Love You for the Rest of My Life novel Chapter 458

Chapter 458: Chapter 459: Not Selling Pity

After finishing their meal, Gu Qibao felt slightly stuffed, so she suggested taking a walk in the streets before they drove home.

Di Mingjue readily agreed.

Hand in hand, they openly strolled down the street. It was already late evening.

Gu Qibao was stepping on a flower pot stand, her hands lifted high as she tried to balance herself while laughing heartily.

"Would you like to buy some flowers, sir?" a little girl selling roses asked Di Mingjue shyly.

"How much are they?" Mingjue asked her.

"Twenty each, but it’s cheaper if you buy ten." The little girl looked at Mingjue with hopeful eyes.

Gu Qibao jumped off the flower pot, "We’ll take your entire basket, can you count how many you have?"

"Really?" The little girl was ecstatic at once.

"Yes," Gu Qibao nodded then turned to Mingjue, "Do you mind, dear?"

"Not at all." Mingjue pat her on the head.

Next to the little girl stood a woman who was holding a baby. Seeing the generous couple, she quickly nodded her head in appreciation, "Thank you both."

"Is she your child?" Gu Qibao pointed at the little girl.

"Yes," The woman nodded, sadness evident in her eyes, "Her father is ill and we no longer have any source of income while I’ve just had a baby. We have no choice but to sell flowers at night to make ends meet."

Mingjue appreciated her integrity. He gently nodded and said politely, "I apologize for being presumptuous."

"No, not at all." The woman offered a shy smile, "You’re too kind, sir. It was my mistake. Thank you both, and may you remain in good health."

Gu Qibao nodded. She quite liked this woman, she couldn’t help but play with the baby in her arms.

The woman freely handed the baby to Gu Qibao, smiling as she said, "Would you like to hold him?"

Gu Qibao was taken aback, "Can I?"

"Of course." The woman placed the baby in Gu Qibao’s arms.

Gu Qibao was suddenly dumbfounded. No matter how she held him, it didn’t seem right. She was so afraid she’d drop the child.
