Chapter 232: Chapter 232: Would You Bear to Throw Me into the Sea?
It wasn’t until he laughed that Gu Qiangwei realized he was joking.
She couldn’t help but give him a sidelong glance, annoyance evident in her eyes, “Can’t you stop making such jokes?”
“Do you think I’m joking?” he suddenly said, his expression serious and stern.
Gu Qiangwei paused again, meeting his aggressively penetrating gaze.
This man, unpredictable and inscrutable, made it impossible to guess his true intentions.
“Would you really have the heart to throw me into the sea?”
“That depends on whether you’re loyal to me or not,” he said with an irreverent tone, leaving Gu Qiangwei unsure whether he was jesting or serious.
Shortly after, the car came to a smooth stop.
Gu Qiangwei turned her head and realized they had reached their destination.
Qin Sijue got out of the car first and walked around to the passenger side to open the door for her.
As she took his arm, the valet had already taken the car keys from Qin Sijue’s hand.
Side by side, they crossed the red carpet towards the hotel’s entrance, a beautiful sight under the starry sky, attracting much attention.
Once they entered the venue, they amazed everyone, instantly becoming the center of attention.
Feeling uncomfortable with the naked stares of the crowd, Gu Qiangwei’s eyes darted around and inadvertently met Shen Mochen’s gaze in the midst of the throng.
She had almost forgotten, the Shen Family was hosting this banquet.
Seeing him, Gu Qiangwei subconsciously gave him a slight smile.
For Shen Mochen, the appearance of her and Qin Sijue together was somewhat unexpected.
Because the invitation to Qin Sijue today came from his father, Shen Hua.
“Ah, Mr. Qin, your presence graces us, please forgive us for not greeting you from afar!”
Upon seeing Qin Sijue entering, the sharp-eyed Shen Hua immediately greeted him!
Watching Shen Hua’s obsequious smile, Qin Sijue concealed a smirk, but didn’t cause him any embarrassment.
Then, Shen Hua’s gaze was drawn to Gu Qiangwei at his side.
Although they had only met once, he had a deep impression of her; she was unforgettable.
“This must be Mrs. Qin then,” he said.
“President Shen sure loves to talk nonsense. If she isn’t my wife, could she possibly be your wife?”
At these words, Shen Hua’s smile froze awkwardly on his face for quite some time.
Even Gu Qiangwei couldn’t help but twitch her mouth a few times.
He was obviously just saying hello; why did Qin Si have to be so sarcastic?
“Uh, right, let me introduce my son to you,” Shen Hua quickly brushed off the awkward moment, calling Shen Mochen over.
Then with a forced smile, he looked to Qin Sijue, “Mr. Qin, this is my son, Mochen.”
Qin Sijue eyed Shen Mochen coldly, but Shen Mochen, after glancing at him, quickly shifted his gaze to Gu Qiangwei.
Today, she was exceptionally beautiful and charming; not only to Mochen, who was already smitten with her, but likely every man here would be attracted by her stunning appearance.
“Mr. Shen has a penchant for coveting other people’s wives?”
Just as Gu Qiangwei was about to speak, having caught Shen Mochen’s glance, she suddenly heard Qin Sijue’s caustic remark.
Turning her head, she saw Qin Sijue’s displeased face.
Taken aback by his comment, Shen Hua was initially confused, but it then dawned on him that his son had been good friends with Gu Qiangwei during their college years.
Eager not to offend Qin Sijue, he tried to smooth things over, “Mr. Qin, you misunderstand; my son did not mean to pry into Mrs. Qin’s affairs.”
“Oh? Is that so?” He was responding to Shen Hua but his gaze rested on Shen Mochen’s face, his mouth marginally curved in a smile, his words betraying a sense of possessiveness.
