Gu Chen laughed heartily, “Why worry about the cost? Buying shoes for my wife is only right!”
His smile was confident and warm, with a high and straight nose.
A pair of deep-set eyes, clear and clean.
Just one glance seemed to have the power to drown one’s soul.
One had to admit Gu Chen was really good-looking.
Ji Pianran looked at him and felt her heartbeat quicken involuntarily.
Seeing her not move, Gu Chen waved his hand in front of her face.
“Don’t just stand there; if they don’t fit, we’ll have to return them to the city tomorrow, which is New Year’s Eve. It’s the last day before all the shops close for the Spring Festival.”
Gu Chen had guessed her shoe size blindly, and he wasn’t truly sure about it inside.
If they didn’t fit, they would have to be exchanged.
Ji Pianran blinked and hurriedly gave an “Oh” in response.
Only then did she sit on the small stool, take off the cotton shoes she was wearing, and started trying on the new ones.
One had to say Gu Chen had really good taste; the shoes were beautiful, made of grey leather, and looked upscale and textured.
The moment Ji Pianran put them on her feet, she was stunned.
The shoes fit perfectly, not too big, not too small!
She blinked, her black jade-like eyes filled with disbelief.
Gu Chen… actually knew her shoe size?
How did he know?
He had never asked her!
“Mommy, the shoes look so good!”
The little girl looked at the shoes on Ji Pianran’s feet and couldn’t help exclaiming in awe.
Her mother was definitely the most beautiful mom in the world!
The shoes looked even better on her mother’s feet!
Hearing Tangtang’s compliment, Ji Pianran finally smiled with pursed lips.
She looked up at Gu Chen and asked, “How did you know my size?”
Gu Chen looked at Ji Pianran’s feet and saw that the shoes seemed to fit perfectly.
He laughed heartily and extended a hand, “All within my grasp!”
Last time he had touched Ji Pianran’s feet, they were small and lovely, and he never forgot them after just one glance!
Upon hearing this, Ji Pianran’s face flushed red.
It was clear she was reminded of the time Gu Chen had helped her rub her feet.
“Nonsense!”
She turned her face away, trying to hide her embarrassment.
But Gu Chen clearly saw from her side profile that Ji Pianran was smiling.
Her lips, flushed red, smiled as tenderly and beautifully as a spring breeze softly passing.
Her long eyelashes trembled, and a warm glow emanated from her almond-shaped eyes.
Gu Chen’s heart skipped a beat.
His wife was too beautiful.
Looking down at the shoes on her feet, Ji Pianran remarked, “The shoes are lovely; I really like them.”
Looking at her adorable daughter and the smiling Gu Chen.
Her heart began to tremble with each beat.
For the first time, she felt a sensation called happiness.
Gu Chen seemed to remember something.
“Right, the goji berries sold well today, made more than ten thousand. Here’s ten thousand for you, and I’ll keep the rest to buy some things.”
After all, it was almost New Year’s, and the day after tomorrow they would be visiting his family, right?
He needed to buy gifts for his parents, as well as his brother and sister-in-law.
After saying this, he reached into his pocket and took out the ten thousand yuan.
These days Gu Chen had been giving her money daily, and Ji Pianran seemed to have gotten used to such life.
She reached out and took the ten thousand yuan, holding it in her palm.
Looking at the thick stack of hundred-yuan bills, she thought back to the days when she was so poor she couldn’t even afford milk powder.
She felt incredibly secure inside.
“Thank you, Gu Chen.”
But Ji Pianran had not yet kicked the habit of thanking Gu Chen.
Her gratitude was genuine.
Thankful that he hadn’t left this time, thankful for the hope he brought to her life.
Thankful to him for letting her know what it feels like to have someone who truly cares by her side.
She was no longer alone.
Gu Chen pursed his lips, to be honest, every time Ji Pianran thanked him, he would feel incredibly guilty.

The more sincere her thanks, the more uncomfortable he felt inside.
He pursed his lips, “Pian Ran, this is all as it should be; you believe me, we’ll be able to live a good life very soon! I will never leave you again.”
