“The one I want to marry is the present you. "Your past has nothing to do with me,” Gaus answered, as expected, in a strong tone.
Rose’s expression cooled, “But to me, my past is also part of me. I can’t just cut it off to marry you. Mr Gaus, we are going in different directions. I honestly suggest that you take back your crazy idea. ”
A heavy silence followed.
Rose thought Gaus would get angry again after being rejected.
But Gaus spoke calmly, “Understood. ”
Rose’s tight nerves finally eased, “Then I’m going to sleep. Good night. ”
“Good night. ”
The man looked at that weak back, his gaze as deep as the ocean. The only thing that stayed the same was the heat from the bottom of the sea.
Rose was woken up by the sound of a man’s low voice coming from the living room the next morning.
Gaus put down his phone when he heard footsteps behind him.
He smiled and asked, “Did I wake you up? ”
Rose looked at the man in front of her, her eyes wide with surprise.
Gaus wasn’t wearing a shirt.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw bare skin, and it was too much to take in.
She rubbed her nose, glad she hadn’t done anything foolish.
Gaus didn’t seem to notice her strange expression.
Instead, he calmly picked up his shirt from the sofa and began to put it on. He said while buttoning up, “There’s an emergency at work, I need to leave now. Could you wake up Little Treasure for me? ”
“Oh, sure!
” Rose nodded and hurried to call for Little Treasure.
In the end, she didn’t have to call.
As soon as she turned around, she saw a soft, moe, and incredibly cute Pikachu staring right at his dad, Gaus, without blinking. His face clearly showed he was unhappy.
“Little Treasure, go get dressed,” Gaus said as he put on his coat.
The response was a loud “Bang!
” as the bedroom door shut quickly.
Gaus was completely unfazed.
Gaus: “……”
Rose: “……”
Gaus tried the door but found it locked from the inside.
He looked at Rose, “Do you have the key?
”
Rose awkwardly shook her head, “I do, but it’s inside the room.
”
Gaus pinched his brow and spoke in a cold voice, “Lu Qingyu, you have three minutes.
If you don’t come out by then, you won’t be coming back here again. ”
After three minutes, there was no sound from inside.
“Tressure, come out!
If you’re expecting me to force you out, then I won’t be so easy on you! ”
Still nothing.
A certain little bun wasn’t giving his father one bit of dignity.
Rose watched from the side and fought the urge to laugh, “I can go to work later, why don’t Little Treasure stay here for a while longer?
”
Gaus’s face turned dark as he pulled out his phone and began to call someone.
Rose took a peek and saw he was calling a psychiatrist.
She was stunned. Was he really calling a psychiatrist over something so small? Wasn’t it making a mountain out of a molehill?
Rose coughed lightly and suggested, “Why don’t you let me try?
”
Gaus hesitated a moment, then nodded.
Rose leaned on the door and used a gentle tone, “Little Treasure, Auntie has to go to work later.
I can’t take care of you. Could you go home with Daddy first? ”
Still no response from inside.
How about this: Let’s exchange phone numbers so we can contact each other whenever we want.
We can even video call! ”
A shaky sound came from inside.
“The director will scold me if auntie is late.
"Our director is really strict, auntie is so pitiful wuuuuuu……”
The door opened.
Gaus had been ready for a long battle.
His eyes briefly showed surprise. He looked at the woman beside him with a complex expression.
She had managed to get Little Treasure to come out quietly with just a few words.
The last time this happened, Little Treasure had locked himself in the attic at home.
Their whole family, the butlers, maids, even the psychiatrist and a negotiation expert, had all been involved. They finally had to break the door down after talking all day. The result was the little guy ignoring them for an entire month.
Rose was unaware of this incident.
She just thought the child was very obedient. She picked up the little bun. He had been miserable but still came out because he didn’t want to see her get scolded. She praised, “Little Treasure is so obedient, thank you darling! ”
The praised little bun looked a little happier.
He quietly handed her a piece of paper with a string of numbers on it.
Rose received the note, “Eh?
Is this your phone number? Great, I’ll save it. I’ll definitely call you when I have time! ”
Gaus thought something was off.
Little Treasure didn’t have a phone, so where did he get that number?
He looked over, using his height advantage, and saw it was his own phone number.
Not bad, as expected of his son! Rose was woken up by the sound of a man’s low voice coming from the living room the next morning.
Gaus put down his phone when he heard footsteps behind him.
He smiled and asked, “Did I wake you up? ”
Rose looked at the man in front of her, her eyes wide with surprise.
Gaus wasn’t wearing a shirt.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw bare skin, and it was too much to take in.
