Gu Jiangnian hurriedly pushed open the bedroom door, and what he saw first was Jiang Muwan sitting on the bed, hugging the quilt and crying uncontrollably.
The sight of her sobbing appearance made Gu Jiangnian's heart tremble.
He quickly stepped forward and embraced her, his gentle and soothing voice mingling with the cries, "Manman, Manman, don't cry, don't cry."
Jiang Muwan's crying weakened a bit upon seeing Gu Jiangnian.
But the sobbing sound persisted.
"Alright, alright, if you keep crying, you'll wake up mom and uncle," the man's broad palm gently stroked her hair to her back.
His tender words gradually replaced the crying.
"Where did you go?"
"I didn't eat dinner, so I was downstairs making food," Mr. Gu informed her, then pondered over what Jiang Muwan meant by asking where he went and looked at her warmly, asking, "Were you looking for me?"
The person who had been crying looked pitiful.
Her gaze at Gu Jiangnian seemed extraordinarily aggrieved.
