Chapter 1806: Chapter 1804: Meeting Gift (Part 1)
Sima Xiaowen smiled slightly, "What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong? Why are you glaring at me?"
"I’ve noticed you’re getting more annoying."
"I wasn’t expecting you to like me anyway, especially since we haven’t known each other for long."
At this moment, Sima Xiaowen seemed a bit like a little rascal, but there was a smile in her voice.
"Luckily, we haven’t known each other for long. If we did, we might have turned into enemies by now," Yun Luo’s voice also carried a hint of amusement.
And Gu Qiaoqiao, looking at Sima Xiaowen and then at Yun Luo, didn’t expect these two to interact like this.
It was quite eye-opening, but even so, Gu Qiaoqiao wasn’t worried.
Being straightforward is much better than scheming behind people’s backs.
Speaking of which, she thought of Liu Ling again.
But there was no evidence yet, so Gu Qiaoqiao swallowed her words back, looking amusedly at the two, "Why do I feel like you two are like frenemies? Is this how you always talk to each other?"
"There’s nothing bad about it; it’s not tiring at all,"
Said Yun Luo. The spacious living room had only three girls, and the atmosphere was casual and free, so Yun Luo stretched lazily, found a comfortable position, and nestled on the sofa, saying lazily, "Since I woke up, I’ve always felt tired. But coming to the Imperial Capital, and staying at Gu Garden these days, I’ve felt much more relaxed."
"So, are you saying you don’t like it here?" Sima Xiaowen asked, somewhat pointedly.
"I wouldn’t say I like it or dislike it. You’re right, I’ll leave sooner or later. But don’t worry, I won’t mess with Chang Qing; that bookworm wouldn’t even understand if I wanted to mess with him."
Just then, Gu Qianqian came down holding Xiao Bei, while Xiao Bao was lying proudly on White Wolf’s soft back, coming down from upstairs.
The two little kids were babbling indistinctly.
They were round and adorable, making people’s hearts melt at first glance.
White Wolf skillfully lay down on the floor, giving a shake, which made Xiao Bao tumble down. Xiao Bao happily crawled around on the carpet, feeling the warm-up was enough, then sat quietly on the carpet, his black eyes curiously watching the people in the room.
Xiao Bei seemed even more joyful.
She crawled quickly, spinning a dozen circles in no time, making Gu Qiaoqiao feel dizzy.
Gu Qiaoqiao noticed her daughter was vigorous and lively, whereas her son seemed much calmer.
Looking at the two cute and beautiful little kids, Yun Luo clapped her hands, exclaiming, "Oh my, I almost forgot the meeting gifts for the kids!"
Gu Qiaoqiao quickly waved her hand, "No need to be so formal. We’re not outsiders; why bother with meeting gifts?"
However, Sima Xiaowen disagreed, looking at Yun Luo with a playful smile, "Precisely because we’re not outsiders, that’s why meeting gifts are necessary."
This time Yun Luo didn’t argue with Sima Xiaowen but nodded in agreement, "Exactly, that’s the point. If it were others, I wouldn’t give anything." Then she looked at Sima Xiaowen, complaining, "You know I don’t understand much about these things; couldn’t you remind me?"
Sima Xiaowen looked at her amused, "Missy, how do I remind you of such things? But, you came empty-handed; what will you use as the meeting gift?"
Sima Xiaowen was also curious.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t know what to say.
In such a situation, sometimes it’s truly difficult to handle.
If she were to argue with someone, she’d definitely leave the other party speechless. But sometimes, when it came to saying something nice or making small talk, she just couldn’t do it. But considering from the Gu Family Ancestor’s perspective, Yun Luo wasn’t an outsider. So, there was no need for pleasantries.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart settled down.
Then she saw Yun Luo’s previously quiet eyes light up, and almost in the blink of an eye, two dazzling objects appeared in her palm.
It seemed this Yun Luo was the same as the family’s ancestor.
They both had a storage space to keep their belongings.
So they didn’t need to carry bags around, since their things were stored in the storage space.
But such things were not possible for people like Gu Qiaoqiao for the time being.
These two dazzling items, once taken out, immediately caught Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei’s attention.
Xiao Bei, who was crawling around, also stopped, watching the rainbow-like beautiful objects along with her brother sitting on the carpet.
Before giving the items to the children, Yun Luo was sure to tell their mother what they were for.
Yun Luo said cheerfully, "Qiaoqiao, your two little ones are really lucky; I thought I had already lost these two things."
Sima Xiaowen asked, "They look quite nice. What are they?"
"These are called the Glazed Realm. Once worn, if the owner encounters danger, the protection mechanism will automatically activate. I’m not exaggerating; it’s truly impervious to swords and guns, even bullets can’t penetrate, and it’s lifelong protection."
Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes lit up; this was indeed something good.
But she was a bit worried, "Yun Luo, these things are too pretty. How can the kids wear them? If they do, and others see it, it will surely attract attention."
Yun Luo said with some pride, "How could I let the kids wear them in such a way? That wouldn’t be protection; that would bring trouble to the kids..."
As she spoke, Yun Luo’s hands moved swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, those dazzlingly beautiful items became two silver bracelets, each with a pretty bell on it.
Yun Luo stood up from the sofa, fiddled with the bracelets, and at this moment, Sima Xiaowen and Gu Qiaoqiao also gathered around. Yun Luo first put one on Xiao Bao, then on Xiao Bei, explaining as she went along, "These two silver bracelets will automatically adjust in size as the children grow."
After putting them on, she looked them over and said cheerfully, "See, now there’s no problem, right?"
Then she boastfully added, "Come, let me show you."
Before Gu Qiaoqiao could stop her, Yun Luo suddenly produced a Sword of Light, like the one from earlier, then stepped back and swiftly thrust it towards Xiao Bao.
Even though she knew Yun Luo meant no harm and was just conducting an experiment, Gu Qiaoqiao was really startled. Whose kids aren’t their joy? Even knowing there was no danger, she couldn’t help being extremely worried.
That’s exactly how Gu Qiaoqiao felt at the moment.
Almost instinctively, she drew talismans in the air, and suddenly swords of ice appeared around Xiao Bao.
All sword tips pointed at Yun Luo.
Yun Luo felt speechless, and Gu Qiaoqiao was a bit embarrassed, while Sima Xiaowen was chuckling.
