Chapter 163 - 163 Jiang Danhe's Gift

163 Jiang Danhe’s Gift

“He went to see Father.”

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 tomorrow…

–

“Xiaoguo…”

Jiang Danhe’s voice interrupted Xiaoguo’s packing.

“Yes?”

Xiaoguo looked back at Jiang Danhe.

There was reluctance in Jiang Danhe’s eyes. It looked like Xiaoguo had found out. “County Magistrate Liu came over today…”

Xiaoguo nodded when she heard him and waited for him to continue. But he didn’t speak again for a long time.

“County Magistrate Liu was here to inform us to return tomorrow.”

Seeing that he wasn’t going to say anything, Xiaoguo spoke first.

Jiang Danhe nodded.

“That’s fine actually. I think it’s been too long. My brother should be quite worried at home. Haha…”

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 Xiaoguo’s intentions, so he put aside his emotions and said, “I’ll help you pack up.”

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 weren’t too many things to pack. She and Zhuang Zhuang’s 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. “He had offered to help her, but instead, he was busy doing something else.”

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 couldn’t see anything. It was mainly because Jiang Danhe was too tall and the closet wasn’t wide enough for her to take a peek. The man was completely blocking her view.

Xiaoguo’s toes were sore from standing on tiptoe for so long, but all she could see was a patch of pink cloth.

“What was this?” Xiaoguo put down her foot. “Did Jiang Danhe have a fetish for pink?”

“Huh…”. The more she thought about it, the more terrified she felt.

“Hey!”

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 couldn’t take it anymore.

Jiang Danhe was shocked. He turned around and smiled when he saw that it was Xiaoguo.

“What’s wrong?”

“Hey, you’re asking me what’s wrong? Weren’t you going to help me pack? I’m already done packing. What exactly are you doing?”

Xiaoguo’s 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.

“Oh… Do you think I’m ignoring you?” Jiang Danhe smiled teasingly and threw down the things in his hand. “Alright, I’ll pay attention to you now. What do you want me to do?”

As he spoke, he moved closer to Xiaoguo.

“Stop dreaming, you.”

Feeling amused, Xiaoguo pushed Jiang Danhe away. This person was really good at changing subjects. She wasn’t complaining about him ignoring her. Seriously…

“Really?”

Jiang Danhe looked at Xiaoguo in disbelief. The look on her face was saying otherwise.

“Do you still want to be pinched?”

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, Xiaoguo’s 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. “These 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.”

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.

“Of course not. This is super cool, okay!”

Although Jiang Danhe didn’t understand what “Cool” meant, he guessed that it was a compliment. He couldn’t help but feel happy. “Since she praised me, I’ll buy more in the future. I’ll continue to be cool!”

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 spent…

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.

“Are these all for Zhuang Zhuang?”

Xiaoguo didn’t 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, “Whenever I had time, I would buy some. Unknowingly, I ended up with this whole pile.”

Xiaoguo arranged the items individually and placed the hair ornaments together. “There are so many of them. We can’t possibly return them either. But Zhuang Zhuang wouldn’t be able to wear these at all.”

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.

“It’s fine,” Jiang Danhe said as he watched Xiaoguo’s expression. “We’ll leave it for our girl if we have one.”

For a moment, Xiaoguo couldn’t wrap her head around what she was hearing. She thought that he literally meant a girl. “Okay. Let’s give it to the girl.”

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 didn’t know what he was thinking about.

“Who cares?”

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 couldn’t possibly dress him up.

“Aye? Who says I can’t?”

Xiaoguo suddenly thought of something. These dresses could be worn by Zhuang Zhuang. Although he couldn’t wear them out, at least he could satisfy her little fetish.
