Entwined by Dawn: The CEO's Relentless Obsession
Chapter 1260: Acknowledging Relatives Before the Wedding 6The smile on her face stiffened slightly, and then being praised so bluntly again, she felt a bit embarrassed; a faint blush rose on her white and tender cheeks.
Gu Qingci watched her, his brows and eyes opening in delight, unable to resist teasing: "Oh my, Tian Tian, this tendency of yours to blush at the drop of a hat really hasn’t changed at all!"
"Guodong, don’t you think so?"
Following her aunt Gu Qingci’s line of sight, Tian Tian looked over and saw a tall, broad-shouldered middle-aged man sitting by the window.
He was no longer the tall, skinny figure in her memory; about one meter eighty, roughly the same height as her eldest uncle, but his build now... compared to her eldest uncle, he was like one and a half of him.
Hearing Gu Qingci’s words, Feng Guodong lifted his eyes and looked at Tian Tian—strictly speaking, from the moment Tian Tian pushed the door open and came in, Feng Guodong had already been sizing her up.
A white and tender baby face that made her look like a high schooler, delicate and cute; in those black, shiny grape-like eyes there was a bit of unease and a bit of curiosity, the kind of rawness like an unripe little fruit, making her thoughts easy to read at a glance.
Her clothes were very fashionable, yet also very proper and conservative—nothing flashy or showy: black jeans, white Martin boots, a white sweater, and over it a black wool coat.
It looked like standard, decent dressing, but every piece she wore was a brand name. Even the crystal clip on the high bun on her head cost five figures.
Feng Guodong narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression sharp and authoritative as he looked at Tian Tian, whose hand was being held by his wife, his voice a bit rough-edged, his face stern.
"Mm, at first glance you can still vaguely see what you looked like as a child."
Before his wife could speak, Feng Guodong added on.
"But that saying about girls changing as they grow up really isn’t false. You were a pretty little girl back then, and now that you’ve grown up, you’ve become even more fresh and lovely."
Tian Tian: "..."
Listening to him, Gu Qingci couldn’t help laughing.
"I really didn’t expect you’d have a time when you actually praise someone. Looks like you really do like Tian Tian. Even with our Xiuxiu, I don’t think I’ve ever heard you compliment her."
Feng Guodong’s expression stayed stern, and his tone was still rigid.
"You know me—I’ve always spoken bluntly, just telling the truth. And besides, who was it back then who told me he had two little nieces, both very pretty and cute?"
Now it was Gu Qingci’s turn to feel awkward; she couldn’t help shooting Feng Guodong a glare.
"You, honestly..."
She stopped talking to Feng Guodong and finally turned to look at Gu Qingfeng, who had come in behind Tian Tian.
"Big Brother, hurry and sit down, let’s all have a good chat!"
Gu Qingfeng nodded with a smile. Tian Tian quickly slipped her hand out of Gu Qingci’s, put the fruit basin she was holding down on the table over there, and then went to help support Gu Qingfeng.
Seeing this series of movements, a hint of surprise flashed in Gu Qingci’s eyes, and then she broke into another cheerful smile.
"Big Brother, look at this little niece Tian Tian—she really cares about you just like Yunyun does!"
Gu Qingfeng thought to himself that his niece and his daughter were completely different.
His niece worried about how his health was, would come over to support him when he was walking with a cane, afraid he might fall; but his daughter?
Even before he got hurt, she had never said anything about helping him sit down or stand up. The fact that she came to visit him in the hospital at all was really thanks to Cheng Junnan.
On his honest face appeared a kindly smile; Gu Qingfeng looked at Tian Tian with deep affection, smiling as he nodded.
"Tian Tian is a good girl. If Qing Ran were still here, he would definitely be very comforted."
