Chapter 807: Gu Xiaobao (5)

Gu Xiaobao had always wanted a younger sister.

But mom was always too busy, so there wasn’t much time.

Mom had always soothed him by saying that she would give him a younger sister when he was older and let him bring her around.

Gu Xiaobao had always been looking forward to it.

Gu Xiaobao always liked his younger sister, so he always preferred girls over guys.

For example, in the afternoon, Gu Xiaobao watched an animation he liked on the television.

Qi Yuefeng walked over. “Xiaobao, I want to watch television. Can I switch channels?”

Gu Xiaobao raised his head and passed the remote control obediently to her. “Okay, here you go, grandmother.”

“Mm, what an obedient child. Come, let’s watch together.”

Gu Xiaobao ended up lying in Qi Yuefeng’s embrace obediently as they watched the television.

During the night, when Gu Xiaobao watched an animation on the television once again, Gu Hong walked over. “Xiaobao, I want to watch the news.”

Silence.

Gu Hong repeated patiently, “Xiaobao, I want to watch the news.”

Silence.

Gu Hong became angry. “Helian Qingcheng!”

Gu Xiaobao raised his head slowly. Looking at Gu Hong, he chided in a sweet voice, “Grandfather, you’re already so old. Why would you fight over the television with your grandson?”

Gu Hong was speechless.

He was so angry he laughed.

In the end, Gu Xiaobao couldn’t win over the stronger power, and so Qi Yuefeng carried him to sleep.

A problem arose on Gu Xiaobao’s first night with the Gu family.

He probably wasn’t used to it since it was his first time coming to China.

Adding that to the fact he missed his mother, Gu Xiaobao woke up in the middle of the night.

He started to wipe at his tears.

He didn’t know why. He was just upset because he missed his parents.

The last time he saw mom was already half a month ago.

The Gu Xiaobao, who everyone doted on, was weeping secretly in the middle of the night.

Not too long later, sensing something off, Gu Hong woke up. Seeing that his grandfather woke up, he shrank and pretended to be asleep.

But Gu Hong still saw.

Gu Xiaobao slept in a cradle. Gu Hong walked over and looked at Gu Xiaobao, who was pretending to sleep. He reached out and caressed Gu Xiaobao’s face.

It was wet.

Gu Hong bent down and scooped Gu Xiaobao up. He asked softly, “Xiaobao, why are you crying? Did you miss your mom?”

Gu Xiaobao squeezed into the embrace as tears fell silently.

He was not still not used to it since it was his first time leaving Penalan for China.

Qi Yuefeng played with Gu Xiaobao the entire day, so she was deep in sleep. Gu Hong brought Gu Xiaobao out.

Only when Gu Hong closed the bedroom door did Gu Xiaobao start to sob softly. He choked out, “I miss mom and dad.”

Even if he disliked his dad, when he missed them, he would think of him too.

Gu Hong was initially deep in sleep, so he was still not fully awake. With Gu Xiaobao in his arms, he sat on the sofa and called Gu Qingjiu.

Gu Qingjiu’s cell phone was switched off.

She was probably somewhere where she couldn’t answer phones in the middle of the night.

Gu Hong looked at the time. It was two in the morning.

He had no idea if Helian Niancheng was asleep at this time.

Gu Hong called, and within a few seconds, Helian Niancheng answered. “Hello, Dad?”

A low but clear voice. He was still busy and had yet to sleep.

Gu Hong lowered his voice. “Niancheng, have you slept? Xiaobao is looking for you.”

After speaking, he handed the cell phone to Gu Xiaobao.

Gu Xiaobao took the cell phone with a bitter face. Helian Niancheng looked at the time and said, “Why are you not sleeping at this time? You even woke grandfather.”

But when Gu Xiaobao called out ‘Dad’ in a sobbing voice, Helian Niancheng fell silent.
