Chapter 618: Family Warmth
Translator: _Min_ |
s.h.i.+ Nuan’s mother gently took Gu Dai’s hand, patting it lightly while smiling, “Grandfather s.h.i.+ often talks about you. When you have time, come visit us with Nuannuan.”
Feeling a pang of guilt for neglecting Grandfather s.h.i.+ due to her busy schedule, Gu Dai nodded eagerly, “Yes, I’ll definitely visit Grandfather s.h.i.+ once I’m done with my current tasks!”
Seeing Gu Dai’s guilty expression, s.h.i.+ Nuan’s mother quickly rea.s.sured her, “Your grandfather understands that you young ones are busy building your careers. He doesn’t blame you for not visiting; he just misses you.”
Gu Dai nodded in understanding, “I get it.”
After chatting a bit more, s.h.i.+ Nuan’s mother reluctantly got into the car and left.
Meng Zhi watched the car disappear, his gaze lingering long after they were gone.
Noticing Meng Zhi’s distracted state, Gu Dai teased, “Third Brother, you look so out of it, I’m starting to think your heart left with Nuannuan.”
Meng Zhi coughed awkwardly, quickly changing the subject, “Auntie and Uncle were really looking forward to seeing you and Su Ting. Let’s go inside.”
Gu Dai and Su Ting nodded in agreement, “Okay.”
Gu Dai missed her parents too, but before entering the house, she had something to say to Meng Zhi, “Third Brother, you should really make time for Nuannuan these days.”
Meng Zhi didn’t hesitate, nodding firmly, “Of course, I’ll spend time with Nuannuan. If it weren’t for the fact that we’re not married yet, I’d stick by her side 24 hours a day!”
Gu Dai shook her head in amus.e.m.e.nt, never having imagined her free-spirited brother could become so clingy in love.
As Meng Zhi processed Gu Dai’s remarks, he suddenly became serious and asked, “Daidai, why are you suddenly insisting on this? Did something happen?”
Gu Dai hesitated, then decided not to burden Meng Zhi with her concerns just yet, “Nothing happened. It’s just that it’s your first relations.h.i.+p, and I didn’t want you to neglect Nuannuan.”
Meng Zhi patted his chest, confidently replying, “Don’t worry about me, Daidai. I’m a natural at this love thing!”
Gu Dai nodded, half-heartedly praising him, “That’s great!”
As they were talking, Gu Dai’s father and mother came out to greet them, saying eagerly, “Come in, come in! Why are you still standing at the door? Let’s see if you’ve gotten hurt.”
Hearing the commotion, Xu Huan also came out, “Is it Daidai and Su Ting who have returned?”
Gu Dai quickly responded, and she and Su Ting headed towards the house.
Meng Zhi sighed as he watched Gu Dai’s retreating figure, sensing that she was hiding something.
But what could it be?
Gu Dai and Su Ting were showered with care by their family until late into the night before they could finally retire to their room.
Seeing the fatigue on Su Ting’s face, Gu Dai suggested, “Let’s rest early tonight. Mom and Dad are just concerned about us, and you might need some time to get used to it.”
Su Ting’s eyes sparkled as he replied, “I can get used to it, and I’m really happy.”
Gu Dai was surprised, “Hmm?”
Su Ting explained with a smile, “Since I was little, I’ve dreamed of having a family that would care about me. Now, it’s finally come true!”
Gu Dai felt a pang of empathy as she looked at Su Ting.
He gently smoothed her furrowed brow, “Don’t feel bad for me. I did experience some family warmth as a child. We all called the orphanage director ‘Mom,’ and she cared about us a lot. It’s just that there were so many kids, she couldn’t attend to everything.”
He continued softly, “But I did feel warmth when I was young.”
Gu Dai softly asked, “Is the director…?”
Su Ting knew what she wanted to ask and answered with a smile, “The director is still alive but needs to rest due to her age. She asks us not to disturb her often, except during specific times of the year when we visit her.”
Gu Dai nodded, then asked, “Next time you visit her, can I come with you?”
Su Ting nodded enthusiastically, “Of course! The Director will be very happy to meet you!”
