Looking at her hands covered in scars, he spoke softly, his eyes filled with tenderness and indulgence.
Gu Qiangwei smiled and shook her head, "It doesn’t hurt anymore."
At the door, Butler Qin walked in, looked at everyone respectfully, and bowed before lifting his head and saying, "Everyone, the master invites you downstairs for dinner."
Soon after hearing Butler Qin’s voice, the entire Nangong family went downstairs.
Although Gu Qiangwei was injured, it was just superficial, so it didn’t prevent her from joining everyone for dinner downstairs.
With her insistence, Qin Sijue didn’t say anything else.
Today, Jueyuan was truly bustling with activity, but of course, compared to Nangong He, who had lost his granddaughter, he couldn’t bring himself to feel happy.
Yet, to avoid ruining the harmonious atmosphere, he tried his best to blend in with them.
After having dinner, it was already 8:40 pm, and the Nangong family was ready to take Nangong Feifei’s body back with them.
In the backyard, looking at his granddaughter’s body, Nangong He felt heartbreakingly sad, but then he thought that perhaps this was Feifei’s destiny. Without hatred and strife, maybe this was her most peaceful resting place.
Before leaving, little Nangong Xi suddenly didn’t want to go.
"Mommy, I want to stay here, to accompany Sis!"
Tang Yuyan lowered her head to look at her son, "No, Sis has to recover from her injuries and take care of the baby in her belly, she won’t have time to look after you."
"I don’t need Sis to look after me, I can take care of myself!" Nangong Xi insisted, determined to stay at Jueyuan.
Looking at her brother, Gu Qiangwei smiled and then looked up at her mother, "Why not let Xixi stay? I’m bored staying at home alone all day."
Being alone in Jueyuan all day, if she could have Xixi with her, naturally it would be much better.
When Gu Qiangwei said this, the little guy became even more eager to stay!
"Exactly! I can stay and keep Sis company, besides, I’m big enough now, I can take care of her!"
Tang Yuyan glanced at her son and couldn’t help but look at Qin Sijue.
It was said that Qiangwei was supposed to stay at the Commander Residence under the personal care of Old Mrs. Qin, but because Qin Sijue was unhappy with the disturbance to their world for two, she was then brought back to Jueyuan.
If Xixi stayed as a third wheel, surely Qin Sijue wouldn’t be pleased, right?
Just as she lifted her gaze, she saw Qin Sijue frowning slightly, staring at his son with a look on his face that clearly showed his reluctance to have Xixi stay.
"Your Sister has your brother-in-law to take care of her, go home with Mommy."
"No, I want to stay!" Saying this, the little guy let go of Tang Yuyan’s hand and ran to Gu Qiangwei’s side, grabbing her hand tightly, appearing determined to stay.
Gu Qiangwei looked at her brother and said with a smile, "Mom, let him stay and keep me company. I want to spend a few days with Xixi too."
Perhaps because she was pregnant and injured, the words that Qin Sijue had on the tip of his tongue couldn’t come out.
Usually, he might have simply said, "Having me with you is enough."
But today he didn’t speak and knew they were siblings with a deep bond.
Seeing that he remained silent from start to end, Tang Yuyan also didn’t insist any further.
Even Nangong Mingchuan, who was nearby, spoke up, thinking it would be good for his son to stay and keep his daughter company, "Let Xixi stay."
Tang Yuyan turned her head, looked at her husband, and finally nodded before caressing her son’s smooth head, "You can’t trouble your sister, okay? She’s pregnant, and you mustn’t touch her belly, understand?"
