163 Jiang Danheâs Gift
âHe went to see Father.â
Xiaoguo nodded in acknowledgment.
After informing Xiaoguo, Zhuang Zhuang left. Xiaoyi was still crying. Since he was leaving tomorrow, he had to say goodbye to his friend.
Xiaoguo watched Zhuang Zhuang leave and felt a little lost. They are leaving tomorrowâ¦
â
âXiaoguoâ¦â
Jiang Danheâs voice interrupted Xiaoguoâs packing.
âYes?â
Xiaoguo looked back at Jiang Danhe.
There was reluctance in Jiang Danheâs eyes. It looked like Xiaoguo had found out. âCounty Magistrate Liu came over todayâ¦â
Xiaoguo nodded when she heard him and waited for him to continue. But he didnât speak again for a long time.
âCounty Magistrate Liu was here to inform us to return tomorrow.â
Seeing that he wasnât going to say anything, Xiaoguo spoke first.
Jiang Danhe nodded.
âThatâs fine actually. I think itâs been too long. My brother should be quite worried at home. Hahaâ¦â
Xiaoguo felt that the atmosphere was a little gloomy at the moment, so she deliberately spoke in a relaxed tone, hoping to dispel some of the gloominess.
Jiang Danhe understood Xiaoguoâs intentions, so he put aside his emotions and said, âIâll help you pack up.â
Neither of them wanted to spend the rest of the day moping.
Even if today was the last day for the time being, then it should be one that was filled with good memories and joy.
Xiaoguo nodded and continued to pack. In fact, there werenât too many things to pack. She and Zhuang Zhuangâs clothes could be packed into a single bag. She just had to gather the gifts that she had bought.
After Xiaoguo was done checking that she had left nothing behind, she placed all the items together with her baggage.
When everything was in order, Xiaoguo did a final check again.
She looked around the room and saw that everything had been tidied up.
Then, she noticed that the person who had offered his help earlier, was fiddling with something in front of the closet.
Xiaoguo snorted. âHe had offered to help her, but instead, he was busy doing something else.â
With those thoughts, Xiaoguo quietly tiptoed towards him.
Jiang Danhe was carefully sorting out the gifts he had bought for Xiaoguo and Zhuang Zhaung, so he did not hear Xiaoguo approaching.
Xiaoguo was right behind Jiang Danhe, but he still did not notice her. He was focused on what he had in his hands.
Xiaoguo was furious, so she extended her neck to see what he was so preoccupied with,
After trying for a long time, she couldnât see anything. It was mainly because Jiang Danhe was too tall and the closet wasnât wide enough for her to take a peek. The man was completely blocking her view.
Xiaoguoâs toes were sore from standing on tiptoe for so long, but all she could see was a patch of pink cloth.
âWhat was this?â Xiaoguo put down her foot. âDid Jiang Danhe have a fetish for pink?â
âHuhâ¦â. The more she thought about it, the more terrified she felt.
âHey!â
Xiaoguo patted Jiang Danhe on the shoulder. She had been standing behind him for a long time, but he still did not notice her. He just kept fiddling with the things in his hands. What was he trying to take? She couldnât take it anymore.
Jiang Danhe was shocked. He turned around and smiled when he saw that it was Xiaoguo.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âHey, youâre asking me whatâs wrong? Werenât you going to help me pack? Iâm already done packing. What exactly are you doing?â
Xiaoguoâs hair stood on end when she heard him ask her what was wrong. She should be the one asking him since he had offered to help her pack up. However, he had completely ignored her and only kept fiddling with his own stuff.
âOh⦠Do you think Iâm ignoring you?â Jiang Danhe smiled teasingly and threw down the things in his hand. âAlright, Iâll pay attention to you now. What do you want me to do?â
As he spoke, he moved closer to Xiaoguo.
âStop dreaming, you.â
Feeling amused, Xiaoguo pushed Jiang Danhe away. This person was really good at changing subjects. She wasnât complaining about him ignoring her. Seriouslyâ¦
âReally?â
Jiang Danhe looked at Xiaoguo in disbelief. The look on her face was saying otherwise.
