Indulging Mrs. Lu

Chapter 574 - 572: I Have Said it Many Times, Don’t Call Me Uncle

"Do you like it?"

The man’s voice, melodic as a major chord, reached her ears, causing Xiao Qing to nod subconsciously, "It’s very nice."

"Glad you like it. Once we sort out Lu Xiao’s issues, we’ll move here."

What... What?!

Xiao Qing looked at him in horror, "You mean, this place is..."

"Yes, this is our new home."

Xiao Qing fell silent.

Even if she wanted to speak, she didn’t know what to say.

Ever since Lin Kaixiong came to talk about Lin Xiaoxiao’s issue, Lu Jinyang had mentioned finding a big house. After a long time without hearing him bring it up, she thought he had forgotten about it, but he had been preparing secretly all along.

For a moment, Xiao Qing felt somewhat guilty towards him.

"Why aren’t you speaking?"

Lu Jinyang and Xiao Qing stood very close; Xiao Qing could even feel the warmth of his breath floating above her head.

Yet, for some reason, she just didn’t want to talk.

After waiting a long time, and with Gu Chen and Gu Li nowhere in sight, Lu Jinyang’s feet began to numb before Xiao Qing finally spoke up.

"Lu Jinyang, thank you. But first, you need to take care of Lu Xiao and Leng Wanxi, then we can probably move here."

Lu Jinyang: "..."

At this moment, Gu Chen and Gu Li were on their way home.

Per Gu Li’s request, the two had visited the shopping mall.

"President Gu, what would you like to eat tonight? I have to work tomorrow, so I’m thinking of buying food for several days," Gu Li said while pushing the shopping cart.

Gu Chen walked alongside her, his hands in his pockets, his gaze toward the groceries indifferent, as if aloof from worldly affairs.

Upon hearing Gu Li’s question, he responded indifferently, "I’m not picky. Whatever you like is fine."

Gu Li rolled her eyes internally. He might not be picky, but his stomach certainly was. Just like before, if he ate something even slightly spicy, his stomach would rebel.

In plain terms, his choosy stomach only accepted mild food, which was a source of major frustration for Gu Li.

She suddenly stopped, raised an eyebrow, and asked him, "Uncle Gu, have you checked your stomach in these past few years?"

Uncle Gu again!

Gu Chen, whose face had been emotionless, scowled, "I’ve told you many times, don’t call me uncle, just call me by my name."

But Gu Li shook her head, "No way, you’re my guardian, and you’re seven years older than me. It’s impolite to call you by your name."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Gu Li felt Gu Chen’s expression sour further. She simply turned away and stopped talking to him.

This man was really strange. He got mad when she told the truth, and he didn’t appreciate flattering words either. She really worried for his future sister-in-law.

After walking a few steps, Gu Li heard footsteps behind her. It was Gu Chen catching up.

"You’ll accompany me for a check-up tomorrow."

"What?"

Caught off-guard by Gu Chen’s words, Gu Li thought she had misheard, but he repeated what he’d just said.

Gu Li nodded, then shook her head, "Tomorrow is Monday. I have to work."

"Your artist isn’t in. What are you going to do at the company?"

Gu Li: "..."

When they got home, Gu Li carried groceries into the kitchen, while Gu Chen went to his study.

An hour later, when she came out of the kitchen with the dishes, Gu Chen was neither in the living room nor his bedroom. Frowning, she was about to call him when she noticed the study door was slightly ajar.

She slowly approached and peered through the gap. Gu Chen was sitting in a chair, his back towards the door, staring out the window, lost in thought.
