Chapter 401: Penalty
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Chu An was already very used to this kind of situation and didn’t show any signs of irritation at all.
Of course, more importantly, Chu An knew that even if he was frustrated now, it couldn’t change the fact that there was a traffic jam.
As Chu An paid attention to the surrounding situation, he thought of the agreement Mrs Chu had said to Gu Xiao when they had just left the Chu residence. He was still very curious about the agreement Mrs Chu had mentioned.
After Chu An was forced to stop the car again, he pulled up the handbrake and turned to look at Gu Xiao.
“Xiaoxiao, what was the agreement you were just talking about with Mom? Can I know?”
Gu Xiao was originally paying attention to the car in front of them when she suddenly heard Chu An’s words. When she thought of the photos Mrs Chu had shown her, her eyes flashed, and she didn’t dare to look Chu An in the eye.
“I already said that it was an agreement. Of course, 1 can’t tell you.” Gu Xiao pretended to be calm.
Seeing Gu Xiao’s reaction, Chu An increasingly felt that something was amiss.
He raised his eyebrows and rubbed the steering wheel with his index finger. His gaze landed on Gu Xiao and did not leave.
Gu Xiao’s scalp went numb from Chu An’s gaze, but in order to protect her future benefits, she still chose not to say anything.
The two of them were in a deadlock for a while, and the atmosphere in the car began to turn cold.
“Alright, the car in front is starting to move. Let’s go too!”
When Gu Xiao saw that the car in front of them was starting to move slowly, she hurriedly said to Chu An, hoping that he would focus on driving and not continue to dwell on her agreement with Mrs Chu.
Seeing Gu Xiao’s avoidance, Chu An knew that there was probably something fishy about this agreement.
Otherwise, Gu Xiao would not be like this.contemporary romance
Chu An chuckled and turned around. Following Gu Xiao’s instructions, he focused his attention on the car in front of them. He put down the handbrake, and the car began to move at turtle speed again.
It was fine if Gu Xiao was unwilling to say it now. Coincidentally, he could use this reason to “punish” Gu Xiao for hiding it.
With this thought in mind, Chu An didn’t care about the agreement between Gu Xiao and Mrs Chu at all. He only looked forward to the punishment that Gu Xiao might receive tonight.
Gu Xiao, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, suddenly shivered. She felt like she was being targeted.
She turned her head slightly and looked at Chu An, who had a smile on his face, and had an even worse premonition.
However, she had just rejected Chu An’s questioning. She didn’t dare to provoke Chu An now, so she could only pretend that she hadn’t seen anything and turn around. Out of sight, out of mind.
When the two of them arrived at the parking lot of their apartment outside the school and were about to go upstairs to go home, they realized that “agreement” and “punishment” were not things they should be thinking about now.
The two of them stood beside the car and stared blankly at the trunk and the things in the backseat.
After a while, the two of them came back to their senses and looked at each other. Gu Xiao took the initiative to ask, “What should we do with these things?”
Previously, when Mrs Chu was packing things, they did not think much of it. However, now that they had to move these things upstairs, they immediately felt that it was a huge effort.
Only then did the two of them remember that when Mrs Chu was packing things previously, there were two servants helping her. Moreover, the two servants even went in and out a few times before the car was filled.
Chu An held his forehead powerlessly and leaned against the car without moving.
“We’ll do it slowly,” Chu An said after a few seconds.
The two of them looked at each other and sighed deeply again. They resigned themselves to fate and picked up the things in the back of the car. Only when they could not hold any more with both hands did the two of them stop.
Chu An closed the car door with difficulty and took the elevator to their unit with Gu Xiao.
When the two of them entered the unit with difficulty, they could not wait to put down the things. They did not care whether the floor was clean and flopped onto the floor.
Gu Xiao and Chu An sat on the ground and rested for a while. Looking at each other’s sorry states, they suddenly laughed, and there was a hint of joy in their voices.
It seemed like they had not experienced such a thing for a long time. Although they were tired, they felt pretty good and were really a little happy.
After resting for a while, Chu An stood up. “Xiaoxiao, stay here. 1’11 carry the rest alone.”
Hearing Chu An’s words, Gu Xiao stood up in disagreement. “Let’s go together.”
The two of them had only just brought up the things in the backseat. Mrs Chu had prepared even more things in the trunk. If Chu An were to do it alone, he would probably not be able to bring them up without three or four trips.
She didn’t want to see Chu An so tired..
