to take a week off. She said that the company doesnt provide for such a long sick leave.

And you got mad at her?

Mad?

Gu Chengze rubbed his chin and said truthfully, I didnt lose my temper, did I? Why? Did she scold you?

Bai Sheng silently raised her phone and showed him the WeChat message sent by the team leader.

Gu Chengze took the phone and glanced at it. He saw what the team leader sent: Bai Sheng, did you do this on purpose?! Getting an outsider to apply for leave on your behalf instead of doing it yourself! The leave your husband has applied for you does not count. Today, it will be treated as absence without leave! Please come to work on time tomorrow. Otherwise, it will simply be treated as absence without leave again.

Absence without leave?

Gu Chengze smiled. Sure, its best if they just fire you.

Hey!

Bai Sheng looked at him reproachfully and said, Its not easy to find a job now, yet you wish for me to be fired.

Gu Chengze put his arm around her shoulder and said confidently, If youre fired, wont I have a reason to support you?

Bai Shengs face turned red and she said reluctantly, I dont want you to take care of me! Girls should be independent and not rely on men to take care of them.

Have you been reading too many chicken soup essays in WeChat circle?

Eh?

Such as, men are unreliable. A woman has her youth only for a short time and should use it to forge a path for herself. You cant hold a mans heart with your youth. When you grow old, you become worthless. In the end, women who rely on men for a living will be eliminated by society

Bai Sheng was stumped. How did he know?

She had indeed read this kind of chicken soup essays.

Gu Chengze raised his eyebrows in displeasure. Why? Do you think Im the kind of sc.u.mbag depicted in the chicken soup essays?

No.

Or, are you lacking a sense of security altogether.

A sense of security

Bai Sheng nodded hesitantly.

She really didnt have a sense of security.

She had always felt that she could only rely on herself.

If she relied on a man, it would be h.e.l.l if he abandoned her one day.
