CHAPTER 473: CHAPTER 473: THE SISTER IS TROUBLED

Watching his mother leave easily, Gong Ruwen finally emerged from somewhere unknown.

"Mom’s gone?" Gong Ruwen cautiously moved closer to Gong Ruini and asked.

Looking at Gong Ruwen’s mischievous smile, Gong Ruini felt all kinds of anger. Look, this is her big brother, who claimed he’d charge ahead and protect her in every way.

But look now, upon seeing their mother approach with a displeased face, he quickly retreated, without thinking about what kind of situation his poor sister might face.

Is it written in the bones of the Gong men to be irresponsible? Otherwise, how come they all turned out like this, starting with Gong Qiang?

Gong Ruini coldly glanced at the mischievously smiling Gong Ruwen, indicating that no matter what, she had to show him a little bit of a good face, otherwise he might really think she’s easy to bully.

Gong Ruini had noticed that Gong Ruwen was eavesdropping earlier. Hmph, did he really think she didn’t know?

It was just that she was busy comforting Cai Meina at the time and didn’t want to drag Gong Ruwen into it. Otherwise, she could have pulled her big brother out in no time.

This time it was Cai Meina, but what if she encounters unreasonable people seeking revenge in the future? Would Gong Ruwen skulk away like this?

If that’s the case, does she even need a big brother? She’d be better off handling things herself.

Gong Ruwen also realized he had done a stupid thing earlier, but he really didn’t know their mother was asking about this, "I thought it was about something bad you did, that mom had found out."

Every time one of them did something wrong in the past, their mom never questioned them in front of everyone, only privately. This time, Gong Ruwen retreated so quickly because that’s what he thought.

Hehe, listen to what his big brother is saying, speaking of her like that, please, "When have I ever done anything bad?"

Gong Ruini thought Gong Ruwen was really too much. Although the two of them were pretty well-behaved, this brother of hers occasionally did something really outrageously stupid.

Uh, after her sister said that, Gong Ruwen finally realized, yeah, he was scolded by mom, but his sister never was. Sigh, "Sorry."

Hmph, saying sorry now, isn’t it too late? Gong Ruini arrogantly turned her head away from her foolish brother, worried that talking too much with him would lower her IQ.

"Should I talk to dad?" Gong Ruwen thought for a moment, realizing this matter still needed to be discussed with their dad, otherwise, it could really lead to trouble.

What’s there to say? Gong Ruini really wanted to knock some sense into Gong Ruwen, "I’ve almost got it sorted out, what are you going to say?"

"Do you want to make things more complicated?"

"Do you think if you talk to dad, he’ll be in a good mood?"

"And if dad tells mom about it, what then?"

"What do you think mom will think of me?"

Actually, these are minor issues. Gong Ruini was concerned that if Gong Tao knew Cai Meina was secretly discussing matters about having children, he’d be angry.

After all, it’s not just a lack of trust in him but also discussing it in front of the children. As their father, he’d feel embarrassed.

Maybe now Gong Tao won’t show it, everything seems fine, but over time, this seed could grow bigger, and what if a problem arises?

Gong Ruini expressed that under no circumstances should they tell their dad, "Mom is just a little anxious lately because she’s pregnant."

"Actually, mom really hasn’t thought too much. If we tell dad, won’t that just make him anxious too?" Gong Ruini put her foot down, anyway, she couldn’t let Gong Ruwen make things more troublesome.

Sigh, Gong Ruini really felt exhausted. No sooner had she comforted Cai Meina, then her brother showed up, making her wonder if she was too idle and eager for things to do.

Gong Ruwen pondered if his sister wasn’t being a bit excessive. Their dad wouldn’t be that useless. But considering what their dad had been through lately because of their mom, he decided to keep quiet, "Fine, I won’t say anything."

Better not to meddle and potentially add to their dad’s worries. Deciding it was best to take his sister’s advice, Gong Ruwen figured he was used to following her guidance anyway.

Hearing Gong Ruwen’s promise, Gong Ruini also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing at least one ticking time bomb wouldn’t go off.

"By the way, have you thought about what our future brother will look like?" Gong Ruini strictly had no idea how to depict her future brother, having no clue how he might look.

After all, Gong Ruini couldn’t just draw a cute chubby baby, right?

That, Gong Ruini could, but it wouldn’t be very challenging.

Plus, if she really painted something like that, who knows how Zhao Guangran would mock it. He’s always the one to seize an opportunity for mockery.

How to imagine such a thing, Gong Ruwen was also dumbfounded. Staring at the ceiling for a long time, he could only mutter helplessly, "I really don’t know what to do, Ni Zi, do you have any idea?"

If she knew what to do, would she foolishly ask Gong Ruwen?

She’d already have picked up a paintbrush and started drawing, painting a handsome young man for Cai Meina to gaze upon every day, hoping for a handsome young brother.

No, when she calculated the timing for the little brother to grow into a young man, he’d probably be past the youthful look phase.

What? You’re talking about growing up to be as ageless as the Handsome Lin? Sigh, thinking about how many years it takes for someone like that to appear, Gong Ruini knew she couldn’t expect her brother to stay so youthful.

Fine, not being a youthful heartthrob is no issue. He can be a mature man, as long as he’s handsome.

Gong Ruwen didn’t understand why his sister insisted their brother had to be good-looking. He really didn’t know what to do about her obsession.

"Um, I think as long as our brother is smart, like Ban Xia and the others, it’ll be fine," Gong Ruwen said tactfully.

"Hmm, that’s a must, but he also has to be good-looking too." Gong Ruini insisted their brother must not only be smart but also handsome. After all, in future society, appearance matters, and good-looking people have some advantages.

"Uh." Gong Ruwen really felt exhausted, no matter how he tried to persuade Gong Ruini, she was adamant about their brother being both smart and handsome.

Making it worse, "Big brother, our brother has to be more handsome than you. Otherwise, our parents’ good genes would be wasted." Cai Meina and Gong Tao weren’t particularly good-looking, but if their qualities combined, she’d have a very handsome younger brother.

A heavy blow. Gong Ruini’s words really made Gong Ruwen want to explode. This is his own sister, saying such things, where does that leave him as a brother?

Gong Ruwen had no idea how the conversation with Gong Ruini ended. The next thing he knew, he was already sitting in front of Zhao Xuran.

Looking at Zhao Xuran, Gong Ruwen felt at his wit’s end. Everyone says Zhao Guangran is a troublesome brother, but at this moment, Gong Ruwen also felt his sister was no easy case. When she got rowdy, it was no joke.
