But after a long while, there was no response from the other end.
Looking at the motionless phone, Gu Qiangwei didn’t wait any longer, stood up, and went upstairs.
As the night deepened, she felt rather tired without realizing it and, after lying down for a while, she fell asleep.
After dealing with some matters, Qin Sijue returned to the master bedroom.
After his shower, he saw Gu Qiangwei already deep in sleep, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly as he was about to lie down, when the phone on the bedside table began to ring.
He turned his head at the sound, his sharp gaze immediately catching the WeChat message on the screen, with the contact name ’Shen Mochen’.
Seeing those familiar three characters, his brows furrowed slightly, then he picked up the phone and opened the message.
The previous message was from Gu Qiangwei: "Mochen, are you okay?"
And his reply was just two simple words: "I’m fine."
Qin Sijue’s brows tightened, disliking the idea of another man eyeing his woman, feeling a sudden urge to block Shen Mochen.
But turning his head and looking at the sleeping Gu Qiangwei, he ultimately put down the phone.
Just as he lay down, the phone rang again, Qin Sijue glanced over, and saw a new message light up at the top of the screen: Shen Mochen: "Have you gone to bed?"
Qin Sijue’s brow deepened, but in the end he did nothing, lay down, and spooned Gu Qiangwei from behind, falling asleep.
As the New Year approached, Gu Qiangwei finally finished a year’s worth of work.
Well, although she hadn’t worked for a full year.
Upon waking up early, she saw the world outside her window engulfed in a vast whiteness.
Then, she received a call from Huo Yishan, saying that this year’s snow scenery was the most magnificent in history, inviting her to watch the most beautiful snow scene from the J Building.
Once she was ready, she donned a black down jacket, eager to go downstairs.
Just as she descended the stairs, she heard Qin Sijue’s voice from behind.
Gu Qiangwei turned around and saw him coming down with easy strides, stopping in front of her.
Then he raised his hand and wrapped a white scarf around her neck.
"The snow is heavy, make sure you stay warm."
Feeling the warmth in her heart from him personally wrapping the scarf, Gu Qiangwei looked up and gave him a sweet smile, "Thank you!"
He curled his lips, unable to resist planting a deep kiss on her lips,
Watching him, Gu Qiangwei turned and walked out.
Watching her figure disappear at the entrance, Qin Sijue slightly pursed his lips.
Compared to Gu Qiangwei, Qin Sijue had to stay busy until New Year’s Eve before he could rest.
But he had promised to finish his work at noon and then find her at the J Building.
And the J Building was not far from the Dijue Group.
After handling everything as fast as he could, Qin Sijue walked toward the J Building, but upon arriving at the entrance, he unexpectedly bumped into Nangong Mingchuan and his family of three.
His steps faltered, his cold gaze sweeping over Nangong Mingchuan and Tang Yuyan.
"It’s you! Where is Sister Qiangwei!?"
Between them, Nangong Xi, holding his parents’ hands, looked up at Qin Sijue with his clear, dark eyes.
Qin Sijue looked down, his gaze landing on Nangong Xi’s pure and handsome face.
Before, perhaps you wouldn’t notice at a glance, but now, if you looked carefully, his features were indeed very similar to Gu Qiangwei’s.
He didn’t pay attention to Nangong Xi but instead raised his gaze, glancing at Nangong Mingchuan and Tang Yuyan.
He suddenly called out Tang Yuyan’s name.
These unexpected words left Tang Yuyan and Nangong Mingchuan stunned, leading them to exchange a look with each other.
