Moreover, it happened to be the time of the Empress Dowager's passing, and he must have been very sad.
She wasn't there for him during his most painful time.
"You don't need to feel guilty. Although I was captured, I returned safely. Look, I'm perfectly fine," Wen Nongnong said in a relaxed tone, without mentioning anything about what happened on the ship.
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao tightened his arms, as if he wanted to embed her into his body.
"You're squeezing me." After a moment, Wen Nongnong said in a low voice, her face flushed.
Gu Linchao was stunned for a moment, then looked down at her.
Wen Nongnong bit her lip and then pointed to her collar.
Gu Linchao looked over and saw a wet patch there. He didn't realize what it was at first, but Wen Nongnong whispered something in his ear, and he understood. His handsome face instantly turned a little red.
Seeing him blush, Wen Nongnong couldn't help but tease him, "I'm not blushing, why are you blushing? You're a father of two now." She then chuckled softly.
Gu Linchao pursed his lips, and after a moment, leaned down to her ear, "Let me see."
Wen Nongnong was stunned, then realized what he meant, and her face instantly turned red.
Gu Linchao didn't give her a chance to refuse and picked her up in his arms.
Wen Nongnong: "..."
This time, the two little ones slept unusually soundly, only waking up in the evening. To their surprise, they found that their mother's face was as red as if she had applied rouge, and her eyes and brows had gained a beauty that they could not understand.
Meanwhile, in the front yard, Si Yi and Lü Qiao, who were about to leave, ran into the Si siblings who had just returned from outside, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.
"Why are you here?" Si asked the two men with a gloomy expression.
Si Luo hadn't expected to run into him as soon as she entered, and was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Si Yi, when did you get back?"
Si Yi hated his nonchalant attitude the most and said coldly, "Don't try to get close to me, you're not welcome here!"
Si Lan stood behind Si Luo with a complicated expression. She only learned later that she had a half-brother who was abandoned at birth.
His father later wanted to bring him back, but he hated the Si family and her parents so much that he naturally didn't want to return to the Si family.
When she was in the Si family, she heard about Si Yi's background. Although she felt sympathy for him, she couldn't truly empathize with him.
But now, perhaps because she has experienced so much, she can understand Si Yi's hatred for the Si family.
Anyone would find it unacceptable and unforgivable to be treated like that from birth.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but step forward and tug at Si Yi's sleeve. "Second Brother, I know you hate us. We are all very sorry for what happened in the past. We can't ask you to forgive us, but can you give us a chance to make it up to you?"
Si was taken aback for a moment, then rudely shook off her hand, her expression cold, "Don't make up relatives, I don't have a sister."
Upon hearing this, Si Lan's gaze dimmed, and she looked somewhat embarrassed.
Lü Qiao glanced at her, then tugged at Si Yi's hand and explained, "Si Yi, Si Luo and Si Lan saved Miss. They are Miss's friends. They are actually very kind people. Si Lan even made you a pair of shoes. You just got back, and I haven't had a chance to give them to you yet."
Upon hearing this, Si Yi glanced at her with an unpleasant expression, then left the palace without saying a word.
Seeing this, Lü Qiao was very anxious. She hurriedly said something to Si Luo and Si Lan and then quickly chased after them.
Si Lan sighed and said to Si Luo, "Brother, it seems that Second Brother will never forgive us."
Si Luo ruffled her hair and said with a smile, "You call me 'Second Brother' quite naturally."
Si Lan couldn't help but sigh again, "What's the use of calling out to them so easily? The problem is that they don't even acknowledge me."
"Why are you sighing at such a young age?" Si Luo said helplessly. "If you keep sighing, you'll turn into an old woman. Who will want to marry you then?"
"It doesn't matter if I never get married in my life, I have a godson and a godson," Si Lan said nonchalantly.
"Really?" Si Luo said casually, then suddenly changed the subject, "What did you think of Cheng Feng just now?"
Si Lan was taken aback when he suddenly brought up the young man from the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. "Why are you bringing him up out of the blue?"
“I just think that Cheng Feng isn’t an ordinary celebrity,” Si Luo said with a smile. “The key is that you seem to have a good impression of him.”
Si Lan looked at him in astonishment, "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? I was just about to say that you also have a good impression of those girls."
"No? Or must I be seeing things?" Si Luo touched his nose.
"You were mistaken from the start," Si Lan said, frowning unhappily.
"Alright, whatever you say goes," Si Luo said good-naturedly.
Si Lan rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.
After leaving the palace, Si Yi slowed down, knowing that Lü Qiao was chasing after him.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before Lü Qiao caught up with them.
"Si Yi, are you angry?" Lü Qiao grabbed his hand, her tone somewhat cautious.
Si Yi pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time.
Green Fairy shook his hand, and seeing that he still had a sullen face, she said with a determined look, "Since you hate them so much, then I will stay away from them from now on and not associate with them. I will also return all the things they gave me."
Si Yi finally stopped and frowned at her. "What else did they give you?"
Lu Qiao swallowed hard and whispered, "Si Luo said that he and Si Lan left the capital in a hurry, so they didn't have anything valuable on them. So he bought me a pair of jade bracelets, and Si Lan gave me a pair of earrings."
Si Yi sneered, "He who takes a man's money is bound to him, and he who eats a man's food is bound to him. Green Qiao, you really have guts. You even dare to accept things from your enemy. No wonder you've been speaking well of them."
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Lü Qiao said somewhat unsure of herself, "Actually, I didn't say anything good about them. I just said one sentence, and it was the truth. It doesn't count as saying anything good about them."
Actually, I was also conflicted at first. Knowing about the rift between you and the Si family, I was determined not to associate with them. However, since we live under the same roof and see each other every day, it wasn't good for me to always have a stern face. Besides, they kept trying to be nice to me, and I'm not a heartless person; I couldn't remain indifferent.
More importantly, although they are also members of the Si family, it was their parents who committed those evil deeds, not them. Furthermore, when you were born, Si Luo was only two years old, and Si Lan hadn't even been born yet. If we attribute their parents' actions to them, wouldn't that be unfair to them?
Si Yi, I'm not saying this to make you accept them. You can continue to dislike them and not associate with them. I just hope you can forget the bad things from the past and stop making yourself suffer. I want you to be happy.
