Chapter 1325 The sour smell of love (12)

He gently smoothed the wrinkles between her brows with his hand, but inadvertently furrowed his own.

She might have had a bad dream.

Wondering what she dreamed of.

"Good girl..." he said softly, "My Manman, I wish to give you all that is beautiful, to trade for your smile."

In the dream, it seemed Xiao Man had heard him, her brow gradually relaxing.

"That’s a good girl."

Xiao Man peacefully fell back asleep, without any extra thoughts, sleeping calmly.

Li Sinian leaned over, kissed her forehead, and then got up from bed to put on clothes.

He went downstairs to prepare some food, planning to call her to wake up.

As he was almost done, her phone on the coffee table started ringing.

He put down the plate in his hand and walked over to pick it up.

Qianxun’s name appeared on the screen, so he answered directly, "Hello?"

"...Hello?" Qianxun probably didn’t expect Li Sinian to answer, paused for a moment, "Oh, it doesn’t matter, it’s the same, since Sister Weiwei is with you anyway."

Recalling their previous agreement, he said, "She is feeling a bit unwell and resting now, I’ll call her to eat something later, and then we’ll come to find you. We might be late, I’m sorry."

"..." Um... Qianxun was even more surprised.

Li Sinian was saying "sorry" to her... It was unbelievably flattering.

But what Qianxun intended to say was another matter: "That’s just right, I was actually feeling apologetic, wanting to call you about it. Something came up in our family, so we can’t go out with you this afternoon, since Sister Weiwei happens to be unwell, perhaps... we should reschedule?"

Having said so, Li Sinian naturally agreed, "Sure, then take care of your business, I’ll tell her you called."

"Okay! But... Sister Weiwei is alright, is she?"

"Yes, she’s fine, just needs to rest a bit."

"Great, let Sister Weiwei rest well, that’s it for now, bye-bye."

"Bye."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the dishes on the table.

Yes, it’s time to call her up for afternoon tea, she must be starving.

...

"Should we take Cute and Jiujiu?" Qianxun asked Gu Liancheng.

Gu Liancheng put the decision in her hands: "You decide for yourself. If you insist on my suggestion, I can only say that one shouldn’t hold onto deep animosity when life nears its end, let it go."

Qianxun’s gaze fell on the two little treasures, Cute and Jiujiu, and she lowered her head to ask, "Kids, mommy asks you, do you want to go?"

"I’ll listen to my brother!" At some point, Gu Mengmeng became Gu Jiujiu’s little tail, following him everywhere.

"Let’s go..." Jiujiu thought for a while and said, "It should be the last time to see them."

"Yes, you’re such good kids," Gu Liancheng patted his head, "Then let’s go together."

Before leaving, Jiang Mei stood at the door and cautioned Gu Liancheng a few words: "Son, if Qianxun can’t figure things out, help to persuade her more, after all, it’s her birth mother... She might regret it when she remembers it later, let her eliminate hatred, forgiveness is not only for others, but also for letting go of yourself."

"I understand," Gu Liancheng nodded, "I have a sense of proportion."

On this matter, his stance has always been as such.

He hopes Qianxun will have no regrets or remorse in the future.
