Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Listening to the tone of her son comforting her, Gu Qingluan was feeling both amused and helpless.
Has she turned into a playful one?
Bo He covered her mouth and chuckled. “Mistress, since Xiaonan has successfully treated everyone, he’s feeling accomplished now. How about 1 keep you company and play with you?”
“Go away. How dare you make fun of me!” Gu Qingluan glared at her.
This little girl was becoming bolder and bolder.
Qian Huan followed along and laughed.
Meanwhile, Feng Tianlan kept a close eye on Gu Xiaonan, his gaze gentle.
His gaze was too intense, and it was hard not to notice.
He raised his head and, upon seeing Feng Tianlan’s expression, couldn’t help but shiver. He tugged at Gu Qingluan’s sleeve and whispered, “Mother, what’s wrong with him? He looks like he’s going to sell me or something.”
It was just like those human traffickers who deceived children. The look in his eyes was exactly the same!
Hearing her son’s description, Gu Qingluan turned to look at Feng Tianlan and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Son, that was clearly the affectionate gaze of a father, you know?
How did you interpret it as wanting to sell you?
Gu Qingluan didn’t speak up to defend Feng Tianlan, but she looked at him calmly, wanting to see how he would react.
Upon hearing his son and his mother’s “whispered conversation,” the corner of Feng Tianlan’s eye twitched involuntarily.
Was he really that scary?
He tugged at the corners of his mouth and squeezed out a tender and indulgent smile. He was about to address himself as “dad” when he suddenly remembered Gu Qingluan’s previous reminder and quickly corrected himself, “I’m not short of money; I don’t need to sell children to make money.”
Gu Xiaonan muttered quietly, “That’s not necessarily true. They say the wealthier you are, the more stingy you become, using every means to make money. I have a high net worth, and if 1 were to be sold, I might fetch a good price. You might even be tempted.”
Feng Tianlan was speechless.
His son seemed to have a very clear understanding of his own value.
As his biological son, he indeed had an extraordinary value.
This was his son!
Feng Tianlan raised the corners of his mouth, about to say something.
However, at this moment, Gu Xiaonan waved his little hand and shooed them away. “Alright, I’ve rested enough, 1 won’t chat with you anymore. All of you can go and play on your own!”
A busy son was treating his parents like children as if their roles were reversed.
Feng Tianlan didn’t feel offended at all; instead, he found his son incredibly adorable.
At this moment, he didn’t want to go anywhere; he just wanted to be with his son. Even if they didn’t speak, just looking at each other was a kind of enjoyment.
Seeing Gu Xiaonan start to attend to another patient, Feng Tianlan stood silently to the side.
The more he looked, the more he felt that his son was smart and talented, and everything about him was pleasing and delightful.
Gu Qingluan saw that he didn’t seem to intend to leave for a while and gently shook her head.
How did she not notice before that Feng Tianlan was so doting on their sons?
It seemed like the three of them wouldn’t have a proper meal together. She would have to take care of that.
Gu Qingluan left on her own, went into the mansion, and ordered the kitchen to prepare some good dishes.
Her two sons had worked so hard; they deserved a nice meal.
Gu Qingluan ordered several dishes in the kitchen and then strolled around the mansion before slowly walking towards the main gate. When she was halfway there, a servant rushed toward her in a panic.
“Mistress, something terrible has happened!”
Everything that needed to be prepared was done, and the remaining minor matters were not worth mentioning. With Feng Tianlan watching outside, what could go wrong?
“What happened? Many of those who had our porridge are vomiting and having diarrhea. One person couldn’t make it and has just died!” the servant gasped for breath and said..
