Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Do You Dare to Run Away From Me Again?
The two faced each other, and before Gu Qiangwei could speak, the man’s dangerous aura overwhelmed her, “Do you still dare to run away from me?”
Confronting his deep gaze, Gu Qiangwei was frozen for a long time.
Eventually, the familiar sound of a phone ringtone broke the prolonged silence.
Gu Qiangwei came back to her senses and took out her phone, seeing that it was Xianggu who had called.
“I’m here, where are you?”
Gu Qiangwei glanced at the man across from her, pursed her lips, and her gaze fell again as she spoke softly, “I’m at the Orange Orchard, where are you? I’ll come find you right away!”
Xianggu glanced around at the environment, finally saying, “I’m at the hotel entrance, I’ll go check in first, wait for you!”
She had planned to book hotel rooms for Xianggu and Li Yuan earlier, but since Qin Sijue was present, she was afraid to speak up, fearing that he would fiercely “punish” her!
She was naturally not afraid of many things, but now she feared Qin Sijue’s “punishment” the most!
Seeing that she had picked a basket full of oranges, Gu Qiangwei was satisfied. Looking up at Qin Sijue, she said, “Let’s go back!”
It was still early, and since she said to return right after taking a call, Qin Sijue’s brows furrowed, “It’s still early, there’s a Peach Orchard ahead, are you sure you want to return to the hotel now?”
Gu Qiangwei nodded without hesitation, “Yes!”
His dangerous eyes narrowed as he drew closer to her, “It’s still early, why are you in such a hurry to go back?”
Gu Qiangwei felt guilty under his scrutiny and stuttered, “Uh… I have a friend, who happens to be here, we agreed to meet.”
Qin Sijue’s brow furrowed, “A friend?”
“Yes!” She nodded vigorously!
“A man?” he asked again.
Gu Qiangwei paused for a moment, then noticed the subtle hint of probing in his tone and instantly understood!
“A woman! It’s that friend who I paired with as a couple in the game!”
“Nangong Mingchuan!?” His brow furrowed tightly, his handsome face already showing slight displeasure!
Gu Qiangwei was stunned, momentarily not realizing who Nangong Mingchuan was!
Only upon recognizing the familiar double surname did she remember he was Nangong Feifei’s father, suddenly feeling somewhat tearful!
“No, I have told you, the ‘husband’ in my game is a woman!” Originally, it was just to get some extra rewards and experience, that she and ‘Xianggu’ applied to become a couple.
And Xianggu just happened to want to pair up as a couple, not really looking for a ‘husband’ in the game! So they hit it off and quickly applied to become a couple!
Qin Sijue stared at her, this time not in a hurry to believe or not, as following along would naturally reveal the truth.
Although it was autumn, perhaps due to the nice weather and the island’s geographical location, by the time Li Yuan arrived on the island, he was sweating profusely, utterly fed up with the damn heat!
Finally reaching the hotel entrance, he wasn’t in a hurry to look for Qin Sijue and Gu Qiangwei, but instead rushed to book a room and comfortably take a shower, hating the feeling of being drenched in sweat!
“I’ll take a Presidential Suite!”
“I’ll take a Presidential Suite!”
At the hotel front desk, the voices of a man and a woman coincidentally rose together, each slapping their IDs and cards on the counter.
The staff member glanced at the attractive pair in front of him, paused for a few seconds, then started checking the room availability.
Shortly after, he looked up apologetically at the man and woman, “I’m sorry, sir, miss, our hotel only has one Presidential Suite left!”
