Early the next morning.
Qiao Xiguan got out of bed and walked to the bathroom to wash up.
She looked at her somewhat pale reflection and picked up her toothbrush to rinse her mouth.
Last night's behavior from Gu Minglu made her lose her temper at him for the first time.
Gu Minglu looked aggrieved, hung his head, and kept biting his lip without speaking, seemingly feeling extremely wronged.
She had just been sternly telling Gu Minglu when it was appropriate to act and what things truly crossed the adults' line.
Now, instead, she felt somewhat regretful.
After all, Gu Minglu was just a child, a child who simply wanted family unity and togetherness.
She vented too much of her personal emotion onto Gu Minglu, under the guise of doing what's best for them, but it was really just selfish self-preservation.
She sighed softly.
She quickly finished washing up, changed clothes, and headed out.
Downstairs in the dining room, Gu Minglu and Gu Mingnian were having breakfast.
