Jin Huazhu’s expression remained somewhat dazed, and it was unclear whether she had heard what Fu Yu said. After raising her eyes, they were full of Gu Zhiqi, and she gently waved her hand at her, "Child, can you come over and let me take a look at you?"

Due to years of coldness, the chill between Jin Huazhu’s brows was very noticeable, but at this moment, much of that chill had dissipated.

Both her expression and tone were unmistakably soft.

It was the first time Fu Yu and Fu Zhou had seen such a situation, and they silently exchanged glances, seeing surprise and confusion in each other’s eyes.

Accustomed to Jin Huazhu’s indifferent and cold demeanor, they were truly unaccustomed to this gentle Jin Huazhu.

Gu Zhiqi did not refuse and walked over to Jin Huazhu, then directly crouched down.

Jin Huazhu looked at the face close at hand, the softness in her eyes deepened, and she reached out to touch Gu Zhiqi’s brows, speaking softly, "So much alike, too much alike."

As she spoke, Jin Huazhu’s eyes gradually grew moist.

Afterward, she continued to speak in a choked voice, "Finally found."

Gu Zhiqi did not speak, she simply raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

Upon seeing this, Fu Yu and Fu Zhou exchanged another glance, their confusion deeper.

A few seconds later, they both took out their phones and began messaging.

One sent a message to Fu Mengchuan, the other to Fu Xiyan.

[Fu Yu: Head of the family, madam cried]

[Head of the family: ?]

[Head of the family: Cried?! Who made her cry?!]

[Head of the family: Where is she? Quickly give me the address!]

Fu Yu hadn’t even had the chance to explain to Fu Mengchuan the reason for Jin Huazhu’s tears before Fu Mengchuan sent three messages in a row.

Thinking that he was not quite sure of the reason for Jin Huazhu’s tears, Fu Yu also did not explain, simply sent Fu Mengchuan a location pin.

On normal days, the madam was intimidating enough.

Now crying like this, he feared he and Fu Zhou couldn’t handle it.

Meanwhile, Fu Zhou sent a message to Fu Xiyan.

[Fu Zhou: Master, madam cried]

[Master: ?]

[Fu Zhou: Madam said ’it’s too much alike’ upon seeing Miss Gu, and then cried]

After sending the message, he added an explanation.

[Fu Zhou: I meant Miss Gu as Miss Gu Zhiqi]

Then Fu Xiyan also asked Fu Zhou for a location pin.

Jin Huazhu caressed Gu Zhiqi’s brows and cried for a long time, then after calming down, wiped her tears and spoke to Gu Zhiqi with a touch of a choke, "Child, did I scare you?"

"Seeing you reminded me of an old friend, so I couldn’t contain my emotions."

Gu Zhiqi shook her head, indicating she was fine.

"Are you free? Can we find a place to talk?" Jin Huazhu suddenly realized this might not be the right place for a conversation and said this to Gu Zhiqi.

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi nodded.

So, they found a hotel nearby.

Of course, Fu Yu and Fu Zhou did not leave; however, after Jin Huazhu and Gu Zhiqi entered the private room, Fu Yu and Fu Zhou didn’t enter but stood guard outside.

Once in the private room, Jin Huazhu handed a menu to Gu Zhiqi, "Order anything you want, I’ll treat you."

Gu Zhiqi didn’t hesitate and directly took the menu.

It was already lunchtime, and they couldn’t delay eating because of their reunion.

The softness in Jin Huazhu’s eyes never faded as she watched Gu Zhiqi while she ordered.

After Gu Zhiqi finished ordering, Jin Huazhu added a few more dishes and then called a waiter to serve the meal.

After everything was done, Jin Huazhu looked at Gu Zhiqi and asked, "Qiqi, may I call you that?"

Gu Zhiqi nodded.

Seeing this, Jin Huazhu smiled softly and continued to ask, "Qiqi, how old are you this year?"
