622 Things You Cant Buy (2/2)

When she said those words, Xin Zimen bit his tongue. He only recalled now why his wife didn't want to let their daughter play with those earrings. He had bought those for her as a very first gift with his very first salary. He seriously wanted to smack his own head. But it also filled his heart with warmth. This was the relationship between them. They never needed to proclaim their love to each other. Because they both knew very well about their position in other's life and heart.

'What can't be bought with money? The nanny said that money can buy everything.'

Both Xin Zimen and Wen Ai's eyes hardened at that remark from their daughter. Xin Zimen gave a snort, 'Looks like we need to change the nanny.'

Wen Ai didn't pay attention to her husband as she said to her daughter, 'Baby, do you love mommy and daddy?' The little girl nodded her head vigorously. 'You can't buy mommy and daddy with money. Just like that, there are some feelings in this world that we can't buy with money. Because love is not a bargain. Love is unconditional and love is priceless.'

The little girl pursed her lips and asked, 'So is mommy and daddy's love for baby is priceless? No one can take it from mommy? Not even this little devil?'

Xin Zimen kissed her face saying, 'No. No one can take this love. Mommy and daddy only love their baby.'

'If baby can't have mommy's, baby wants her own earrings.'

Xin Zimen chuckled at her innocence as he reminded, 'But baby can't wear it.'

The little girl stubbornly insisted, 'Mommy's ear has a hole so she can wear it. Baby will also get it.' Then she placed her hands on her father's face as she usually did and went on, 'Ah-Xin, get those for baby as well.'

Wen Ai tried to dissuade her saying, 'No. It's painful.'

The little girl jutted her bottom lip out and pouted pitifully before blinking her eyes at Xin Zimen. Even at this age, she knew how to break her father's defenses. Well, not like he had any defenses against her. 'Okay. But isn't baby scared of pain?'

The little girl nodded her head but her sudden impulse got the best of her as she said, 'Then Ah-Xin needs to get one as well.'

'Huh? Why me?' Xin Zimen didn't know how he got stuck in this.

'If Ah-Xin will get one, baby won't feel pain.'

Seeing the smile brightening the little girl's face, Xin Zimen was so fascinated that he couldn't help nodding in agreement. It was just piercing his ears. No big deal at all! He could even pierce his heart for this apple of his eyes!

As Xin Zimen's eyes opened in his bedroom, he was left staring at the ceiling blankly. His hand lifted to touch his pierced ears. He usually didn't take off the pair of earrings that his daughter chose for him personally but it had been a couple of months he was avoiding it for some reason.
