The red cord still hung from it, tied into a lover’s knot.

“So, are you satisfied?” Wei Jiaguo asked.

“Extremely satisfied!” The jade pendant had completely lived up to his expectations, even surpassing them by far.

He also found the jade hairpin quite attractive. Making a jade hairpin had been a spontaneous decision, but the finished product exceeded his expectations.

It seemed that the gold could be kept for a bit longer, to make a gold chain in the future.

After bidding farewell to Wei Jiaguo, Chu Mingcheng didn’t head straight home but went to buy some cotton and lightweight paper gift boxes and then 99 roses.

Although roses are pretty much useless, life would be boring if everything was bought with only practicality and value in mind.

Wasting a bit occasionally to get what one desires is necessary.

Upon returning to the apartment complex and stepping out of the elevator, Chu Mingcheng first checked the door to Jiang Luoluo’s home.

Seeing it was closed, he swiftly dashed back to his place with his belongings.

After closing his door, Chu Mingcheng chuckled as he placed the gifts in his room.

As soon as he finished, he heard noises coming from the stairs. Startled, he quickly went out and closed the door.

He saw three adorable kittens struggling to climb the stairs, the children of Xiao Mi.

By now, the kittens were able to run and jump, and were exceptionally naughty.

If these little troublemakers got into his room and accidentally knocked over the wooden box, he’d probably start entertaining the thought of sending the kittens back to the drawing board.

Xiao Mi had lately stopped carrying her children during the day, finding it troublesome, and would sneak out for whatever reasons!

Only when she was tired of playing or had enjoyed enough peace would she remember to come back.

Of course, her return was at a set time, either Chu Mingcheng or Jiang Luoluo would go down to fetch her every day at five in the afternoon.

By now the three kittens had climbed to the middle of the staircase. He went down, picked each one up, and brought them to Jiang Luoluo’s place.

Recently, she hadn’t taken a single day off and had turned down every small performance engagement, dedicating all her time to dance practice and video filming.

She intended to stock up on videos before returning to her hometown, so she could willfully enjoy herself at the end of the year.

Chu Mingcheng didn’t need to worry about his videos; he had plenty in reserve.

Even if he released one every three days, he had enough to last till year’s end, not to mention that he usually posted every five days.

“Luoluo, how long have you been practicing? Take a break!” Chu Mingcheng entered the dance studio, let the three kittens down and allowed them to roam freely.

“Oh my, you’ve brought Niu Nai, Xiao Bai, and Xiaoju over?” When Jiang Luoluo saw the three little cuties, her girlish heart overflowed, and she stopped practicing, immediately cuddling them in her arms.

When Chu Mingcheng wasn’t around, she was the one taking care of the kittens, so she had named them.

As for why the orange kitten was named Xiaoju, by her reasoning, the little orange would eventually become big orange, and to avoid confusion with a name change, she decided that would be its name.

In the beginning, she used to carry the kittens around with her, then became addicted to petting them and couldn’t concentrate on choreography and practice.

Afterward, she had to painfully leave the little cuties at Chu Mingcheng’s place and not bring them over, so as not to disrupt her work.

She would only go to play with the kittens when she was tired and resting.

“Luoluo, have you decided on the time? When are you planning to go back?”

“I’ll go back after New Year’s Day!” Jiang Luoluo had already planned the timing. Tomorrow, she would complete the last dance video of the year and then take a boat home.

The main reason was that Chu Mingcheng needed to sail back to his hometown and fish for yellow croakers during the period before New Year’s.

Yellow croakers were expensive at the year’s end!

Not earning that money would be a disservice to his profession.

After dinner and rest, Jiang Luoluo continued to practice in the dance studio, while Chu Mingcheng began his own plans.

He took out the three gift boxes he had bought, lined them with cotton, and placed the jade pendant and hairpin inside them, then added more cotton and wrapped them up.

Then he tied the gift boxes to the backs of the three kittens, securing them well.

The kittens, unaccustomed to the objects on their backs, seemed uncomfortable.

Yet, being forcibly stuffed into pet backpacks by Chu Mingcheng, they had no choice.

Xiao Mi seemed tired from playing and was sleeping soundly in her nest.

Since Chu Mingcheng didn’t need her today, he didn’t wake her up.

Holding the backpack in one hand and the roses in the other, he entered Jiang Luoluo’s home and arrived at the door of the dance studio.

He carefully opened the dance studio door slightly without disturbing Jiang Luoluo inside.

Then he took out Xiaoju and placed it inside the door.

Though not used to the gift box tied on its back, Xiaoju was very familiar with the dance studio and ran straight towards Jiang Luoluo as soon as it entered.

Jiang Luoluo noticed it in the mirror, stopped practicing, turned around, and crouched down to embrace it.

She had been wondering how Xiaoju had come in alone, but the moment she saw the gift box tied to its back, she realized what was happening.

A smile curved her lips as she untied the long gift box and opened it.

“A jade… hairpin?” She had expected Chu Mingcheng to prepare a little surprise, but it turned out to be a surprise plus a shock!

Jiang Luoluo, with her keen eye, immediately recognized the high quality of the white jade and its significant value.

“This silly boy, why would he buy something so expensive.”

Jiang Luoluo carefully put the jade hairpin back into the box, planning to urge Chu Mingcheng to return it.
