Your Beloved Sweetheart Is Online

Chapter 866 - 869: Homeward Bound Like an Arrow

But ten minutes later, when he came out, he wore an air of nonchalance, hands in pockets, striding leisurely into the study. In an even tone, he said to the butler, "Sort out those who came to see me for various reasons by their importance and urgency, and call them in one by one."

The butler felt uneasy, watching the mr. pass him by with an indifferent expression, he sighed inwardly.

Had Mr. been getting along poorly with Miss Chenxing lately? Why did he become so unpredictable again?

Unpredictable as he might be, he never neglected his duties, consolidating all official business and dealing with it all together. By five o’clock in the evening, he would promptly finish work, put away his pen, and clock off.

The man walking out from the study gestured with his hand, "Not eating at home."

The butler caught up with him, "Sir, why have you been staying out lately? It’s certainly not as comfortable as at home."

Gu Shaocheng smiled, "You sure do ask a lot of questions."

The butler broke into a sweat, "The lotuses at home have bloomed, Miss Chenxing always loved lotuses."

"She loves all kinds of flowers, but lately she’s only fond of one particular blossom."

"Oh?"

"A blooming heart flower."

She must be eagerly waiting for him to present a ring and propose to her.

Thinking of Chenxing, his mood suddenly improved tremendously, "Alright, get back to work."

"I’m just worried that, staying outside, Mr. and Miss Chenxing won’t be looked after properly by the servants, and you’ll suffer hardships."

"What hardships would there be for a young couple in love?"

Chenxing surely had prepared a table full of dishes, eagerly waiting for him at the sanatorium. Gu Shaocheng didn’t bother to entertain the butler’s concern. He pulled out his car keys, drove off in his car with a roar.

Just like a true working class hero at quitting time, he was homeward bound, fast as an arrow.

.....................

Ha, that’s the feeling, a young couple living a simple life.

Humming a tune, apron tied around her waist, stir-frying vegetables, wiping the dining table, eagerly waiting at the door, how joyful Chenxing must have been, living such days.

Hm, Shaocheng said he would be home in ten minutes. She vanity checked her appearance in the glass window, flawless. Happy and satisfied, she stood eagerly at the garden gate, peering out.

Upon hearing the sound of a car, she immediately ran out.

It’s funny how hearing works. Though all car noises are similar, she could distinguish which of them signaled Shaocheng’s return.

Gu Shaocheng parked his car in the yard and saw the woman standing there, smiling broadly at him. A sense of "time standing still" overwhelmed him. Holding a bouquet of flowers, he quickly approached and wrapped his arms around her, planting two kisses on her face, "Is dinner ready?"

"It’s ready. I learned a new way to steam fish today. You can try something fresh later, see if my new culinary skills are any good." Her eyes sparkling, she took the lilies, smelled them, then went to put them in a vase.

She turned around, leapt into his arms, and clasped his neck.

"Shaocheng, mom called me ’Little Chenxing’ today. I was so happy, I could have died."

"Did she recognize you?"

"I don’t know. This afternoon, I showed her my childhood photos. She got very emotional, tears streaming down as she clutched my photo. It broke my heart to see. After that, her mood was very unstable, the doctor had to administer a sedative, and now she’s asleep."
