This was a group of pregnant women that, because of some trivial matters of life, became like a group of resentful women.

“Isn’t there a gathering soon? We can meet Chu He’s husband then. I want to see what the big deal is!”

Chu He didn’t know that a few pregnant women had formed a small group and were gossiping about her. By the time Gu Jinglian came home, she was sitting on the sofa, learning from Madam Qin how to knit a scarf.

The weather was turning cold.

She thought that since she was pregnant and did not have much to do, and given everyone in the household had taken such good care of her, she wanted to learn how to knit. It was easy to knit scarves, so she planned to knit scarves for Gu Jinglian, Baby Chu, and Linxi. It would be good practice. Thus, she asked Madam Qin for advice on this handicraft.

Madam Qin naturally taught her everything without reservation. By the time Gu Jinglian came home, Chu He was sitting on the sofa knitting a scarf. She had already cast the stitches and had knitted several rows. The man was stunned. He could not associate such a domesticated task of knitting a scarf with Chu He.

“What are you doing?”

Chu He looked up when she heard him. She was so focused on the knitting that she hadn’t realized he was home.

“You’re home!” Chu He smiled. “It’s getting cold. I want to knit a scarf for you, Baby Chu and Linxi.”

Gu Jinglian did not have the habit of wearing a scarf. Usually, he would get into the car the moment he stepped out of the door. No matter where he went, the heater would be turned on and he had no use for a scarf. However, if it was knitted by her, it would be a different story.

Gu Jinglian was inexplicably happy although he appeared nonchalant. He casually picked up the ball of yarn and asked, “Do you know how to knit?”

“Madam Qin taught me. It’s not difficult and the pattern is simple, I’ve already mastered it.”

“Oh.” Gu Jinglian tried to look calm and said casually, “You can continue later! Let’s go downstairs for dinner first!” After saying this, he turned around expressionlessly. As he did so, a smug and satisfied smile appeared on his lips. He was unable to keep himself from smiling.

On his way down, Butler Fu happened to be going upstairs. He saw Gu Jinglian walking down the stairs with a smile on his face as if he had seen a ghost. Noticing Butler Fu’s wide-eyed expression, Gu Jinglian immediately stopped smiling and returned to his usual cold expression.

“What’s that wide-eyed look about!?”

“Old Master… you seem rather happy about something today?” the butler asked tentatively.

“Why are you asking this!?”

“Look at you, you’re grinning so widely!”

Gu Jinglian frowned slightly and subconsciously rubbed the corner of his lips with his hand. Realizing the unmistakable mockery in Butler Fu’s expression, he replied angrily, “Your eyesight is failing!” Having said that, Gu Jinglian ignored the butler and continued down the stairs solemnly.

Butler Fu covered his mouth and chuckled. The old master had always had this awkwardness!

When Butler Fu walked into the room and saw Chu He putting the scarf aside, he was surprised. “You’re knitting a scarf?”

“Uh huh!”

Madam Qin smiled. “This is for Old Master. Chu He picked a dark gray shade. She is smart and learns everything quickly! I only have to teach her once and she has already gotten the hang of it!”

Butler Fu laughed when he heard this! No wonder the old master looked so pleased on his way down! He must have been feeling happy that Chu He was knitting a scarf for him?!
