Chapter 1496 - 1498

Gong Ruini enjoyed a soothing bath, it was delightful.

So delightful it made one want to sing.

"Bathing is relaxing, but it sure makes you hungry." Gong Ruini said as she walked to the kitchen in her robe.

Anyway, there’s no one else home at the moment. Gong Ruzhi promised to take Wan Yihui out for a stroll, and since no one opposed the plan, they should’ve left by now.

Wait, why are there sounds of crying in the house? This startled Gong Ruini quite a bit.

What’s going on? Could it be that the house is haunted? This startled Gong Ruini quite a bit.

No, that’s not right. We’ve been living here for quite a while and have never encountered anything like this.

Gong Ruini pondered, could it be that they didn’t go out?

But that’s not right; weren’t they supposed to leave like they were lying?

Gong Ruzhi, that kid, has money, even if he’s still in school, Dai Liren pays him a salary.

Gong Ruini and Zhao Xuran never asked Gong Ruzhi for living expenses, basically, he only bought some food and drinks for home.

So even if he doesn’t need money from Gong Ruzhi, the guy still has the means to take Wan Yihui out for a stroll.

As for Wan Yihui’s living expenses, Gong Ruini wasn’t clear on how much pocket money he brought this time, but Cai Ming probably didn’t give him much cash.

Gong Ruini gently pushed open Gong Ruzhi’s room door, and the sound of crying only grew louder.

Unexpectedly, she found Wan Yihui sitting on Gong Ruzhi’s bed, crying sadly.

Gong Ruini was puzzled, could it be her cold attitude today? "What’s the matter."

"I don’t know either." Gong Ruzhi assumed Wan Yihui would cry for a bit, never expecting him to cry for so long.

Although Gong Ruzhi wasn’t very good at comforting people, he’d watched Zhao Guangran do it, so he attempted to copy.

But it really wasn’t effective, as Wan Yihui continued crying.

"I don’t understand how he can have so many tears." Ever since Gong Ruini got pregnant, Gong Ruzhi had seen his sister cry countless times.

But in his memory, none were this long.

"How long has he been crying?" Hearing Gong Ruzhi’s words made Gong Ruini anxious, wondering why a man would cry for so long.

"And why is he crying?" Gong Ruini sighed, although she didn’t think she was at fault, she wanted to understand at least a bit.

Gong Ruzhi looked perplexed, shook his head, but still recounted the previous conversation, "Sis, I wasn’t wrong, right."

Looking pitifully at Gong Ruzhi, the latter nodded affirmatively, it truly wasn’t wrong.

Since class hasn’t started yet, of course he’s trying harder to improve his English rather than relying on someone to tutor him.

For now she might be able to help a little, but after she gives birth, her focus along with Zhao Xuran’s will be on the child.

Especially with an uncertain child situation, Gong Ruini could foresee why he might prioritize Wan Yihui.

As for Gong Ruzhi, Gong Ruini didn’t think he’d devote all his energy to Wan Yihui, nor would anyone else devote all their energy to someone else.

"Let him cry?" Not that nobody advised him, but it was futile, Gong Ruini pondered and suggested something rather unsympathetic.

What, just ignore him? How could one do that? Gong Ruzhi looked disapprovingly at Gong Ruini.

See, she gave a suggestion and earned a cold-hearted label, "Then what’s your plan."

"Let me clarify first, I don’t have the ability to comfort people." If it were a beauty, Gong Ruini might reconsider a bit.

She yawned, "I’ll get some food first."

"Crying also takes energy, don’t you want to prepare some food and drinks for your good buddy?" Gong Ruini suggested as someone experienced.

Preparing food, alright, looking at Wan Yihui, he must have nearly exhausted his strength.

Quickly following Gong Ruini out, leaving Wan Yihui in the room expecting continued comfort.

Why is it different from expectations, why didn’t Sister Ni comfort him, what’s going on here.

Thinking this, Wan Yihui felt even more aggrieved, could it be even Gong Ruini thinks poorly of him?

Gong Ruini thought they would stop crying after leaving, but unexpectedly he continued.

This made Gong Ruini, who was about to say someone was pretending, quite fearful. Lucky she didn’t say anything about Wan Yihui, or she’d be embarrassed, deeply embarrassed.

"Sis, what do you think I should do?" Gong Ruzhi placed food in the pan to heat, then poured himself a cup of coffee to sip.

Actually, Gong Ruzhi was already a bit reluctant to return to his room, though indeed his good buddy, yet with all the crying, he felt like he might crumble.

Especially upon reaching the kitchen, while he still heard crying, it wasn’t as loud, allowing him to exhale deeply.

Asking her what to do? Gong Ruini expressed she truly didn’t know, shrugging her shoulders, "You wouldn’t agree with my advice."

Since it would be rejected anyway, Gong Ruini really didn’t feel the need to contemplate solutions.

Disagreeing is one thing, but he still needs hints, Gong Ruzhi puckered his lips, "Sis, you don’t love me anymore."

Hehehe, now trying to act cute, Gong Ruini turned away from her brother, "Aren’t you grown up now, don’t you have your own ideas."

"Don’t you know what to do, then figure it out yourself." Gong Ruini downed the orange juice in her cup in one go, then took snacks intending to go to the study.

Such bothersome matters shouldn’t concern a pregnant woman, "Pregnant women shouldn’t worry too much."

"I don’t want to give birth to a child that’s encountered all sort of frustrating things while in the womb."

"A child like that would be unhappy." Right now she’s the empress, she’s the Old Buddha, who dares to have opinions about her.

Immediately, many people would stand up to fiercely berate Gong Ruzhi.

Gong Ruzhi wanted to grab Gong Ruini, to apologize, he realized that although she hadn’t been angry this morning, it wasn’t that she wasn’t upset, but she didn’t want arguments ruining their moods.

No, it should be that sister didn’t plan on dealing with him, just watching him progress on his own.

Thinking of the future when sister wouldn’t manage him, just letting him develop freely, Gong Ruzhi felt genuinely anxious.

"Sis, well, I’m sorry."

"I shouldn’t have lost my temper with you."

"Sis, my dear sister." Gong Ruzhi caught up with Gong Ruini, affectionately hooked her arm, repeatedly apologizing.

Also deliberately used a baby voice, Gong Ruzhi knew his sister really liked him speaking in that tone.

When younger, Gong Ruzhi would intentionally speak like that because his sister liked it, but since feeling himself grown up, he rarely used that tone anymore.

Hmph, thinking he could use a baby voice to charm her? Gong Ruini arrogantly flung away someone’s hand, "I’m a person with principles."

Hmph, thinking two sentences would earn her forgiveness? Definitely a pipe dream.

"Right right, my sister is absolutely a person with principles." Gong Ruzhi thick-skinned continued hooking Gong Ruini’s arm.

"I will seriously write a review." Making mistakes means writing a review, it’s ingrained in Gong Ruzhi’s core.

Hehehe, a review? Gong Ruini doubted the efficacy of review writing, isn’t it true that while he avoids big mistakes, he’s constantly making small ones?

Still, with him so proactive, we shouldn’t let him be disappointed.

"Since you’ve realized your mistake, then work hard on writing, the mistakes must be seriously and deeply pointed out."

Ahhh, no way, Gong Ruzhi was dumbfounded, remembering his sister used to really dislike so-called review writing.

Recall that when some brother-in-law asked him to write one, sister kept saying they were useless things nearby.

Sigh, seems like she’s truly upset, Gong Ruzhi felt quite dispirited, meeting his sister’s demands for the review meant really high expectations.

At this moment, Gong Ruzhi regretted why he’d spoken so callously before.
