Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage-Chapter 406 - 407: Their Sibling Bond is Really Strong

Chapter 406: Chapter 407: Their Sibling Bond is Really Strong

Of course, Xi Jiachen also had a biological son.

That would be Gu Zhaohan, who was born to Gu Mingzhu.

Though Gu Zhaohan hadn’t grown up in the Xi family, Xi Jiachen constantly thought about his son.

Mainly because his eldest and second sons were disappointments.

Xi Yanbo had mishandled a large portion of the family business shortly after taking over.

Furthermore, Xi Yankai had even less interest in managing the business.

Gu Zhaohan, to his credit, was smart and talented; Xi Jiachen had been quietly observing this son for many years.

His youngest son, just like him in his younger years, was intelligent and composed. He had the potential for great success. Though he was studying medicine, the matters of the business world could still be slowly taught to him.

With all his heart, Xi Jiachen wanted to acknowledge this son as his own and have him inherit the family business, especially as his health deteriorated in the recent years, making this desire even stronger.

But the old man refused to give him any face.

He hung up the phone after a few brief exchanges.

The old man instructed Gu Qichen, “Find someone to block the Xi family’s number for me. I don’t want to receive calls from that bastard again.”

Gu Qichen replied with resignation, “If Xi Jiachen wants to call you, I’m afraid I can’t block him. He has ways.”

The old man heaved a deep sigh, “My biggest mistake was letting your sister marry him. She suffered so much, lost hope in marriage, and has been living alone all these years.”

Gu Qichen said, “This has nothing to do with you. Don’t blame yourself. Let’s go eat.”

New Year’s Eve dinner.

The tradition here was to eat dumplings.

The dumplings served today were all hand-wrapped by Gu Mingzhu.

She made the filling and rolled the dough herself.

She was now boiling them in the kitchen.

Gu Qichen went behind Gu Mingzhu and asked like a child, “Sis, what filling did you use? It smells so good.”

Seeing Gu Qichen, Gu Mingzhu’s face lit up, “It’s your favorite beef filling. Here, try one and see how it tastes.”

After saying this, Gu Mingzhu picked up a dumpling with her chopsticks and brought it to Gu Qichen’s lips.

She then blew on it a few times: “Be careful, it’s hot.”

After eating it, Gu Qichen praised, “It’s the same taste. The dumplings you make are the best in the world.”

“You flatterer,” she said, and playfully pinched Gu Qichen’s cheek.

Xia Yangyang was watching all of this.

The scene in front of her was incredibly warm.

In front of her, Gu Qichen was like an invincible superhero, a sturdy tree that sheltered and stood unwaveringly.

In front of others as well, he was a formidable person who was always calm and composed, never showing his emotions.

Only in front of Gu Mingzhu was he occasionally child-like.

That was something Xia Yangyang rarely had the opportunity to witness.

But Xia Yangyang could tell that the sentiment between the two siblings was genuinely good.

When Gu Mingzhu turned around, she saw Xia Yangyang.

The smile at the corner of her mouth froze for a moment.

The tone of her voice seemed to cool quite a bit, “You’re back?”

With his arm still wrapped around Gu Mingzhu’s shoulder, Gu Qichen said, “Sis, Yangyang brought you a gift today.”

The change in Gu Mingzhu’s expression was subtle, but she appeared to feign indifference, “What gift? There’s nothing I need.”

Gu Qichen gave Xia Yangyang a look.

Xia Yangyang quickly left the room.

When she walked back in, she was holding a pot of orchids.

When Gu Mingzhu saw the pot of orchids, something briefly flashed in her eyes.

Then she walked over.

The orchids in Xia Yangyang’s hands were the very same Deity Orchids that Gu Mingzhu had accidentally broken after being startled by Xia Yangyang last time.
