Chapter 175 - 175 Is Mother a Fairy?
175 Is Mother a Fairy?
“Father, what are you laughing at?”
Zhuang Zhuang looked at Jiang Danhe, who was smiling foolishly. “Was there something wrong with his brain?”
“I am thinking about your sister…”
Jiang Danhe blurted out. Zhuang Zhuang was confused. “Sister from where?”
Jiang Danhe came back to his senses. He knew that he had said something he shouldn’t have, so he rephrased his words. “The little girl we are going to see today.”
“Oh…”
Zhuang Zhuang didn’t doubt him and nodded.
Jiang Danhe heaved a sigh of relief. This kid had sharp ears.
Father and son stood idly in the doorway, waiting for Xiaoguo.
Jiang Danhe knocked on the door from time to time, afraid that Xiaoguo would look too pretty. He was truly worried.
At first, Xiaoguo answered Jiang Danhe patiently. But in the end, she became so annoyed that she shouted, “Just wait!”
Jiang Danhe thought that the lion’s roar, in comparison to what he had just heard, was just a meow. He instantly wilted and squatted in the corner with Zhuang Zhuang, waiting for Xiaoguo in silence.
“… Has your mother always been like this?”
Jiang Danhe couldn’t help but ask the quiet Zhuang Zhuang.
Zhuang Zhuang glanced at Jiang He and said faintly, “As long as you don’t disturb her, she’s okay.”
What he meant was that Jiang Danhe had been too naggy just now.
“…”
Jiang Danhe understood and shut his mouth.
His legs were numb from squatting and he was thinking of rushing Xiaoguo again. Why was she taking so long? He walked towards the door, lifted his hand and was about to knock when he froze. Jiang Danhe swallowed hard and turned to look at Zhuang Zhuang.
“Zhuang Zhuang, can you ask your mother to hurry up?”
Jiang Danhe was terrified. He thought of Xiaoguo’s roar just now and decided to let Zhuang Zhuang do it.
Zhuang Zhuang didn’t comply. He saw through Jiang Danhe’s thoughts and shook his head. “I’m not in a hurry.”
“If you are in a hurry, you talk to her yourself.”
Jiang Danhe glared at the sly little boy. He was so angry that his lungs hurt. If he dared to do it, why would he still ask him?
“Forget it. Let’s wait a little longer. There’s no hurry.”
Jiang Danhe pretended that nothing had happened and returned to Zhuang Zhuang’s side. He squatted down and started drawing circles.
–
“Let’s go!”
After much anticipation, there was finally movement at the door.
Jiang Danhe and Zhuang Zhuang looked up at the same time with a hint of joy. She was finally done!
The two of them were still squatting down when they saw the hem of a light blue dress appear in front of them. The two of them looked up at the same time.
When Jiang Danhe saw Xiaoguo, he could no longer remain calm and stood up abruptly. His legs were no longer numb. In three steps, he jumped to her side and pushed her back into the room, muttering, “Change your clothes, change your clothes.”
Xiaoguo pushed Jiang Danhe away. “What are you doing? I’m not changing.”
It wasn’t easy for her to get dressed. Why should she get changed?
“Mother, are you a fairy?”
Xiaoguo shook off Jiang Danhe’s hand impatiently. When she heard Zhuang Zhuang’s words, she felt happy. “Really?”
Zhuang Zhuang nodded frantically. When Xiaoguo saw this, she spun around happily. After spending so much effort to dress up, there is no woman who does not want to hear compliments.
In Zhuang Zhuang’s eyes, Xiaoguo was like a fairy in a book, and in Jiang Danhe’s eyes, it was another kind of scenery.
It was not without results that Xiaoguo had spent so much time dressing up in the room. When she first transmigrated here, the host’s skin was dry and yellow from overworking and malnutrition. When Xiaoguo arrived, her diet and nutrition improved significantly. As a result, her skin had become fairer and fresher as the days went by.
