When Gu Zhihan walked in, he saw her drooling.
He couldn't help but be annoyed.
So sloppy!
Both were one year old, yet he had long since stopped drooling, but she was still drooling!
"Gu Zhihan, hurry to your wife and grab objects with her for the 'Zhou' tradition," said Mother Gu as she picked him up from the ground and tossed him onto the bed where Mengmeng was.
"She... is... not... my wife!"
Gu Zhihan stood tall and proud, and although he barely spoke, his handsome face was filled with disdain.
Especially when he got in front of Mengmeng, he didn't even glance at her, displaying a cold aloofness beyond his years.
However, Luo Mengmeng blinked her eyes and turned her head to look at him.
The little boy had a face carved like jade, which glistened in the morning light. His nose was high, and his deep, vast eyes were more beautiful than the starry summer night sky, especially today on his birthday. Mother Gu had dressed him in a little suit, making him look even more dashing and charming, just like a little gentleman.
Wow.
Mengmeng's watery eyes immediately brightened up, as if shooting stars had fallen into them.
Having not seen her husband for several days, he had become even more handsome!
She really wanted to take a bite!
As Mengmeng thought this, more drool began to flow from the corners of her mouth, dampening the bib tied around her neck.
"..."
Gu Zhihan's look of disdain became even stronger. He reached for the nearest book, hoping to quickly finish the 'Zhou' and leave the Luo family's house as soon as possible.
"Mengmeng, don't just stand there. Grab an object for the 'Zhou,' your husband is already grabbing," seeing that she kept staring dreamily at Gu Zhihan, Luo's parents urged her.
Mhm Mhm!
Luo Mengmeng nodded her little head and then unsteadily stood up...
Just when everyone was wondering what she would grab, this little one didn't even glance at the objects around her. Instead, she grabbed Gu Zhihan beside her, wrapping her little arms tightly around the boy's neck.
"What... are... you... doing!" Gu Zhihan frowned abruptly as the milky-scented little one burrowed into his arms. He tried to push her away displeasedly, "For the 'Zhou', don't... grab... me!"
"Hmm..." I'm grabbing you! You are the 'Zhou' I'm going to grab today!
Luo Meng chirped softly, unwilling to let go of him. Moreover, she boldly pushed him onto the soft bed, and with her two little legs, she bravely and firmly sat astride his waist, making it clear that today she would only accept Gu Zhihan as her "Zhou"!
"This..." Seeing this scene, the parents were somewhat flabbergasted.
That was quite bold!
Mother Luo was even more embarrassed as she brushed at the nonexistent mark on her forehead and weakly asked, "So, the 'Zhou' that Mengmeng grabbed today is Hanhan?"
"Yes, yes!" Mother Gu immediately nodded in agreement.
"What does this signify?" Mother Luo continued to ask.
Others grab books and calculators, which might signify a future as scholars, writers, or accountants, but her Mengmeng had grabbed a living person instead...
"Isn't that obvious? It surely signifies that in the future, Mengmeng will definitely marry our Hanhan!" Mother Gu clapped her hands and stated confidently, almost ready to pick up a megaphone and announce it outside.
With the child betrothal as a guarantee and now the 'Zhou' signifying it, it seemed that her daughter-in-law was secured!
Mother Gu did not yet know that her daughter-in-law was not just unable to escape; she was eager to come forward herself.
Because...
