Chapter 428: Chapter 429: The Complexity at the Bottom of the Heart

Seeing no hint of happiness on her face, Nangong Xi couldn’t help feeling a bit dejected, "Sister, don’t you like the porridge my mommy made?"

But Gu Qiangwei seemed as if she hadn’t heard Nangong Xi’s voice at all, her clear and dark eyes fixed on Tang Yuyan throughout.

Tang Yuyan certainly noticed her change in expression and couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong?"

Gu Qiangwei stared at her for a long time, if she was her mother, why didn’t she recognize her at all when she saw her.

And why didn’t she come back for her, leaving her alone at the Gu Family.

She hung her head, feeling somewhat oppressed.

"It’s nothing, just that... the porridge you made is delicious, it has the taste of my mom’s."

"Right, right!? The preserved egg and lean pork porridge my mommy makes is the best in the world!" Hearing her say that, the little guy immediately raised his hands in agreement and approval!

However, upon seeing Gu Qiangwei’s gloomy face, the smile on his face stiffened.

What’s wrong with Sister Qiangwei? She seems... unhappy.

Staring at her, Tang Yuyan also fell into a daze.

The complexity at the bottom of her heart, where does it come from?

"Thank you."

After calming her own emotions, Gu Qiangwei looked up, glanced at Tang Yuyan, and softly expressed her thanks.

Tang Yuyan smiled, "It’s okay."

The hospital room suddenly fell silent.

Huo Yishan looked from Gu Qiangwei to Tang Yuyan, what’s with these two?

"Sister Qiangwei, you should eat the porridge while it’s hot, it won’t taste good once it gets cold!" Seeing Gu Qiangwei, Nangong Xi spoke up again.

He wished he could bring all the best things in the world to share with Gu Qiangwei!

Gu Qiangwei raised her head and smiled at him, "Okay."

She wasn’t very hungry, as she had just had breakfast not long ago, but she didn’t want to break the pleasant expectation Nangong Xi had.

She opened the insulation jar, and instantly, a strong fragrance wafted through, filling the entire ward and completely overshadowing the pungent smell of disinfectant.

A ringtone from a mobile phone broke Gu Qiangwei’s motion, she paused and looked towards the source of the sound.

It was Tang Yuyan’s phone.

She pulled out her phone, gave a sheepish smile towards Gu Qiangwei, "I’ll take this call."

Saying so, she got up and walked aside, "Hello?"

"Right now?"

"Okay, I’ll be right back."

Unsure of what the other party said, Tang Yuyan hung up the call and then turned to Gu Qiangwei, "I have some things to take care of at home, so I’m leaving for now, I’ll come to see you another day."

Hearing that she was going to leave, Gu Qiangwei naturally stood up.

"Xi, we have to go home for a bit, okay?"

Having arrived and soon having to leave, Nangong Xi was somewhat disheartened.

"Let’s go quickly!" Yet Tang Yuyan seemed quite in a hurry, leaving in a rush, pulling her son along.

As she watched the mother and son leave, Gu Qiangwei did not immediately eat the porridge but rather lost her appetite.

Huo Yishan noticed the unease on her face, "Qiangwei, what’s really going on with you?"

She glanced up at her friend, smiled faintly, and looked a bit listless, "I’m fine, I just thought of my mom."

Hearing this, Huo Yishan’s expression also became somber as she knew that Qiangwei had been searching for her mother for many years, but to no avail.

She couldn’t help but reach out to hold Gu Qiangwei’s hand, as if offering some comfort.

Gu Qiangwei of course knew she was showing concern and she smiled with pursed lips.

"Let’s eat the porridge! Such highly praised porridge really won’t taste good if it’s cold." Pulling herself together from the emotional turmoil, Gu Qiangwei shrugged and saw the delicious sparerib soup and lean pork porridge on the coffee table.
