Being reassured that way, Nangong Xi’s mood seemed to have improved a lot, and his previous fear instantly dissipated.
Gu Qiangwei smiled, and upon careful thought, she did indeed share many similarities with this little fellow.
Qin Sijue, on the side, suddenly harbored an impossible notion in his heart upon seeing the two chat so merrily.
Their similarities were not limited to those aspects, there was another commonality, which was the "Demon’s Blood."
Nangong Xi was Nangong Mingchuan’s son, which meant that, like Nangong Feifei, he might have inherited the Demon’s Blood.
However, this couldn’t be determined yet because the Demon’s Blood might be inherited by some and not by others.
But in the Qin Family, it had been passed down from generation to generation.
His deep gaze fell on Gu Qiangwei’s face. Why did she have the Demon’s Blood in her veins?
And who exactly were her biological parents?
"By the way, did your mommy know you came here all by yourself?"
Gu Qiangwei suddenly asked as she looked at Nangong Xi.
Caught off guard by her question, the little fellow then remembered that he had been away from home for quite a while, and his mommy must be looking for him everywhere by now.
As he was thinking this, a voice came from the doorway.
The three of them turned their heads and, sure enough, saw Tang Yuyan standing at the doorway to the hospital room, anxiously looking at Nangong Xi.
"How could you come here and not tell me? Mommy’s been looking for you for ages, do you know that?"
Facing his mother’s reprimand, the little guy’s head hung down in a show of contrition.
His own dear son, Tang Yuyan couldn’t bear to truly scold him, but she had indeed been terrified a moment ago, having searched high and low for him without success.
Thinking he might have come to see Gu Qiangwei, she had come here on the off chance to try her luck and indeed found her son was here.
Seeing her, Gu Qiangwei spoke and called out to her.
At the sound of her voice, Tang Yuyan seemed a bit taken aback.
She had thought that after the incident with Nangong Feifei, Gu Qiangwei would reject her and her son.
Looking up, she saw Gu Qiangwei with a faint smile hanging at the corner of her mouth.
"You, are you feeling okay?"
She shook her head, "I’m already all right."
Tang Yuyan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as she looked at her with a slight smile, "That’s good to hear."
Qin Sijue, who had been by their side, maintained an expressionless face from beginning to end, still carrying his air of aloofness.
Compared with Gu Qiangwei, however, he just couldn’t find it in himself to dis mother and son pair, despite knowing they were from the Nangong Family, and despite knowing that the gunshot wound to his chest had come from Nangong Feifei, he simply couldn’t bring himself to dislike Tang Yuyan.
"Mommy, I have to tell you, Sister Qiangwei also has acrophobia like me, we’re really so alike!"
As if remembering something all of a sudden, Nangong Xi turned, looking up at Tang Yuyan excitedly.
Tang Yuyan paused, seemingly also surprised, "Really?"
After a glance at her son, Tang Yuyan looked back toward Gu Qiangwei, "You and Xi, you really do look alike."
Gu Qiangwei smiled, "I think so too."
The two of them exchanged smiles, each sensing a mysterious emotion stirring within their hearts, yet neither of them knew where that mysterious emotion stemmed from.
"You should rest now."
Gu Qiangwei seemed to want to say something more, but was interrupted by Qin Sijue.
Raising her eyes, she met his stern black ones.
Having looked at Qin Sijue, Tang Yuyan understood that he probably didn’t want her and her son to stay there any longer, so after glancing at Gu Qiangwei, she spoke softly, "Qiangwei, get some good rest, I’ll come... to see you another day."
