Chapter 869 - 871: Confession (6)
"Gou Dan’er, where did you go? How could you just run off like that? Didn’t you think to tell your sister?" Cai Wei sternly asked.
Gou Dan’er licked his lips and stretched out his little hand from behind his back, offering it to Cai Wei: "Sister, this is for you!"
In his small palm lay a crudely made jade hairpin, its material cloudy and yellowed, clearly of inferior quality jade.
"Where did this come from?"
Cai Wei did not take the hairpin but stared at him with a serious expression.
Gou Dan’er had never seen Sister Cai Wei look so stern before. Startled, he licked his lips and timidly said, "Sister, I bought it with the silver you gave us last time. Grandpa bought me candy, but I saved it all to buy this hairpin for you..."
The little boy’s eyes were bright, tinged with timidity, yet he did not look down; instead, he gazed sincerely at her. His little hand, still halfway lifted, held the hairpin as if it were the most precious thing in the world, stubbornly and firmly in front of Cai Wei.
A warmth filled Cai Wei’s heart; she took the crude hairpin and examined it closely.
Truth be told, both the craftsmanship and material of this hairpin were subpar, undoubtedly the worst among Cai Wei’s jewelry collection. However, in Gou Dan’er’s eyes, this hairpin was expensive, bought with all his money, thus it was excellent.
At an age when Gou Dan’er should be lavish with his cravings, he managed to save money from his own indulgences to buy something nice for his benefactor. This showed he was a thoughtful child, grateful and kind-hearted; she hadn’t helped him in vain!
"Sister, does it look good?"
