Chapter 813: Chapter 814: Meeting Nangong Xi
June was gradually heating up.
Lately, Gu Qiangwei hadn’t gone anywhere, staying at home and enjoying the air conditioning.
Being six months pregnant, she seemed to feel the heat more than most people; as soon as she left the air-conditioned room, she’d be drenched in sweat.
However, lately, other than staying at home and enjoying the air conditioning, there didn’t seem to be much else for her to do.
Huo Yishan had also gone to Country A to attend Li Yuan’s 28th birthday banquet. Originally, she and Qin Sijue had been invited as well, but with her heavily pregnant and about to give birth in less than a month, Qin Sijue couldn’t be at ease leaving her alone, and he didn’t plan to go. But Gu Qiangwei felt that Li Yuan was his only close brother, and it would be a pity if he didn’t attend.
Moreover, this was not just Li Yuan’s birthday banquet – it was said to be his engagement party, too, and the Li Family’s inheritance rights would also be transferred to him on this day.
At Gu Qiangwei’s insistence, Qin Sijue could only agree to go.
To leave with a little more peace of mind, he even made a special trip to Nangong Villa to fetch Tang Yuyan to take care of her, so that she would not be so bored at home.
At five o’clock in the afternoon, Tang Yuyan went to the school to pick up her son.
Thinking that she hadn’t seen her younger brother for a long time, Gu Qiangwei decided to join Tang Yuyan.
Since Qin Sijue was not at home, it was a rare opportunity for her to breathe some fresh air. Fortunately, it had rained the day before, which made the weather not so hot today, but rather a touch cooler.
Because her belly was growing larger and larger, Qin Sijue treated her as if she were a precious jewel. He knew she was bored being at home but dared not let her go out, fearing any little accident.
At the school gates, at five-thirty, the setting sun was gradually sinking.
"Xixi!"
When she saw her son emerging from the school, Tang Yuyan, standing at the gates, immediately waved to him.
Nangong Xi looked up and saw his mother and sister standing at the school entrance; he started running excitedly, "Mommy, Sister!"
"Xixi." Seeing her younger brother, Gu Qiangwei also smiled happily.
The little guy looked up, "Sister, why did you come today?"
Gu Qiangwei couldn’t help but cup his little cheek, "Because your sister missed you."
"Hee hee, I missed Sister too!"
"Let’s hurry home, Sister will stay at our house tonight." Holding her son’s hand, Tang Yuyan didn’t dare to linger there any longer because there were exceptionally many parents and students at the school gates at this time. If anything happened to her daughter here, even as her biological mother, she would not be able to take responsibility in front of Qin Sijue.
"Really!?"
Hearing that his sister would stay overnight, the little guy was thrilled.
"Of course, it’s true. Let’s go, head home!"
"Ok!" The little guy cheered and jumped onto the car.
They arrived at Nangong Villa on the way, and by the time they got home, it was already past six.
Although dinner was being prepared by the maids, there were some things that Tang Yuyan wanted to do herself, considering Gu Qiangwei’s pregnancy.
"Sister, I’ll finish my homework first, then I’ll play with you, ok?"
"Okay." Gu Qiangwei smiled, watching her brother already hunched over the coffee table working on his homework, and couldn’t help but feel emotional.
Traveling abroad might be fun, but it didn’t compare to the warm times spent with family.
Outside the window, a sprinkling of reddish-orange light spilled in through the glass.
Turning her head on the sofa, when Gu Qiangwei saw the beautiful sunset, she couldn’t resist standing up and walking toward the backyard.
Not far away, under an ancient-style pavilion, there was a crescent-shaped swing chair. She walked over, reclined in it, and admired the rare beauty of the sunset.
