Chapter 265: Chapter 265: This is Warmer!
That’s why he made a sudden decision to take a cruise to that so-called romantic island tonight!
He thought that Gu Qiangwei would be delighted by his decision, yet her reaction was quite indifferent.
“No,” Gu Qiangwei looked up, gazing at the man in front of her who had always been self-centered. ‘Lover Island’ sounded like a romantic name. Could it be that Qin Sijue, of all people, was showing an unprecedented interest in such a place?
“It’s just a bit surprising that you’d go to a place like that.”
Qin Sijue glanced at her, “Have I done so few things that surprised you since meeting you?”
Gu Qiangwei paused, “Not really!”
Amidst the sound of water trickling, the two stood naked facing each other, a mist shrouding the bathroom.
After showering, Gu Qiangwei called Huo Yishan.
The four of them agreed to meet at the dock, where they would have dinner on the cruise.
The evening breeze was slightly chilly, especially over the sea surface, soaking in the chill. Gu Qiangwei couldn’t help but shiver.
A slight movement, yet it still caught the attention of Qin Sijue.
The next instant, Gu Qiangwei distinctly felt a thick layer settle upon her shoulders.
Glancing sideways and looking down, she saw it was the black suit Qin Sijue wore tonight.
“Don’t you know to wear more when it’s cold?” he said to her, annoyance in his tone.
Gu Qiangwei couldn’t resist retorting, “How was I supposed to know it would be so cold outside!”
When dining inside, she couldn’t feel the chill of the deck, and besides, in this season, wasn’t this how women dressed? Was she supposed to come out wrapped in a coat?
Although she didn’t pay much attention to her attire, she still cared about it in public!
“What are you doing?”
She had just lowered her eyes when suddenly, he pulled her with force into his embrace, pressing her against his warm chest.
“This way you’ll be warmer!”
He curled up a smile, looking at the sea under the starry sky, feeling the beauty in his arms.
The feeling was just too good!
Many people were on deck admiring the night sea view. Gu Qiangwei instinctively pushed him away, “I’m not cold anymore!”
After pushing him away, she turned around and hurriedly said, “I’m going to find Yishan!”
After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped and turned around, staring at Qin Sijue, “Yishan went to the restroom, don’t follow me there!”
If he followed her to the women’s restroom, wouldn’t people think he was a pervert?
Assured he wouldn’t follow, Gu Qiangwei then turned away.
No sooner had she left than Li Yuan arrived!
“Sijue, have you… really fallen in love with Qiangwei?”
He could sense Qin Sijue’s care for Gu Qiangwei, but caring and love were two different concepts.
Darkly, Qin Sijue glanced at him, responding with, “What’s it to you?”
Having said this, he turned and walked to the railing, gazing at the sea under the night sky.
“I’m just curious!” Li Yuan immediately followed him over.
Staring at the distant line where the stars met the sea, Qin Sijue fell into deep contemplation.
Had he truly fallen in love with Gu Qiangwei?
Was this what love felt like?
In the night, staring at his slightly somber face, Li Yuan suddenly dropped his flippant demeanor and instead became earnest.
“I mean it, do you… really plan to spend the rest of your life with Gu Qiangwei?”
Qin Sijue turned, “Can’t I?”
“It’s not that… Has your grandfather agreed?”
Li Yuan knew about his cousin’s situation.
Now that this scene was unfolding again, he worried whether Qiangwei might become the next ‘Ma Qianqian,’ the girl his cousin had once liked.
Qin Sijue remained silent.
The words of Qin Guozhong still echoed in his ears.
