Chapter 358: Chapter 359: What Godson?
Another bullet shot out. After half an hour of training, Gu Qiangwei hadn’t hit a single ring, but this time, she finally made some progress and hit the target, even if it was only the 1-point ring…
“Qin Sijue, is learning this really useful?”
During a break, Gu Qiangwei looked skeptically at the man opposite her, wondering if learning to shoot was a bit of a waste for someone who doesn’t handle guns.
Before Qin Sijue could speak, Huo Yishan rushed to answer, “How can it be useless? I think you should always have Qin Sijue equip you with a handgun wherever you go! Plus, learn a few more moves. That way, if you ever come across Nangong Feifei, you won’t have to be afraid. After all, with me and Qin Sijue backing you up, you can just beat her up to your heart’s content, avenging my godson who didn’t have the chance to come into this world!”
Even though the baby didn’t have the chance to come into this world, Huo Yishan had already acknowledged him as her godson. Although it was just her own wishful thinking, she believed that Qiangwei would definitely agree!
Her sudden speech left Gu Qiangwei and Li Yuan totally confused.
“What godson?” Li Yuan frowned and asked, puzzled.
Huo Yishan, sipping a fruit juice, glanced at Li Yuan with sparkling eyes, “Qiangwei’s baby, my godson who didn’t have the chance to be born!”
As soon as she spoke, Li Yuan’s face changed and quickly turned to Gu Qiangwei.
After the child was lost, in order not to make Gu Qiangwei sad, they had never brought it up in front of her again. Why was Huo Yishan suddenly bringing up the most sensitive topic?
“If it weren’t for Nangong Feifei, Qiangwei’s baby—”
Seeing that she kept talking without noticing Gu Qiangwei’s forlorn face, Li Yuan couldn’t help but ‘hey’ her to try to stop her from continuing.
Interrupted by his ‘hey’, Huo Yishan was somewhat reluctant, but after noticing his gaze, she looked at Gu Qiangwei and realized that she had said something she shouldn’t have and quickly shut her mouth.
And all along, Qin Sijue’s gaze had been fixed on Gu Qiangwei’s gloomy profile.
The next second, Gu Qiangwei looked up at Li Yuan and Huo Yishan, and her lips forced out a faint, strained smile, “It’s okay, what’s past is past.”
Although she said this, everyone knew that it was her child, and how could it truly be left behind as time passed?
Before either could say anything, Gu Qiangwei had already stood up from the resting chair and walked towards the shooting range.
“I’m going to practice some more!”
Qin Sijue didn’t move and just watched her walk towards the shooting range.
During the following training, Gu Qiangwei was extremely determined and, despite training all afternoon without ever getting within the five-point ring, she never got discouraged and kept on persisting.
As evening fell, the rosy sun cast a red glow over the entire estate.
Qin Sijue approached and took the gun from her hands.
Gu Qiangwei looked at the time and saw it was still early.
“Are we going back so soon?”
“It’s not early anymore, time for dinner,” he said as he personally removed her goggles and ear protection, his voice deep, sexy, and magnetic.
She had been practicing all afternoon, other than a brief break of about fifteen minutes, she hadn’t rested, and her commitment surprised him.
He was well aware that the child was the deepest pain in her heart.
After dinner, Gu Qiangwei returned to her hotel room, took a shower, and then sat on the sofa, somewhat at a loss.
