Gu Chengcheng crisply called out to Gu Xiyue before darting over and hugging her thigh tightly.
Gu Xiyue bent down slightly and gently rubbed Gu Chengcheng's head, "Where's your mom?"
Gu Chengcheng, looking up at Gu Xiyue with his clear, doe-like eyes, responded in a tender voice, "Mom is cooking."
Gu Xiyue pinched his soft cheek and took his hand to enter the house.
As they walked into the living room, Gu Xiyue noticed Yue Lan engrossed in her mobile phone, sitting seriously on the couch.
Upon hearing the noise at the door, Yue Lan looked up at her, "You're back?"
"Why are you here?" Gu Xiyue, holding onto Chengcheng's hand, asked as she sat down beside Yue Lan on the couch.
"Waiting for you," Yue Lan put away her phone, which she placed on the table, and turned her attention to Gu Xiyue.
Gu Xiyue handed the paper bag she was carrying to Chengcheng without any particular reaction to Yue Lan's words.
