âUncle, what is thisâ¦â This pair of shoes clearly wasnât purchased.
âItâs the glass slippers I prepared for you!â
Jian Dan felt her eyes moisten in an instant. Uncle had actually made a pair of shoes for her by hand. Looking at each crystal carefully attached, she knew Uncle must have put a lot of thought and time into making them.
Thinking of Uncle clumsily but earnestly attaching the crystals, the corners of Jian Danâs mouth curled up unconsciously.
Seeing Jian Danâs eyes begin to redden, Chu Liyuan softly spoke, âJian Jian, I did all this to make you happy, not to make you cry.â
Jian Danâs face broke into a big smile, and she threw her arms around Chu Liyuanâs neck.
Even with everyone prepared for it, they still fed them a hefty dose of public display of affection.
âLittle sister-in-law, are you trying to torture us single folks to death?â Sizhe said, looking at the two of them sheepishly.
âThatâs right! We have to make you guys hurry up and find your other halves!
Then itâll be Uncleâs and my turn to be fed dog food!â
âPssh, who can compete with the amount of dog food you guys dish out? Canât compare, wouldnât dare to!â Sizhe said self-mockingly.
âYouâre exaggerating, arenât you?â
âJian, weâre already sour enough, letâs not go on with the Versailles literature, okay?â Qin Rou slowly spoke up.
âIâll try my best!â
While Jian Dan was speaking, Chu Liyuan kept gazing at her with adoring eyes.
Seeing Jian Jianâs smile, he felt incredibly at peace!
For the rest of his life, he wanted to give her all the happiness in the world, so she could smile like this every day.
âYouâve messed up the whole process; now letâs move on to the next challenge!â Qin Rou, true to her dual major in public relations and management, managed to get the process back on track even in such a situation.
Upon Qin Rouâs reminder, the girls remembered their mission for the day.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âRight, right!â
âWhat is it?â Chu Liyuanâs gaze still fixed on Jian Dan, his mouth moved slightly.
âThe next thing is to show off your boyfriend power!â Yuanyuan blurted out before anyone else.
âNo, itâs husband power!â Mo Mo corrected her.
âExactly, husband power is correct!â Yuanyuan scratched his head.
âWhat does that mean?â All the men present showed confused faces.
âThe trending dad-style hug, of course!â Xiaoting said excitedly.
This was the part sheâd been looking forward to most.
The men still wore puzzled expressions.
This really was the segment that exposed oneâs age!
âIt means to hug Jian like one would hug a baby!â Xiaoting was getting impatient.
âCome here~â Chu Liyuan said to Jian Dan, beckoning her over slowly.
Jian Dan, with her head lowered, shyly took small steps toward him, but before Jian Dan could reach Chu Liyuan, he had already swiftly moved toward her, picking her up with one arm effortlessly.
Taken by surprise, Jian Dan let out an involuntary âAh~â and tightly wrapped her arms around Uncleâs neck.
The moment Chu Liyuan lifted Jian Dan into his arms, the girls erupted in cheers.
Witnessing the glow in the girlâs eyes, the boys looked on, still not understanding.
âIs it because Iâm older? Why canât I get it?â Shang said slowly, observing the scene before him.
To Shang, such an action was as easy as pie. The intensity of his regular training was at least a hundred times tougher than this!
âIt just shows that you clueless men simply donât understand romance!â Mo Mo said with a hint of disdain.
Shang was already wary of Mo Mo, so upon hearing her comment, he wisely kept his mouth shut. This was one woman he definitely didnât want to mess with!
Watching Chu Liyuan hold Jian Dan as if he didnât want to let go, Xia Mengjiao teased, âMr. Chu, canât bear to put Jian down?â
âNo need to put her down. Arenât I supposed to carry her downstairs next?â Chu Liyuan said, looking up at Jian Dan still in his arms.
âUncle, will it take a long time?â Jian Dan was worried Uncle would get tired.
âA lifetime wouldnât be too long!â
As soon as Chu Liyuan spoke, everyone turned into green-eyed monsters.
âReally didnât see that coming. Usually so decisive and fearsome, Chu Liyuan can actually utter such mushy words? My skinâs crawling here.â Mo Mo really dared to say anything!
But Chu Liyuan didnât respond; all his attention was focused on Jian Jianâ¦
