The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy

Chapter 1152: Chapter 1212

"Tired, aren’t you? I made some soup for you. Have a sip first."

"You made soup? Didn’t you just come back from outside?" Qiao Qiqi looked at him in confusion.

"No, did you just see me?" Gu Shili responded quickly.

Qiao Qiqi didn’t hide it, nodded, and said she saw him.

Gu Shili sighed, reached out to tousle her hair, "Why don’t you ask me anything?"

"If you want to tell me, you’ll naturally tell me. There’s nothing to ask." Qiao Qiqi trusted him completely, no matter what it was, she believed in him.

"I’ll go stir-fry some dishes. We can talk while eating later." Gu Shili let her freshen up and change into casual clothes while he headed to the kitchen.

When Qiao Qiqi came out, the food was already on the table. Every time Gu Shili cooked, it was always plentiful. She went to help get the bowls and chopsticks.

Once they both sat down, Gu Shili served her a bowl of soup and said, "Drink more. This is particularly good for the body. I just learned it, apparently, it also beautifies and improves complexion."

Qiao Qiqi took it, picked up a spoon, and started drinking.

Gu Shili looked at her, pondered for a moment, and said, "She is my birth mother."

Qiao Qiqi paused, looked at him. She somewhat guessed it, but she didn’t expect his birth mother would really come back looking for him.

"So, the two of you just now?" Qiao Qiqi could see that Gu Shili seemed a bit unhappy.

"When I was young, no one took care of me. Now I’m all grown up, can stand on my own, have someone I like—don’t need them anymore. But they all keep popping up one after another. I met her twice and made it clear to her: I don’t want to meet again." Gu Shili didn’t want to disrupt his current life at all. He was very happy, very good.

But those parents suddenly jumped out to bother him.

"Why did your mother suddenly come back to find you?"

"She said she got old and suddenly missed me. Later, she didn’t have any more children; she said I am her only son." Gu Shili only felt colder inside hearing this.

Back then, he remembered how well his mother treated someone else’s child, always placing him at the back. While he didn’t lack understanding and knew her difficulties, understanding doesn’t mean he didn’t mind.

Later, he was sent away, and his mother didn’t even show her face. When he got lost, presumably, she didn’t care either.

If they’re already parted ways, why reappear, why seek?

He long considered his parents dead.

"..." Qiao Qiqi was also a bit angry. Back then, abandoning one’s child, ignoring him; now old and frail, wants to reconnect. Is she hoping her son will care for her in old age?

"It’s okay, do whatever you want. I’ll support you." Qiao Qiqi reached out and held his hand.

Gu Shili smiled. As long as she was by his side, he feared nothing and cared for nothing.

After eating, Qiao Qiqi went to rest, and Gu Shili stayed by her side until he too fell asleep.

...

When Qiao Qiqi woke up, it was dark again. She had to go to the hospital.

Gu Shili wanted to accompany her, but she said, "Don’t go now; come pick me up tomorrow. I probably won’t be much help now. With Zhou Zhou’s current situation, I’m not much help."

Qiao Qiqi could at most help Zhou Zhou alleviate some pain, but she wasn’t skilled in burn treatment, didn’t dare to act recklessly.

Gu Shili insisted on taking her to the hospital, and he also needed to return to the company to handle some matters.

Qiao Qiqi didn’t stop him, got dressed, and they set off together.
