4684 Never Too Late to Love (91)

“Don’t get out of bed and walk around. Just eat on the bed.”

Bai Sheng was stunned and felt even more embarrassed. She felt that there was a hint of playfulness in his tone, as if he had seen through her predicament.

Could it be that this man knew that her legs were sore and swollen, so he didn’t let her get out of bed?!

“What’s the matter?” Gu Chengze sat on the side of the bed and looked at her. “Why aren’t you eating? Aren’t you hungry?”

Feeling somewhat confused, Bai Sheng replied, “You should eat something too!”

“No hurry. I’ll eat when you’re done.” There seemed to be some hidden meaning in his words.

But Bai Sheng did not get it, obviously. In front of this big bad wolf, Bai Sheng was like an ignorant little white rabbit. She silently grabbed her chopsticks, grabbed the bread, dipped it in some jam, and took a bite. The soft bread coupled with the sweet jam was extremely delicious.

Bai Sheng was so happy that she felt like she was melting! His culinary skills were really good. He made perfect toasts.

“Is it good?”

“Uh huh.”

As Bai Sheng ate, she could feel his gaze on her the entire time. She shrunk her shoulders awkwardly.

“This morning…”

She spoke hesitantly, not knowing if she should ask.

“Eh? What’s wrong?”

“My team leader called this morning. Did you answer the call?”

“Uh huh.”

“What did you say to her?”

“What’s the matter?”

Gu Chengze said, “I can’t remember.”

“She seemed angry.”

Gu Chengze furrowed his brows before replying, “I said that you were sick and needed to take a week off. She said that the company doesn’t provide for such a long sick leave.”

“And you got mad at her?”

“Mad?”

Gu Chengze rubbed his chin and said truthfully, “I didn’t lose my temper, did I? Why? Did she scold you?”

Bai Sheng silently raised her phone and showed him the WeChat message sent by the team leader.

Gu Chengze took the phone and glanced at it. He saw what the team leader sent: Bai Sheng, did you do this on purpose?! Getting an outsider to apply for leave on your behalf instead of doing it yourself! The leave your husband has applied for you does not count. Today, it will be treated as absence without leave! Please come to work on time tomorrow. Otherwise, it will simply be treated as absence without leave again.

“Absence without leave?”

Gu Chengze smiled. “Sure, it’s best if they just fire you.”

“Hey!”

Bai Sheng looked at him reproachfully and said, “It’s not easy to find a job now, yet you wish for me to be fired.”

Gu Chengze put his arm around her shoulder and said confidently, “If you’re fired, won’t I have a reason to support you?”

Bai Sheng’s face turned red and she said reluctantly, “I don’t want you to take care of me! Girls should be independent and not rely on men to take care of them.”

“Have you been reading too many chicken soup essays in WeChat circle?”

“Eh?”

“Such as, men are unreliable. A woman has her youth only for a short time and should use it to forge a path for herself. You can’t hold a man’s heart with your youth. When you grow old, you become worthless. In the end, women who rely on men for a living will be eliminated by society…”

Bai Sheng was stumped. How did he know?

She had indeed read this kind of chicken soup essays.

Gu Chengze raised his eyebrows in displeasure. “Why? Do you think I’m the kind of scumbag depicted in the chicken soup essays?”

“No.”

“Or, are you lacking a sense of security altogether.”

A sense of security…

Bai Sheng nodded hesitantly.

She really didn’t have a sense of security.

She had always felt that she could only rely on herself.

If she relied on a man, it would be hell if he abandoned her one day.
