Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Are You… Friends?
Qin Sijue looked up, “It’s nothing.”
As his voice fell, he stood up. The steak he had just ordered, which he seemed to have no appetite for, still lay untouched on the dining table.
“I have other matters, I need to leave first.” His tone was very calm, not revealing his emotions at the moment.
Since there was a shoot scheduled in the afternoon, Qin Feimo didn’t try to keep him. He too stood up and said, “Grandma is at my place. Remember to visit her when you’re free to ease her worries.”
With a soft hum, Qin Sijue had already turned and left.
Gu Qiangwei, standing at the corner, was feeling a bit sore in her legs.
She could have walked around freely, but because she was preoccupied with the figure not too distant, she had forgotten to move. Instead, she had been leaning against the corner of the wall, staring in his direction until now, when her feet had started to numb.
Just as she felt bewildered, she finally saw Qin Sijue stand up.
Only then did she walk out and, through the glass walls of the restaurant, she gazed somewhat absently at his face, which remained handsome. However, from this distance, that face also carried a bit of a blur, without showing any sign of the dashing and indulgent expressions he used to have towards her.
A voice rang out, snapping Gu Qiangwei back to reality.
Turning her head, she met Feng Jinglei’s clear eyes.
Standing up with her six-months-pregnant belly, Feng Jinglei inspected Gu Qiangwei with concern, her face indeed looking a bit pale.
“Miss Gu, are you alright?”
Gu Qiangwei smiled, “I’m fine, thank you.”
Having returned to the dining table, Qin Feimo and Feng Jinglei had already finished their lunch.
But Gu Qiangwei’s gaze fell on the untouched steak.
Qin Feimo noticed her gaze and thought she was curious about why there was an extra steak.
“Miss Gu, please rest assured, today’s lunch is my treat.”
Gu Qiangwei looked up, knowing he had misunderstood her.
“No need to be so formal, President. These are provided by our company.” Until now, she only knew that Miss Feng’s husband was the president of M Group, and she didn’t even know his last name.
“If both of you have finished your meal, let’s head to the sea of flowers.”
“You… aren’t you going to eat?”
Feng Jinglei looked down at Gu Qiangwei’s barely touched pasta.
Gu Qiangwei smiled, “I have finished eating.”
Thus, the three of them left the restaurant and headed towards the sea of flowers.
On the way, inside the car, Gu Qiangwei’s mind replayed the scene of Qin Sijue talking with them.
Her eyes fell on Feng Jinglei’s face, who seemed to be more approachable than Qin Feimo.
Feng Jinglei was observing the swiftly passing scenery. At that moment, hearing Gu Qiangwei’s voice, she couldn’t help but pull her gaze from the window and turn to look at her.
Looking at Feng Jinglei, Gu Qiangwei opened her mouth but didn’t know how to start.
She wanted to ask about their relationship with Qin Sijue, but if she did, they would surely find it strange, right?
After all, “Gu Weiwei” didn’t know Qin Sijue.
“What’s up?” Seeing her call out yet hesitate to speak further, Feng Jinglei couldn’t help staring at her to prompt.
Gu Qiangwei circled around in her mind for a while and finally seemed to find a way to start the conversation.
“Well, earlier, I thought I saw you talking with the president of Dijue Group. Are you… friends by any chance?”
Qin Sijue had been featured in financial magazines and had been interviewed by some media, so this way of questioning wasn’t strange.
However, the sudden reference still took Feng Jinglei by surprise.
