One design was suitable for old people to wear. It was a low-key yet elegant watch. This was a gift for Grandpa Song.
The second one was novel and graceful. This was a gift for Lu Shanhe.
The third one was also elegant but had a simple structure. This was a gift for Dr. Fang Zheng.
After buying gifts for the adults, Gu Chu snuck to the children’s wear section. She ignored all the pink fairy dresses and chose two sets of girl clothes that suited her style.
In the end, Gu Chu went to the pet shop and bought a sturdy and durable rice bowl for Goldie.
Cheng Qi did not disturb Gu Chu from the beginning to the end. He was doing a good job at carrying Gu Chu’s shopping.
The closer he got to the end of his trip to the United States, the more cautious Cheng Qi was. He almost never left Gu Chu’s side. He knew why Gu Chu came to the United States. He also knew that Gu Chu had won the hacking competition, which could put her life in danger.
Gu Chu was only six years old. She was not as good at fighting as she was in her previous life. Back then, she could easily fight against ten people at once.
But now, any adult could easily deal with her.
Cheng Qi would not let this happen. He wanted to protect Gu Chu.
“It’s about time. I’ve finished buying.” Gu Chu calculated the remaining money in her card. She had less than ten dollars left… Sure enough, she spent money as if it was water. Before she came, her wallet was full. After walking around for a bit, her wallet immediately lost weight.
Cheng Qi carried the big and small bags and smiled dotingly. “Let’s go back to the hotel.”
Gu Chu stepped out of the mall. Her small steps suddenly stopped. Gu Chu patted her head. “Oh my, I forgot to buy a gift for Uncle Song!”
She bought a gift for everyone. Even her dog Goldie got a new bowl. In the end, Gu Chu actually forgot her father, Song Chen…
She only had less than ten dollars left in her pocket.
With her father’s personality, when he found out that his precious daughter had forgotten about him, he would definitely be secretly depressed and complain to Gu Manxi in all sorts of ways. Then, he would deeply reflect on whether his recent actions and words had disgusted his daughter. In the end, her father would definitely increase the frequency of his visits to Gu Chu. He would come to the apartment to show his face every day…
As she imagined her father coming to her house every day to deepen their relationship…
Gu Chu shook her arms. It was better to buy him a gift to prevent future trouble.
“Brother Cheng Qi, please wait for a moment. I’ll go back and buy a pair of leather gloves for Uncle Song.” Seeing that Cheng Qi didn’t have any more hands to spare, Gu Chu couldn’t let him follow her back to the mall. Gu Chu ran away swiftly, “I’ll be back soon. Wait for me at the door.”
With that, Gu Chu slipped into the mall and ran toward the store where she would buy the gloves.
It was still the end of September. The weather in China was still hot and stuffy. It was not suitable to wear gloves at all. However, the money in Gu Chu’s pocket could only buy some sturdy-looking gloves. Anyway, her father would definitely be happy if she just gifted him something. It didn’t matter what it was.
Cheng Qi frowned and was about to stop her. “Chu Chu!”
Gu Chu was small and there were many customers in the mall in the afternoon. Her small figure quickly disappeared in the crowd.
Cheng Qi was worried about Gu Chu being alone. He hurriedly left the shopping bags at the front desk and went to the shop that sold gloves. There were almost no customers in the shop, and the staff were chatting lazily.
Cheng Qi strode forward. “Did a six-year-old girl come to buy gloves just now?”
The staff looked at each other, and one of them said, “Two minutes ago, a girl with a small yellow bag came. She bought a pair of gloves and left with her father.”
Cheng Qi was shocked!
Father?
Impossible!
“Are you sure it was her father?” Cheng Qi asked.
