Chapter 146 - 73: Reporting Without a Change in Expression_2
Yesterday’s grievances surged to her mind, and Gu Fangzi’s eyes brimmed with warmth, her rims turning red involuntarily. Clinging affectionately to Mrs. Wang’s arm and nestling against her, she whispered coquettishly, "With auntie’s love, I don’t feel the slightest bitterness! Truly! As long as I have auntie, Fang’er feels so at ease and happy!"
Moved by both pity and love, Mrs. Wang thought of how Fangzi, still so young, was raised by her side, indistinguishable from her own daughter, which deepened her compassion. Thus, she gently embraced Fangzi with a smile and said, "Silly girl, you always speak such nonsense! Rest assured, from now on we are truly a family! Auntie won’t let you be wronged!"
"Mhm!" With a stretch of her smile, Gu Fangzi said playfully, "I knew auntie you love me the most and treat me the best!"
Speaking thus, they exchanged smiles.
"Oh, sister, you’re here!" Gu Fangzi caught sight of Sang Wan standing at the doorway, hesitating to enter or retreat, and exclaimed in surprise. Hastily releasing Mrs. Wang’s arm, she collected herself, retreating two steps with a demure yet slightly timid stance.
Sang Wan, forced to smile, stepped in with a soft "Mhm" and approached to pay her respects to Mrs. Wang, reminding herself not to think about the scene she just witnessed. Don’t think about it!
"Mhm, sit down and we’ll talk," Mrs. Wang said with a smile and a nod.
"Fangzi, take a seat too," Mrs. Wang smiled and told Gu Fangzi who stood behind her.
