Chapter 116 Orange-flavored Soda

As she spoke, she gently rubbed her nose against her little niece's delicate face. The little darling always had a faint milky scent, which smelled wonderful.

"It itches so much, Auntie~"

Helian Jiao giggled as she was rubbed against her; her sweet, childlike voice was as tender and melodious as a little bell.

When Gu Tingyun first heard her laugh like that, a look of realization dawned on his face. So that's why the little hamster was so ticklish.

After Chen Honghong had cuddled her little niece and doted on her enough, she realized that her mother, Ma Xiulian, was nowhere to be seen in the shop, so she asked, "Where's your grandma?"

Helian Jiao pointed to the big bad dragon standing next to her and said in a childish voice, "Grandma is at home. I came with Aunt Jiang and Gu Tingyun."

Gu Tingyun?

The little boy who gave his niece imported chocolates?

Chen Honghong immediately looked down and then secretly gasped.

Wow! This little boy is something else!

Not only was she strikingly beautiful, but she was also wearing a stylish little suit. Her husband had a suit too, the cheapest kind, but it still cost a full thirty yuan.

The material of this blazer looks more expensive than her man's!

She was wearing a pair of shiny black leather shoes, which must have cost at least several dollars.

This outfit alone costs more than their entire family's monthly salary. No wonder they were so generous in giving their little niece a bunch of expensive treats.

Immediately, I became a little worried and nervous. Could it be that my darling had come to town to play with other people without telling his family?

Just then, Gu Tingyun greeted her politely: "Hello, Auntie. Grandma Chen knows that my mother and I brought our baby to town. My mother is handling some business in the government hall across the street and will be here in a little while."

He was a bright and precocious child; at such a young age, he could already read some of the psychological thoughts on adults' faces.

Chen Honghong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, you're fine too. Are you thirsty? Your aunt will get you some soda."

These days, she doesn't have to worry about child abduction or theft, since she can barely support all the children in her own home.

Helian Jiao said with a smug look on her face, "I don't drink soda, give me two popsicles."

On a hot day, nothing beats the bliss of having a cool popsicle!

Seeing that her little niece had the same expression and tone as her mother, Chen Honghong smiled and shook her head, saying, "It will be a few days before we get the popsicles."

As soon as I finished speaking, my little niece wilted like a defeated rooster, so I quickly coaxed her, "The soda is in the freezer, and it's orange flavored."

Looking at the hamster with its head drooping, Gu Tingyun could imagine that if it had furry little ears, they would definitely be drooping down right now.

He had seen his cousin wear rabbit ears, but he didn't know if they sold mouse ears.

"Sigh, I'll just have a soda."

Having no other choice, Helian Jiao could only sigh in sorrow.

The dignified little princess of the Golden Dragon Clan has fallen to the point where she can't even afford an ice cream. If those dragon cubs of the Crimson Dragon Clan were to see this...

Hmph, if they dare laugh at her, she'll beat them into pig-headed dragons!

However, after taking a sip of the cool orange soda, the little princess instantly beamed with joy: "Delicious!"

Seeing her happily gulping down the drink from the bottle, Gu Tingyun also found the orange-flavored soda particularly delicious.

After taking a couple of sips, he said to Chen Honghong, "Auntie, I need to make a phone call."

The counter was a bit too tall for five-year-old Gu, so he needed an adult's help to take the telephone receiver down.

Chen Honghong took the phone down for him: "Do you remember the phone number?"
