4678 Never Too Late to Love (85)

Gu Chengze did not stop. He walked further and further away. The cries ringing out behind him became more and more miserable. However, no one in this building cared.

This was his Gu Corporation.

…

When Gu Chengze returned home, he saw that Bai Sheng had fallen asleep on the sofa with a book in her hands. It was obvious that she had dozed off while reading.

The man walked over, casually picked up the book and placed it aside. Bai Sheng was alarmed by his footsteps and sat up on the sofa immediately, rubbing her sleepy eyes. "You… you're back!"

"Uh huh."

"Is it that late already?"

It was only then that Bai Shengsheng regained some clarity. She stood up and looked out of the window. The sky was still bright.

Gu Chengze was already sitting on the sofa. He held her hand and pulled her back into his embrace.

"I'm home early today."

Caught off-guard, Bai Sheng fell into his arms. He rarely took the initiative to touch her. After being married for so long, he had not forced her to do anything. This time though, he took the initiative to embrace her.

However, Bai Sheng did not feel any disgust. In fact, she could not help but blush at this act of intimacy.

"You…" Bai Sheng felt that the two of them were too close and became a little shy. She quickly changed the topic, "Are you back early because it's not busy at work?"

"I miss you." Gu Chengze said gently, "I missed you, so I came home early to accompany you."

He rarely said such romantic things. Bai Sheng felt her heart rate increasing.

Normally, she could not stand such mushy sweet nothings, but for some reason, those words sounded pleasant coming from him.

Bai Sheng froze in his embrace and did not dare to move. Noticing how stiff her body was, Gu Chengze knew that she was nervous. He laughed and said, "Why are you so nervous?"

"I… I…" She couldn't possibly tell him that she had never been so intimate with a member of the opposite sex, could she? She was too embarrassed to say it. She pursed her lips and kept silent.

Gu Chengze didn't need her to speak. Right now, he only wanted to hold her in his arms. When he thought about how Ye Yuqin treated her, his heart ached. All the more, he wanted to make up for what she never had over the years.

For so many years, no one seemed to have doted on her. All she had was people scheming against her.

"If only I had met you earlier. Wouldn't that be so good."

If he had met her in university, they could have had a sweet romance, and it would have been about time for then to get married by the time they graduated. Perhaps, by now, they would've had an adorable child and a warm and happy family of three.

However, although fate was late, love was not.

Gu Chengze was a very stubborn person. He believed in love. Likewise, he was a very nostalgic person. Bai Sheng was the first girl who had aroused his interest.

Although, they were very young at that time and did not know anything about relationships. They were purely childhood sweethearts.

However, as time passed, he missed her increasingly. Perhaps he would have forgotten what she looked like if not for the fact that he had kept her photo and taken it out to look at from time to time when he missed her. But he had not been able to forget her name.

He had forgotten many childhood memories, but never forgotten her. He had kept her in his heart all this time…
