Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Where is it ugly?

So, she gently turned the doorknob, slightly opening the white wooden door, and peered inside.

At the desk, Qin Sijue was staring at the laptop screen, having opened a stack of docunts from his email.

Sensing that the door to the study had been pushed open, his dark, narrow eyes slightly lifted, and he caught sight of her standing behind the door.

“Co here.”

He raised his hand and gestured to her.

Gu Qiangwei moved her dark, large eyes and then pushed open the door, walking straight toward him.

...

Upon getting closer, he reached out, pulled her into his arms, sat her on his lap, and together, they looked at the computer screen.

“In Jingcheng, there are 103 won nad ‘Tang Xinruo.’ After excluding those of unsuitable ages, there are still 42. Take a look and see if any of them are your mother.”

Staring at the photos displayed in the docunts, Gu Qiangwei couldn’t help but reach out and scroll the mouse.

However, after having looked through all 42 won nad ‘Tang Xinruo,’ none of them was her mother.

Slightly turning his gaze, he saw the hint of disappointnt on her profile and knew her mother wasn’t among them.

“Are you sure all the information you gave is real?”

Gu Qiangwei looked up, the only things she rembered were her current na, age, and the area she had lived in as a child.

Twelve years had passed, and she had almost forgotten what her mother looked like.

“Of course they’re real. I couldn’t possibly rember my mom’s age and na wrong.”

After speaking, as if suddenly rembering sothing, he took out a pendant from under his neckline, “Right, I have this.”

He took off the pendant, which contained a photo, though it was sowhat blurry due to age.

Qin Sijue did not focus on the woman in the photo, but on the little girl’s face.

“Is this you?”

“Yeah.”

“Pfft—how ugly.”

“How is it ugly? It’s just blurry, so you can’t see clearly.”

This photo was found in the attic when they were moving; it had already been a bit blurry, and to better preserve it, she had it sealed inside the pendant, having heard that it could keep it from deteriorating for a long ti.

Staring at the photo, Qin Sijue stopped teasing her and slightly furrowed his brows, “The photo is too blurry, plus this was taken when you were a child, your mother must have been only in her twenties then?”

Gu Qiangwei nodded. The photo was taken when she was four years old, and by now her mother would be in her forties, surely no longer having the appearance of a young girl.

Seeing the gloom on her face, he couldn’t help but pull her into his arms, “Don’t worry, dead or alive, I’ll definitely find out the answer for you.”

eting his dark eyes, Gu Qiangwei suddenly felt very moved.

“Yeah.”

With a beauty in his arms, Qin Sijue’s primal instincts kicked in again!

He closed the laptop with a flick of his hand, smiling at her in his embrace, “It’s late, let’s sleep!”

As soon as the words fell, he carried her out of the study and into the bedroom.

Gu Qiangwei panicked, thinking he was going to do it again.

“Qin Sijue, I’m really tired…”

“Then rest early.”

He laid her on the soft bed, gently brushed a few strands of hair from her forehead, his voice soft as the strings of a lute.

After kissing her forehead, he turned and entered the bathroom.

Hearing the sound of running water from the bathroom, Gu Qiangwei was sowhat surprised.

He actually did nothing and let her go?

That was indeed rare.

Feeling sowhat exhausted, she closed her eyes, and not long after, Gu Qiangwei fell into a deep sleep.
