Qin Sijue’s gaze dropped slightly as his deep eyes quietly glanced at her, but ultimately, he didn’t answer.
With Tang Yuyan also injured and admitted to the hospital, Gu Qiangwei seemed to have lost the will to leave and stayed the whole night in the hospital.
And Qin Sijue kept her company the entire night.
As the sky brightened, the whisper of Nangong Xi, still half-sleepy, echoed in the quiet ward, waking Gu Qiangwei, who was napping.
She opened her eyes and her gaze naturally fell on Nangong Xi on the hospital bed; she then got up and walked over.
As she got closer, she realized that he was dreaming. In the dream, he was gently calling out for Tang Yuyan.
Looking at the sleeping Nangong Xi, Gu Qiangwei moved closer, bent down to pull his quilt up, and looked out the window. The day had just started to dawn, so she returned to the sofa.
Just as she turned around, she saw Qin Sijue, who had also spent the entire night in the hospital with her, maintaining a dozing posture since last night, leaned back on the sofa backrest, supporting his temple with his hand.
Looking at Qin Sijue like that, Gu Qiangwei found herself momentarily enchanted.
He evidently detested the Nangong Family so much, yet he stayed the night here; was she making it too hard for him?
As she was thinking, a long arm suddenly extended, pulling her into his embrace, yet his narrow and profound eyes remained gently closed.
Afterward, a deep and magnetic voice emanated from above her head, sounding especially pleasant and melodious in the quiet morning.
"Have you had your fill of looking?"
Gu Qiangwei was startled for a moment, looking up slightly only to see his serene face, his thick eyelashes drooping like curtains over his irresistible face.
Only then did he slightly open his eyes, meeting her sparkling dark pupils, his eyes warm and profound, "You woke me up."
He hadn’t really been asleep.
She pursed her lips, a slight apologetic expression crossing her fair face, "Sorry."
"Just saying sorry seems rather insincere," he complained.
Gu Qiangwei was stunned, "What?"
"Saying sorry, should there not be some genuine sincerity? Speech alone is not convincing."
"..." Meeting his slightly suggestive gaze, Gu Qiangwei realized in the next instant what he was insinuating, and couldn’t help but stand up, pushing him away disdainfully.
It was fine to kiss at home, but in public, she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed and shy.
But she was already in his arms and couldn’t easily escape, just as she was about to get up, he pulled her back with force and dominated her tender, addictive lips!
Perhaps knowing that Nangong Xi was still asleep and that Nangong Mingchuan was in Tang Yuyan’s ward, Gu Qiangwei did not resist the kiss.
As the kiss released, Gu Qiangwei’s peripheral vision caught sight of a figure sitting up in bed.
Glancing over, she indeed saw the awake Nangong Xi, blinking his large eyes as he watched the two of them.
Gu Qiangwei: Embarrassed face...
"Sister Qiangwei..." The little guy looked at her curiously, his small face filled with wonder.
Gu Qiangwei had a bad feeling about it, "Yes?"
The little guy glanced at Qin Sijue and then back at her, "Why does he always like to kiss you?"
"Because she is my wife, just like your dad kisses your mom," Qin Sijue didn’t feel any awkwardness, looking at the little guy with a serene self-assurance.
Nangong Xi bowed his head, recalling that indeed, sometimes dad would kiss mom as well.
Gu Qiangwei remained with an embarrassed look, utterly at a loss for what to say! She really wanted to find a hole to crawl into!
