If it weren’t for the fear of scaring the darling, Gu Yelin very much wished she would accept all the remaining black cards in his hand.
Alright, Master Gu is mighty and domineering, his way of thinking is absolutely different from that of an ordinary man.
An Yiqing was strong and independent, but she was also a woman. Since she was a woman, she couldn’t help but like the sweet nothings from her lover. Regarding the black card, apart from being moved, she didn’t have many other feelings. She just felt that this man truly treated her as a treasure in the palm of his hand.
"Um, Ah Lin, I didn’t prepare a gift for you, sorry..." The girl patted her clothes pocket and, finding nothing, couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty.
Gu Yelin caressed her hair indulgently, saying softly, "It’s okay. The gift I want, you have it."
As he spoke, he gently lifted the girl’s delicate chin, and in her puzzled gaze, he placed a fervent kiss.
It wasn’t until An Yiqing was almost out of breath that Gu Yelin reluctantly let go of her.
He caressed her little face, now red from holding her breath, with tenderness and said, "Let’s go, downstairs."
Downstairs, Old Lady An and Kong Shi were bustling about in the kitchen. An Zisheng was squatting on the side, helping to pick chives, while An Zhihang and An Zhiyan were forced to sit at the dining table to knead dough.
"Big brother, second brother!" An Yiqing had just come downstairs when she saw the two struggling with the dough at the table.
"Little sister! You finally came down!" An Zhihang looked up and saw the girl, immediately tossed the dough to An Zhiyan and hid behind An Yiqing as if he had been pardoned.
An Zhiyan held the dough, his mouth twitching as he watched An Zhihang’s retreat, then slammed the dough onto the table and kneaded it furiously!
An Yiqing watched her two brothers play the fool with a smile, not joining in but enjoying the spectacle from the side.
"Niuniu came down!" At that moment, Old Lady An came out of the kitchen and happened to see An Yiqing, her eyes brightening.
Kong Shi, hearing Old Lady An’s words, poked her head out of the kitchen and said to An Yiqing with a smile, "Darling, mom saved breakfast for you. Didn’t you say after eating you’re going to see Old Master Gu? Eat up, don’t delay the time."
An Yiqing nodded obediently, "Um, okay."
After breakfast, An Yiqing and Gu Yelin left the An Family home and headed to the mall by car.
"Ah Lin, what does Grandpa Gu like?" An Yiqing frowned, looking at the various stores in the mall with a conflicted expression.
"I’ll take you there." Gu Yelin, not willing to let the girl worry, took her hand and headed towards an antique shop.
Old Master Gu was not fond of antiques, but he had a unique love for teapots. No matter the material, as long as it was old and well-crafted, he liked it.
An Yiqing browsed the shop and finally chose a set of exquisitely made purple clay pots.
Although the tea set wasn’t made by a famous artist, its workmanship was meticulous and perfect for an elderly person to use as a personal tea pot. An Yiqing knew the moment she saw it that Old Master Gu would definitely like it.
After buying the teapot, An Yiqing also bought gifts for the other members of the Gu Family, from Gu Yelin’s father Gu Weijun to the youngest, Gu Tingting, not leaving anyone out.
With bags in hand, Gu Yelin looked at the girl selecting a chessboard for Weijun with a face filled with laughter, his handsome face beaming.
His smile, casual as it was, stunned a group of female clerks in the store.
Their eyes shone with adoration as they looked at Gu Yelin, and with envy at An Yiqing.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven, that’s what they must be talking about!
