Chapter 570 - 568: Meeting Gu Xiyao
Gu Xiyao was lying on the hospital bed, lost in thought. When she heard Lu Sinian’s voice, she immediately put on a smile and looked towards the door. Seeing Ji Niandong walk in with flowers, she was momentarily taken aback, then her smile became even brighter and more charming, gentle to the extreme, "Tongtong, you’re here too?"
Her expression and tone both revealed a hint of surprise. Upon hearing this, Lu Sinian ran to the bedside, looked up cheerfully, and said, "It’s Sister Tongtong who specially brought me to see you. She knew you’d be bored alone in the hospital, so she came with me to keep you company."
She nodded slightly, "Thank you!"
Ji Niandong placed the flowers aside and replied with a smile, "No need to thank me, it was Nian Nian who missed you. Besides, you’re Beichen’s little niece, which makes me your little aunt. Visiting you is only right."
Gu Xiyao glanced up at her, smiled, but said nothing.
Ji Niandong maintained the same smile. This woman, even when sick and without makeup, still exuded an impressive aura, tranquil and flawless, as if everything she did was beyond reproach.
The more it was like this, the more uneasy Ji Niandong felt inside.
The atmosphere seemed a bit awkward, and indeed the two didn’t know what to say to each other.
"Why aren’t you two talking?" Little Bun looked at them and couldn’t help but say, "I took a good look, Sister Tongtong, you two do look a bit alike."
Ji Niandong couldn’t help but frown slightly, her ever-smiling face changing color instantly. She said with a stiff face, "Don’t say that. Miss Gu is so beautiful, how could Sister Tongtong look like her."
"Sister Tongtong is very pretty too!" Little Bun replied without thinking, genuinely sincere.
Gu Xiyao glanced sideways at Ji Niandong, her gentle smile suddenly turning serious, her gaze on Ji Niandong becoming scrutinizing.
Being stared at like this made Ji Niandong uncomfortable, and she slightly turned her face and coughed lightly.
Seeing this, Gu Xiyao smiled slightly, "Sorry, it’s just that Tongtong does look very familiar, like I’ve seen you somewhere before."
She seemed to ponder seriously for a moment, "Have you ever been to Paris, Tongtong?"
"Why do you ask?" Ji Niandong frowned, wondering why everyone asked this question, "Did Lu Beichen tell you I went there?"
Gu Xiyao paused slightly, took a few seconds to react, then shook her head, "Just asking casually!" She reached out to touch Little Bun’s cheek in front of her, "Does Nian Nian like your Sister Tongtong a lot?"
"Of course!" Little Bun answered happily, making Ji Niandong feel a bit better. After he said this, he added, "I like you a lot too."
Gu Xiyao suddenly laughed, not sure if it was because of his words.
"Nian Nian, go call the nurse sister to help Sister Xiyao change the medicine, okay?" Gu Xiyao smiled at him, her expression very gentle.
Upon hearing this, Lu Sinian nodded immediately, "Wait for me!"
He turned and ran out happily, Gu Xiyao withdrew her gaze and looked at Ji Niandong instead, "Sit down!"
She obviously intended to send the child away, and Ji Niandong cautiously sat to the side, hearing Gu Xiyao say, "Nian Nian, that silly child, doesn’t need to come every day."
"He cares about you too." Ji Niandong responded lightly.
Gu Xiyao nodded, slightly sitting up and looking at her, "Do you know? I always thought before, Little Uncle would get married someday, and I wondered what kind of woman he would marry. I didn’t expect her to be so young and beautiful."
Gu Xiyao looked at her with genuine admiration, making Ji Niandong feel awkward for a moment, "Miss Gu is prettier."
"You call me Miss Gu so formally, but expect me to call you little aunt?" Gu Xiyao said, still with a faint smile on her face, almost as if she was negotiating.
Ji Niandong felt as if she had been seen through by her words.
She took a breath and called with a smile, "Xi... Xiyao."
And after calling, she felt even more embarrassed!
