"Okay, your parents are just concerned about you."
Zhao Jinxiang said helplessly.
"No way! You care about me but you're still so mean to me!"
Gu Nianqing said, feeling wronged.
Zhao Jinxiang thought for a moment, then reached out and patted Gu Nianqing's head, saying with a smile, "Does Nianqing want to know why your dad scolded you?"
Gu Nianqing tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Why?"
"Do you know why your mother suddenly became disappointed?"
Zhao Jinxiang thought for a moment and asked.
Gu Nianqing thought for a moment, then shook her head and asked, "Why?"
"Your mother thought you were unhappy because you missed her too much, and that she was happy because you missed her. You should tell her that you were unhappy not because you missed her too much, but because you wanted to see the treasure, which is why your mother was disappointed!"
Zhao Jinxiang explained.
Gu Nianqing scratched her head, thought for a while, and asked in confusion, "But we can see each other every day! There's no need to think about it at all!"
Zhao Jinxiang stared at Gu Nianqing for a while, then sighed and continued, "Let me ask you another question: If your husband said he missed you, would you be happy?"
Gu Nianqing blushed slightly upon hearing this, and then said shyly, "Of course I'm happy!"
Zhao Jinxiang continued, "If you could see each other every day, and your husband still told you that he missed you, would you still be happy?"
Gu Nianqing tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded, "Although we see each other every day, I will still be happy if my husband says he misses me!"
"So even though you and your mother see each other every day, when your mother finds out that you miss her, she will still be happy. Since she will be happy, she will also be disappointed."
"Oh! I see, that's how it is! Then why is my dad angry?"
Gu Nianqing continued to ask.
Zhao Jinxiang thought for a moment, then asked, "What would you do if someone made your husband angry?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nianqing's eyes widened immediately. "Who? Who dares to anger my husband? I'll kill him!"
[As soon as Gu Nianqing finished speaking, a certain deity, far away in the heavens, who was listening to their conversation, couldn't help but smile.]
Zhao Jinxiang didn't reply, but just looked at him with a smile.
Seeing this, Gu Nianqing lowered her head and thought for a while before saying with a look of sudden realization, "Oh, I understand. It's because I made Mom angry that Dad scolded me!"
Zhao Jinxiang reached out and patted Gu Nianqing's head, smiling but saying nothing.
"Ugh! You guys are such a hassle. Why can't you just say what you mean? Making everyone guess is just unbearable!"
Gu Nianqing suddenly shook her head, sighed, and then turned and ran upstairs.
...
"What's wrong? Are you sad?"
In the bedroom on the second floor, Gu Nanxun placed Lin Qing on the bed, then reached out and hugged her, kissed her cheek, and asked with a smile.
Lin Qing reached out and hugged Gu Nanxun back, rubbing her face against his head, and then replied, "No, it's just that I'm a little disappointed. He's always been closer to my uncle, and I always thought he preferred my uncle, so when I learned that he might miss me, I was happy. Therefore, when I found out that I had misunderstood, I was a little disappointed."
“Actually, every child has people they love and are close to during their growth. Take Chen Bin, for example. From our interactions, we can see that he is closer to his father and more willing to listen to him, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t love his parents. Nianqing is the same. The fact that he chose us to be his parents in this life shows that he loves us too. It’s just that his uncle probably took care of him more in the previous life, so their relationship is more natural. Even the system hasn’t forgotten us. There’s one on his uncle’s side, and there’s one on our side, right? He might just not know how to get along with us. Let’s take it slow and give him some time.”
Gu Nanxun nuzzled Lin Qing's head against his own and then began to comfort her.
"I understand what you're saying, but sometimes I still can't help but compare myself to my uncle!"
Lin Qing sighed and said.
"Knock knock knock..."
The two were talking when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Lin Qing straightened her clothes, then smiled and said to the door, "Is this Nian Nianqing? Come in."
"Squeak..."
The door opened from the outside, and Gu Nianqing poked his head in. He looked at Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun and suddenly flashed a bright smile.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter, Nianqing?"
Lin Qing asked with a smile.
"It's nothing, it's just that Mom was upset just now, and I was a little worried, so I came up to check on her."
Gu Nianqing answered seriously.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing's face instantly lit up with a bright smile. She said with a smile, "I'm not upset. Nianqing, didn't you want to see the treasure? Come on, Mommy will take you to see the treasure."
Upon hearing this, Gu Nianqing immediately ran to Lin Qing, took Lin Qing's hand, and said with a smile, "Actually, whether or not we see the treasure is not important. I mainly want to spend more time with my parents!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing's smile widened even more. He reached out and grabbed Gu Nianqing's hand, saying happily, "Come on, let's go see the treasure!"
After saying that, Lin Qing pulled Gu Nianqing downstairs. Gu Nanxun shook his head helplessly and followed her downstairs. Sigh! There was nothing he could do. The one who tied the knot had to untie it. All his efforts to coax her were no match for those two words from that kid!
Lin Qing pulled Gu Nianqing downstairs, where they saw Zhao Jinxiang still sitting in the living room. Lin Qing greeted Zhao Jinxiang warmly, "Uncle, come on, let's go see the treasure!"
Zhao Jinxiang nodded upon hearing this and followed behind, heading towards the warehouse.
As soon as the group entered the warehouse, they saw a pile of huge boxes in the center of the warehouse. The boxes were carved with exquisite patterns, making them look very mysterious.
Gu Nianqing couldn't wait to open the box, which was filled with all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, as well as some antiques and paintings, each of which radiated an alluring light.
Gu Nianqing opened the boxes one by one, curiously examining each treasure. Suddenly, he picked up a crystal-clear stone. "Spirit stones! There are spirit stones here? I knew it! How could there only be these ordinary treasures?"
"Is this a spirit stone? Why does it look different from the ones I've seen before?"
Lin Qing curiously picked up the spirit stone Gu Nianqing had mentioned and asked, "?"
"This is a top-grade spirit stone. The ones Mom saw before were only the lowest-grade spirit stones. One top-grade spirit stone is worth 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. It's definitely different!"
Gu Nianqing explained with a smile.
"1.2.2.4.5...13.14.15.16, there are actually 16 boxes of top-grade spirit stones. In this small world, to have so many spirit stones is truly a grand gesture!"
