Chapter 314 The baby is several months old
On the way home, Hua Lan was no longer as cheerful as she had been on the way there.
She remained silent, and the silence inside the car was eerily quiet.
Chu Xiao noticed that she was restless and sat upright in the chair.
"What? Are you being punished by sitting? Your posture is so upright." There was a rare hint of a smile in Chu Xiao's words.
Hua Lan feigned nonchalance, "No, I'm just a little tired from filling my stomach."
Chu Xiao knew she wasn't telling the truth. "Focus on your studies. The Chu family's affairs have nothing to do with you. Don't take them to heart."
Hua Lan bit her lip. Was Chu Xiao telling her not to meddle in his affairs?
Indeed, her relationship with Chu Xiao was that of a deceased person's daughter, and it was one of sponsorship and being sponsored.
The last time she visited Chu Xiao's house, she imagined that Chu Xiao liked her.
That's when they were proven wrong.
Chu Xiao told her not to meddle in his affairs.
Isn't this just telling her to face reality?
Chu Xiao has never publicly admitted that he likes her.
Chu Xiao paid for her studies and also gave her living expenses.
She really should study hard and not let Chu Xiao's efforts go to waste.
Those imagined sweet moments were like knives, devouring her heart.
Hua Lan felt stifled, but she could only silently endure it.
"The things of the previous generation are in the past. Now I just want to live my life well."
Hua Lan was completely absorbed in the sorrowful emotions between her and Chu Xiao, and did not understand the deeper meaning of Chu Xiao's words at all.
But you can't blame Hua Lan. She's simple-minded. Unless you tell her directly, she won't understand.
She would only think along the lines of Chu Xiao.
Yes, Chu Xiao is already the boss of the company.
Even in the past, his physique and overall demeanor, when leading teams to university military training, would garner him a large following of female students and the admiration of male students.
Moreover, Chu Xiao is now rich, handsome, good at housework, and lives alone.
If he wanted to, what kind of girl wouldn't he have?
That's it.
As long as Chu Xiao is happy, and the girl cares deeply for him, she is willing to bless him.
Seeing that Hua Lan still looked sullen, Chu Xiao wondered what was bothering her.
"Not enough living expenses?"
"What?" Hua Lan was momentarily stunned.
Chu Xiao put it even more bluntly, "I see you're really worried, are you short of living expenses?"
"That's enough, there's plenty left."
Chu Xiao guessed again, "Is it because they don't have any clothes to wear during the change of seasons?"
"Yes, there are. There are still two new jackets you bought last year with the tags on them."
Chu Xiao's slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the steering wheel. "Then... sing me a song."
Hua Lan glanced at him, making sure he wasn't joking, then raised her voice.
"We are the successors of communism, inheriting the revolution..."
Chu Xiao asked her to sing, so she sang.
She used to see their team training after school all the time.
This is their favorite song; their voices are loud, clear, and powerful.
She knows the songs by heart, can sing them off the cuff, and never sings them out of tune.
A clear, melodious voice lingered in the car, and Chu Xiao's expression remained calm.
Hua Lan sang the same song over and over again.
When she got home, she was still humming a tune, completely forgetting the unpleasantness from earlier.
"Singing revolutionary songs really does make people feel happy."
Hua Lan happily poured all the vegetables into the sink, intending to do some initial processing before putting them in the refrigerator.
This method of storage ensures cleanliness and hygiene.
It's also convenient for Chu Xiao to eat whenever he wants.
When Chu Xiao got home, he went to another room.
After finishing her work, Hua Lan thought she would lie on the sofa for a while, play on her phone, and relax.
Chu Xiao called to her from inside the room, "Hua Lan, come here for a moment."
"Coming," Hua Lan replied, reluctantly getting up. "I just sat down and you woke me up again."
"What are you doing?"
Hua Lan, feeling lazy, stood at the door of the room.
But everything before her eyes filled her with joy.
White sheer curtains, pink floral bedding, wooden desk...
Everything was something she liked.
At this moment, the afternoon sun shines in, making the whole room warm and cozy.
Seeing that she liked it, Chu Xiao's usually indifferent face broke into a smile.
"Come and try it out, see if the bed fits?"
Hua Lan ran over in two steps. Before Chu Xiao could even see how she took off her slippers, Hua Lan had already rolled around on the bed.
"Wow~" Hua Lan exclaimed excitedly.
"This bed is neither too soft nor too hard, and the duvet cover is made of cotton and linen, so comfortable, just like the bedding my grandma gave me."
After admiring it for a while, she happily asked Chu Xiao,
"Is this the room prepared for me?"
It's obvious without even thinking about it.
Chu Xiao is a man who doesn't have a girlfriend yet.
If it wasn't prepared for her, who else could it be prepared for?
"No, it's for my daughter."
"Where did your daughter come from?"
"There will be more in the future."
"Wow, I don't care, a baby who's over 280 months old is still a baby, and this one is for me."
Hua Lan's analysis was very logical and her words were extremely certain.
Chu Xiao scoffed, "Aren't you ashamed?"
"Why should I be ashamed to have such a beautiful room to sleep in!"
As Hua Lan spoke, she rolled around on the bed twice more, constantly making exclamations.
"Ah~ That feels so good~"
Chu Xiao looked at the person rolling around on the bed.
Her clothes were pulled up, revealing a glimpse of her slender waist.
It's fleshy and feels very soft.
His deep eyes became dark and unfathomable.
A wave of heat washed over him, his Adam's apple bobbed, and Chu Xiao swallowed hard.
"If you like, you can take a nap in this room. You can also borrow my daughter's wardrobe and desk for now."
After saying that, Chu Xiao ran away before Hua Lan could say anything.
He closed the door to the room and placed a pair of large hands on his lower abdomen.
"It seems I can't bring up the idea of having her come and live with me."
Given Hua Lan's lack of self-awareness, he will eventually be consumed by lust because of her, and he will be the one who suffers in the end.
The two of them took a nap in their respective rooms. The sun was warm, and the warmth made them feel sleepy.
Hua Lan was playing on her phone and didn't even realize when she fell asleep.
She vaguely heard Chu Xiao's voice, which was initially kept low, so she couldn't hear it clearly.
Chu Xiao's voice gradually grew louder, his stern tone filled with anger.
Hua Lan was lying in bed and could hear it clearly.
"I have no interest in blind dates and I don't want to get married, so please stop wasting your time and energy on me."
"I didn't have that before, and I don't need to now, and I don't need to plan for my future."
"I'll handle my own life."
