Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Wear This
Gu’s mom murmured this while simultaneously opening the box to peek inside, beaming with surprise, “Oh, they’re earrings. But how come they are with a cartoon pattern? This kid usually has such good taste, why now… never mind, never mind. For your thoughtfulness, I won’t fuss too much!”
Gu’s mom had intended to take them right away, but thinking that these were a surprise prepared by her son, her hand hesitated briefly before she finally closed the drawer.
Yes, better wait for her son to personally give them to her on her birthday!
The self-entertained Gu’s mom looked forward with a heart full of anticipation…
Three days later, Mengmeng would be able to remove her initial earrings and replace them with new ones.
Mengmeng was extremely excited.
Tong Mo was also very excited.
“Mengmeng, take a look and pick any you like, it’s on the house!” Tong Mo immediately took out all of her earrings, not keeping a single one hidden, and laid them all in front of Mengmeng, generously letting her choose.
Good things are to be shared with best friends!
“Really?” Upon hearing this, Mengmeng’s eyes suddenly sparkled, gazing at the dazzling array of earrings, indecision kicking in. “Momo, all of your earrings are so beautiful. I think I’ll take this pink one…”
Just as she was about to reach for it, Gu Zhihan handed over a box to her from the side, “Wear this.”
“Hm? What?” Mengmeng’s hand paused from picking up Tong Mo’s earring, and she turned to look at him.
“I said, wear this.” Gu Zhihan repeated, opening the box.
A pair of adorable strawberry earrings suddenly appeared in front of Mengmeng.
The strawberries were made of resin, and the pins were pure silver.
“Silver is good for piercings; it doesn’t get infected as often,” he added indifferently. “Wow! Hubby! You are too good to me!” Mengmeng already liked the earrings, and hearing his caring words, she couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.
Seeing her excitement, Gu Zhihan felt happy deep down, but he crossed his arms and tried to act cool: “I just don’t want you to have ear infections often and bother me to apply medicine.”
“Oh!” Mengmeng was already used to his way of showing affection without admitting it openly. Happily, she reached out for the earrings and started fitting them into her ears by the small mirror on the table.
Then, she kept happily gazing at herself in the mirror.
“So, you don’t want any of mine?” Tong Mo asked weakly, looking at her.
“No, no.” Mengmeng shifted her gaze away from the mirror, glanced at Tong Mo’s quirky style earrings, and immediately waved her hands in disdain, “Don’t you think your earrings are a bit ugly?”
“But you just said they were pretty!”
Tong Mo was stunned. Really, smacking her own face like that?
“Oh… maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me just then.” Luo Mengmeng seriously replied.
If it weren’t for Gu Zhihan being there to protect her, Tong Mo really would have bitten Luo Mengmeng’s head off.
Mengmeng didn’t notice her murderous vibe; her attention was all on her new earrings.
Just after returning home from school, she bounced over to Gu’s mom, eager to show off her ears, “Godmother, godmother, look at my earring, isn’t it pretty!”
