Chapter 198: Chapter 198 So Are You Questioning Me Now?
Having bathed, Qin Sijue lay on the bed and stared at her for a few seconds before embracing her and falling asleep.
Recently, Qin Sijue had not noticed any abnormalities in Gu Qiangwei.
But Qin Guozhong’s sudden retreat still left him puzzled.
That day, after receiving a call from Madam Qin, he visited the Commander Residence in the evening.
Rarely during the weekends, Madam Qin, missing her grandsons greatly, asked Qin Sijue and his cousin Qin Feimo to come for dinner.
“It’s been such a long time since our family has gathered !” Looking at her grandchildren and their spouses, Madam Qin’s face beamed with a constant smile.
Then, she turned to her granddaughter-in-law, “Jinglei’s belly is growing bigger, you must take good care of yourself, understood?”
“Yes,” Feng Jinglei smiled and nodded her head.
However, the old lady still felt some regret, “You young people like to live outside, leaving us two old folks all alone.”
The words of the old lady did not seem to affect her grandsons.
Yet, Feng Jinglei felt slightly apologetic, “Grandma, I’ll come to keep you company after some time.”
“It’s my eldest granddaughter-in-law who is most thoughtful,” Madam Qin immediately smiled again.
Qin Sijue’s gaze, from beginning to end, fixated on Qin Guozhong.
After dinner, ignoring the presence of Qin Feimo and Feng Jinglei, he directly asked, “What did you do to her?”
Qin Guozhong turned and glared at him irritably, “What did I do?”
“You were so strongly against it earlier. Why the sudden retreat?”
Caught off guard by his question, Qin Guozhong hesitated for a moment.
His gaze inadvertently glanced at Qin Feimo and his wife.
“Let’s talk in my study,” he suggested.
As he finished speaking, he had already risen with his cane and headed toward the second floor.
Qin Sijue hesitated for a moment before standing up as well.
Watching the two figures ascend the stairs, Qin Feimo sensed something and glanced at Madam Qin.
“Has something happened?”
Thinking about her younger grandson, Madam Qin couldn’t help but sigh.
“It’s your brother. He seems to be quite keen on a girl, but your grandfather disapproves.”
After hearing her words, Qin Feimo’s gaze shifted back to the second floor.
Qin Guozhong, looking solemn, sat in a leather sofa.
“I do not wish for a woman to cause a rift between me and my most proud grandson.”
Listening, Qin Sijue found these words unconvincing.
“Back when you opposed my cousin, you weren’t this indecisive and affectionate.”
“So now you are questioning me, threatening Gu Qiangwei?”
Qin Sijue remained silent, taking it as an affirmation.
“This time, I have not threatened her, but just because I have relented does not mean I accept her.”
Hearing this, Qin Sijue slightly furrowed his brows.
This was indeed his style. He had never accepted Gu Qiangwei from the beginning, and it was unlikely that he would suddenly agree to have her by his side without any alteration.
“So what are you planning to do?”
“Nothing. If you want to be with her, be with her, but let me make this clear—as long as I do not agree, she will never become part of the Qin family!”
With that, Qin Guozhong had already risen and left the study.
Qin Sijue relaxed back into the sofa, deep in thought.
He faintly felt that his grandfather’s words still lacked convincing power.
If he had no plans for a marriage alliance with the Nangong family, perhaps he could turn a blind eye to Gu Qiangwei.
