One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love

4665 Never Too Late to Love (72)

When they were young, Gu Xinghan and Gu Lingge looked quite similar. As they grew older, the two little fellows began to look different.

Gu Lingge looked especially like Gu Jinglian. Her soft appearance, especially her peach blossom eyes, resembled her father’s, although she had the natural charm of a girl. When she was young, people often commented that if Lingge grew up looking like her father, there’d be a huge line of suitors at their door.

The man gave an icy snort and said airily, “When she grows up, those boys with improper backgrounds won’t even have the chance to cross the Gu family’s threshold.”

From a young age, the man had favored Gu Lingge, while Gu Xinghan was closer to his mother.

Opposite gender attracts… This saying was actually so applicable to the Gu family.

Gu Jinglian had a bad temper, but there was nothing he could do about Gu Lingge. Now that the girl decided that she wanted to go kite-flying, the man eagerly brought his precious daughter to the park.

Chu He stayed at home to embroider as Gu Xinghan took an afternoon nap while accompanying her.

“Linxi, why are you back so early today?” She was surprised.

Gu Linxi casually placed his briefcase on the table and said with a smile, “There’s nothing much to do in the office, so I’m home early.”

“Oh!” Nodding her head, Chu He presented the embroidery piece to him as if presenting a treasure. “Look, how’s my embroidery?”

“Yes, very good.”

“You’re too perfunctory. You haven’t even taken a proper look.”

Exasperated, Gu Linxi said, “Mom, you clearly know that I know nothing about this. As long as it’s you who embroidered it, I think it looks good.”

Chu He smiled and did not pursue the matter. She returned to the table with the embroidery and began to embroider again seriously.

Gu Xinghan yawned. “Mom, isn’t your neck sore from keeping your head lowered?”

“It’s not sore.”

“Be careful of cervical spondylosis!”

She glared at him.

Gu Xinghan felt guilty from the glare and whistled. “Take it that I didn’t say anything! I’m just concerned.”

Gu Linxi suddenly asked, “Mom, did Chengze come home recently?”

“He?” Chu He looked up, narrowed her eyes, and said, “Uh… If you hadn’t mentioned that boy, I’d have almost forgotten about him.”

“Hahaha! If Second Brother hears this, he’d probably lock himself in the bathroom to cry.”

“Hmph, your second brother’s not so fragile, crying at the drop of a hat. He’s not like when he was young.”

“I thought that he’d have come back to visit.”

Chu He was at a loss for what to say. “That rascal has almost forgotten about me and his father.”

Gu Xinghan could not help but complain, “Isn’t it the same for you and Dad. The both of you have completely forgotten about him.”

Chu He blushed slightly. “Don’t you dare say another word!”

Gu Xinghan quickly raised his hand and patted his face. “Yes, me and my big mouth. Mummy the Great, I’ll slap myself. You don’t have to do it.”

Only then was Chu He appeased.

She turned around and looked at Gu Linxi. “Why did you ask about him?”

“Nothing. I saw that he hasn’t been home recently, so I asked.”

“He’s probably busy with work.” Chu He thought nothing much of it.

Gu Linxi rubbed his nose. “Has there been no news of him recently? Has he not spoken to you on the phone?”

Gu Xinghan said coldly, “Didn’t Mom say that she’s almost forgotten about Second Brother?”
