Chapter 705 But he was happy to do it.

"No!" Gu Tingyun, unusually, did not indulge her.

He then pinched her chin and, to her shocked surprise, pressed his rosy, plump lips against hers…

He lightly touched the spot where the tongue needed to be curled with the tip of his tongue and then withdrew it: "This is where you need to curl it."

"Phew~"

Helian Jiao immediately let out a somewhat exaggerated sigh of relief: "I thought you were going to eat me."

"How could I possibly eat you?" Gu Tingyun found it both amusing and helpless. Sure enough, her little darling was still too young and hadn't thought about that at all.

However, he didn't mean anything by it, and simply said, "Sweetie, try again."

Once Helian Jiao knew where to curl her tongue, her pronunciation became correct immediately.

"That's a good idea!"

The little princess's eyes lit up immediately, and she said happily, "Teach me like this from now on!"

"good."

Although it may be both sweet and agonizing, he enjoys it all.

So whenever Helian Jiao's pronunciation was incorrect, Gu Tingyun would use this method to correct her pronunciation.

Suddenly, the little princess's spoken English improved by leaps and bounds.

Midway through, Lu Xiaofen washed some fruit, knocked on the door and brought it in for the two of them. As soon as they entered, they were dazzled by the golden crown: "Where did this crown come from?"

Gu Tingyun said calmly, "I bought the princess crown at Disneyland."

Helian Jiao nodded: "Mhm."

This was the agreed-upon explanation between the two: to keep Richard's affairs from their families for the time being.

Lu Xiaofen walked over and examined it carefully: "This crown is really well made; it looks just like the real thing."

She also had a gold bracelet as part of her dowry.

Helian Jiao immediately scratched her cheek guiltily; she wasn't very good at lying.

Young Master Gu remained composed, saying in his usual tone, "It's plated with a layer of gold on the outside."

Lu Xiaofen nodded: "No wonder it looks real, Americans are really particular."

Then he put the crown down: "Have some fruit to relax your eyes before you continue studying."

"good."

They both breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she left.

Helian Jiao: Luckily Gu Tingyun was there, otherwise she wouldn't have lied.

Gu Tingyun: Luckily, the baby's family has the habit of knocking on the door, otherwise he might have been mistaken for a lecher, since the baby is still too young.

On this day, Chen Jianguo celebrated his fortieth birthday. He didn't plan to have a big celebration; he simply invited his family to have a meal together.

During the meal, Zhao Mei happily talked about Da Ni: "I asked a matchmaker to help Da Ni find a boyfriend. We met him a couple of days ago. He's from the next commune. He's a nice guy, and his parents are honest and upright. Even if Da Ni marries into that family, she won't be bullied."

Da Ni looked a little shy, but deep down she was quite satisfied with this guy.

Upon hearing this, Helian Jiao asked curiously, "Big sister, don't you study anymore?"

She knew that Da Ni liked reading.

Zhao Mei explained, "Da Ni is of marriageable age, and it's time for her to get married. Besides, Er Ni needs to go to school, and the family's financial situation doesn't allow both girls to go to school at the same time."

The other families also understood. Da Ni was at the perfect age to get married; if she went back to school, she would become an old maid!

It won't be easy for her to marry into a good family then.

After all, not everyone can get into a university in the capital like the fourth son's wife.

Helian Jiao replied crisply, "You can set up a stall to earn money."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mei was taken aback at first, then shook her head without thinking and said, "No, neither your uncle nor I are cut out for business; we're terrible with words!"
