Chapter 1500 - 1502

Gong Ruini lies in bed, feeling comfortable, except for her stomach starting to protest non-stop, which Gong Ruini finds quite bothersome.

She turns over and opens the bedside cabinet to see if there is anything tasty inside.

Ever since getting pregnant, Gong Ruini has gotten into the habit of putting some snacks and drinks inside so she can grab something to eat directly upon waking up at night, sparing a certain hardworking Zhao Xuran from having to get up to prepare food.

Although Zhao Xuran thinks that eating those biscuits and bread isn’t as good as him getting fresh hot food from the kitchen, he can’t resist his wife’s insistence and can only allow it.

After eating two biscuits, Gong Ruini finally feels herself recovering.

Having eaten, Gong Ruini’s mood improves considerably, and she wonders how a certain brat is being educated right now.

"What, can’t I go out?" Opening the bedroom door, Gong Ruini hears some voice of dissatisfaction.

Oh my, the fact that a certain kid is still roaring shows that the talk hasn’t gone smoothly, or rather, there’s been no progress.

Gong Ruini is curious why Wan Yihui is complaining about not being allowed to go out. Could it be Zhao Xuran forbidding Wan Yihui from going out?

Gong Ruini fully supports this, as yesterday he said he was going out to work but came back around 2 or 3 in the morning.

Today, he already has major complaints about them, and can he come back on time?

Maybe switching perspectives, it should be asking if Wan Yihui even plans to come back.

New York is so big, finding someone who intentionally avoids you isn’t easy.

Moreover, will Wan Yihui stay in New York?

"You got up?" Although Zhao Xuran was staring at Wan Yihui, he immediately noticed Gong Ruini.

"Are you hungry?"

Gong Ruini nodded, "Hungry, I ate two packs of biscuits."

Upon hearing that she ate biscuits, Zhao Xuran disregards the tantrum-throwing brat and heads to the kitchen.

Leaving Wan Yihui in the living room to vent his various grievances.

Wan Yihui is truly stunned, "How can this be?"

Goodness, aren’t they discussing his problem? How come upon seeing Sister Ni, knowing she hasn’t had breakfast, he’s hurried to prepare food.

Excessive, truly excessively caring for Gong Ruini.

At least there should be some sense of priority; shouldn’t they first inquire about his situation?

"Eat something, so we have the energy to continue talking."

"We’ve got plenty of time." Gong Ruini, seeing Wan Yihui’s contorted expression, feels a bit strange.

Honestly, Gong Ruini is a bit afraid, what if the brat lays a hand on her, or just shoves her?

Gong Ruini has considered distancing herself from Wan Yihui, but she ultimately holds back from such thoughts.

If she displayed such distancing behavior right now, how would it appear to Wan Yihui, who’s already complaining that everyone isn’t taking him seriously.

Wan Yihui actually is also watching Gong Ruini, observing what she plans to do next.

In his view, Gong Ruini definitely wouldn’t want to sit beside him, seeing him as a big bad guy.

Unexpectedly, Gong Ruini walks over step by step, hmph, must be pretending.

Gong Ruini pulls Wan Yihui to sit down, "Let’s discuss things slowly."

"You know how worried everyone was yesterday?"

"You gave a vague reply about going out to work, without saying where you’d be working, leaving everyone wondering."

"You just arrived in New York; you don’t know anyone here. What if you get tricked?"

"We were tense all the time, especially since it was so late and you hadn’t returned, we couldn’t help but think more."

"We would wonder if you’d eaten, we’d worry if you were scared."

Hmph, listening to Gong Ruini, Wan Yihui wore a disdainful expression, dishonest, isn’t he thought of as just a gullible kid?

He’s not like Gong Ruzhi, that foolish lad, listening to whatever people say.

"Actually, we initially planned to educate you harshly when you returned."

"But later, we just worried about you."

"Perhaps our attitude wasn’t right last night, but if you saw your sibling return so late, with just a note left, how would you feel?"

"I, I guess I’d be angry." Wan Yihui knows he should say he wouldn’t be angry, but under Gong Ruini’s gaze, he reluctantly admits.

"See, you’d be angry too." Fortunately, this kid isn’t as incorrigible, at least he can speak honestly, there’s still hope.

"Oh, I am a genuine kid, but my brother went too far by locking the main door." Thinking about trying to go out early this morning, only to find the main door locked, Wan Yihui felt all sorts of annoyed.

Ah, locking the main door, otherwise Wan Yihui would have gone out, Gong Ruini paused, "What, planning to go out early and return late again?"

"Or did you not plan to return at all?" Gong Ruini is really upset.

"I, I really can’t go out." Wan Yihui got angry, though partly pretending, anyway, trying to muddle through.

"You can go out, but have you forgotten, we’re supposed to discuss things today." Gong Ruini’s face turned stern.

At this moment, she’s sure if the door wasn’t locked, they might wake to find he’s vanished.

"Uh, uh, I’ve got things to do." Oh my, didn’t expect Sister’s stern face to be so terrifying.

Frightened, Wan Yihui kept fiddling with his fingers, genuinely unable to face Gong Ruini.

Having things to do, "Xiao Zhi, check Xiao Hui’s luggage." Gong Ruini turns to instruct the somewhat stunned Gong Ruzhi.

Ah, check the luggage? Why luggage? Gong Ruzhi hesitated, then couldn’t believe it, "No way."

"You won’t know unless you check." Gong Ruini replied fiercely.

If it wasn’t as she guessed, things could be salvaged; otherwise, Gong Ruini feared she’d really lose it.

How could it be, actually as Gong Ruini spoke, Wan Yihui was already a bit stunned.

He wondered if Zhao Xuran would discover, but instead it was Gong Ruini, who’s been less sharp due to pregnancy, who found out.

Where’s the saying that pregnancy dulls the mind for three years, why is it not showing with Gong Ruini? Wan Yihui blamed whoever misled him, really excessively misleading.

Gong Ruzhi cautiously glanced at the already dumbfounded Wan Yihui, even if he acted the same emotionless before, years of brotherhood revealed something was off.

Sigh, his sibling, Gong Ruzhi even if wanting to defend him, after Dai Liren’s explanation yesterday, gave up this thought long ago.

Brothers are important, but so are the elder brother and sister-in-law; he can’t let his fleeting compassion put them in a bind.
