Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Chapter 856: The Movie King has Started Flirting

In these past few years, Gu Xie and Gu Yuanli took very different paths. Second Old Master Gu was not worried about it; they were still brothers anyway. One day, they would return to be on good terms again. Now was the perfect time for it to happen. He was not intending to be too straightforward about it, so he let Gu Xie think about it himself.

“I will find time to discuss this with Second Brother properly.”

Second Old Master Gu nodded. It seemed like things were going as he had thought. Gu Yuanli had never told Gu Xie the things about the Yang Family as Gu Xie was too young. When he was adopted, he was already a part of the Gu Family. He was never curious about his biological parents, and he thought of himself as a child in the Gu Family.

When Second Old Master Gu left, he gave Lin Xiaojuan a very simple antique gold-plated wooden box. With a kind smile, he told Lin Xiaojuan. “Girl, it has been hard on you these few days. When you have time, come home with Gu Xie and have a meal with us. This is my welcome gift for you.”

“Thank you… Uncle!” Lin Xiaojuan’s ears reddened.

Second Old Master Gu did not object to this relationship at all. In fact, he had looked into this matter before.

The lady before him had given a lot of help to his daughter and grandson. She had also become besties with her daughter for all these years. They were closer than sisters, and no one else could make a better daughter-in-law than her. She was beautiful, determined, and a capable woman.

Perfection!

Lin Xiaojuan held the little box feeling slightly scared. She entered the room in a dreamy state, and Gu Xie’s eyes lit up. As an artiste manager, Lin Xiaojuan had been used to the battles in the entertainment industry, and she was also used to watching all the family feuds going on in television dramas. She had always thought that the powerful and high-status Second Old Master Gu would be against her relationship with Gu Xie. After all, she was not compatible with Gu Xie at all, and she did not have an outstanding family background.

Who knew that he would even give her a welcome gift. He was really kind and friendly. It was like this was all a dream.

“Your dad gave me a welcome gift.” Lin Xiaojuan felt that the box was too much for her. “I accepted it shamelessly. That’s not very nice, was it?”

Second Old Master Gu was too powerful, so she accepted it subconsciously. When Second Old Master Gu had left, she then suddenly realized that she had not politely declined. That was rather unruly.

“When an elderly gives you a gift, just accept it. Open it and see what’s inside.” Gu Xie looked really gentle, and it was as if he knew what was in the box.

Lin Xiaojuan opened it up, and in that antique box, there was a beautiful emerald green jade Buddha that was extremely costly.

“Wow…” Lin Xiaojuan exclaimed. “That’s such an expensive gift.”

She racked her brains thinking of what she should get for Second Old Master Gu as a gift the next time she visited. The financial resources of her entire family probably compare to the price of the gift. She felt rather troubled. Gu Xie took the jade Buddha and signaled for her to sit.

He wrapped his arms around her and helped her put on the jade Buddha.

“This jade had been placed at home for years, and dust had been collecting on it. It should be worn. It has healing effects,” Gu Xie said softly. His warm breath was all around her, and there was a faint rosin smell that made Lin Xiaojuan’s face redden.

Then, Second Old Master Gu had accidentally found some imperial jade. He ordered people to make 6 identical jade Buddhas for him, and he joked that he wanted to give them to his 6 daughters-in-law as their welcome gift.

This jade Buddha had always been in the hands of Second Old Master Gu.

It was also the first time he had the opportunity to give it to his daughter-in-law.

He could imagine how happy Second Old Master Gu must have been when he gave the jade Buddha to her.

Gu Xie’s eyes were focused and passionate. For some reason, Lin Xiaojuan felt her heart palpitating wildly from being stared at him like that, and her ears reddened. Gu Xie pushed her hair behind her ear softly and complimented her honestly. “This jade looks so beautiful when you wear it.”
