Not long after she brought Gu Xiaobao back up to the office, Gu Qingjiu saw that Helian Niancheng was done packing.
Seeing Gu Qingjiu, he walked over and helped Gu Qingjiu with the parcel. “What did you buy for him?”
“You will know once you see it.”
They entered the elevator as they talked and arrived at the garage. Gu Qingjiu entered the car and secured Gu Xiaobao on the child booster. Gu Xiaobao pouted. “Mom, I want to sit with you.”
“Be good. Your dad’s driving. A child like you can only sit on the booster seat.”
Gu Qingjiu tapped his nose and Gu Xiaobao could only puff up in an unhappy note as he sat on his seat.
The parcel was quite big, so Gu Qingjiu thought it was better to open it to reveal its contents.
It was a painting!
The painting was a solo portrait of Gu Xiaobao. Exquisitely painted, it was colored using special paints that emitted faint floral fragrance.
“When I was in South Africa, I met an artist who painted using flowers. I thought it was unique so I passed him Xiaobao’s photo for him to paint a portrait.”
Seeing that it was only a painting, Gu Xiaobao turned around with disinterest.
Helian Niancheng looked at the painting before praising, “Not bad.”
Calling him a wife-praising maniac was not an exaggeration.
Gu Qingjiu was seated on the front passenger seat. She fished out a box of sour candy from her bag and tasted it.
She didn’t think it would be too sour but it turned out to be insanely sour.
Gu Qingjiu’s expression twisted at the sourness. She originally wanted to give Gu Xiaobao a piece but seeing that Helian Niancheng didn’t notice the change in her expression, she quickly regained her calm…
…And picked a piece up to feed Helian Niancheng. “Hubby, here, this tastes good.”
Without realizing anything, Helian Niancheng lowered his head and ate the candy.
Helian Niancheng was speechless.
But she had to praise his ridiculous ability to remain calm. Seeing the lack of expression on his face, Gu Qingjiu guffawed.
Seeing that, Gu Xiaobao poked his head forward. “Mom, what are you eating? I want it too!”
Gu Qingjiu kept the candy and couldn’t resist laughing. “You can’t. It’s too sour.”
With great difficulty, Helian Niancheng swallowed the candy without any expression as he started the car. “Your mom is mischievous.”
Gu Qingjiu was gleeful. “Hubby, I was just teasing you!” she exclaimed as she leaned forward to peck on Helian Niancheng’s cheeks.
Gu Xiaobao immediately whined. “I want a kiss too! I want a kiss too!”
Gu Qingjiu turned back but it couldn’t be helped that Gu Xiaobao was too far. “I will kiss you when we get back.”
“Hmph!”
Gu Xiaobao crossed his arms at the back seat, looking unhappy.
Mom was always perfunctory towards him. Why was she able to kiss Dad but not him? When they reached home later, she wouldn’t kiss him anymore.
Dad was so hateful! Always occupying Mom’s attention!
She called home to let her parents prepare for the meal.
Gu Qingjiu even called Yu Bao’er to see if she had time to catch up.
However, Yu Bao’er was traveling with Huo Yingcheng.
Sure. Ever since Yu Bao’er and Huo Yingcheng started dating, they stuck to each other like glue and it was rare to catch a glimpse of either of them.
Love made people sweet.
