Chapter 4603: Never Too Late to Love (10)4603 Never Too Late to Love (10)
At noon, Gu Chengze and Bai Sheng went to a restaurant for lunch.
They ate the simplest Chinese food, but the restaurant Gu Chengze chose was in the most inconspicuous corner of the street. It was not far from the marriage registration office. However, the food was really good.
Gu Chengze parked the car in the underground parking lot. He drove a Volkswagen. She was familiar with this brand of car, but this was the first time she had seen this model. The letters “Phaeton” were printed on the back.
In this city, the people who drove Volkswagen were mostly the working class and those who worked in small family businesses.
This man’s family background seemed very ordinary. This car looked very ordinary, but when she entered it, the luxurious interior caused Bai Sheng to be a little dumbfounded. The central control seemed to be made of mahogany.

“Where are we going?”
“To buy some gifts.”
“Gifts?”
“Uh huh.” Gu Chengze drove towards the shopping district.
To Bai Sheng, they were her uncle and aunt, but to Gu Chengze, they were his in-laws. It was his first time visiting his parents-in-law, so he naturally had to bring some gifts.
Gu Chengze went to the mall and first bought a pearl necklace for Ye Yuqin. Bai Sheng said that her aunt liked pearl necklaces, while her uncle, Jiang Muyuan, liked jade pipes.
The old man next door had a jade pipe stuck in his mouth every day, making Jiang Muyuan envious all the time.
Other than the gifts for their first meeting, Gu Chengze also bought cigarettes, alcohol, gelatin, and some women’s skin care products. In total, it cost nearly 10,000 yuan.
Bai Sheng felt a little uneasy. They had just taken their first meal together, and she had already asked Gu Chengze to spend so much money.
When they were paying for the items, Bai Sheng looked at the numbers on the cash register and her scalp went numb.
She looked guiltily at Gu Chengze’s back and said nervously, “I’ve made you spend too much money!”
Gu Chengze turned around. He was stunned for a moment before he smiled. “What do you mean by that? It’s my first time meeting my parents-in-law, so I have to mind my etiquette.”
Bai Sheng was secretly touched by his thoughtfulness and politeness.

Given that her aunt had brought her up, no matter how harsh the woman was to her, she was used to accepting it. She thought that as long as she married this man, she could finally distance herself from endless blind dates in the future! She admitted, choosing to be with him was like using him as a safe haven.
…
When they arrived at her home, Gu Chengze parked the car in front of the small estate. When he got out of the car, he looked at the dilapidated neighborhood that was obviously built in the last century and was a little surprised.
Was this where she lived?
“My home is in this building.” Bai Sheng shyly pointed to a building in front of her and said to him, “However, there is no elevator, we have to climb the stairs.”
“That’s fine!” Gu Chengze took the initiative to carry the gifts and said to her, “Let’s go upstairs!”
He followed her up the stairs. However, apart from being cluttered, the corners of the narrow corridor were covered in cobwebs. The walls, which had been white, were covered in dust. The handrail was covered in dust, and the air seemed a little turbid.
There were five families living in the building. The exhaust was directed to the corridor. At dinner time when all the families were cooking, the air was filled with oil and all sorts of aromas.
Bai Sheng was a little worried that Gu Chengze was not used to this, but when she turned around, she saw him looking around with a curious expression. He didn’t seem uncomfortable.