At this moment, she was wearing a light blue dress with an inner pink blouse. The blouse was made of gauze, so Xiaoguo’s snow-white skin was subtly revealed through the translucent material. Xiaoguo had the right curves in all the right places, so, even though the outer dress was wrapped tightly, it still revealed her beautiful curves. This was also why Jiang Danhe kept pushing Xiaoguo back to the room to change.
As for Xiaoguo’s face, she happened to have the set of cosmetics that Jiang Danhe gave her. The set was very complete with rouge, powder and eyebrow ink, so Xiaoguo simply applied some light makeup to look more lively.
Xiaoguo initially planned to style her hair into a bun, which was currently the most popular hairstyle here. However, after trying, she realized that she couldn’t do it. This was also why half of her time spent in the house was wasted on trying to bun up her hair. In the end, she decided to give up.
Eventually, she only tied her hair up and tidied up the stray ends. After which, she found a matching hairpin from the pile of accessories she had, and pinned it on her hair. It was simple but beautiful.
At this moment, Xiaoguo could be described as stunningly beautiful, with fair skin, pretty eyes and rosy lips. Although she was not drop-dead gorgeous, she was beautiful enough.
“Go back to the room and change. Go back, go back.”
Jiang Danhe came back to his senses and grabbed Xiaoguo, who was trying to bring Zhuang Zhuang out.
Xiaoguo had tolerated him for a long time earlier when he kept urging her to go back to her room and change.
“It’ll… It’ll be cold. In this weather…”
Jiang Danhe thought for a long time and found a reason. He couldn’t say that he was jealous, right? However, under Xiaoguo’s gaze, he felt less confident.
Xiaoguo looked away. “I don’t care about the temperature. I only care about looking appropriate. Besides, I have a cape with me. I’ll put it on in a while and take it off when we get there.”
After saying that, she pulled Zhuang Zhuang with one hand and pushed Jiang Danhe away. She urged him to leave. “Let’s go, let’s go. We’ll be late. Hurry up…”
Xiaoguo knew that she caused some delay just now, so she could only urge Jiang Danhe to hurry up.
This was the first time Jiang Danhe had heard Xiaoguo speak to him like this. He felt lost, and a little conflicted. He was very happy to see her wearing this dress for him, but the thought of her wearing it out made him feel less happy.
Seeing that Jiang Danhe was not moving and wearing a constipated look on his face, Xiaoguo could roughly tell what he was hung up about. He was really quite cute. “I’ll put it on. Okay?”
He was conflicted because her clothes were a little revealing. Although most of the people here were dressed like this, it was still a lot less than what she usually wore.
As expected, Jiang Danhe was overjoyed when Xiaoguo put on the cape. His face lit up with joy. His brows were no longer furrowed and his mouth was no longer pursed.
But he still said, “Don’t take it off when you get there.”
Xiaoguo wasn’t going to argue with him, so she nodded.
“Sure… as if…”
Xiaoguo added on without him hearing.
Feeling more at ease, Jiang Danhe went to prepare the carriage. Xiaoguo and Zhuang Zhuang followed behind him. They looked at each other and shrugged helplessly.
Zhuang Zhuang: Dad is so petty. What’s that word again? He’s being unreasonable.
Xiaoguo: I think he’s a little cute…
The carriage had been set up early in the morning. Jiang Danhe carried Zhuang Zhuang up first. After settling him down, he turned around and reached out to help Xiaoguo.
Jiang Danhe was standing on the carriage and Xiaoguo was on ground level. When he bent down to help her up, Xiaoguo had to bend down to lift the hem of her dress.
Jiang Danhe’s gaze was constantly and involuntarily attracted by the undulating scenery along the neckline of her dress. It was like he had been possessed. The more he stared, the more dizzy he felt. In the end, he heard the sound of something dripping.
Xiaoguo noticed a drop of dark-colored fluid land on the carriage floor. She looked up curiously and saw Jiang Danhe bleeding from his nose.
“Look up quickly!”
Xiaoguo was shocked. Why was his nose suddenly bleeding?
Jiang Danhe had a guilty conscience. When he heard Xiaoguo’s words, he immediately trembled in fear and said, “I wasn’t looking!”
