Contract Marriage: Love Has Finally Arrived

Chapter 285: Chapter 285 Not the Mother of Nangong Feifei

“Is that all?” Tang Yuyan asked as she looked at her.

Gu Qiangwei raised her eyes to meet Tang Yuyan’s deep, clear ones.

The reason she had to keep her distance was indeed due to the fact that Tang Yuyan was Nangong Feifei’s mother.

“Yes.”

She didn’t dislike her. If it weren’t for the relationship with Nangong Feifei, perhaps she really could have become friends with this affable and elegant middle-aged woman.

“What if I were not Feifei’s mother?”

Gu Qiangwei was startled and stared blankly at Tang Yuyan.

Not Nangong Feifei’s mother? But Qin Sijue had clearly said that they were Nangong Feifei’s parents that day.

What was going on?

Gu Qiangwei stared at Tang Yuyan for quite a while before she came back to her senses, “You… aren’t Nangong Feifei’s mother? But you, you are clearly Madame Nangong…”

Tang Yuyan turned her head, glanced at her son beside her, stroked his rounded little head, and spoke with a smile at the corner of her mouth, “Mingchuan and I only have Xi as our child.”

Gu Qiangwei was taken aback, her gaze flickering to the young Nangong Xi in front of her.

Only one child? Then Nangong Feifei was…

Could she be the daughter of his former wife?

Gu Qiangwei felt it wasn’t her place to speculate on other people’s family affairs.

“Feifei is a child my daddy had with another woman. I don’t like her!” The little boy suddenly spoke up as he ate his porridge.

Although Tang Yuyan seemed noble and elegant with a good temperament, she inevitably became stern regarding her son’s impolite reference, “Xi, it’s not proper to be disrespectful. She is your sister.”

The little boy pouted, clearly dissatisfied, “Oh!”

Then, his bright eyes turned to Gu Qiangwei, “Sister, can we become friends?”

Gu Qiangwei was stunned. She simply couldn’t bring herself to dislike the little boy in front of her.

But given that they were from the Nangong Family, she didn’t give an answer but only smiled faintly, remaining silent.

“Sister, don’t you like to eat preserved egg and lean pork congee?” The observant little boy noticed that she had barely touched the porridge in her bowl.

Yet he vividly remembered that she had once said she liked preserved egg and lean pork congee as well.

Gu Qiangwei lowered her eyes and glanced at the porridge in the bowl. It was indeed her favorite, but today she had no appetite.

“I’m not very hungry.”

“Oh!”

With an “oh,” the little boy bowed his head and swiftly finished the bowl of porridge.

By the time the bowl of porridge was finished, it was already nine o’clock in the evening.

After paying the bill, Gu Qiangwei stood up and looked at Tang Yuyan, “I should head back.”

“Alright, we should be going too,” Tang Yuyan nodded.

After giving Tang Yuyan a nod, Gu Qiangwei turned and headed toward the porridge shop’s entrance.

As she stepped out of the porridge shop, Gu Qiangwei seemed to suddenly remember something, paused, then immediately turned around to look at Tang Yuyan and her son, who had also just come out.

“Madame Nangong.”

Tang Yuyan did not speak but just watched her quietly, waiting for what she was about to say.

“Could I ask a favor of you?”

“Go ahead.”

After hesitating for quite a while, Gu Qiangwei finally said, “Due to certain reasons, could you… not mention to anyone that you’ve seen me here?”

Tang Yuyan was taken aback. While she didn’t understand the reason behind this request, it was a simple enough favor to grant, and she saw no reason to refuse.

“I can do that.”

Gu Qiangwei was still somewhat worried, especially since the Nangong Family seemed to have a long-standing connection with the Qin Family.

Considering this, she added, “Including your husband. Don’t mention it to him either.”

“I can do that.”
