"Grandma gave me a lot of good things."
Sitting in the main hall drinking tea, Gu Xuexi looked at the sandalwood box in Gu Tingxiao's hand and knew that the old lady had given him quite a bit.
"Our baby An'an has good taste."
Grandma Gu chuckled and touched Xiao An's tender little face.
An Man held her favorite yellow diamond tightly in her hand, and when she heard Grandma Gu say that she had good taste, she didn't forget to show the big diamond in her hand to Gu Xuexi.
To be honest, even Gu Xuexi was tempted by it.
This is a loose diamond that hasn't been shaped yet. When Gu Xuexi, who runs a high-end jewelry company, saw this yellow diamond, many design ideas for this top-quality loose diamond instantly flashed through her mind.
However, she wouldn't be jealous of the things the old lady gave to the children.
"So beautiful, An'an's new diamond is as beautiful as An'an's eyes."
The tiny, adorable child held up a diamond that was enormous in her palm, her large, dark eyes sparkling like little stars. Gu Xuexi felt a surge of tenderness and praised her.
Not used to being praised by others, Xiao An withdrew her little hand that was holding up the big diamond and turned to look at Gu Tingxiao as if asking for help.
Gu Tingxiao gave her an encouraging smile, and Xiao Anman was finally relieved.
"Oh dear, is our little An'an shy?"
Grandma Gu's affection for Xiao Anman grew exponentially; she liked him more and more every time she looked at him.
Little Anman, holding the diamond in her tiny paws, rushed into Old Mrs. Gu's arms.
"Oh my, you're really shy."
"Grandma, I think that besides his close relative Tingxiao, the person this child is closest to is you."
Gu Xuexi joked.
These words struck a chord with Old Mrs. Gu. Her great-granddaughter's fondness and affection for her naturally pleased her.
“You are a good child who takes care of the family. Come on, Grandma will take you to play in the garden.”
Gu Tingxiao rarely returned to the old house without being bombarded with nagging from his parents, and he was able to enjoy a rare moment of peace and quiet.
Grandma Gu spent a long time playing with Xiao Anman in the huge garden.
Through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, bathed in sunlight and surrounded by bustling activity, the elderly man and the young child, walking slowly, appeared remarkably harmonious and congenial.
How old is An'an?
Gu Xuexi had actually raised children before. Looking at the two figures, one tall and one short, in the warm sunlight, she asked a question out of concern.
Gu Tingxiao sent people to investigate An An's background, and the family that abused An An has been thrown into jail.
However, very little information about An'an's background can be found. All that is known is that An'an was bought by that family from a human trafficker when she was about one year old. As for the information about the human trafficker, all the information that can be found is false.
The age was determined by combining the family's description and the hospital's examination report. To be precise, An'an is only three and a half years old.
"Three and a half years old? You're usually at the company, do you have time to take care of the child? Why don't you let An'an go to kindergarten?"
Busy, Gu Tingxiao is simply the busiest person in the Gu family. Gu Xuexi thinks about it for a moment and realizes that Gu Tingxiao can squeeze out very little time to spend with Xiao Anman.
kindergarten?
Gu Tingxiao thought about it. An'an's situation was already much better than before. If the kindergarten could help her become more lively and interact more with other children, things might get even better.
"I'll consider it."
"You are the president of the Gu Group. I may not be as good as you in business, but there are many things you don't know about raising children. If you really plan to send An'an to kindergarten, you must choose a good place. Do you know which kindergarten is the best right now?"
Seeing Gu Tingxiao's slightly furrowed brows, Gu Xuexi asked with a bit of a laugh, "Raising children is so troublesome. Even just this one kindergarten has so many complicated things going on."
Um...
President Gu fell silent, a rare occurrence for him.
"I'll have someone send you information on the best kindergartens later, and you can choose one yourself."
"good."
Gu Tingxiao didn't force him; as long as it was for An'an's good, he readily agreed.
"Brenda's jewelry collaboration proposal for the Asia-Pacific region will be delivered to you tomorrow."
In return for goodwill, Gu Tingxiao was generous, readily awarding deals worth hundreds of millions.
Gu Xuexi, who had only offered a suggestion out of good intentions, did not expect to receive such an unexpected reward. She thought that her proposal at the press conference in Shanghai would go unnoticed.
She was originally thinking about whether to try again, but she didn't expect that she could do it so easily now.
She knew Gu Tingxiao's character; either he didn't get involved in these matters, or if he did, then everything was 100% secure.
It seems that the jade pendant I received today was truly well-deserved.
Gu Xuexi, in a good mood, turned her gaze to the old man and the child outside the French windows. It seemed that this little guy's backer was not only strong but also very solid.
Around lunchtime, Grandma Gu returned with An'an in her hand.
"An'an is hungry, hurry up and prepare it."
The old lady gave instructions to the servants.
"Yes, Madam."
Xiao An, who was getting hungry from playing outside, pounced straight on Gu Tingxiao's long legs.
"Daddy~"
Ugh, I kind of miss poop.
Gu Tingxiao picked up Xiao Anman, who was snuggling on his lap, and asked, "Did you have fun playing with Great-Grandma?"
"Happy!"
Xiao An answered crisply. Grandma Gu and Gu Xuexi watched as this little girl, as delicate as jade, nestled in Gu Tingxiao's arms like a little adult, unconsciously acting cute. They never knew that the cold and aloof Gu Tingxiao could have such a side.
"So many flowers, so beautiful!"
Xiao Anman used her short hands to gesture to Gu Tingxiao the beautiful flowers she had seen in the garden.
It seems they really had a lot of fun; even the little tuft of hair on Xiao An's head has become a bit loose.
Gu Tingxiao carried Xiao Anman to the sofa, pinched Xiao Anman's little face and said, "Daddy will braid your hair."
Huh
Upon hearing this, Xiao Anman immediately reached out a hand to touch her incredibly cute little pigtails.
What happened to her little pigtails?
"It's okay, Dad will just re-stick it up for you."
Although Gu Tingxiao is busy, he will always spend time with Xiao Anman whenever he has free time. He does many things personally, and his hair-tying skills are now very proficient.
Upon hearing Gu Tingxiao's words, Xiao Anman immediately sat quietly and waited for her father to re-tie her little bun.
How wonderful!
The old lady seemed to be thinking about something, and upon seeing this scene, her eyes actually became a little hot.
Tingxiao has suffered too much. She wanted him to settle down and start a family early so that he could have some warmth in him. He is in the prime of his life, but he is devoted to the company and has turned himself into a block of ice that no one can warm.
Now that Xiao An'an is here, Tingxiao should be able to move on from this situation.
