Chapter 992: Chapter 989

The guard soldier smiled, "Not this week yet, don’t worry young master, once the letter arrives, I’ll deliver it promptly."

"Alright." Lu Qingming nodded in satisfaction.

He stepped out and held Gong Susu’s hand, "Susu, let’s go."

Gong Susu shyly let him pull her along, but couldn’t help turning back to look at the guard room.

Qingming brother sent things to Ailao Mountain again...

Everyone says she’s a bit slow-witted, but she understands very clearly that Qingming brother regularly sends things and letters to Ailao Mountain.

... It’s all for the sister named Ning Meng.

Sister Ning Meng saved Qingming brother’s life, she’s someone Qingming brother will be grateful to for a lifetime.

Seeing her twisting her neck, Lu Qingming reached out to turn her head back, "What are you looking at? Is your brother not good looking? Just look at your brother!"

"..." Gong Susu’s cheeks slightly turned warm, she nodded obediently, "Mhmm."

...

That afternoon, Yu Sangwan was on the phone in the living room.

"Hello." The call connected, Yu Sangwan’s tone was slightly trembling, "Is this... Ningning?"

On the other end, Gu Xiaoning was surprised, "Uh... yes, yes. Wanwan sis, oh no, ma’am—"

"Tsk." Yu Sangwan laughed, "It’s been two years, you’re a mom now, how come you’re more timid than before? I remember you used to be very brave..."

Gu Xiaoning was startled, well yes, back then, she really was very brave. Remembering those days, she even dared to volunteer to be Lu Jinxuan’s sister!

Recalling the past, both couldn’t help but sigh, "Ningning, you’ve been back for quite a while now, yet I haven’t seen you. Have you forgotten about me, your sister?"

"No..." Gu Xiaoning’s eyes reddened, "Wanwan sis..."

"No crying." Yu Sangwan was also choked up, "Come to Guan Chao for dinner tonight, I’ll send the driver to pick you up, can’t refuse, or I’ll be mad."

"Okay." Gu Xiaoning nodded while choking back tears, "I’ll definitely come."

Unexpectedly, Guan Chao’s driver arrived very quickly, it was only about three or four in the afternoon.

Gu Xiaoning thought Ling Yu had social engagements tonight, so wouldn’t be back early, and thus she got in the car and went to Guan Chao.

Upon entering the entrance to the inner courtyard, Yu Sangwan was already waiting for her.

As she approached, she embraced her, "Ningning."

"..." Gu Xiaoning’s eyes welled up, "Wanwan sis."

"No crying." Yu Sangwan raised her hand, wiping away her tears, "Two years, finally back, you’ve had a tough time."

"..." Gu Xiaoning was at a loss for words, "Wanwan sis, you don’t despise me?"

"Tsk." Yu Sangwan shook her head, "I have no right to despise you. What is a sister? A sister is someone who supports you unconditionally, regardless of what you do or have done wrong. Moreover, I believe you haven’t done anything wrong to Asheng."

Gu Xiaoning parted her lips slightly, truly surprised.

Two years, and Yu Sangwan was the first to trust her unconditionally.

"Sis..."

Gu Xiaoning couldn’t help but hold her hand, "Thank you."

"So..." Yu Sangwan looked at her, "What exactly happened two years ago, is it really unspeakable?"

"Sis... it’s all in the past." Gu Xiaoning lowered her head.

"Ah." Yu Sangwan sighed, "Alright, if you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t force you, since you’re here, let’s enjoy the meal, okay?"

"Mm." Gu Xiaoning laughed, handing Yu Sangwan the bag she brought, "Sis, I have no money, these... I made with my own hands, for Qingming and Rice Ball."

Yu Sangwan laughed and quickly took it, "Really? Let me see."

Opening the bag, she saw a handmade toy bear, made by Gu Xiaoning for Rice Ball, and a remote-controlled airplane, naturally for Lu Qingming.

"It’s not worth much, I..." Gu Xiaoning felt a little embarrassed, knowing well that the eldest young master and young lady of Guan Chao couldn’t lack anything.

"What are you saying?" Yu Sangwan was very pleased, "They’ll like it, how could they not like a gift from their aunt?"

Just then, Lu Qingming came down the stairs with Rice Ball, accompanied by Gong Susu.

Yu Sangwan hurriedly waved, "Qingming, come over... This is Aunt Ningning, remember her?"

Lu Qingming looked at Gu Xiaoning, nodding, "Aunt."

He naturally remembered, once he even crawled under her wedding dress!

However, this aunt, wronged Asheng... Lu Qingming frowned, his demeanor wasn’t warm.

"This child." Yu Sangwan helplessly shook her head, "Ningning, don’t mind him, he’s just like his father, always pretending to be cool."

"Haha." Gu Xiaoning smiled faintly, "A son like his father, it’s only natural."

Yu Sangwan handed the bag to Lu Qingming, "A gift from Aunt, take it and play with your sister."

"Oh." Lu Qingming took it with one hand, "Thank you, Aunt."

As the children left, Yu Sangwan held Gu Xiaoning’s hand to continue chatting.

...

In the playroom, Lu Qingming put Rice Ball down and opened the bag given by his mother.

A doll, a remote-controlled airplane.

It’s obvious, one for Rice Ball, one for him, but what about Susu?

"Yiyiya..." Rice Ball crawled her way to the doll, hugging it tightly, giggling happily, her fair little belly exposed.

Lu Qingming picked up the remote-controlled airplane, handing it to Gong Susu, "Susu, this is yours."

Even if Gong Susu was slow, she knew it’s a boy’s toy.

Suddenly, she lifted her head to look at Lu Qingming, "Brother, I’m not your sister, right?"

"..." Lu Qingming was stunned, his expression became solemn, "Why would you say that?"

"It’s like this." Gong Susu nodded seriously, "Brother is the young master, Rice Ball sister is the second young lady, Susu is Miss Susu, Susu isn’t brother’s sister, Aunt didn’t prepare a gift for Susu because Susu isn’t mom’s child."

Lu Qingming was listening, bewildered, Gong Susu seldom spoke such long sentences.

Yet, within these words, there was such a heavy sense of helplessness.

For a moment, Lu Qingming didn’t know how to comfort her, he blurted out, "Don’t say nonsense! Look, brother’s last name is Lu, Rice Ball’s last name is Helian, Susu’s last name is Gong, we do have commonalities, don’t we?"

Really? Gong Susu tilted her head, unable to understand his words.

"But..." Gong Susu pointed to the airplane, "It’s a boy’s toy, not Susu’s."

"Nonsense!" Lu Qingming pulled Susu’s hand, "Come on, let’s play together! Dad said you can be a special agent someday! The toys you play with are different from regular girls, what’s unusual about that? Aunt must’ve known, so she sent this."

Gong Susu blinked, smiling, "Mm!"

She actually believed it.

"Young master."

A servant stood at the door, knocking, "You haven’t gone to the shooting range today."

Lu Qingming raised his wrist, looked at his watch, pinched Rice Ball’s chubby face, and ruffled Gong Susu’s hair, "Susu, take good care of sister here, brother will be back soon, and we’ll eat together."
