The door to the hospital room was pushed open at that moment, and Nangong Xi looked up to see his mother walk in. A brilliant smile immediately spread across his little face, "Mommy!"
Tang Yuyan looked up and gave her son a gentle smile, "Xixi."
"Sister Qiangwei, you’re here too!"
Seeing Nangong Xi again, Gu Qiangwei felt an indescribable sense of closeness and warmth in her heart.
No wonder she liked Nangong Xi so much. It turned out that they were indeed biological siblings.
"Xixi, she has always been your sister, your biological sister. From now on, you don’t need to address her with the full name Qiangwei, understand?" Tang Yuyan patiently explained to her son.
But the little guy was somewhat confused, "Biological sister?"
Although he was only half-understanding, it didn’t matter how this ’biological sister’ came about, he was thrilled, "Does that mean that Sister and I are family now, and we can live together from now on!?"
Tang Yuyan was initially startled, then she looked up at Gu Qiangwei and glanced over at Qin Sijue by her side.
Although it was true that her daughter had gotten married as soon as they recognized each other, it shouldn’t be a big problem if she came back to live from time to time, right?
"We should... be able to, I guess," she said, not quite certain.
Because, it seemed that Qin Sijue’s expression had darkened considerably after her son’s words were spoken.
Nangong Feifei just watched, wide-eyed, as the family of four reunited, while she felt even more invisible in this family.
At this moment, Nangong He spoke up.
The couple turned their heads and looked at Nangong He at the same time, knowing that he must have many questions at this moment.
Actually, Nangong Mingchuan himself had many questions too. For twenty-three years, he had a daughter who was left outside, and he had been completely unaware.
"Dad, I’ll explain everything to you clearly," Tang Yuyan said, standing up and speaking calmly as she looked at Nangong He.
Nangong He nodded, "Let’s talk after you and Xixi have both recovered. There’s no rush."
Tang Yuyan agreed, then turned to look at Gu Qiangwei.
She felt she owed so much to her—since the moment Qiangwei was born, she hadn’t provided her with a biological father, and due to the events back then, Mingchuan hadn’t found her, which had led her to take the surname ’Gu’. Moreover, she had abandoned her for twelve years. Now, all she wanted was to make up for all that Qiangwei had missed as much as possible!
In the following days, Gu Qiangwei stayed in the hospital, keeping company with Tang Yuyan and Nangong Xi, taking the opportunity to get familiar with the family she had been a stranger to for twenty-two years.
The family talked happily together, except for Qin Sijue, who was silent and sullen. His deep eyes were ’fighting’ a covert battle with Nangong Xi!
The other person was Nangong Feifei. From beginning to end, it seemed that she had no part in the conversation, silently sitting on the side, watching Gu Qiangwei chatting and laughing with the family that should have been hers.
Jealousy grew thick in her heart, but there was nothing she could do about it!
"Sister! When I get discharged, will you come to live with us at home, please? We can share a room!"
Thinking about living together with Gu Qiangwei in the future made Nangong Xi incredibly excited!
Of course, he also intentionally made that comment for Qin Sijue to hear and even threw a smug look his way!
Qin Sijue felt a surge of irritation inside, and his handsome face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Gu Qiangwei looked at him but didn’t know how to respond to the question.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to move back, but she was well aware that with the Nangong family being such a large and illustrious clan, there would likely be a ’process’ to go through before officially recognizing her place in the family, right?
