Gu Miaoling pursed her lips, and looked at this youngster who had suddenly appeared. She was unable to control the glistening teardrops that were twinkling in her eyes. She felt her throat choking, and was unable to say anything. So, she just lowered her head, and softly groaned.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem…" Gu Yunlan felt somewhat unhappy. So, he coughed several times. Then, he thought in his heart, [I — such a big and living person — is standing here. Can't you see?]
"Khaff… khaff… Foster Father… you're also here?" Gu Duxing moved his eyes away from Gu Miaoling. Then, he rubbed his hands together, and smiled awkwardly.
"What do you mean 'I'm also here'?" Gu Yunlan angrily said, "This is my home. Where else would I be if not here?"
"Ahem, ahem… I meant… shouldn't you be in the study room at this time?" Gu Duxing hastily gave an explanation.
