I Became the Favorite of Big Bosses

Chapter 166 Betrothal gift

Wei Lan shook her head, "I'm afraid I'll sleep too much at noon and won't be able to sleep at night."

Grandma Gu just asked casually and did not interfere in the younger generation's affairs.

Fang Xia of Gu Yang's family is going to give birth soon, and Aunt Gu needs someone to take care of her when she is lying on the bed. Gu Yang usually has to go to work and there is no one to take care of her at home, so Aunt Gu is worried.

Grandma Gu brought a matchbox to Gu Chao, then told You Lan a few words to ask her to look after the house, and went to Gu Yang's house with her sewing basket.

In the Gu family's backyard, Wei Lan twisted a wet towel and gently wiped the wounds on Gu Chao's face. She felt distressed on her face: "What happened? Made grandma so angry? Does it hurt?"

 The pain in her eyes could not be concealed. Gu Chao's heart softened and he shook his head gently, "It doesn't hurt."

How could it not hurt... Above the swollen red marks, you can faintly see the small blood spots trapped under the skin.

“What a fool. I hit you, but you don’t know how to hide?” Wei Lan pouted and turned away, a blush appeared in the corner of her eyes, and she looked like she was about to cry.

"Don't cry." Gu Chao didn't know what he said was wrong, so he moved a little closer to her.

Two people were sitting on a stone pier by the well. There was still room for a man to sit on each stone pier. Now there were two people sitting there. They moved closer and closer, and the distance between the two people became closer and closer.

Gu Chao's chest was pressed tightly against Wei Lan's back. He stretched out his hand forward, and Wei Lan nestled into his arms.

 “What time has it been and you’re still making trouble!”

"It's okay, look." Gu Chao let go of his hand, and clamped the fringe of the green cloth purse between his index finger and thumb, and the purse dangled in front of Wei Lan.

"What's this?"

Thinking it was a gadget that Gu Chao had brought to her, Wei Lan's eyes lit up, and the moment she stretched out her hand, the purse fell into her palm.

Gu Chao saw her hastily opening her purse, and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes, "Grandma gave it to you, see if you like it."

Wei Lan first took out a handful of seconds tickets. She frowned, not knowing what she meant, and squeezed again. There seemed to be something in her purse.

Wei Lan handed the money to Gu Chao and poured out the remaining items in his purse.

She pinched her purse with her index finger and thumb and shook it twice before a golden thing fell out and landed directly on her leg.

It is a gold lock with the four characters "long life" engraved on it.

Wei Lan picked up the longevity lock and realized that the longevity lock was heavy. The chain plus the lock must weigh six or seven taels?

 She weighed it and frowned.

Gu Chao took the longevity lock from her hand and hung it directly around her neck, "Eight or two, every male in the Gu family used to have one."

Our ancestors believed that the number eight was auspicious, so they gave every boy in the family a longevity lock of eight liang and eight, and the girl was given a silver lock of eight liang and eight.

　　Previously, the Gu family was robbed and punished, and all the family's wealth was wiped out. This longevity lock belonged to the Gu Dynasty, and Grandma Gu spent a lot of effort to secretly hide it.

 “Eight, eight two eight?”

Wei Lan's brain took half a beat to react. He opened his eyes wide in surprise and was speechless as he stared at the longevity lock hanging around his neck.

Hello guys, what’s the difference between eighty-eight and one kilogram?

The longevity lock is for children. Let’s not talk about the price of this longevity lock, let’s talk about the weight. Isn’t it afraid of breaking the child’s neck?

Wei Lan took off the longevity lock and put it back into her purse, then handed it back to Gu Chao, "This is too valuable, I can't take it."

 “Bride price.” Gu Chao shook his head and did not accept it.

"Betrothal gift?" Wei Lan's peach blossom eyes widened and she couldn't help but be slightly startled when she realized what Gu Chao was referring to. Then the tips of her ears felt hot and her face turned red.
