4664 Never Too Late to Love (71)

"He's the closest to Auntie Chu He but I don't think he's mentioned it to her."

Gu Linxi shook his head. "I don't know if he said anything."

"Why don't you go back and ask around? Perhaps he has told everyone except you."

Gu Linxi grimaced and his eyelids twitched violently. Seriously? Did this kid really tell everyone but him? That was rather hard to believe. However, if it were otherwise, how could Yun Tianyou know about it when even he himself didn't?

With these doubts in mind, Gu Linxi returned to the Gu residence after work. As he walked in, he saw Chu He, who was doing embroidery.

Recently, she had become obsessed with embroidery. While others were obsessed with diamond stickers, she had taken a fancy to embroidery.

During this period of time, embroidery became a trend suddenly. However, the craft was not something that just anyone could do.

Both Gu Jinglian and Gu Linxi thought that it was just a passing fad. Something like embroidery would have been too delicate for a pair of hands that were more used to gripping guns. To everyone's surprise, it turned out it wasn't a passing fad. She was actually quite good at it.

Gu Linxi stood at the door and stared at Chu He for a while. She was so engrossed in the sewing that she did not realize that he had returned.

His gaze rested on her for some time. Perhaps it was because he was so used to seeing them every day. But after so many years, the woman did not seem to have aged much. He had no idea what sort of magic immortality pills both Gu Jinglian and Chu He had taken, but apart from their facial features that had matured slightly, one could detect almost no changes when they smiled.

Chu He was not one to undergo any expensive maintenance routine. Other than a basic moisturizer, she had not undergone any thread lifts. However, she often exercised. She had been training since she was young. If she did not train for a period of time, she would feel especially listless.

After so many years, Gu Jinglian had not changed much except for now having a more steady personality. Or rather, one could say that he had already stepped into the phase of life in which he was an old man.

In the mornings, he would go for walks hand-in-hand with Chu He. When she went for a jog, he'd be in the park with the bird cage, enjoying the morning breeze.

The man had become obsessed with rearing parrots. Not only that. He would walk his parrots like the others walked their dogs. Hence, according to Gu Linxi, the man had practically stepped into the ranks of a senior citizen.

"Big Brother, aren't you home so early today?" Gu Xinghan's remarked.

Hearing this, Chu He immediately raised her head and looked back at Gu Xinghan. He had been lying on the recliner taking an afternoon nap. When he saw Gu Linxi return, he yawned lazily and sat up.

Gu Xinghan had just turned 16 and was in his prime. His young but slightly immature handsome face bore a hint of innate rebelliousness and perversion. He was extremely rebellious, like an insufferably arrogant little devil. It was as if he had inexhaustible energy, and now, he had become the biggest headache for his father.

His eyes bore resemblance to Chu He's. A pair of bright phoenix eyes that exuded a cynical arrogance. His high nose bridge, and especially his thin lips, were exactly like Gu Jinglian's.
