Mrs Chu took the things in Gu Xiaoâs hand and threw them to Mr Chu, who was following behind her. Then, she held Gu Xiaoâs hand and they walked into the living room.
As they walked, she asked with a gentle expression, âXiaoxiao, didnât Xiao An say that you guys left very early? Why did you arrive so late? Is there a traffic jam?â
Gu Xiao glanced sideways at Chu An and happened to meet Chu Anâs somewhat helpless gaze. After Chu An nodded slightly at Gu Xiao, Gu Xiao turned around and continued to listen to Mrs Chuâs worried words.
âThe road was congested for a while. Me andââ
Their voices gradually faded away, leaving Chu An and Mr Chu standing on the spot, looking at each other.
âGive it to me. 1â11 take it,â Mr Chu said as he extended his hand to Chu An.
After taking out the things in Chu Anâs hands, Mr Chu couldnât help but say, âYou could have just come back. Why are you buying these things? We donât lack anything at home.â
Chu An looked at Gu Xiao with a smile in hisr eyes. After hearing Mr Chuâs words, he turned around and glanced at him.
âI didnât plan to buy anything at first, but Xiaoxiao felt that she needed to buy something for the Mid-Autumn Festival. I told her that she shouldnâtâ¦â
Before Chu An could finish speaking, he was glared at by Mr Chu.
âThatâs because youâre not as sensible as Xiaoxiao! Look at you. Youâve been with Xiaoxiao for so long, but you havenât learned anything from her!â
Mr Chu said angrily. He took his things and chased after Mrs Chu and Gu Xiao, completely ignoring his youngest son, who was left behind.
Chu An looked at the back view of Mr Chu, who was huffing angrily, but was walking very happily. The corners of his lips curled up, and a hint of amusement flashed across his eyes.
It was as if parents were always like this. When their children returned home and they saw their children buying things, they could not help but want to scold them. However, no matter what their children brought back, it was always precious.
Whether this parent was an ordinary parent or a parent in a high position, they seemed to always be like this.
Chu An looked at the backs of Gu Xiao and the other two. When he met Chu Ziâs gaze, his footsteps couldnât help but lighten slightly.
When Chu An came to the sofa, he realized that the seat beside Gu Xiao had already been occupied by Mrs Chu and his sister-in-law on the left and right, leaving no space for him at all.
Chu Zi, who was still sitting alone at the side, waved at Chu An and asked him to come to his side so that he wouldnât be sitting on a sofa alone.
Chu An had just sat down when he heard Gu Xiao finish talking about the traffic jam just now. At this moment, Mrs Chu and Sister-in-law Chu were complaining about the traffic conditions in the capital.
After all, it was espeically rare to have no congestion during the morning rush hour in the capital. Especially during the holidays, the traffic jam was even worse.
This traffic jam didnât care who you were or what kind of big shot you were. You would still be stuck in traffic!
The two of them complained about the traffic jam in the capital. Then, Mrs Chu seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes lit up. She tightened her grip on Gu Xiaoâs hand.
âSince the traffic jam is so serious, how about Xiaoxiao stay at the Chu residence for the next few days?â Mrs Chu looked at Gu Xiao expectantly.
However, before Gu Xiao could say anything, Chu An couldnât sit still anymore. âNo!â Chu An objected. His emotions were a little intense. It seemed like he really didnât want Gu Xiao to stay in the Chu family villa. âI donât agree!â Previously, Chu An was still thinking of abducting Gu Xiao back to the Chu family villa so that Gu Xiao would have an elder who truly doted on her. Now, he definitely didnât want Gu Xiao to stay in the Chu family villa.
Gu Xiaoâs favorability in the Chu family villa was too high. If Gu Xiao stayed in the Chu family villa, Gu Xiaoâs time would definitely be occupied by Mrs Chu or his sister-in-law. He would not have a place by Gu Xiaoâs side.
But if it was in their villa, then he could be as close to Gu Xiao as he wanted. No one would come over to snatch Gu Xiaoâs attention!
Not to mention, ever since Chu Zi informed Mr Chu and Mrs Chu that he might have bullied Gu Xiao, Mrs Chu and his sister-in-law were completely on guard against him in the Chu family villa, making him unable to approach Gu Xiao.
Under such circumstances, how could he watch helplessly as Gu Xiao stayed in this dragonâs pool and tigerâs den!
