A New Addition (382)

1"How awkward!" Butler Fu thought to himself.

Chu He asked him, "Butler Fu, do you think the dark gray color suits Jinglian?"

"Yes, it suits. As long as you think it suits."

"It can't be just because I think it suits him. What if he doesn't look good in it?" Chu He smiled. "I don't think he wears a scarf usually. I wonder if he will wear it after I complete it."

Then, she muttered to herself, "Alternatively, I could give it to Baby Chu!"

She did notice that Gu Jinglian did not seem to be very interested in the scarf she was knitting, she was worried that he would not even look at it after all her painstaking efforts. He may even chuck it in the wardrobe and not wear it, and that would upset her!

Butler Fu was anxious when he heard this. "No! Didn't you say you were going to knit this scarf for Old Master? If you give it to Baby Chu, Old Master will be angry!"

"Angry? Why?" Chu He was somewhat puzzled. "Isn't it true that he doesn't like wearing scarves!"

"That's different." Butler Fu explained, "As long as it's knitted by you, Old Master will definitely wear it every day. Even if it's torn, he won't bear to throw it away!" He paused and smiled for a moment before continuing. "Chu He, don't you know what Old Master is like? He has a sharp tongue and a soft heart. He may say that the scarf doesn't look good when in fact, he's secretly happy! However, Old Master has always been awkward. He may say he doesn't like something, when he actually likes it very much! It's just that he doesn't say it aloud because of his ego!"

"Really?!" Chu He laughed when she heard this although she did not understand. "I don't know why he has to be so awkward. One either likes or dislikes. Can't he be more straightforward?"

"Men are different from women. Hehe, with Old Master's personality, he would rather suffer than lose face."

"Fine then!"

Chu He shook her head and looked at the scarf in her hand. She said, "I can finish knitting this scarf in a few days. When the weather gets cold, he can wear it!"

"Uh huh."

Butler Fu added, "Hurry down and have dinner! I made chicken soup for you. Don't let it get cold."

"Uh huh."

After dinner, Chu He knitted for a while. When her eyes were getting blurry, she put the scarf aside and checked her cell phone. There was a notification.

Unlocking the screen, she saw a message from the woman who had introduced her to the mother-to-be chat group earlier. The woman asked, "Are you coming to the mother-to-be interaction session next week?"

"Are you there? Why aren't you responding?!"

"Are you still angry about what happened this afternoon?"

…

Having read the messages, Chu He replied, "Mother-to-be interaction session? What's this about?"

"Didn't I tell you before!" That person immediately replied, "Apart from taking care of their pregnancies, many mothers-to-be feel lonely. All of us happen to be from the same city, and we are all mothers-to-be. There are also some 'veterans' who have already given birth. It's a rare chance for everyone to gather, chat, and share their thoughts!"

Chu He was a little hesitant. "I've been busy knitting scarves recently. I don't think I have time to go out."

The point was, they were not on good terms, and it would be awkward if they met.

"Knitting scarves? For the baby?"

"No, it's for my husband. The weather is getting cold and I have free time. I learned how to knit a scarf and decided to knit one for him."