With this ten thousand yuan, he could build a small two-story building and set up a greenhouse in his own house.
Then, the good days would really begin.
This time, Ji Pianran nodded her head vigorously without a trace of doubt.
The little girl was extremely curious about her mother’s shoes at the moment, squatting on the ground and stroking them with her small hands.
“Is this a gift from Daddy to Mommy?”
She seemed to be talking to herself.
Children are always filled with curiosity about everything.
Ji Pianran quickly bent down and hugged Xiao Tangtang into her arms, her face beaming with tenderness.
“Yes, it is a gift from Daddy to Mommy.”
Upon hearing this, the little girl’s eyes rounded with surprise.
Indeed, Daddy had bought a gift for Mommy by himself!
Why wasn’t there one for herself!
No way!
Xiao Tangtang was unhappy!
Her little mouth puckered up as if she was about to cry.
“Daddy, don’t you like Xiao Tangtang anymore?”
Gu Chen: “???”
Why would him buying shoes for Ji Pianran mean he didn’t like Xiao Tangtang?
How could a child’s thought process be so strange?
“Daddy likes Xiao Tangtang very, very much,” he explained patiently.
Hearing that Daddy did like her, Xiao Tangtang’s expression eased a lot, “Then why does Mommy have a gift and Xiao Tangtang doesn’t?”
The little rascal was waiting right here for him.
Gu Chen once again thought of that saying, daughters are Daddy’s little lovers from a past life.
Absolutely!
Xiao Tangtang was even jealous of her own mother, definitely a little lover!
He smiled and took out a small strawberry hair tie from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Tangtang, “Who says there’s nothing for Xiao Tangtang? Daddy will never forget about Xiao Tangtang.”
He had bought it on a whim while paying off a debt at the store; after all, it seemed inappropriate not to buy anything while paying back money.
So Gu Chen had casually picked up this hair tie.
Seeing the strawberry hair tie, Xiao Tangtang was delighted; she finally had her own gift.
She had her own gift!
The little girl tugged at Ji Pianran’s clothes, “Mommy, tie Xiao Tangtang’s hair quickly. Xiao Tangtang loves the little strawberry!”
Ji Pianran looked at her precious daughter, feeling both helpless and amused. She’s only two years old, and she’s already starting to fuss about her looks?
It was a mystery whom she took after.
Gu Chen checked the time, feeling that the meat should be ready and they could have dinner now.
“I’m going to serve the rice, the meat should be ready.”
After saying that, he headed to the kitchen.
“I’ll help you!”
Ji Pianran replied, then remembered that she had to tie Xiao Tangtang’s hair and could only give Gu Chen an apologetic smile.
Gu Chen nodded, “No problem, I’ll be right back.”
…
Once dinner was ready, the family of three, as usual, sat at the small square table.
The aroma of braised pork filled the entire house.
Ji Pianran picked up her chopsticks, chose a tender piece of rib from the bowl, and placed it in Gu Chen’s bowl.
“Eat. You’ve worked hard all day.”
He had worked hard all day, so the first piece of ribs naturally went to him.
Gu Chen looked at the meat in his bowl and nodded excitedly.
“Mm, you eat too. Everyone eat, everyone!”
Ji Pianran selected another piece for Xiao Tangtang, “Xiao Tangtang, eat more meat. Eating meat will help you grow big and strong.”
The little girl’s eyes shone at the sight of the ribs, and she grabbed and gnawed on them without saying a word.
With one bite of meat in her stomach, the expression on her chubby face was one of pure satisfaction.
It was so delicious.
Gu Chen served Ji Pianran with a piece of rib, “You eat too, eat more meat to grow fast.”
Ji Pianran: “???”
She couldn’t help but laugh after a moment. Did he really treat her like a child?
She was well into her twenties and had stopped growing a long time ago!
After dinner, Gu Chen, as always, took care of the dishes and chopsticks.
Ji Pianran wasn’t idle either. She wiped Xiao Tangtang’s mouth while reminding her, “Xiao Tangtang, be good and play by yourself for a while. Mommy is going to boil water.”
Tomorrow was New Year’s Eve, and it was time for Gu Chen to take a bath!
