Chapter 399: Preparing to Leave

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Facing Mrs Chu’s persuasion, Gu Xiao did not know whether to laugh or cry.

She secretly glanced at Chu An, who was hiding at the side and happy to watch the show, with a hint of warning and threat in her eyes.

Chu An received Gu Xiao’s signal and immediately understood what she meant.

Gu Xiao had a good relationship with Mrs Chu now. The reason had been explained just now. Mrs Chu still hoped that Gu Xiao could stay for a longer period of time, so Gu Xiao could not refuse any further.

At this moment, only Chu An, who was her son, could step forward.

“Mom, didn’t 1 say that Xiaoxiao and 1 have an eight o’clock lesson tomorrow? It’s not near from here to A University. If you let Xiaoxiao stay, can you bear to let Xiaoxiao get up and go to school before dawn tomorrow?”

After returning to their apartment outside A University today, they could at least sleep a little more tomorrow.

Moreover…

“Didn’t Xiaoxiao just say that Xiaoxiao would follow me home during the New Year and winter break? If you scare Xiaoxiao now, what if she doesn’t want to come later?”

Hearing Chu An’s first words, Mrs Chu’s eyes wavered. When she heard Chu An’s last sentence, Mrs Chu directly glared at Chu An.

“What are you talking about?! Xiaoxiao and I are very close! Xiaoxiao won’t be frightened by me!”

As Mrs Chu spoke, she smiled at Gu Xiao. After receiving Gu Xiao’s nod, she let go of Gu Xiao’s hand in a good mood.

She turned to face Chu An, and the smile on her face immediately disappeared. She took a few steps forward and reached out to poke Chu An’s forehead.

“Even if Xiaoxiao really doesn’t want to come home, it must be you who have done something to anger Xiaoxiao! It has nothing to do with me!”

With Mr Chu watching alertly from the side, Chu An could only silently endure Mrs Chu’s poke at his forehead. He could even only echo Mrs Chu’s words.

“Yes, yes, it’s my fault. Mom, please show mercy.”

Although Mrs Chu usually looked gentle and gentle, the force in her hand was not small. That fair finger only poked Chu An’s forehead a few times before it began to turn red.

Speaking of which, when Chu An and Chu Zi were young, they would rather go against Mr Chu than rebel against Mrs Chu.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Mrs Chu retracted her hand and temporarily let Chu An off.

She humphed softly and walked towards Gu Xiao again.

“Xiaoxiao, remember to come and visit next time you have time. I’m really bored at home alone,” Mrs Chu said as she looked at Gu Xiao expectantly.

When Gu Xiao heard this, she subconsciously glanced at Mr Chu, who had been standing behind Mrs Chu. Mr Chu was clearly dissatisfied with the “alone” Mrs Chu had just said, but he did not dare to refute Mrs Chu. He could only stand at the side aggrievedly and recover from it himself.

When Chu An saw Mr Chu like this, he snorted coldly in his heart and looked down on his father.

Look at what he had done for half his life. His wife was not even willing to acknowledge him! He would definitely not end up like this in the future. Xiaoxiao would definitely always value him!

Gu Xiao looked at Mr Chu’s angry expression and found it funny. However, he was still an elder and she could not really laugh.

Hence, Gu Xiao could only shift her gaze away from Mr Chu and look at Mrs Chu again.

“Auntie, don’t worry. I’ll come and visit you when 1 have time.”

After receiving Gu Xiao’s guarantee, Mirs Chu beamed with joy and nodded repeatedly.

Mrs Chu then looked at the servant at the side. After giving the servant a look, she said to Gu Xiao, “Auntie has prepared something for you.” Seeing that Gu Xiao seemed to be about to reject her, Mrs Chu spoke first. “It’s not anything expensive. It’s just some food. You can share it with Xiao An.”

After Mrs Chu finished speaking, she even patted Gu Xiao’s hand.

Gu Xiao’s rejection was blocked by Mrs Chu, and she did not know how to continue rejecting her.

She glanced at Chu An, and after seeing him nod, she said to Mrs Chu, “There’s naturally no reason to reject Auntie’s kind intentions.”

The smile on Mrs Chu’s face widened. “That’s right.”

Then, she looked at Chu An. “Little An, why aren’t you opening the trunk so we can put things in?”

When Chu An heard this, he opened the trunk. Mrs Chu was at the side, instructing the servants to place the things she had already prepared..
