Mrs Chu’s eyes widened slightly. She looked at the sleepy Chu An and then at the room behind Chu An. She confirmed that it was the room she had prepared for Gu Xiao yesterday and not Chu An’s bedroom.

“Why are you in Xiaoxiao’s room?” Mrs Chu asked questioningly.

Chu An reached out and ruffled his hair that hadn’t been combed yet, making it even more messy.

“I want to sleep with Xiaoxiao. Naturally, I was in Xiaoxiao’s room.”

Mrs Chu was suspicious of Chu An’s words. She looked at Chu An inquisitively.

“Is Xiaoxiao really willing to sleep with you?”

Didn’t they say that Xiaoxiao was bullied by Xiao An and was unwilling to return to the residence she had bought for the two of them? Recently, Gu Xiao had only moved back to the apartment she had bought to reward Xiao An.

Or was this news fake?

Chu An looked at Mrs Chu in confusion. “Why isn’t Xiaoxiao willing to sleep with me?” If Xiaoxiao didn’t sleep with him, so who else could she sleep with?

Mrs Chu looked at Chu An and didn’t say anything for a moment. Chu An also stood quietly on the spot, wanting to see what else Mrs Chu could say.

Just as the two of them were in a deadlock, Gu Xiao’s door opened again.

Gu Xiao, who had already washed up, walked out.

She first glanced at Chu An and asked in confusion, “Why haven’t you returned to your room to wash up?”

Then, she saw Mrs Chu standing opposite Chu An.

She smiled and nodded at Mrs Chu. “Auntie, good morning.”

Facing Gu Xiao’s sweet smile, how could Mrs Chu still remember Chu An? She immediately let go of Chu An and took a few steps to Gu Xiao’s side, holding her hand.

“It’s like this. I’m here to call you for breakfast. Breakfast is ready. We’re just waiting for you.”

Hearing Mrs Chu’s words, Gu Xiao instantly became a little anxious. She looked at Mrs Chu nervously. “Did we wake up late?”

This kind of thing was rather rude no matter where it was. Gu Xiao did not want her relationship with Mrs Chu yesterday to return to the unfamiliar state from before because of this.

Mrs Chu instantly understood Gu Xiao’s thoughts.

She stretched out a hand and waved it. There was a smile in her eyes, and she did not look angry at all.

“I spoke wrongly. Xiao Zi and his wife haven’t woken up yet! Only Xiao An’s father and I have woken up. We’re old and don’t sleep much, so we woke up a little early. Don’t you think it’s too early, Xiaoxiao?”

Gu Xiao met Mrs Chu’s gentle eyes and paused for a moment before smiling.

“Auntie, what are you saying? Auntie is not old. You look like you’re in your early thirties. That’s not old no matter what.”

Hearing Gu Xiao’s words, the smile in Mrs Chu’s eyes became even more obvious. Even the tiny lines at the corners of her eyes expressed their master’s joy.

Mrs Chu patted Gu Xiao’s arm and covered her mouth as she laughed.

“Why is Xiaoxiao so good at talking? You are not like Xiao An at all. If Xiao An is half as good as you, I’ll really be very happy.”

Mrs Chu ridiculed Chu An right in front of the person himself, completely disregarding Chu An’s thoughts.

However, Chu An wouldn’t be unhappy over such a small matter. After all, Mrs Chu was right. Other than Gu Xiao, he really didn’t know how to coax people.

“Alright, alright, let’s not care about them anymore. Let’s go down and eat first! It’s better to eat breakfast early.”

Mrs Chu did not wait for Gu Xiao to speak and continued talking on her own. She held Gu Xiao’s arm and planned to bring her to the first floor.

As for Chu An, who was at the side, she had completely thrown him to the back of her mind. She didn’t even think of asking him.

Gu Xiao could not refute Mrs Chu, so she could only let her pull her downstairs.

She turned around and glanced at Chu An, who was still standing on the spot. Seeing Chu An nod, she then focused all her attention on Mrs Chu.

Looking at the back view of Mrs Chu and Gu Xiao getting along quickly, a trace of joy flashed across Chu An’s heart. He also turned around and walked towards his bedroom.

He could not miss the opportunity to eat with Gu Xiao. Even if there was such an opportunity every day, he was still unwilling to give it up.

When Gu Xiao and Mrs Chu arrived at the first floor, they indeed found Mr Chu already sitting at the dining table.

When Mr Chu heard the commotion, he looked up and saw Gu Xiao and Mrs Chu. He said to the servant beside him, “Serve the dishes.”

The servant replied, “Yes.” Then, she turned around and walked towards the kitchen..
