"Xiaonuan, I'm sorry to trouble you again to come see me... I'm really useless..." Lan Jinqin seemed to say apologetically.
"What are you saying? It's my duty to come see you..."
"Yes, Mommy, Xiaonuan was very worried when she heard about your situation and rushed back here with me..."
"Rushed back? Son, where did you just go?" Lan Jinqin asked in surprise.
Nangong Yaoling turned his head and glanced at Xiaonuan.
Xiaonuan met his gaze, and in both of their eyes, there was a touch of helplessness and complexity.
"Nothing... just went out to eat." Nangong Yaoling said.
Lan Jinqin nodded.
"Son, I'm a bit tired and want to rest a bit. You and Xiaonuan, do whatever you need to do, don't mind me."
"Alright then, Mommy, you rest first. I'll ask the servant to make some soup and come back to see you later."
"Okay." Lan Jinqin nodded.
Nangong Yaoling helped her tuck in the sheets, then lowered his head and kissed his mother's forehead.
