The Beloved and Pampered Girl

“It’s the glass slippers I prepared for you!”

Jian Dan felt her eyes moisten in an instant. Uncle had actually made a pair of shoes for her by hand. Looking at each crystal carefully attached, she knew Uncle must have put a lot of thought and time into making them.

Thinking of Uncle clumsily but earnestly attaching the crystals, the corners of Jian Dan’s mouth curled up unconsciously.

Seeing Jian Dan’s eyes begin to redden, Chu Liyuan softly spoke, “Jian Jian, I did all this to make you happy, not to make you cry.”

Jian Dan’s face broke into a big smile, and she threw her arms around Chu Liyuan’s neck.

Even with everyone prepared for it, they still fed them a hefty dose of public display of affection.

“Little sister-in-law, are you trying to torture us single folks to death?” Sizhe said, looking at the two of them sheepishly.

“That’s right! We have to make you guys hurry up and find your other halves!

Then it’ll be Uncle’s and my turn to be fed dog food!”

“Pssh, who can compete with the amount of dog food you guys dish out? Can’t compare, wouldn’t dare to!” Sizhe said self-mockingly.

“You’re exaggerating, aren’t you?”

“Jian, we’re already sour enough, let’s not go on with the Versailles literature, okay?” Qin Rou slowly spoke up.

“I’ll try my best!”

While Jian Dan was speaking, Chu Liyuan kept gazing at her with adoring eyes.

Seeing Jian Jian’s smile, he felt incredibly at peace!

For the rest of his life, he wanted to give her all the happiness in the world, so she could smile like this every day.

“You’ve messed up the whole process; now let’s move on to the next challenge!” Qin Rou, true to her dual major in public relations and management, managed to get the process back on track even in such a situation.

Upon Qin Rou’s reminder, the girls remembered their mission for the day.

“Right, right!”

“What is it?” Chu Liyuan’s gaze still fixed on Jian Dan, his mouth moved slightly.

“The next thing is to show off your boyfriend power!” Yuanyuan blurted out before anyone else.

“No, it’s husband power!” Mo Mo corrected her.

“Exactly, husband power is correct!” Yuanyuan scratched his head.

“What does that mean?” All the men present showed confused faces.

“The trending dad-style hug, of course!” Xiaoting said excitedly.

This was the part she’d been looking forward to most.

The men still wore puzzled expressions.

This really was the segment that exposed one’s age!

“It means to hug Jian like one would hug a baby!” Xiaoting was getting impatient.

“Come here~” Chu Liyuan said to Jian Dan, beckoning her over slowly.

Jian Dan, with her head lowered, shyly took small steps toward him, but before Jian Dan could reach Chu Liyuan, he had already swiftly moved toward her, picking her up with one arm effortlessly.

Taken by surprise, Jian Dan let out an involuntary “Ah~” and tightly wrapped her arms around Uncle’s neck.

The moment Chu Liyuan lifted Jian Dan into his arms, the girls erupted in cheers.

Witnessing the glow in the girl’s eyes, the boys looked on, still not understanding.

“Is it because I’m older? Why can’t I get it?” Shang said slowly, observing the scene before him.

To Shang, such an action was as easy as pie. The intensity of his regular training was at least a hundred times tougher than this!

“It just shows that you clueless men simply don’t understand romance!” Mo Mo said with a hint of disdain.

Shang was already wary of Mo Mo, so upon hearing her comment, he wisely kept his mouth shut. This was one woman he definitely didn’t want to mess with!

Watching Chu Liyuan hold Jian Dan as if he didn’t want to let go, Xia Mengjiao teased, “Mr. Chu, can’t bear to put Jian down?”

“No need to put her down. Aren’t I supposed to carry her downstairs next?” Chu Liyuan said, looking up at Jian Dan still in his arms.

“Uncle, will it take a long time?” Jian Dan was worried Uncle would get tired.

“A lifetime wouldn’t be too long!”

As soon as Chu Liyuan spoke, everyone turned into green-eyed monsters.

“Really didn’t see that coming. Usually so decisive and fearsome, Chu Liyuan can actually utter such mushy words? My skin’s crawling here.” Mo Mo really dared to say anything!

But Chu Liyuan didn’t respond; all his attention was focused on Jian Jian…
