Never Too Late to Love (29)

Gu Chengze teased her, "Mrs. Gu, why is your face so hot?"0

"Hubby!" Taking advantage of the time he was in mid-sentence, Bai Sheng quickly said the word aloud, then broke free from him and ran out of the kitchen.

Gu Chengze stood rooted to the ground until he realized that the little lass had called him "Hubby" when he wasn't paying attention. He couldn't help but laugh.

Why was she so easily embarrassed? She was exactly the same when she was a child. Gu Chengze gently touched the corner of his mouth, feeling dissatisfied with the kiss.

He gently pinched the lid and opened it. A fragrance wafted over. Smiling in satisfaction, he scooped out the sweet and sour pork ribs.

…

Bai Sheng sat through dinner in a daze. She didn't even seem to have tasted the tomato and egg soup that she had been looking forward to so much. Her mind was filled with images of Gu Chengze kissing her.

That was her first kiss.

Still…

In her mind, the other part of her seemed to be arguing, "Haven't you been keeping your first kiss for your husband?"

But… She had known Gu Chengze for only less than a week. The progress was so fast that she was caught off guard.

Gu Chengze saw that she was in a daze the entire time and grew a little nervous. "The food doesn't taste good?"

"No, it's not that…" Bai Sheng immediately snapped back to the present and said, "It's very delicious."

The man heaved a sigh of relief. He was actually very confident in his own culinary skills, but he was especially concerned about her opinion. If she said that it didn't taste good, then it really didn't matter if everyone else said otherwise.

Gu Chengze asked, "What time do you start work tomorrow?"

"Ahhh…" This reminded Bai Sheng that the design drafts she had to submit for work tomorrow had not been prepared yet!

"What's the matter?"

"I haven't done my homework."

"Homework?" Gu Chengze almost laughed. "You have to do homeworks, even now that you're working?"

"Yes, design drafts are homework. I've forgotten about them…"

Too many things had happened recently. So much so that she had neglected her work.

"Do you have to submit them tomorrow?"

"Yes, I have to. Our director is very strict, especially… I'm a newcomer. If I don't work hard, I'll definitely be criticized." Bai Sheng paused for a moment and said, "It's alright, it's very simple. I will be able to finish the designs tonight."

Gu Chengze returned to the previous topic. "What time do you start work tomorrow?"

"Well … we start work at 9.30."

"I'll drive you to the office."

"That's not necessary! It's very convenient for me to take the subway."

Gu Chengze insisted, "I'll worry."

"Uh…"

"It's just as well. I ought to know where you work. Besides, as a husband, it's my duty to send my wife to work."

Unable to dissuade him, Bai Sheng could only accept his offer. "Thank you… Won't you run late yourself if you send me to work?"

"I won't."

"Then I'll get up a little earlier tomorrow."

Gu Chengze's heart ached a little. "Don't you have to rush the design drafts today? You won't be able to go to bed early tonight?"

"I'll make it, don't worry."

After dinner, Bai Sheng took the initiative and offered to wash the dishes, but Gu Chengze could not bear to let her do so. He shooed her back to her room, insisting that she should complete the design draft as soon as possible.

Bai Sheng returned to her room.

The theme this time was… "Her Dream Wedding".

The company was working with the wedding dress boutique to design a new wedding dress.

The task was assigned, and she was to design a wedding dress with "dreams" as its theme.
