4625 Never Too Late to Love (32)
Marriage is pure and sacred. The wedding dress symbolizes holiness and beauty.
Gu Chengze did not take a closer look. Seeing that she seemed to be very secretive, he only took a cursory look and did not study the details.
He walked out of the room and not long after, Bai Sheng was done showering. Since she had been at home the entire day, she took only a quick shower. By the time she walked out of the bathroom after blow-drying her hair, Gu Chengze was standing on the balcony, admiring the night view while having a drink.
Was that coffee? Was he drinking coffee just before bedtime?
!!
At the thought of this, she walked over and asked, âAre you drinking coffee?â
âMilk.â Gu Chengze said, âA cup of coffee in the morning is good for work, and a glass of milk at night is good for sleep.â
It was his habit to have a cup of coffee every morning and a glass of milk every night. It was essential.
When Bai Sheng heard this, she could not help laughing.
âWhatâs the matter?â
âSo you have a Coke with wolfberries?â
The man did not react for a moment. âWhy would I add wolfberries to Coke?â
âFor good health!â
Gu Chengze finally understood what she was trying to say.
Bai Sheng said quietly, âYou are too healthy! Living such a healthy life at such a young age! Among the people I know who are your age, this phase is the beginning of nightlife! At this very moment, Iâm afraid that they are probably drinking large mouthfuls of beer on a street in a bar!â
Gu Chengze was compelled to object. âIâm the same age as you. Obviously.â
âSame age?â
âUh huh! Didnât you see the date on the marriage certificate?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Bai Sheng replied with a blank look on her face, âI was too busy looking at the photos and forgot to look at the date.â
âYou donât even care about your husbandâs birthday.â
Bai Sheng was still in disbelief. âAre we the same age?â
Her suspicions inevitably upset Gu Chengze!
âDo I look that old?â
âNot reallyâ¦â Bai Sheng leaned against the window and said in a quiet voice, âIsnât it said that men mature a little later than women! You look too mature, Iâm not referring to your looks, Iâm just saying that whether itâs your temperament or the way you conduct yourself, you come across as an older man.â
Older man? Gu Chengzeâs gaze could not help drifting away.
He was brought up by Gu Jinglian himself. The man always spoke in an old-fashioned manner. As Gu Chengze modeled himself after the man, his way of speaking gradually became more mature.
âMaybe itâs because of Dadâs influence.â
âIs your father very old?â
âNo.â
The girl looked puzzled.
Gu Chengze replied in all seriousness, âHeâs been very old right from the start.â
Bai Sheng was stumped.
â¦
Far away in the Gu residence, Gu Jinglian, who was practicing calligraphy, suddenly sneezed. The sneeze was so violent that the last stroke went out of line and ruined the entire piece of calligraphy.
Why did he sneeze for no reason? Did someone badmouth him behind his back?
â¦
âIf we are the same age, how old is your father?â
âAbout forty somethingâ¦â
âWhatâs the âsomethingâ, exactly?â
âI donât remember the exact figure.â Gu Chengze would even forget his own birthday at times.
Bai Sheng suddenly became curious, âWhat kind of person is your father?â
At the mention of the man, Gu Chengze suddenly looked disgusted. âHeâs a very fierce man.â
âFierce?â A middle-aged version of Gu Chengze, complete with fangs and claws, appeared in Bai Shengâs mind.
âNot the sort of fierce youâre imagining.â
