Chapter 757: Chapter 758 Grandma Is Not Feeling Well
“That’s good.” Hearing her say reassuringly, Nangong He also felt reassured.
Looking up, he noticed Nangong Mingchuan was absent, and Gu Qiangwei couldn’t help but ask, “Dad isn’t here today, even though it’s the weekend?”
“There’s some business at the company, and he’s still dealing with it, but he should be back soon. I told him you guys are going on a trip tomorrow, and if he misses this meal, it would be three months until the next one, so he hurriedly said he would definitely be back for lunch,” Tang Yuyan replied with a smile.
Gu Qiangwei smiled too, loving the warm feeling of the family gathered together, even just for a humble meal. She was always happy because having family meant having a home.
Soon enough, Nangong Mingchuan returned.
It wasn’t until he arrived that lunch officially began.
After lunch, Gu Qiangwei didn’t leave right away, as Nangong Xi kept pestering her to tell him stories.
Thinking that she would be away for three months starting tomorrow, Gu Qiangwei also wanted to stay a bit longer.
Qin Sijue had nothing else to do, so he naturally stayed with her.
However, after deciding to stay, he started to regret it…
“Sister, I want to hear this one!”
On the couch, Nangong Xi snuggled into Gu Qiangwei’s arms, leaning on her shoulder, looking at the Grimms’ Fairy Tales book she was holding.
Gu Qiangwei wrapped her arms around him, turned the page to the next story, and began telling it, “Once upon a time, there was a brother and sister. Their father had died, leaving them only with a stepmother who forced them to do hard labor and beat them every day…”
“I story! It’s about a brother and sister just like me and my sister!”
The world of a child might just be that simple and ordinary.
Gu Qiangwei laughed, “It’s not quite like us though. We have both mom and dad, but the siblings in the story are very pitiful.”
“Yes, you’ll understand once you’ve heard the rest.” ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet
Gu Qiangwei continued with the story, completely ignoring Qin Sijue beside her.
Qin Sijue sat on a single sofa diagonally opposite to her, watching her engrossed in her storytelling, feeling very bitter inside!
Just then, the little guy even deliberately tilted his chin at him, as if declaring something.
Clever boy, actually provoking him!
A thought flashed through his mind.
He casually took out his phone, pretending to play with it, then put it down after a while.
About five minutes later, his phone suddenly rang.
Knowing it was his phone, Gu Qiangwei instinctively stopped telling the story and looked up at Qin Sijue.
Since today was the weekend, and he had arranged all his work, she wondered who could be calling.
Answering the phone, Qin Sijue directly called out “Grandma,” making Gu Qiangwei fully believe it must be Zhuang Yanyan calling.
“Not feeling well? Have you seen the doctor?” Qin Sijue’s expression turned somber.
Hearing his conversation, Gu Qiangwei also started to feel nervous.
Could it be that Grandma is feeling unwell?
Still holding the Grimms’ Fairy Tales, she fixated her eyes tightly on Qin Sijue.
“Alright, I’ll come right over.”
Hanging up the phone, Qin Sijue looked up, his expression very solemn, “Grandma isn’t feeling well, I’m going over to check on her.”
Saying that, he started to get up.
Gu Qiangwei instinctively stood up, setting aside the storybook, “I’m coming too!”
Qin Sijue paused, hesitating for half a second before responding, “Okay!”
“What happened? What’s going on?”
