She had agreed to stay for just one day, but since they took such great care of Qinghe and charmed her with their "sweet nothings," she decided that it would be fine to return the day before school started.
After hanging up the phone and listening to the dial tone, Mr. Gu felt so despondent. He was the one who thought he could return home after running his errands that evening, but it turned out she had gone to H City. They only found out when he called to ask if she would return for dinner.
Now, she had even decided to stay there indefinitely. Their daughter was just too sensible and independent, which left them worried. However, he also understood that Qinghe must be keeping the two brothers company. The way those two looked at Qinghe, they cherished her like a precious baby, just as if she were their own biological daughter.
