Chapter 1118: A Look of Respect
In Gu Ming’s eyes, Hai Xue not marrying for twenty years must an she still loves him, right? But why does she say she doesn’t love him anymore, just like that?
He chuckles bitterly, knowing he no longer has the right to speak of love, yet finding that the other no longer loves him still brings a stabbing pain.
After finishing pruning the pogranate tree branches, Hai Xue politely nodded to Gu Ming: "I’ll go help the servant, please feel free."
Gu Ming was secretly surprised when he heard her call ngyu a servant; this title indicates that she has completely accepted ngyu as a daughter-in-law and even cares for her like her own young relative.
When did her relationship with ngyu beco this good?
At this mont, Nan Xiao arrived.
Gu Dongxing promptly welcod him: "Uncle is here, please co in."
Nan Xiao glanced at him coldly: "This is my daughter’s ho, also my ho. I am the real master here."
Gu Dongxing felt a bit embarrassed: "Yes, yes, this is Uncle’s ho, and I’m a guest, but today I’ll just pretend to be a server, providing service for Uncle, Uncle, please sit, Uncle, please drink tea!"
Gu Ming watching from the side was taken aback: his son had never treated him like this before!
Nan Xiao was left speechless by Gu Dongxing’s words and glanced at Gu Ming.
Gu Dongxing quickly made introductions for them: "Uncle, this is my dad, Gu Ming. Dad, this is ngyu’s dad Nan Xiao, a great hero."
"Hello, hello!" Gu Ming promptly extended his right hand.
"Hello!"
Nan Xiao despised Gu Ming, a man who let go of the woman he loved but couldn’t get over her, and kept a woman he never cared about at ho, ultimately hurting both.
Such a man, what’s the point of living?
But for his daughter’s sake, he still grasped the other’s hand for a handshake.
Hai Xue, who had just stepped into the kitchen, ca out again: "The relatives are here."
Gu Dongxing quickly introduced again: "This is my mom, Hai Xue. Mom, this is ngyu’s dad, Nan Xiao."
Hai Xue extended her hand as well: "Hello, relatives. From now on, we are family."
Her deanor was even more natural than Gu Ming, not arrogant or humble, earning Nan Xiao’s respect.
Inside, ngyu was processing ingredients and quickly ca out to greet them. Seeing her father not using his authority to pressure Gu Ming, she felt relieved. She hurriedly said: "Uncle Gu, Aunt Hai, Dad, you please sit, I’ll go cook."
Hai Xue naturally stood up again: "Let’s do this together."
ngyu quickly said: "No need, I can handle it myself."
Hai Xue looked at ngyu with a loving gaze: "There are many people today; it’s too tiring for you to do it alone. Let’s do it together."
Nan Xiao observed that Hai Xue, graceful and demure, without expecting to be served by others, went to the kitchen to help ngyu with the work, and felt even more satisfied: This relative is not bad.
Gu Ming felt uncomfortable seeing Nan Xiao gaze appreciatively at Hai Xue.
Though divorced for years, he still considered Hai Xue his woman, unwilling to let another man recognize her worth.
He casually shifted his position to block Nan Xiao’s view: "Relatives, please enjoy the tea, it’s excellent."
Nan Xiao understood Gu Ming’s petty intentions, feeling more disdain for him: "My daughter’s tea is naturally excellent."
He picked up the tea and took a sip, imdiately realizing how good it was; it was spiritual tea.
He secretly cursed ngyu for not reserving spiritual tea for him, yet using it to entertain these mortals!
Entirely forgetting, he himself was one of the guests today.
