Chapter 1408: Chapter 1230: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Xia Dabao shyly smiled, "It’s all thanks to Aunt Jianxi’s good taste."

"You really have a way with words, Hong Lady, brew some tea," Lu Jianxi was accustomed to having some hot tea after waking up. Seeing this, Xia Dabao quickly said, "Let me do it."

She often made tea for her father at home.

Having a daughter is truly wonderful, Lu Jianxi thought, Xia Dabao really was endearing.

"Aunt Jianxi, do you have anything planned this afternoon? I hope I’m not disturbing you?" Xia Dabao asked. She had heard that the Dragon Tooth Gang was particularly busy, and since Lu Jianxi had to assist Long Three, she feared that her visit would prevent Lu Jianxi from attending to her own matters.

"These next two days are okay, but the day after I might be busy. However, if the gang’s business is light, I won’t have much to do. If you don’t mind being bored, you can just stay here and chat over tea with Jianxi. After Xiao’ai finishes his classes, you can go out and have fun with him. Young people should have fun with their peers," Lu Jianxi said.

Relieved to hear she was not a bother, Xia Dabao felt at ease. Her tea was ready, and she personally poured a cup for Lu Jianxi, which made Lu Jianxi very happy. She only wished Xia Dabao was her own daughter.

As they were enjoying their tea, Long Aixi suddenly came in.

"Xiao’ai, shouldn’t you be in class at this time? Why have you come here?" Lu Jianxi asked.

"Mother, I finished my homework unusually fast today, so the teacher allowed me to come home early," Long Aixi said.

He was carrying a box in his hands, and upon opening it, it was filled with various pieces of jewelry: jade hairpins, pearl hair clasps, necklaces, and the like, totaling over a dozen pieces.

This sight unexpectedly made Xia Dabao’s heart flutter.

Could they all be for her?

Indeed, Long Aixi spoke, "Mother, I just heard Lanlan mention that Dabao now has new clothes and a new hairstyle, but she lacks headgear. I went out and bought some for her. Do you think they’re suitable?"

"So it is jewelry," Lu Jianxi took the box and glanced again at Xia Dabao, indeed, from the moment she walked in, Lu Jianxi felt something was missing. It turned out to be the headgear.

Seeing so many pieces of fine jewelry, which surely cost a lot of money, Xia Dabao didn’t dare to accept them, merely hesitating, "Why not let Aunt Jianxi keep them? I can’t use so many, and buying this much must have been expensive."

"It didn’t cost much. These are all from my own New Year’s money that I had saved up before. Also, since you are visiting our home, I’d feel bad not giving you something. You should keep them," Long Aixi urged her.

Lu Jianxi also smiled: "These pieces of jewelry are something a young lady wears. I’m a mother already, and I can’t use such fancy things. Abao, since it’s a gift from Xiao’ai, you should keep them."

After saying this, Lu Jianxi picked a white jade hairpin and inserted it into Xia Dabao’s hair: "I remember your mother liked this type of hairpin. Just wear this one today, and we can change to a new one tomorrow."

Once she finished, Lu Jianxi looked her over from left to right, feeling quite satisfied, she then instructed Hong Lady, "Take this box back to Miss Dabao’s room."

Xia Dabao was deeply moved now. This mother and son were truly very warm.

Glancing at Long Aixi, she noticed he was still staring at her. She immediately turned her face away, feeling her ears burning.

...

That night, because Xia Dabao was going to take a bath, she took off the white jade hairpin.

She was about to place the hairpin on the table, but then she picked it up again and carefully examined it in front of herself.
