Gu Qiangwei smiled and nodded, just about to utter an ’mm-hmm,’ when Qin Sijue rejected her again.
He stared at Gu Qiangwei, head unraised, yet his words were directed at Tang Yuyan.
"Qin Sijue!" Facing his cold ruthlessness, Gu Qiangwei couldn’t help but growl at him softly.
His straightforward rejection would make it awkward for others, leaving them no way to step down with their dignity intact!
But Tang Yuyan didn’t seem to mind; she knew that Qin Sijue’s dislike for the Nangong Family was to be expected. So, she merely pursed her lips, nodded at Gu Qiangwei, and left, pulling her son along with her.
After they had left, Gu Qiangwei finally voiced her discontent with Qin Sijue, "You’re making people lose face !"
Qin Sijue glanced at her, "Why should I give her face?"
She paused, at a loss for words.
"Alright, rest well. I’ll be back in a bit."
"Where are you going?" she asked out of curiosity.
"Oh, you’re quite spirited, aren’t you!"
As he spoke, the figure of Li Yuan entered through the doorway.
He looked at Gu Qiangwei, whose color seemed to have returned quite well.
"You’ve arrived just in time, I was just looking for you."
Qin Sijue suddenly spoke upon seeing Li Yuan walk in.
With a clear conscience fearing no knock at midnight, Li Yuan couldn’t help feeling uneasy under Qin Sijue’s gaze.
His eyes darted around, "Looking for me? There’s nothing... What do you need me for?"
The kid didn’t rat him out, did he? That look in Sijue’s eyes, it’s definitely off.
He carefully skirted around Qin Sijue, holding the medicine tray, intending to change Gu Qiangwei’s dressing.
Qin Sijue just watched him, "Aren’t you my wife’s primary doctor? How could it be nothing if I’m looking for you?"
Li Yuan chuckled dryly, "Hehe... Yeah, right!"
But those eyes of yours are definitely not right!
Stealing glances at the gloom on Qin Sijue’s face, Li Yuan felt uneasy, but what could he do? He still had to change Qiangwei’s dressing!
Turning his head, he gave Gu Qiangwei a diligent smile, "Qiangwei, time to change your dressing, okay!"
She glanced at Li Yuan, then at Qin Sijue—something about his expression was indeed strange.
Looking back at Li Yuan, his movements in changing the dressing were particularly slow.
What should have taken a few minutes, he dragged out for over ten.
Of course, it took him over ten minutes, as he was figuring out how to make a quick escape after the dressing change!
"It’s done, I have another patient to see, I must be going!"
Having said that, he fled as if flying.
But the next second, his collar was grabbed from behind.
"No rush, let’s have a chat about life."
Behind him, Qin Sijue’s voice rang out, seemingly neutral, but Li Yuan didn’t miss the hidden threat it contained.
"But I don’t want to chat about life with you!"
He protested loudly, but Qin Sijue was unbothered and continued to drag him out the door.
"Sijue, let’s talk this over nicely..."
"Fine, what did you have for lunch?"
"I had, sweet and sour spare ribs, steamed turbot..."
"Didn’t have enoki mushrooms?"
This is not good, not good at all!
"Right, did you ’do it’?"
"Hehe... asking so directly, it’s embarrassing to even say..."
"How about now? Embarrassed? Huh!?"
The next instant, Li Yuan was pushed against the edge of the window!
"Ah! I was wrong, I was wrong!"
"Short, fast? Enoki mushrooms? Little toothpick?"
"I really was wrong!"
"OK, then repeat those three sentences, start with your name, Li Yuan."
