"..." So he was just asking about the whereabouts of the money, he wasn’t interested in what she was investing in, right?
But perhaps it was for the best, to keep him from asking further questions she didn’t know how to answer.
Given how much he disliked Mochen, if he knew she had invested a hundred million to help Shen Mochen, wouldn’t he have ’punished’ her harshly?
Thinking this, Gu Qiangwei quickly bowed her head and silently continued eating!
After dinner, it was already 8:40 p.m.
Gu Qiangwei went upstairs, planning to take a bath.
Just then, Qin Sijue was putting on his jacket and appeared ready to head out.
She paused in confusion, halting her steps and looking at him, "Are you going out?"
"Mm. The matter over there hasn’t been resolved yet."
"..." Not resolved? Then how could he—
Did he come back just to see her?
"Did you know I was at the hospital, so you came back on purpose?"
Holding his jacket, he approached her, his face tilting toward hers, "What else?"
She stared at him in stunned silence, realizing he really had taken time out of his busy schedule to come.
"How did you know I was in the hospital?"
"I called your phone, and Shen Mochen answered."
Recalling this, Qin Sijue actually still felt somewhat blocked up inside.
Listening to him, Gu Qiangwei finally understood why he had been so angry before.
"I was at the bank making a transfer when I ran into Chen Peifang, then we started fighting, and because of the seafood porridge I had in the morning, I started getting a stomachache and then passed out. Mochen brought me to the hospital.
Hearing this, Qin Sijue furrowed his brow, "Chen Peifang?"
Qin Sijue didn’t say anything else, but asked another question, "The seafood porridge you ate this morning? Did you eat it at the Commander Residence?"
Gu Qiangwei hesitated, blurting it out involuntarily.
Not wanting him to blame her grandmother, she took the initiative to explain, "Grandma got up early to make porridge for me; she didn’t know I can’t eat seafood."
"Then you could have chosen not to eat it."
"But Grandma was looking forward to it, I didn’t want to disappoint her. She’s the first person who didn’t dislike me."
Qin Sijue arched an eyebrow, "Wasn’t I the first person who didn’t dislike you?"
Gu Qiangwei looked up, her brows twisting, "Was that so? I remember at the mall, it seemed like you couldn’t wait to kill me, and you even had your men out to catch me!"
Goodness, she had spirited away in the mall immediately then!
She vaguely remembered that as she turned to run, she could clearly hear his furious outburst.
But thinking about it, that encounter somehow entangled them irrevocably.
Listening to her, Qin Sijue too remembered the scene when they first met.
Back then, he really did wish he could capture her and tear her into pieces!
Because she had seen his body, yet wanted to run away!
Glancing at the person before him, he grasped her shoulders with both hands, "From now on, I forbid you to acquiesce to anyone, do what you want, say what you need, just go for it. I’m here anyway."
"You speak as if you rule the world?"
"More than the world, I just want to rule you."
She pursed her lips, annoyed by his narcissistic and arrogant air, yet irrevocably enamored with him.
"I’m leaving now, you rest well tonight."
Having said that, he grabbed his jacket and needed to rush to city C.
Watching his retreating figure, Gu Qiangwei thought to herself that with him gone, she could go to the hospital now.
Yet, whether it was telepathy or Qin Sijue had heard her inner voice, his steps suddenly paused as he reached the door.
