Chapter 108: Chapter 108 Dear, you’re online
Watching her guilty and blushing demeanor, Qin Sijue seemed to be in a good mood, his lips curling slightly as he elegantly cut the steak on his plate, then uttered two words.
Gu Qiangwei paused in her eating, lifting her eyes to glance at the man.
By this time, Qin Sijue was no longer looking at her but was attentively savoring the delicious dinner.
Once dinner was over, Gu Qiangwei tried to stand up.
But there was still a slight pain in her ankle, and all she could do was frown and stagger step by step away from the dining table.
However, before she had taken a few steps, her slender body was suddenly lifted into the air!
“Ah!” She exclaimed, and before she had time to react, when she looked up again, the man’s handsome profile was right before her eyes.
Qin Sijue paid no attention to her astonishment and carried her straight out of the dining room toward the second floor.
With her face pressed against his warm chest, Gu Qiangwei could clearly feel his steady heartbeat, yet her heart was filled with indescribable mixed emotions.
Looking at the man’s fine jawline, Gu Qiangwei did not struggle. Given her condition, it indeed was inconvenient for her to go upstairs, and it would have been terrible had she tumbled down the stairs.
They reached the main bedroom, and after placing her on the sofa, Qin Sijue stood up straight, his narrowing eyes gazing down at her from his elevated position.
As soon as Gu Qiangwei looked up, she met his dangerously dark pupils.
After looking at her, Qin Sijue suddenly turned and left the main bedroom.
Watching his tall and straight figure disappear at the bedroom door, Gu Qiangwei finally withdrew her gaze.
Checking the time, it was already half past seven.
She got up and walked to the dressing room. After grabbing a set of clothes to change into, she planned on heading to the bathroom.
Just as she reached the door, the familiar ringtone of her cell phone suddenly sounded.
She stopped at the sound, turned her head, and saw her cell phone ringing on the coffee table.
After a pause, she walked over, bent down, and saw the name “Xianggu” light up on the screen.
“Hey, sweetheart! Do me a favor!” The crisp and sweet voice of “Xianggu” came through the phone.
“I’m fighting an event boss, but we need five people to form a team. Do you have time now?”
Hearing this, Gu Qiangwei paused, glanced at the clothes in her hands, “I was going to take a shower.”
“Then just open your computer to help me stay online, I’ll drag you through it. Otherwise, the four of us can’t enter the map!”
“Alright, but you’ll have to wait a bit, my computer’s battery is dead.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you!”
After hanging up the phone and putting the change of clothes she was holding on the sofa, Gu Qiangwei turned around, picked up the laptop beside her, plugged it in, switched it on, and logged into the game—all in less than five minutes!
Xianggu: “Sweetie, you’re online!”
Lánshòu: “Hmm, I’m AFK now. Drag me into it, I’m going to shower!”
Xianggu: “Okay, you go!”
After making sure the computer was on and the charger was plugged in, Gu Qiangwei finally stood up and headed to the bathroom.
Soaking in the warm water, Gu Qiangwei felt utterly relaxed, enjoying a comfort she had never felt before.
And with the comfort came a slight heaviness in her eyelids; she actually fell asleep in the bathtub without realizing it.
Qin Si, who had just finished dealing with a contract, returned to the room but did not see Gu Qiangwei. Instead, his deep eyes immediately noticed the laptop left open on the coffee table.
It was the online game that their company had launched just two years earlier.
Sitting on the sofa, his eyes cold and sharp, he stared at the screen where several teammates were killing monsters together.
