Chapter 4696 Never Too Late to Love (103)
“Uncle? Auntie?”
Gu Chengze was amused by her silliness. He reminded her, “We’re already married. Isn’t it inappropriate to call them uncle and auntie now?”
“Ah, ah, ah, how should I address them?”
Father-in-law?
!!
That’s not right…!
For a moment, Bai Shengsheng had forgotten what those two terms meant. She was so anxious that her face and ears turned red. She tried her best to think, but because she was nervous, her mind drew a blank.
Gu Jinglian was considerably calm and reminded her in a deep voice, “Those two addresses are ‘father-in-law’ and ‘mother-in-law’…”
Chu He nudged him and said, “Don’t show such a stern expression. What if you scare your daughter-in-law?”
The man shot her a resentful look.
For goodness’ sake. He was even more nervous than the girl.
Gu Jinglian also thought that since this was his daughter-in-law’s first visit, he should at least maintain a proper attitude and not appear too cold.
However, it was only right that he came across steady.
As a result, his authority as the head of the Gu family was inevitably displayed.
A person’s aura is really a mysterious thing.
Gu Chengze been cultivating for so many years, but he was not able to develop his father’s aura.
The elder Gu looked extremely sharp just quietly sitting there, not smiling and occasionally, raising his eyebrows slightly.
Bai Sheng was so frightened that she did not dare to speak, or even, had forgotten how to speak.
“Hello, Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, how do you do…” Bai Sheng greeted them with trepidation.
Satisfied, Gu Jinglian drank his tea. Chu He clicked her tongue again and said, “Don’t just drink your tea! Your daughter-in-law is greeting you!”
“…” Couldn’t she wait till he finished this mouthful of tea!
The man glared at Chu He, who glared back at him with the same look of self-righteousness. He admitted defeat, cleared his throat, and extended his hand to shake hers firmly once. “Don’t be too nervous. You’re making me nervous too.”
“Pfft!” Perhaps it was because Bai Sheng was too tense, but his words seemed to soften her tense nerves. She could not help laughing at his helpless tone. He looked so serious that she did not expect him to be nervous at all. Could it be that he looked serious because he was nervous?
Gu Jinglian was indeed nervous. After all, this was the first time in his life that he had become a father-in-law. Naturally, he had to be careful so as not to scare his daughter-in-law.
The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward.
The man turned to looked at Chu He, who turned to look at Gu Chengze, who then turned to look at Bai Sheng. Finally, Bai Sheng looked at Gu Jinglian timidly.
The four of them suddenly cleared their throats in tacit understanding.
Amazing.
Gu Chengze broke out in a cold sweat.
Marriages are predestined; people marry because they share common traits.
However, wasn’t this tacit understanding reflected at a considerably high level?
Although Gu Jinglian was no longer as nervous, he was a man of few words and did not know how to break the silence.
Chu He, on the other hand, clapped her hands lightly. “Sheng’er, right? Don’t just stand there. Come and sit beside me.”
When Bai Sheng heard this, she walked to her side. Chu He smiled at her and said, “From now on, I will call you Sheng’er, okay?”
“Okay, alright.”
Sheng’er… so familiar.
Sometimes, Gu Chengze would call her that. Even though Bai Sheng felt that it was a little strange, she quickly got over it.
Chu He had also been observing her reaction.
Bai Sheng had been to the Gu Residence when she was young. Now, she had returned as a daughter-in-law.
While she was happy, she was also a little suspicious. Did the girl remember this place?
