I didn’t know what to do, so I came to look for you, Pang Pang.

Only when Pang Qian was sure that the argument outside the room had concluded, did she finally take her hands off of Gu Mingxi’s ears. She sat down weakly and let out a sigh. Gu Mingxi slowly opened his eyes, and the two of them looked at each other. The only sound they heard was the soundtrack playing from the computer speakers.

The music was meant to excite and rouse someone, not at all fitting to the current atmosphere.

Gu Mingxi’s complexion had already returned to normal. He stood up and said, “I’ll go out to take a look.”

When he passed Pang Qian, she immediately grabbed at his shirt sleeve, which made Gu Mingxi stop in his tracks.

Pang Qian stood up and said, “I’ll go with you.”

The two of them walked out of his room and slowly walked toward the living room. It was oddly quiet in the house, not a sound to be heard. Pang Qian was a bit afraid. She knew that Gu Guoxiang and Li Han had been fighting. And then she heard the loud slamming of a door, though she didn’t know who left the house.

When the got to the kitchen, Gu Mingxi saw his mother.

Pang Qian had gone into the kitchen previously. It had been very clean, cozy, and carried a delightful food fragrance. Li Han had been standing there in her apron, preparing lunch. But now, everything was in disarray.

Li Han sat on the ground, leaning against the refrigerator. She still wore her apron, but her hair was a mess, her eyes were hollow, and her body was covered in stains.

All the food dishes had been smashed. The blackfish, braised beef, corn and chicken soup… All the serving dishes were in pieces, the soup was all over the floor. Some of the broken dishware had even traveled several meters into the living room.

Gu Mingxi crouched down next to Li Han, and said gently, “Mom.”

Li Han was silent for a long time. Gu Mingxi called out to her again before she gradually returned to her senses.

Pang Qian was already picking up the broken pieces of dishware. Li Han called to her, “Qian Qian, don’t bother with that. You might hurt your hand.”

Pang Qian stopped, and looked fearfully at her.

Seeing Gu Mingxi’s family business, Pang Qian felt somewhat apologetic. She’d heard the arguments between Gu Guoxiang and Li Han very clearly. She’d been shocked. So now that she was facing Li Han, she felt a bit awkward.

Li Han slowly crawled back to her feet. She was in a difficult position, but her expression returned to its usual gentle demeanor. She said to Gu Mingxi, “Mingxi, there’s nothing to eat at home. Take Pang Qian out to eat lunch. I’m going to take a bath and clean things up here.”

Before Gu Mingxi could answer, Pang Qian said, “No need! Auntie, it’s about time I headed home anyway.”

Li Han said, “That won’t do. You came so far to get here. How can you leave without eating lunch? Mingxi…”

Gu Mingxi didn’t wait for her to finish before he said, “Mom, I’ll stay at home with you.”

Pang Qian nodded. “Mm. Auntie, Gu Mingxi doesn’t need to come with me. I’ll just go home.”
