Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Not a Boyfriend?
She was so honest before, she wouldn’t have lied to him, so why did she suddenly claim it was a real marriage? Could it be that she was threatened by Qin Sijue?
“No,” Gu Qiangwei looked up calmly and spoke.
It wasn’t exactly a threat, rather she had her compelling reasons.
It had been twelve years, and she really wanted to know if her mother was still in this world.
Why had she left without saying goodbye back then? Was she alive, dead, or had someone harmed her?
She just wanted to find an answer.
“Then why did you want to—” Shen Mochen was still somewhat worried about her.
He had liked her from their college days to her graduation, his heart always revolving around her, but in the blink of an eye, she had become someone else’s wife.
Before he could finish his words, Gu Qiangwei, not knowing how to explain clearly, stood up abruptly, interrupting his inquiry, “Mochen, I really appreciate your care for me.”
After nodding slightly, she turned around and quickly pulled up Qin Sijue, who was still sitting in the chair, glaring intently at Shen Mochen, and headed rapidly toward the restaurant’s entrance!
Watching their retreating figures, Shen Mochen remained fixed in his seat, his gaze lingering for a long time.
By the time they came out of the teahouse, it was already one o’clock in the afternoon.
Up until now, Gu Qiangwei still hadn’t had lunch.
She turned her head, cautiously looking at the man in the driver’s seat, trying to gauge his mood.
However, as she turned her head, she met a pair of narrow, pitch-black eyes, inscrutable and vaguely hinting at an indelible danger.
She paused, quickly averted her gaze, and turned back.
Qin Sijue was glaring at her, making her feel extremely uncomfortable!
She knew he was blaming her for breaking her promise by telling Shen Mochen about the fake marriage.
After pondering for a while, she turned her head, trying to explain, “Mochen is a senior from my university days, he has always taken good care of me, so when he asked, I—”
“I’m not interested in your affair with that adulterer.”
Before she could finish her sentence, Qin Sijue turned his head, started the car, as if he really had no interest in her relationship with Shen Mochen, and instead seemed a bit unwilling to hear about her past with him!
“He is not some adulterer!”
Since there was no need to leave Jueyuan, she also had no need to use Shen Mochen as an excuse to leave.
His consistent reference to an adulterer filled her with a sense of guilt, compelling her to retort.
“Then what is he?” He raised an eyebrow, eyeing her with interest, as if he was quite intrigued by the answer.
She was quiet for a few seconds, her gaze colliding with his deep eyes.
“A college senior, a friend after graduation.”
She couldn’t help glaring at him, feeling like he was deliberately making her contradict herself.
Because she had previously used Mochen as a shield, claiming he was her boyfriend.
But owing to her guilt, she still couldn’t help but admit the truth, “No.”
He smiled with satisfaction.
Just then, a rumbling sound came, and his gaze drifted to her protesting stomach, then he asked, “What would you like to eat?”
The steering wheel turned sharply, and soon, the luxurious Bugatti Veyron disappeared amid the ceaseless flow of traffic.
Gu Qiangwei thought for a moment and realized she hadn’t had Grandma’s preserved egg and lean pork congee in a long time.
“Preserved egg and lean pork congee,” she blurted out.
Qin Sijue furrowed his brows sharply, giving her a sideways glance.
“Preserved egg and lean pork congee at noon?”
She raised her eyes, noting the reluctance on his face, and decided not to continue.
“Then anything is fine,” her tone couldn’t help but sound a bit dejected.
