Upon entering, the butler took the overcoat that Gu Qichen had removed: “Master, mistress, the master and miss are waiting for you in the dining room.” Gu Qichen asked a question: “Where’s Xiao Han?”

The butler replied, “Young Master Han also just came back not long ago. He should be in the dining room as well.”

Gu Qichen nodded, ascended the stairs and headed towards the dining room.

Xia Yangyang trailing behind him silently with a cake in her hand.

The lily flowers gifted by the landlady, she had left them in the car and did not bring them in.

Seeing Gu Qichen, Gu Mingzhu broke into a smile instantly. She walked over, gently touched Gu Qichen’s face and suddenly frowned, “Ah Chen, have you lost weight?”

Gu Qichen replied gently, “No, I’ve only been on a business trip for a few days.”

Gu Mingzhu scrutinized him for a while, “You have lost weight indeed. You’ve always been fussy since you were young. You must not have eaten properly being outside. Next time you go on a business trip, I’ll have the family chef go with you to avoid worrying about you not eating well.”

Gu Qichen, feeling helpless, “I’m on a business trip, not a vacation.”

Gu Qichen changed the subject, “What did you do today?”

Gu Mingzhu smiled and replied, “Steamed grouper, braised pork ribs, oil braised prawns, and lion’s head meatballs, all your favorite home-cooked dishes.”

The Gu Family in fact had a dedicated chef who always came up with a variety of high-end seafood dishes and imported food ingredients.

But they barely got to enjoy these simple, home-cooked dishes.

Gu Mingzhu said to Xia Yangyang, “Once Ah Chen had lion’s head meatballs in a private restaurant in Yangzhou when he was young, he kept asking to have it again after coming back. We invited several chefs, but they all said that was not lion’s head, but meatballs. In the end, I had to go to Yangzhou myself and learned it for two months. After I returned and made him that dish, you can imagine just how picky he is.”

Xia Yangyang chuckled, “Sis, you’re really good to him.”

Gu Mingzhu looked at Gu Qichen with a loving gaze and said with a smile, “Of course, he’s my dearest little brother.”

It was at this moment, Xia Yangyang noticed that Gu Zhaohan had been sitting at the dining table.

His gaze had been locked onto Gu Mingzhu.

There was a trace of habitual melancholy in his eyes.

Xia Yangyang, who had not stayed long at the Gu compound, had also noticed it clearly.

Gu Mingzhu seemed more concerned about her own younger brother, spoke more to him, took care of his appearance and even helped him tie his necktie whenever he went out.

Gu Qichen was also like a child in front of Gu Mingzhu.

But Gu Mingzhu seemed to concern herself much less with Gu Zhaohan.

Not that she didn’t care, but her expressions of it were less direct.

This was also due to Gu Zhaohan’s personality, he always seemed closed-off and cold, as if he was keeping everyone at arm’s length.

Xia Yangyang handed the cake to Gu Zhaohan, “Congratulations on your discharge, this is for you.”

Gu Zhaohan said one word, “Thank you.”

During dinner, it was always the elder, Gu Mingzhu, and Gu Qichen doing the talking.

Gu Zhaohan didn’t say a word.

Xia Yangyang, who’s usually the most lively and talkative, spent the evening mostly eating quietly.

Gu Mingzhu noticed it and asked, “Yangyang, what’s wrong with you today, do you have something on your mind?”

Xia Yangyang quickly shook her head, “Nothing, I’m just thinking about some stuff.”

Gu Qichen then spoke in a calm voice, “Dad, sis, Yangyang and I are moving out tonight.”

Xia Yangyang looked up at Gu Qichen, surprised.

The elder asked, “Why are you moving out when you’ve been living quite well here?”

Gu Mingzhu interjected, “Dad, let it go. What’s the point in keeping the two of them here? Ah Chen is newly married, let him enjoy some alone time with his wife. If they want to move out, let them. But do remember to visit us often..”
