The meal was very enjoyable, mainly because Xiao Anman was sitting next to us, which made everyone's appetites better without us even realizing it.
"An'an, say goodbye to your great-grandfather and great-grandmother."
Gu Tingxiao didn't plan to stay overnight at the old house with Xiao Anman, and seeing that it was getting late, he decided to go back.
"Great-grandfather, great-grandmother, goodbye!"
"Auntie, goodbye!"
Little An obediently waved his little hands.
"Why are you going back? If you want to go back, then go back. An'an can stay here and we can take care of her."
Grandma Gu was reluctant to part with it; how could time have passed so quickly?
Of course, An'an would come with him to the Royal Bay Villa. Gu Tingxiao said in a deep voice, "I will bring An'an back next time I have time."
Of course, one should keep one's own daughter under one's watchful eye.
The old lady was just reluctant to part with it for a moment; it will all be over soon.
"Hmph, do you consider this place your home or something?"
The fact that they wouldn't even stay overnight made Old Master Gu, whose mood had just calmed down, a little displeased again.
"Then why were you so mean to An'an just now?"
Originally reluctant to part with An'an, Grandma Gu's attention was immediately diverted, and she focused her fire on criticizing Grandpa Gu.
Old Master Gu, who originally wanted to show off his patriarchal authority: ...
"Alright, alright, let's go."
Despite his advanced age, Old Master Gu was still henpecked and had no say in Old Madam Gu's affairs, waving his hand at Gu Tingxiao.
I didn't expect that leaving would almost cause a small commotion...
When Gu Tingxiao carried Xiao Anman into the car, he was surprised to find an exquisitely packaged gift box in the back seat.
The driver explained that it was sent by Mr. Gu as a gift for the young lady.
It seems that Grandpa Gu also has a very good impression of Xiao Anman. Although he didn't say anything, he was just as generous as Grandma Gu in his spending.
Inside was a delicate green jade pendant.
This thing can no longer be measured by value.
This is one of Mr. Gu's collection items.
To put it simply, even if Xiao Anman has nothing left, she can still live a life free from worries about food and clothing thanks to a jade pendant.
"Does An'an like it?"
"Porridge~"
In Xiao Anman's eyes, this exquisite green pendant radiated a light that made her feel even more comfortable than that diamond.
Jade has a spirit, and this exquisite green pendant is indeed a good thing. Although Xiao Anman herself can't explain it, she really likes it.
It feels warm to the touch; it's a piece of warm jade.
Gu Tingxiao watched as her little hands clutched his 'new favorite' jade pendant, remembering that the treasures he had amassed in Old Madam Gu's private treasury had fallen out of favor before he could even enjoy them.
If he likes it so much, and this jade pendant is the right size, he'll find someone to string it together and put it on Xiao Anman when they get back to Yujin Bay.
So the big shot's idea is so simple and unpretentious. Who would give something so priceless to a little kid who might trip and fall while walking?
It's fine jade, but it's also fragile.
Anyway, Gu Tingxiao had already made up his mind, and this jade pendant would soon be worn around Xiao Anman's neck.
"Does An'an want to go to kindergarten?"
Gu Xuexi was right about this. He didn't have enough time, but he also hoped that Xiao Anman could become more lively like other children and have friends in Tongling to talk to.
"Is kindergarten a forest?"
Little Anman lay on Gu Tingxiao's lap, raising her little head to look at him with a puzzled expression.
Um...
“At kindergarten, there are many children who can play with An’an.”
Gu Tingxiao, who skipped grades all the way, had no childhood, but he had vision and experience, which was more than enough to answer Xiao Anman's endless questions.
"Is there poop in the kindergarten?"
This is Xiao Anman's primary concern.
Of course there won't be any poop in the kindergarten.
Gu Tingxiao answered Xiao Anman truthfully.
Will that nest stay in the kindergarten forever?
What if Daddy just leaves her in that place called kindergarten?
Thinking about it, Xiao Anman couldn't stay still any longer. She sat up, opened her little arms and hugged Gu Tingxiao without saying a word, and kept snuggling into his arms.
Gu Tingxiao softened instantly; otherwise, hiring a tutor to play with Xiao An at home would be just as good.
“An’an won’t stay in kindergarten forever. She will still come home every night and sleep in your little room.”
Holding the little bundle of milk that smelled so sweet, Gu Tingxiao gently stroked her little tuft of hair.
How could I bear to leave her in kindergarten or somewhere else forever?
Really?
Xiao An, who had just stepped out of Gu Tingxiao's arms, still had a layer of mist in her pretty big eyes. She tried hard to maintain a strong expression, but when asked a question, it turned into a look of surprised anticipation.
"Yes, didn't Daddy promise An'an that he would always protect her and never abandon her?"
"Daddy~"
Hearing the reassuring answer, Xiao Anman blinked her big eyes and said in a sweet voice, "Then An'an will go to kindergarten!"
As long as it's not that her dad doesn't want her, it's fine.
After returning to Royal Bay, Gu Tingxiao had someone put another box in Xiao Anman's room.
Inside were all of Xiao Anman's spoils of war for the day.
As for that exquisite green pendant, it has already been strung with a rope.
The servants in the house were a little dazzled when they saw what was revealed when the silver metal box in Xiao Anman's room was opened.