âDo you still want to be pinched?â
Seeing that Jiang Danhe was getting closer, Xiaoguo spoke in a threatening voice.
Jiang Danhe paused for a moment, but it was not because he was afraid that Xiaoguo would pinch him. To be honest, Xiaoguoâs pinching feels more like tickling. To him, it could be considered as intimate contact.
He stopped because he had a lot of things that he had not sorted out for her. They were the gifts that he had bought for her and Zhuang Zhuang some time ago.
Jiang Danhe took her hand and led her to sit on the bed. Then, he turned around and took out everything from the cupboard and placed them on the bed. âThese are the things I bought for you previously. However, I thought that our child was a daughter, so I bought all these hair ornaments and fabrics.â
After saying that, Jiang Danhe felt a little embarrassed. This was because the hair ornaments he had bought were all cute little accessories. Imagine a grown burly man like him going out to buy such cute accessories, he was worried about what Xiaoguo would think.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOf course not. This is super cool, okay!â
Although Jiang Danhe didnât understand what âCoolâ meant, he guessed that it was a compliment. He couldnât help but feel happy. âSince she praised me, Iâll buy more in the future. Iâll continue to be cool!â
After saying those words, Xiaoguo did not take another look at him. Naturally, she did not see the dreamy look on his face.
Xiaoguo turned to look at the colorful ornaments that were almost covering the entire bed. She could barely close her mouth. How much had he spentâ¦
She flipped through the items curiously. There were a lot of hair ties. She also saw a lot of folded fabrics. Most of them were pink. There were also some fabrics in pastel yellows and greens. He had also bought a lot of ready-made clothes. Although the clothes were small, the workmanship was exquisite.
âAre these all for Zhuang Zhuang?â
Xiaoguo didnât know whether to laugh or cry. How long did it take for him to buy so much clothes and jewelry?
Jiang Danhe felt a little embarrassed when he heard her question. He nodded and said, âWhenever I had time, I would buy some. Unknowingly, I ended up with this whole pile.â
Xiaoguo arranged the items individually and placed the hair ornaments together. âThere are so many of them. We canât possibly return them either. But Zhuang Zhuang wouldnât be able to wear these at all.â
Xiaoguo felt that it was a pity. All these items definitely cost a lot of money. She had touched the cloth and garments earlier and they were definitely high-quality stuff. But there was nothing she could do about it. Zhuang Zhuang was a boy and could not wear these. At this moment, Xiaoguo was wishing that her son was a little girl instead.
âItâs fine,â Jiang Danhe said as he watched Xiaoguoâs expression. âWeâll leave it for our girl if we have one.â
For a moment, Xiaoguo couldnât wrap her head around what she was hearing. She thought that he literally meant a girl. âOkay. Letâs give it to the girl.â
Jiang Danhe was overjoyed when he heard this. It seemed that there was hope for him to have a daughter. He had to work out more and go home to make a baby girl after the New Year!
Xiaoguo glanced at Jiang Danhe, who suddenly seemed invigorated. She was a little confused. She didnât know what he was thinking about.
âWho cares?â
Xiaoguo turned around and continued to pack up the accessories on the bed. She was a little worried about where these things would go. From the looks of it, Jiang Danhe was definitely expecting her to take them with her. But how was she going to bring them back? It is going to be a huge bundle when everything is wrapped up.
Xiaoguo was holding a light yellow dress in her hand. She lifted it up and looked at it. It was really super cute and tiny.
At this moment, Xiaoguo was feeling a little depressed. Looking at these clothes, she really wished to put them on a little girl. But she only had one brat. She couldnât possibly dress him up.
âAye? Who says I canât?â
Xiaoguo suddenly thought of something. These dresses could be worn by Zhuang Zhuang. Although he couldnât wear them out, at least he could satisfy her little fetish.
