Gu Chen gave a big smile, 'What's the point of spending money? It's only right to buy your wife shoes!'
His smile was confident and warm, with a high and straight nose bridge.
His pair of deep, dark eyes were clear and clean.
Just one look, and it's as if even the soul is drowning.
You have to admit that Gu Chen is really good-looking.
Ji Pianran looked at her, and her heart beat a little faster.
Gu Chen saw that she wasn't moving, so she reached out and waved her hand in front of her face.
'Don't just stand there, they don't fit. You have to take them back to the city tomorrow to exchange them. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, the last day of the year, and the shopping malls in the city will probably be closed on New Year's Day.'
These shoes are a blind guess at the size, and Gu Chen really didn't know if they were accurate or not.
If they don't fit, then she'll have to exchange them.
Ji Bianran blinked, and hastily let out an 'oh'.
She then sat on the small stool, took off the cotton shoes on her feet, and started trying on the new shoes.
She had to say that Gu Chen really had good taste; the shoes were beautiful, made of grey cowhide, and looked high-end and textured.
Ji Pianran was stunned the moment she put the shoes on.
They were just the right size!
She blinked, her eyes like ink-black jade, filled with disbelief.
How did Gu Chen know her shoe size?
How did he know?
He never asked!
'Mom, the shoes are so pretty!'
The little girl looked at the shoes on Ji Pianran's feet and couldn't help exclaiming.
Her mom was definitely the most beautiful mom in the world!
These shoes look even better on her feet!
Hearing Tang Tang's praise, Ji Pianran finally smiled with pursed lips.
She looked up at Gu Chen, 'How did you know my size?'
Gu Chen looked at Ji Pianran's feet, and it looked like they were the right size.
He laughed, and held out a hand, 'Everything is under control!'
He had touched Ji Pianran's feet last time, they were small and cute, and he had never forgotten them after just one glance!
Upon hearing this, Ji Pianran's face flushed red.
It was obvious that she had remembered the last time Gu Chen had massaged her feet.
'Boring!'
She turned her face away, trying to hide her embarrassment.
But Gu Chen clearly saw Ji Pianran smile from her profile.
She pursed her rosy lips and smiled like the spring breeze, gentle and beautiful.
Her long eyelashes trembled, and a warm light shone in her almond-shaped eyes.
Gu Chen's heart skipped a beat.
His daughter-in-law was just too beautiful.
Ji Pianran looked at the shoes on her feet, 'They're very nice, I like them.'
She looked at her lovely daughter and the smiling Gu Chen.
Her heart fluttered.
For the first time, a feeling called happiness welled up within her.
Gu Chen seemed to have remembered something.
'Right, the goji berries sold well today, earning more than 10,000 yuan. Here's 10,000 for you, and I'll keep the rest to buy something.'
After all, it's the New Year, and they're going to his family the day after tomorrow, right?
He needs to buy something for his parents and his brother and sister-in-law.
After saying that, he reached into the inside pocket of his shirt and took out the 10,000 yuan.
Gu Chen had been paying himself every day these days, and Ji Pyoran seemed to have become accustomed to this.
She reached out and took the ten thousand yuan, clasping it in the palm of her hand.
Looking at the thick stack of hundred-yuan bills, she thought about the days when she was so poor that she couldn't even afford formula milk.
She felt a great sense of security.
'Thank you, Gu Chen.'
However, Ji Pyoran still hadn't gotten rid of the habit of thanking Gu Chen.
But she sincerely thanked him.
She thanked him for not leaving this time, and for giving her hope for the future.
She thanked him for showing her what it was like to have someone who cared for her.
She was no longer alone.
Gu Chen pursed his lips. To be honest, every time he heard her thank him, he felt incredibly guilty.
The more sincere her thanks, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Gu Chen pursed his lips, 'Pianran, all of this is only right. Trust me, soon we will be able to live a good life! I will never leave you again.'
With this 10,000 yuan, he will be able to build an extension to the house and a greenhouse in the backyard.
That way, good times will truly come.
This time, Ji Pianran did not have the slightest doubt, and she nodded heavily.
At this moment, the little girl was extremely curious about her mother's shoes, and she squatted on the ground, stroking them with her small hands.
'Is this a gift from Dad to Mum?'
She seemed to be talking to herself.
Children are always like this, full of curiosity about everything.
Ji Bianran busily leaned down and took her daughter into her arms, smiling tenderly.
'Yes, it's a gift from Dad to Mum.'
Upon hearing this, the little girl's eyes widened.
It really was, her father had bought a gift for her mother!
Why didn't he have one for her!
No way!
Tantan was unhappy!
She pouted like she was about to cry.
'Daddy, do you not like Tantan anymore?'
Gu Chen: '???
He bought Ji Pianran shoes, why would he not like Tantan?
Why is a child's brain so strange?
'Daddy really, really likes Tantan,' he patiently explained.
Hearing that his father really, really likes her, the expression on her face eases a lot. 'Then why did mummy get a present and not me?'
Good boy, waiting for me here.
Gu Chen once again remembered the saying that daughters are their father's little lovers from a previous life.
Absolutely!
Tantan is actually jealous of her own mother, definitely a little lover!
He smiled and took out a small strawberry hair ribbon from his pocket and handed it to Tangtang. 'Who said there was no Tangtang? Daddy will never forget Tangtang.'
He had bought it when he went to the store to pay back the money. After all, it didn't seem right to not buy anything when he had to pay back the money.
So Gu Chen casually bought this hair ribbon.
Seeing the strawberry hair ribbon, Tangtang was overjoyed. She also had a gift.
She also had a gift!
The little girl tugged at Ji Pianran's clothes, 'Mommy, hurry and braid Sugar's hair. Sugar likes the little strawberries!'
Ji Pianran looked at her precious daughter, helpless and amused. She was only two years old, and she was already being vain?
She really didn't know who she took after.
Gu Chen calculated the time and felt that the meat should be ready, so it was time to eat.
'I'll go serve the rice. The meat should be ready.'
After saying that, he headed towards the kitchen.
'I'll help you!'
Ji Pianran said, before remembering that Tang Tang was waiting for him to braid her hair, so he had to smile apologetically at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen nodded, 'It's fine, I'll be right back.'
When the rice was ready, the family of three sat down at the small table as usual.
The smell of the braised pork filled the entire room.
Ji Pianran took his chopsticks and reached into the bowl of spare ribs to pick out a relatively tender piece, which he then placed in Gu Chen's bowl.
'Eat, you've had a long day.'
He had had a long day, so the first spare rib was naturally for him.
Gu Chen looked at the meat in the bowl and nodded excitedly.
'Mmm, you eat too, all of it, all of it!'
Ji Pianran picked another piece of meat for Tangtang, saying, 'Tangtang needs to eat more meat to grow up quickly.'
The little girl's eyes lit up when she saw the spare ribs, and without saying a word, she grabbed them with her hands and started eating.
Once the meat was in her stomach, the expression on her little meat face was one of sheer contentment.
It really was delicious.
Gu Chen picked a piece of spare rib for Ji Pianran, saying, 'You eat it too, eat more meat, grow up quickly.'
Ji Pianran: '????'
After a while, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. Does she really think of her as a child?
She's in her twenties, she's not growing anymore!
After dinner, Gu Chen collected the dishes as usual.
Ji Pianran was also busy. She lowered her head and wiped the corners of her mouth while she told her, 'Be a good girl, Tangtang, and play for a while by yourself. Mommy has to boil the water.'
