Chapter 2191: Introducing Lady Qingqing to Nephew and Niece

Turning his head, he stared at Gu Zhiqi for a long time, before finally saying nothing, just gently replying, "Then, I’ll leave it to my girlfriend."

Gu Zhiqi: "No problem."

Su Yunling’s lips curved into a slight smile, he didn’t say another word, just silently tightened his grip on Gu Zhiqi’s hand, leading her step by step towards the city gate.

The battle had gone on all day, and now it was sunset, with the sunlight a shade of orange beneath the setting sun.

Their figures moved slowly in the sunset.

**

Quite a few people in the city were waiting there, and as soon as they saw Gu Zhiqi and Su Yunling entering the city, they rushed up to greet them.

The two responded to each one.

Finally, they managed to make their way through the crowd to stand before Jin Huaqing, Gu Mingyu, and Gu Mojue.

Seeing them approach, smiles appeared on the faces of Gu Mingyu and Gu Mojue.

Jin Huaqing immediately strode towards Gu Zhiqi, wrapped her arms around Gu Zhiqi’s waist, about to lift her high up.

Gu Zhiqi paused and promptly spoke to stop her, "Miss Qingqing, please be mindful, so many people are watching."

Miss Qingqing didn’t care much, "What’s wrong with me hugging my daughter?"

Nevertheless, she didn’t actually lift her high, but instead, scrutinized Gu Zhiqi up and down before commenting, "You’ve gotten thinner."

Saying so, she even raised a hand to pinch Gu Zhiqi’s little face, "Look, there’s hardly any flesh on your little face."

After pinching Gu Zhiqi’s face, Jin Huaqing didn’t hold back and leaned in to nuzzle Gu Zhiqi.

Gu Zhiqi let her do it, standing still in place.

Once Jin Huaqing finally satisfied all her whims and released Gu Zhiqi, she then noticed Gu Zhiqi’s reddened eyes, and immediately turned serious, "Why are your eyes red? Did Xiao Su bully you?"

As soon as Jin Huaqing spoke, Gu Mojue and Gu Mingyu, who heard her question, turned their heads towards Su Yunling, a hint of scrutiny in their eyes.

After Jin Huaqing had spoken, she also turned her gaze to Su Yunling.

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable being stared at by three pairs of eyes, Su Yunling was a bit uneasy.

Remembering that it was indeed he who had made Gu Zhiqi cry, Su Yunling felt somewhat guilty.

Just as Su Yunling was contemplating whether or not to apologize to the three of them, Gu Zhiqi spoke up, "Earlier on the battlefield, seeing so many people die made me really sad."

Hearing this, Jin Huaqing and the others all turned their heads towards Gu Zhiqi.

In their eyes, Gu Zhiqi was kind-hearted and lovely, so all three believed her.

Jin Huaqing also raised a hand to gently pat Gu Zhiqi on the head as a gesture of comfort.

After that, they didn’t mention Gu Zhiqi’s red eyes anymore, changing the subject.

"Didn’t you say before that Mom has relatives outside? Where do they live?"

"Now that things here are settled, let’s take Mom home to meet her relatives."

Hearing Jin Huaqing’s words, Gu Mojue and Gu Mingyu also turned their heads towards Gu Zhiqi.

Once Jin Huaqing mentioned it, Gu Zhiqi remembered, "I just saw two of them. I’ll take you to meet them."

So, Gu Zhiqi led Jin Huaqing to find Jin Cenglv and Fu Wangchan.

In the end, they only found Fu Wangchan.

"Where is Cousin?" Gu Zhiqi asked Fu Wangchan.

Fu Wangchan turned his head, looking in a certain direction, he lifted his chin to signal Gu Zhiqi to look over there.

Following his indicated direction, Gu Zhiqi saw Jin Cenglv’s figure, and besides her, there was another familiar figure, Zhong Li.

The two seemed to be saying something, Jin Cenglv’s head slightly bowed, while Zhong Li’s face didn’t look very good.

Gu Zhiqi didn’t pay too much attention, just about to look away.
