Wu Gang left the hotel looking like home and didn't return to Yunding, instead he went straight back to his place.
Before he could even enter, Wang Yanli, as if she had anticipated his arrival, stopped him at the door.
"Auntie, what's wrong?" Wu Gang asked in confusion.
Wang Yanli opened her mouth as if to say something but then seemed at a loss for words.
Wu Gang's heart stirred, and he vaguely guessed what it might be. He asked with a smile, "Auntie, could it be that Xia Rou is back?"
"Yes..." Wang Yanli nodded truthfully. She bit her lip and said, "Xiaogang, you know Xia Rou's temperament. If she says something excessive, please don't take it to heart."
"I understand, Auntie. These years, if not for me, you wouldn't have had to stay in Lingquan Village all the time, suffering so much because of me."
"Although Xia Rou is your niece, she has no parents and has always regarded you as her birth mother. It's normal for her to dislike me." Wu Gang quickly offered reassurance.
