Chapter 373: 373 Original Eleven is my stepmother oh! (2)_1
Her hair is naturally this color and curly. It’s the most natural and beautiful look that other women can’t even achieve if they tried.
"Shang Qianxun, this inappropriate hairstyle of yours, the school doesn’t allow it. You must have been scolded frequently, right?"
Eleven had gradually accepted his way of addressing her, and didn’t say anything anymore. As long as he was referring to her, she was okay with whatever name he used.
"Yes, they wouldn’t believe it’s natural. The teachers forced me to get my hair straightened. I didn’t have the money for it, and the school didn’t give me any either. The teachers were angry and wanted to call my parents, insisting that I must have not conveyed their message, wondering how my parents could not pay! Schools like ours have rules that must be followed! As they found out, I’m from an orphanage without any parents, they were startled, stunned, thinking I was pitiful and let it go."
Listening to her, Gu Liancheng was at a loss for words for a moment.
He was thinking, if he had met her back then, he could have helped her.
But it’s too late now. She’s grown up now.
"Mr. Gu, sitting like this is so tiring. Can I lie down?"
He patted his leg, indicating, "Go ahead."
So, Eleven turned to the side, and Gu Liancheng bent his leg, allowing her to lean against it more comfortably. He did not care if she decided to find the most comfortable position, nor if he was messing with her hair.
Sometimes, the warm breeze wasn’t comfortable when it blew into her eyes, and it made her feel sleepy. Eleven simply closed her eyes, and left her hair in his care.
Seeing how Mr. Gu had taken up the task himself, she realized it did save her the effort of hand drying her hair! If he wanted to do it, she would let him. Who knows, maybe he was preparing to do it more in the future, getting some practice in first?
In reality, if someone walked in and saw their interactions, they would definitely find it strange.
They seemed close, yet distant. Like a layer of flimsy gauze separated them, keeping everything unclear.
If he wasn’t Gu Liancheng, and she wasn’t Shang Qianxun, ignoring everything else, they were just an ordinary couple among millions. Tonight would have been a memorable yet ordinary and warm night.
With his attentive service, even when the hairdryer was switched off, Eleven still had no intention of getting up.
He poked her nose with no response.
She fell asleep.
...
"Mr. Gu is still sleeping! He really hasn’t woken up yet. You can’t go in."
Early in the morning, there were annoying sounds outside.
"Su Bai, who am I? Even I can’t go in?"
"Miss Shang, I am truly sorry, but without Mr. Gu’s permission, no one is allowed to enter."
In the future, she would still be called Miss Shang, and not Mrs.
If it were Eleven standing in front of him today, he would let her in without hesitation, because he knew that no matter how angry Mr. Gu got, it wouldn’t touch Eleven. She always had ways to pacify him, so there was nothing to fear.
As for this Miss Shang...
He had no confidence!
What cannot be done, cannot be done.
Shang Muxue felt mistreated by Su Bai keeping her at a distance, calling her "Miss Shang". But Gu Liancheng was inside, she certainly couldn’t throw a tantrum and ruin her image.
"Big White, is it also not allowed for me?" Gu Mengmeng tugged at his clothes, "Daddy had a car accident, I’m so sad."
Gu Mengmeng sniffled, looking like she was about to cry.
