Chapter 726 - 732: Why Aren’t You Married?
The first time, he held her so gently...
The feeling was like the whole world had melted.
The grievances and hardships of the past five years, what do they matter now?
This hug seems to have healed everything.
Sometimes, Chu Xiaoge really feels that she has no backbone.
As long as he treats her a bit better, it really feels like a tremendous blessing!
This unchangeable submissiveness...
And for Shang Dongyuan?
His personality is the kind that’s calm and unhurried; though he may not act as decisively and swiftly as Xing Chen, he still follows procedures without arrogance or impatience and completes his tasks diligently.
When it comes to girls, he also likes those who are gentle and obedient.
She can have her own career, but emotionally, she must rely on him.
Male dominance, every man has it, just in different aspects.
Just like the girl in his arms at this moment, quietly, without many words, her soft hands around his waist, breathing lightly, quiet and peaceful.
Indeed, very much to his taste.
No wonder he focused his attention on her.
Shang Dongyuan did not think much of it, considering he had felt empty these years and wanted to find a girl to care for, that’s all.
After all, people can indeed be quite frightening when they are bored.
Little did he know, Chu Xiaoge was so quiet at this moment because she was actually scared...
She didn’t want the driver to look at them with curiosity.
...
Upon reaching the destination, Chu Xiaoge found out that Shang Dongyuan had brought her to a high-end restaurant.
Shang Dongyuan walked in front, while Chu Xiaoge followed slightly behind, quietly observing the surroundings.
Chinese-style, ancient architecture, exuding a historical atmosphere everywhere, even the waiters, regardless of gender, were dressed in traditional Hanfu.
And each one was presentable, like in a TV drama, looking very high-end.
"Amazing..." Chu Xiaoge gasped and couldn’t help but praise.
As they walked, someone led them into a private dining room.
The room too had an ancient style, and everything for dining was set according to Han Dynasty customs, really broadening Chu Xiaoge’s horizons.
Feeling amused, when eating, she wasn’t so nervous and tasted a bit of everything, not much, just a sample.
When she was about seventy to eighty percent full, Shang Dongyuan began to speak.
With a nonsensical sentence that made Chu Xiaoge’s scalp tingle.
"Who is Chuchu’s father?"
"...Cough cough cough!" At that moment, Chu Xiaoge, being greedy, wanted to eat a piece of chicken and was choked on it, coughing incessantly.
She grabbed the tea cup on the table and gulped down several mouthfuls to calm down.
Her little face also blushed from coughing, looking much better in complexion.
Shang Dongyuan quietly watched her choking because of his words, inevitably furrowing his brow.
"Why didn’t you get married?"
With Shang Dongyuan pressing step by step, Chu Xiaoge knew she couldn’t avoid this topic.
She slammed the tea cup hard on the table and answered through gritted teeth, "Because he is a bastard!"
Wasn’t Shang Dongyuan a bastard five years ago?
Just like that... he took away her first time!
And he, surprisingly, didn’t remember her, how ridiculous.
Shang Dongyuan’s hand holding the tea cup suddenly paused.
He looked up to see Chu Xiaoge’s very complicated expression.
But even with those words, there was not the slightest hint of hatred in her eyes.
