Chapter 2758 - Come here!
Chapter 2758: Come here!
Looking at his guilty look, Gu Jinglian frowned. “Why are you hiding at the door?”
“I… I…”
Baby Chu stammered for a while and suddenly said, “Don’t blame him! After I grow up and earn money, I’ll definitely return you the money he spent on buying me new clothes!”
“…”
Huh… What did he mean?
Gu Jinglian was baffled.
On the other hand, Butler Fu felt moved.
This little boy was worried that I’ll be reprimanded by Master for spending money on him, so he secretly followed me here!
Although there were some misunderstandings, this child’s kindness still moved him.
Gu Jinglian felt a little irritated. However, for some unknown reason, he could not help but steal a few more glances at this boy. Baby Chu was standing fixedly to the spot with an aggrieved expression. Looking reluctant to back down, he pinched the corner of his shirt and stared at Gu Jinglian somewhat nervously.
Suddenly, he sat back down at the desk and beckoned Baby Chu.
“Come over here!”
“What?”
“Come over here!”
Baby Chu was a little stunned.
This bad uncle is summoning me!
But he looks so fierce! Is he going to scold me?
Feeling fearful, Baby Chu did not dare to step forward.
Noticing that he seemed to be afraid of Gu Jinglian, Butler Fu smiled helplessly and said, “Baby Chu, the uncle is calling you over!”
“But…”
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
Butler Fu encouraged him.
Baby Chu bit his lip and gathered his courage. He slowly walked towards Gu Jinglian and stood still in front of him. Lowering his head guiltily, he did not even dare to look at Gu Jinglian.
Gu Jinglian examined him carefully, from his eyebrows to his little nose and his exquisite facial features. He scrutinised every detail.
He could not help but reach out his hand. However, before he could touch him, his sudden action startled the little boy. From the corner of his eye, Baby Chu spotted him extending his hand out all of a sudden. Thinking that this bad uncle was going to beat him up, he was so frightened that he immediately clutched his head and squatted on the ground. Then, he burst into tears.
“Don’t hit me…!”
“…” Gu Jinglian’s lips twitched.
Who’s going to hit him?
How did this brat become so timid?!
When he was roaming in the wilderness alone for so long, I didn’t even see him cry. He’s even so bold as to climb into my car. Why did he become so timid now? I only stretched out my hand, but that already scared his wits out!
Butler Fu wanted to laugh, but his heart ached.
It was probably because of the harsh words Gu Jinglian uttered that night that caused the little boy to feel terrified. Hence, when standing in front of Gu Jinglian, it was inevitable for Baby Chu to feel wary and jittery.
“Baby Chu, be good. The uncle isn’t going to hit you!”
Baby Chu looked up with a few teardrops rolling down his cheeks. He saw Gu Jinglian staring at him coldly, as if he really didn’t have any intention to hit him. Gu Jinglian also didn’t seem as fierce as he remembered him to be. Only then did he stand up, his body and shoulders still trembling.
“Uncle, you agreed not to hit me!” The little boy said while sobbing.
Gu Jinglian took a deep breath before calming himself down. He deliberately softened his tone and coaxed calmly, “Come here! Let me take a good look at you!”
“Mmm…”
Baby Chu was still a little unwilling. When Butler Fu saw this, he gently pushed him from behind. Only then did Baby Chu walk towards Gu Jinglian, still pouting. He raised his head but did not dare to look into Gu Jinglian’s eyes.
For some reason, the uncle’s gaze looks like he’s going to eat me up!
