Chapter 117: Chapter 117: I’ll sleep here, you take the bed!
It took Gu Qiangwei a while to gather her thoughts after his sudden remark.
Did he just say he wanted to make Mengqi into a dog meat hotpot?
However, before she could speak, Qin Sijue went into the bathroom, had a shower, and then packed a few items of luggage simply.
Watching him pack, Gu Qiangwei momentarily forgot her intention to leave this place and couldn’t help but ask.
“Are you going abroad?”
After finishing packing, he turned around, looking straight at her on the bed.
“I’m going to a sensitive military area and won’t be back for two days.”
A sensitive military area? What was he going there for?
Because she didn’t understand, she just replied faintly and didn’t continue to ask.
Qin Sijue stood there, suddenly took a step, and walked towards the bed.
Gu Qiangwei looked up, watching him approach step by step in a daze.
“Don’t forget the promise you made to me.”
Her brows raised, then furrowed.
When had she promised him anything?
“What did I, promise you?”
“Before I return, you are not allowed to leave here.” The image suddenly flashed in his mind that maybe when he came back in two days, Jueyuan would be empty of her presence.
At this thought, he became somewhat restless.
Meeting his dark gaze, Gu Qiangwei wanted to refuse, but found herself unable to speak, as if the depth of his eyes inherently imposed a pressure that she couldn’t resist.
He was waiting for an answer, as if without hearing her promise personally, his heart couldn’t be at ease.
Gu Qiangwei paused, then calmly spoke.
“Then, I’ll wait for you to come back and discuss it.”
His lips were tightly set, he glanced at her, then turned and walked toward the sofa, where he lay down.
Just as he lay down, her ethereal voice came from the bed, “Tomorrow, are you taking a plane, or on a long drive? You can sleep on the bed tonight, and I’ll take the sofa.”
Recalling his restless tossing and turning the previous night, surely the sofa couldn’t accommodate his tall and straight figure.
Whereas her petite frame would fit more than comfortably on it.
After she spoke, Qin Sijue suddenly turned his head on the sofa, glaring at her.
Gu Qiangwei felt uneasy under his stare and her mind started to wander.
Did he think she was all talk and no action? Saying she’d sleep on the sofa yet still monopolizing the bed?
With this thought, she pursed her lips, then quietly got off the bed with a pillow in hand and approached the sofa.
“I’ll sleep here, you take the bed!”
Qin Sijue was lying on his back, just staring at her, silent.
At this point, Gu Qiangwei was confused. Could he at least say something?
“Then, should I… still sleep on the bed?” She couldn’t just stand there indefinitely if he never spoke.
After speaking, she turned to climb back into bed.
But in the moment she turned, her hand was suddenly pulled; the next instant, with her surprised cry, she fell heavily onto the sofa.
The man who had been lying there was now up, and before she could fully grasp the situation, he was above her.
“What are you doing?”
Looking up at the man who had suddenly leaned over her, Gu Qiangwei swallowed and her heartbeat quickened.
“I really like your scent.”
Her thoughts hadn’t even settled when the familiar warmth and softness suddenly pressed against her lips, making her eyes widen in shock!
He was kissing her again!?
“Qin Si… Sijue, mmh…”
