Chapter 261: Chapter 261: I understand, no need to emphasize all the time
“You haven’t forgotten the time we agreed on, have you?”
She had just uttered a greeting when a man’s voice, slightly aged but strong and forceful, immediately came through the phone.
Hearing that familiar voice, Gu Qiangwei’s expression turned somewhat somber.
Two seconds later, she responded with indifference.
“Don’t worry, I remember.”
“Good. You’re a smart person, and I hope you won’t do anything foolish.”
Who determines whether leaving or staying is the true folly?
“I get it, you don’t have to keep stressing it,” she said, her voice carrying a hint of indifference. Facing this man who had pressured her time and again, even if he was Qin Sijue’s grandfather, she could no longer muster any respect.
And Qin Guozhong didn’t mind her lack of formal address.
What he cared about most now was whether this girl named Gu Qiangwei would keep her promise.
Gu Qiangwei didn’t respond further and simply hung up the phone.
Still in a daze at the window, a familiar and pleasant voice suddenly rang out from behind her.
Because it was inappropriate for him to enter the women’s restroom, Qin Sijue called out from the doorway.
Vaguely, he felt that something was off about her today; she had taken too many phone calls.
Startled by the call, Gu Qiangwei turned around in surprise, then walked out of the restroom to see Qin Sijue standing in front of the washbasins.
“What are you doing?”
“What are you doing?”
“I’m answering a call!” Wasn’t that obvious? She had just stepped out to take a call.
“I’m using the restroom!”
Alright, never mind that she had asked.
Arm in arm, they returned to the private seat in the dining area.
“Who was that call from just now?”
Caught off guard by his sudden question, Gu Qiangwei’s body stiffened momentarily, but she quickly regained her composure.
Despite this, the keen Qin Sijue still noticed something, his deep eyes slightly turning to stare at her impassive face.
She turned her head, lifting her pair of black pupils to glance at him, “The company called, said I need to go to a drama set in West City tomorrow.”
West City? Her excuse was flawless, and Qin Sijue was half-doubtful. Even as he sought to believe her, his deep gaze remained fixed on her face, looking for any trace of deceit.
Or was it that he had become too sensitive lately?
It seemed like since the last time she came back unharmed, he had become somewhat sensitive.
“Hmm.” Gu Qiangwei nodded, and because she didn’t dare to maintain eye contact with him for long, she quickly turned away again.
“It’s so far, I’ll take you there!” His tone was domineering, leaving no room for refusal.
Gu Qiangwei didn’t refuse, instead accepting it straightforwardly, “Sure! It really is quite far!”
Noticing nothing further amiss on her face, Qin Sijue didn’t dwell on it.
When they returned to the private seats, they had just sat down.
Someone suddenly patted Qin Sijue’s shoulder with force.
“You rascal, what are you doing here!?”
Turning his head, he saw Li Yuan with a surprised expression on his face, while Qin Sijue frowned secretly.
What was this guy doing here.
His dark eyes grew even deeper, sweeping over Li Yuan’s face.
Having initially feigned a natural expression, Li Yuan grew somewhat uneasy under his gaze and quickly shifted his attention to Gu Qiangwei.
“HI! Qiangwei, what a coincidence!”
Gu Qiangwei smiled warmly, “Yeah, quite a coincidence.”
“You two go out and don’t even call me, that’s so uncool!” Ignoring Qin Sijue’s disdain, Li Yuan pulled out a chair and sat down on his own.
