Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Can’t Sleep Well Without Me?
She just wanted to find a topic to ease the slightly gloomy atmosphere, but couldn’t think of anything else at the moment, so she blurted out about him not returning to his room last night.
As soon as the words left her mouth, Qin Sijue on the main seat paused abruptly and glanced at her, meeting her slightly swollen eyes.
His brow furrowed, hiding the subtle care deep within his dark eyes.
He didn’t answer her question but glanced at her again before lowering his gaze to continue eating.
He was obviously angry.
Chewing dryly on the food in her mouth, Gu Qiangwei decided to find another topic.
So, “Did you sleep well last night?”
His movements paused again, and when he looked up, his eyes were profound.
“Could it be that you couldn’t sleep well without me?” His deep voice carried a pleasing magnetism, and yet his words sounded incredibly ambiguous, making Gu Qiangwei’s face turn slightly red.
She bowed her head to eat, “Not at all, you’re overthinking!”
The corners of his lips curved up slightly, as if her response suddenly improved his mood.
Picking up the chopsticks, he placed a bun on her plate, “Eat more!”
Looking at the unexpectedly added bun in her bowl, Gu Qiangwei raised her eyes and gave him a glance, unable to understand this man who suddenly became angry and then suddenly happy.
He truly was capricious!
Silently eating the bun, the atmosphere in the dining room warmed up.
After breakfast, Qin Sijue went to Dijue.
A series of events had unfolded, and Gu Qiangwei didn’t go to the company but sat on the sofa, thinking about some things.
Thinking of Ding Ruolan, who was suddenly blacklisted, she pondered for a long time and couldn’t help but make a phone call to a colleague.
Firstly, she wanted to take a few days off because she had some things she wanted to figure out. Secondly, she also wanted to inquire about the reason behind Ding Ruolan’s blacklisting.
However, a phone call revealed that no one in the entire company seemed to know why Ding Ruolan was suddenly blacklisted.
After requesting the leave, she hung up the phone.
Sitting on the sofa, the doctor’s words once again surfaced in her mind.
For 22 years, no one had ever doubted her identity, although she didn’t resemble Gu Zhendong; people had said in her childhood that she had inherited her mother’s beauty.
Was it a hospital mistake, or was she really not Gu Zhendong’s daughter?
To clarify this fact, she stood up, intending to go to the hospital.
However, just as she reached the door, two black-clad men suddenly appeared before her.
Startled by the sudden appearance of the two bodyguards, Gu Qiangwei was taken aback.
“What are you doing?”
Staring blankly at the two bodyguards before her, Gu Qiangwei asked in surprise.
She was already truly married to him; could it be that they still planned to restrict her freedom and prevent her from going out?
However, right as her words fell, the two bodyguards stepped aside to make way, surprising Gu Qiangwei once again.
“Are you going out, Young Madam?”
Startled, she absent-mindedly nodded, “Yes.”
Following the gesture of one of the bodyguards inviting her, Gu Qiangwei noticed a black sedan that had seemingly appeared out of nowhere not far away.
Turning her gaze back to the bodyguard, Gu Qiangwei asked, puzzled, “What does this mean?”
The bodyguard looked up, his expression as unreadable as a poker card, “Mr. Qin has ordered us to ensure your safety while traveling.”
Just going out and she needed protection?
She wasn’t the president after all; there was no need for such exaggeration.
