3774: A New Addition (390)

A New Addition (390)

The day of the gathering came and Chu He had completely forgotten about it. It was only when they called and asked where she was that she remembered.1

She packed her yarn and knitting needles and prepared to leave.

Gu Jinglian happened to be at home, and was a little surprised to see that she was preparing to go out when just a moment ago she was quietly knitting a hat.

"Where are you going?"

"Oh, I'm going to a friend's gathering."

"A friend's gathering?"

Gu Jinglian looked at her suspiciously. "You have friends?"

"Of course, I have friends."

"Oh." Gu Jinglian acted as if he did not care and asked, "Male friends or female friends?"

"They're all women." Chu He asked, "Why? Are you checking up on me?"

"I was just asking." Gu Jinglian grunted awkwardly. "You're not taking me along?"

"We're all females, why should I bring you along?" Chu He chuckled. "Are you worried about me?"

Gu Jinglian's lips curled upwards. "Ha, who would have thought that the once high and mighty Interpol anti-vice inspector and heroine would actually attend a women's party like an ordinary woman?"

Chu He said sullenly, "What do you mean? Can't I participate? Can't I behave like a woman?"

"Sure you can." Gu Jinglian raised his eyebrows. "I'll send you there."

"There's no need for that, I'll get Butler Fu to arrange for a car."

When Gu Jinglian heard this, he was actually a little angry that she should refuse when he was kind enough to offer. "I'm just worried, since you're pregnant, that no one will take care of you. Stupid woman, how can you not appreciate my kindness?"

Chu He furrowed her brow. Even though she was used to his awkward personality, she still felt uncomfortable.

"Since you want to send me there so badly, stop being so awkward. If you don't want to send me there, then stay at home and don't follow me!"

After saying that, Chu He strode away.

When Gu Jinglian heard this, he was momentarily embarrassed. However, being worried that she was pregnant and was going to a gathering alone, he shamelessly followed her!

Chu He saw him following behind from the corner of her eye and chuckled to herself.

She had to admit that this man was like a child in some aspects. He was too childish. However, seeing that he was shamelessly tagging behind her, she turned around to strike a deal with him. "You can come with me, but you can't enter the private room."

"Why?"

"There are so many women. It's not good for a man like you to go, right?"

"What's wrong with that?"

"In short, if you don't agree to it, don't send me there!"

The man was defeated. "Alright then. I'll wait in another room."

"Alright."

Gu Jinglian drove her to the self-service cafe. This self-service cafe was relatively common in the city and the gathering was organized in an AA system. Chu He had already transferred the money to them through WeChat.

When they arrived at the cafe, Gu Jinglian went to park the car. Chu He went in first and provided the room number, but was stopped by the service staff.

"You'll need to make payment first."

"Huh? Did my friends not pay on my behalf?"

"No. There are ten people in the booth, and they only paid four hundred dollars. Payment hasn't been made for you. It's 40 per person, thank you."

Chu He felt a little awkward. How could that be? Why didn't they pay her share?

Didn't they say that they had made reservations for the number of people turning up?

She didn't have any money with her. "Can I pay by WeChat?"

"Yes, you can. Please come with me."
