Chapter 1270: getting more and more insecure?

At least the two of them were childhood sweethearts. even though xiangyi had been naughty when she was young and looked like a little devil, she had never done anything excessive.

“ling ze doesn’t like the way you look. xiangyi, if there’s anything important, you can just call your mother or father directly,” shi cai ning said carefully as she looked at her daughter’s expression.

Gu xiang yi snorted lightly, “i got it! he doesn’t like me. there are plenty of other people who like me!”

She was in the third grade this year. gu yu ye was also in the first grade here, but he had a fever these two days, so he stayed at home and rested for two days.

“it’s good that you’re open-minded. you’re so young, so you should focus on your studies. don’t be fixated on matters of love. what’s yours will always be yours.” shi cai ning instructed her daughter, her eyes filled with gentleness.

She nodded her head in agreement, her smile extremely brilliant.

However, her heart was very unhappy. although she said that she and bai lingze were childhood sweethearts, she still liked him quite a bit.

The other party had always been cold to her, so she did not care about it. right now, the most important thing was still her studies.

When she returned home, shi cai ning realized that gu kuangen had not returned home yet.

Usually, he would be at home at this time. gu yuye lay weakly on the sofa. when he saw his mother and sister who had returned home, he sat up dejectedly.

“yuye, aren’t you feeling better?” shi cai ning walked over and touched the child’s forehead. he no longer had a fever, but he still looked very uncomfortable.

“it’s alright, mom. i want to eat something light.” gu yuye’s nasal voice was very strong.

“no problem, mom will cook some porridge for you.” shi cai ning put down her backpack. “call your father and see if he’s eating outside.”

“alright!” she answered and took out her phone to call gu kuangen.

Shi cai ning went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for today.

Aunt long had washed all the dishes. mother jiang was already old and no longer worked here, so there was only aunt long as a servant in the house.

“mom, dad said that he won’t be coming home and will be eating with the guests outside.” xiangyi walked over and said to shi cai ning.

“oh, i got it. go get a cup of hot water for your brother and make him drink more water!” shi cai ning instructed her daughter.

She agreed. yu ye’s body was weak now. although she had gone to the doctor, a cold still had to slowly recover.

Shi cai ning was making porridge while frowning. gu kuangen had always called when he did not come back in the past. what was going on now? suddenly, he did not even call?

In the past ten years, she had not been on her guard. gu kuangen was not the type of person to have affairs. there had never been any other affairs.

可是她现在都快四十了，不知道为什么，时采宁突然之间没有了自信了。

因为她保养得再好，也比不上一个年轻的二十多岁的小女人那般漂亮自然。

时采宁熬好了粥，又煮了三个菜，等忙碌完之后，肚子真的很饿了。

“看来我们要请回一个厨师了。”时采宁笑着说，“我每天做饭也很腻，你们觉得呢？”

But now that she was almost forty years old, for some reason, shi caining suddenly lost her confidence.

No matter how well she took care of herself, she was not as beautiful and natural as a young woman in her twenties.

Shi caining finished the porridge and cooked three more dishes. when she was done, she was really hungry.

“it looks like we’ll have to hire a chef back.” shi caining smiled and said, “i’m tired of cooking every day. what do you guys think?”

Yu ye and xiang yi looked at each other, “sure, mom is so beautiful. she shouldn’t stay at home all the time.”

Was shi cai ning being looked down upon?

Her lips twitched, “i’m not doing nothing either. it’s just that you guys like my cooking, so i’ll stay at home more often. do you guys think i’m useless?”

“no, mom, you’re the best! i mean, if you really don’t like your current life, you can change your lifestyle. we’re not picky eaters!” yu ye said with a faint smile.

Shi cai ning was startled. her two children were already so old, but why was she becoming more and more insecure?
