She was trying to goad him into telling her that he really liked the scarf. However, Gu Jinglian turned his face away, his large hand tightly clutching his scarf as he pursed his thin lips tightly without saying a word.
Chu He even went around to stand right in front of him, only to see Gu Jinglian looking out of the window with a disdainful expression.
She secretly laughed when she saw this, but pretended to play it down to provoke him further. “If you don’t like it, I can’t force you to wear it right!? It’s better to give it to Baby Chu. The child will definitely like it! As long as it’s made by me, he’ll like it no matter how ugly it is!”
Gu Jinglian frowned but did not say anything. He was like a child throwing a tantrum.
“Give it to him?”
“Uh huh! Baby Chu has been looking forward to me knitting a scarf for him. This saves me the time to knit another!”
Gu Jinglian pouted unhappily. “No! This is mine!”
He sounded like a kid!
Chu He was dying of laughter inside!
Good heavens. Why did she only realize now that this man actually had such an adorable side to him?!
Outwardly, he made it quite clear that he didn’t like the scarf very much and didn’t care about it at all. However, he had his hands wrapped tightly and protectively around it.
Just like a child protecting his precious toy.
“Do you like it then?” Chu He asked again.
Gu Jinglian’s gaze returned to the mirror. He bore a sullen expression on his handsome face, and tried to look nonchalant as he said, “Although it’s not very nice, I’ll just have to wear it since you knitted it for me!”
He said this with an emphasis on the remark, “since you knitted it for me”, as if it was her supreme honor that he was willing to wear it! He gave her the honor.
Chu He despised him even more now.
“Listen carefully. I’m asking you whether you like it or not. Not whether you’re willing to wear it.”
Why was he being so awkward!?
She really wanted to rub his face.
Gu Jinglian grunted and said vaguely, “It’s alright.”
“…”
Chu He reached out to grab the scarf, removing it from his neck. “Forget it, I won’t force you.”
“No!”
“Give it back!”
“No way.”
Gu Jinglian put on his scarf and ran away. Chu He followed and ran after him with her belly sticking out. However, she was pregnant after all. How could she outrun Gu Jinglian?
The two of them bickered along the corridor. Chu He was furious. Seeing that she could not catch up, Gu Jinglian retreated while sneering provocatively, “This is mine. You gave it to me, so how can you take it back?”
“You…” The woman was so angry that she was gasping for breath. Suddenly, a pained expression appeared on her face. She suddenly held her belly and squatted down with a painful groan.
When Gu Jinglian saw this, he immediately rushed over. He held her shoulders and asked anxiously, “What’s wrong?!”
What was going on?
Was she going to give birth?!
Impossible.
How long had she been pregnant? They were still far from delivery day.
Chu He mumbled incoherently, “You… because you make me so angry!”
“What do I do to anger you?”
“Ouch…” Chu He collapsed in his arms, clutching her belly with an expression of agony.
Gu Jinglian was at a loss.
She muttered, “Do you really not like my scarf at all? I knitted it for a long time and spent a lot of effort on it!”
“I like it!” Gu Jinglian replied without thinking, “I like it.”
“Really?!” Chu He gasped and asked, “You’re not just trying to placate me?”
