"Don’t worry, no one’s here."
"But... but this is a public place..."
"I’ve put up a sign saying it’s under maintenance. Relax, no one will come in." After the man had spoken, he buried his face into the woman’s chest.
The woman appeared timid and flustered, yet she extremely enjoyed the thrill, occasionally letting out murmuring sounds...
Gu Qiangwei felt it was somewhat familiar and furrowed her brow.
In the instant the cubicle door opened, two people entangled in passion in the corner were so frightened that they hurriedly pushed each other away, their faces full of nervousness as if caught in an affair!
Gu Qiangwei pushed open the door, her fair and refined face so calm that there weren’t any ripples of emotion, as if the man and woman sneaking around in there simply didn’t exist.
She lifted her gaze, and from her position, she had a clear view of the other woman hastily fixing the strap that had slipped off her shoulder.
However, her expression remained composed and serene as if she hadn’t seen anything, and she stepped out of the stall.
Then, as if not seeing anything at all, she walked towards the entrance of the restroom.
The woman stood there petrified, her face pale with idiocy.
Why was Gu Qiangwei here as well?
Did she see everything just now? No, it wouldn’t do. What if she blabbed about it? How could she marry Gu Shijie and become the Young Madam of the Gu Family?
Watching her leave, the woman tidied her clothes and makeup before she left the man and walked out on her own.
After leaving the restroom, Gu Qiangwei returned to the banquet hall.
It was precisely the time when the dance event was beginning.
She immediately saw Huo Yishan dancing in the center of the dance floor and felt it wasn’t a good time to disturb her, lest the crown slip out of her hands.
Forget it, I’ll go by myself.
As she walked, she paid attention to her evening gown, only hoping that she could get to the sanitary pads she had bought before any red stains appeared.
Perhaps because she was so concerned about her dress, she didn’t notice the man walking towards her head-on.
As she looked up and saw Gu Shijie’s face, her apologetic words abruptly stopped.
Gu Shijie looked at her, his lips curving slightly upward.
The word ’sister’ nearly made Gu Qiangwei vomit last night’s dinner; she glanced at him and, without responding, attempted to leave the banquet hall.
But he stood his ground, apparently not planning to move aside.
"How have you been holding up recently?"
"What’s that to you?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Shijie pretended as if he had just remembered something, "Ah... I almost forgot, you’re not the Gu Family’s biological child; indeed, you have nothing to do with me."
"Are you going to move or not?"
"But still, we’ve lived as siblings for so many years, there’s got to be some affection if not kinship, right?"
She let out a cold laugh, "You? Worthy?"
As the two confronted each other, a sharp voice suddenly rang out from behind them.
What followed was Fu Yingying, who upon seeing Gu Qiangwei in conversation with Gu Shijie, became even more panicked, rushed over, and pushed Gu Qiangwei!
"Look at the seductive way you’re born, always liking to lure other people’s men, don’t you!?" After saying this, as if afraid Gu Qiangwei would retort, she turned to Gu Shijie, "Shijie, let’s go, can we not bother with this woman, okay?"
"So anxious, are you afraid I’ll say something?" At this moment, Gu Qiangwei opened her mouth with a smile.
