Chu He smiled, âCaptain, you should rest early too!â
âWait! Chu Heâ¦â The other party suddenly called out to her nervously.
Chu He raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, âWhatâs the matter? Is there anything else?â
The captain smiled and said, âI just wanted to ask you how old you are. Usually, girls your age should be already dating!â
Gu Jinglian frowned unhappily when he heard the manâs voice.
Chu He said disapprovingly, âI donât have a partner.â
âYou donât have a boyfriend?!â The man on the other end of the line seemed excited for a moment. Just from his tone, it was as if he had heard the greatest news. âYouâre single?â
âHmm⦠I guess you can say that. Why are you suddenly asking this?â
âOh⦠Oh, itâs nothing! As the captain, I have to be concerned about my subordinatesâ lifelong affairs!â
âOh, I see.â Chu He didnât hold back. In this aspect, she was especially ignorant. The man behind her looked even more sinister now.
Was this woman an idiot?
That man was obviously interested in her, to be asking a question like this. Otherwise, why would someone ask such a question normal circumstances? Judging from his tone, he was rather nervous. When he found out that she was single, he was inexplicably excited.
Was she really unable to tell or was she pretending to be stupid?
After Chu He hung up, she turned around and bumped into Gu Jinglianâs chest. She frowned in pain as her forehead rammed against his collarbone. It was rather painful! She took a few steps back while Gu Jinglian stood in front of her expressionlessly, not moving at all. His eyes were fixed on her, as if he was studying her.
She asked warily, âWhy are you staring at me?â
âWho was that man who called?â he finally spoke.
Chu He was stunned! What was wrong with this man today? Was he quite alright? Why would he bother with someone other than himself and Baby Chu, for no apparent reason? Gu Jinglian had always been indifferent. He never cared about anyone and treated others as air.
âWhat does it have to do with you?â Chu He didnât sound very friendly, âWhy are you suddenly concerned about this?â
âWhy, canât I ask?â
âNobody of any importance.â Chu He saw Gu Jinglianâs expression turning icy, so she added, âCaptain of the anti-vice team, my direct superior.â
âAnti-vice team?âGu Jinglian felt that this was extremely ironic. âOf all the jobs in the world, why did you join the anti-vice team?â
âIs there a problem?â Chu He did not feel it was an issue, even though the man standing in front of her right now was Baby Chuâs biological father, and also a man that everyone in the anti-vice group hated to the core.
She joined the anti-vice team because of her identity and background. She was definitely qualified for this job. She preferred to work with men. She would not be able to handle the politicking and scheming between the female colleagues in the workplace. It would overwhelm her.
In comparison, the work of the police may seem crude, but it was better to deal with these tough men than to work with the petty female white-collar workers.
Moreover, she was originally from Interpol.
This was her line of work.
Gu Jinglian suddenly took a step closer to her. âThen let me ask you. You told him just now that youâre single. How do you explain this?â
ââ¦â
Chu He did not expect him to ask such a question.. âWhatâs wrong? Am I not single?â
