No one knew she was acquainted with Chen Lan, how did he find out?
In her mind, a flash of the last time she was at the restaurant appeared, when she encountered a woman who looked like Tang Yuyan. Could it really be Tang Yuyan? Had she come back?
"I don’t know what you’re talking about! I don’t know any Tang Yuyan or Chen Lan!"
Having said that, she no longer paid attention to the man, grabbed her handbag, and hurriedly left the entrance of the Gu Mansion!
Watching her rush off, the man completely saw the guilt in her demeanor.
The more guilty she was, the more it proved she knew Chen Lan and Tang Yuyan.
Perhaps she and Chen Lan had orchestrated everything that happened back then.
Gu Qiangwei stayed in the ward until nine o’clock at night, having been there all along with Nangong Xi.
"Xi, you can’t keep clinging to Sister Qiangwei. She was startled today and she got hurt too. You need to let her go back and rest, alright?"
By the bed, Tang Yuyan couldn’t help but speak up as she watched her son incessantly chatting with Gu Qiangwei.
Nangong Xi looked up at his mother and ultimately pouted reluctantly, "Alright then, Sister Qiangwei, go and rest..."
Gu Qiangwei smiled gently at him, "Then shall I come visit you tomorrow?"
She also wanted to go back because Qin Sijue had already called her several times!
Right then, her phone rang again!
Qin Sijue, rarely free from handling official duties, was now lying in bed after having taken a shower, but he just couldn’t fall asleep. He tossed and turned, constantly watching the clock, feeling as if the hands of the clock were completely still, which was torturous!
"When exactly are you coming back?"
"You’ve said that four times already!" Yet he had been waiting for more than an hour and she still hadn’t returned!
"I’m really about to head back."
"Then I’ll come pick you up!"
Having said that, without giving Gu Qiangwei a chance to respond, he hung up the phone and got up, rushing out of the master bedroom.
Just as he reached the door, as if something occurred to him, he paused momentarily, then turned around, walked to the walk-in closet, and grabbed a down jacket for Gu Qiangwei.
She was probably still wearing his coat.
In the ward, looking at the phone that had been hung up on her, Gu Qiangwei knew that Qin Sijue would be arriving shortly.
She lifted her eyes and smiled at Nangong Xi on the hospital bed.
"I’m heading off now, see you tomorrow."
"Okay, goodbye Sister Qiangwei."
She smiled, stood up, and after saying goodbye to Tang Yuyan and Nangong Mingchuan, she turned and left the ward.
Just as she reached the first floor of the inpatient department, Qin Sijue arrived, holding a white down jacket.
Upon seeing her, he took off the men’s suit jacket she was wearing, "Put this on."
By late night, the cold air had grown even more intense.
"Actually, I could have gone back by myself."
"I like picking you up!"
With a single sentence, assertive and imperious, he extended his long arm, drew her into his embrace, and walked towards the hospital’s entrance.
Before long, it was New Year’s Eve.
Early in the morning, Gu Qiangwei stood in front of a full-length mirror, holding several outfits, undecided.
Today was her first visit to the Commander Residence, should she dress more vibrantly or more simply?
On one side was a red woolen coat, on the other a pure white down jacket, which one should she wear?
Meanwhile, Qin Sijue was already prepared, and when he returned to the bedroom, he found her still standing undecided in front of the mirror.
"What are you doing?" He approached, looking at her reflection in the mirror with his handsome face resting on her shoulder.
