Did it mean any uncle who would accompany him to a parent-teacher meeting would be the âbestâ?
Baby Chu looked him up and down, and noticed that he was wearing a casual shirt. He suddenly stood to the side, crossed his arms, and sized him up.
Gu Jinglian met his gaze doubtfully and raised his eyebrows. âWhat?â
âAre you going to wear this today?â
âYeah.â
âWhy arenât you wearing a shirt and suit?â
âToo troublesome.â
Furthermore, the more ordinary and casual he looked for this particular event, the better it was.
Baby Chu was not satisfied, however. âUncle looks more dashing in a suit!â
In Baby Chuâs opinion, Gu Jinglian looked most handsome in a well-pressed suit!
The man clenched his fists. âYouâre pushing your luck.â
âWear a suit! Wear a suit! You look so handsome in a suit!â Baby Chu clung on to his arm and begged.
Gu Jinglianâs patience hit its limit. Just as he was about to flare up, Butler Fuâs words suddenly came to mind. âYoung Master is so pitiful you know, Old Master? In his heart, youâve always been an imposing figure. You canât ruin this heroic image!â
He held back his anger.
Ten minutes later, Chu He had changed her clothes and come downstairs. She saw Butler Fu tidying up Baby Chuâs clothes as the little guy ate breakfast with relish at the dining table.
Butler Fu smiled at her when he saw her coming down.
Chu He felt a little awkward and asked, âWhere is he?â
âOld Master went upstairs to change into his suit.â
âA suit?â
Chu He was puzzled. âItâs just a parent-teacher meeting. Why would he need to dress so formally?â
Baby Chu said confidently, âBecause Uncle is the most handsome in a suit!â
ââ¦â She was speechless.
Soon, Gu Jinglian had changed into his suit and come downstairs. When he saw Chu He, he ignored her and walked past her into the dining room.
Baby Chu was stunned the moment he saw the man in the suit.
The boyâs eyes widened and he immediately jumped down from his seat. He circled around Gu JInglian and exclaimed in amazement, âOh my god! Uncle is so handsome! I knew it! Uncle looks most dashing in a suit!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gu Jinglian glanced at the boy silently, but the little fellow suddenly pulled him to Chu Heâs side, forcing them to stand next to each other.
Baby Chu rubbed his chin and squinted his eyes as he sized them up, as if he was studying them.
Chu Heâs body stiffened.
Gu Jinglian asked the boy frostily, âWhat are you looking at?â
âWhy do I feel like something is missing?â Baby Chu urged them, âStand closer.â
Gu Jinglian was dumbstruck.
ââ¦Baby Chu, stop fooling around!â Chu He chided him.
âAiya! Other kidsâ parents are very loving! Why are you standing together looking like enemies?â
Baby Chu walked forward and pushed Gu Jinglian closer to Chu He. The tall man standing beside her made her feel as if the entire world had become too narrow.
The manâs face had turned ashen.
Why was this parent-teacher meeting so troublesome? They even had to put on an act?
Baby Chu continued, âUncle, smile! Noâ¦â The little fella shook his head and said sternly, âI have to make this change! I canât be calling you uncle anymore!â
He walked up to Gu Jinglian and held the manâs big palm with both hands. He said coquettishly, âDaddy, you should hold Mommyâs hand! Otherwise, people will think that you donât have a good relationship!â
As he spoke, he stuffed Chu Heâs hand into Gu Jinglianâs palm.
Chu He retracted her hand reflexively, her face burning.
