Then, she quickly went upstairs.
Nangong He wanted to say something, but seeing her silhouette disappear on the second floor, he had to give up eventually.
Turning around, he saw Qin Sijue and his granddaughter return together.
In the sofa, Nangong Mingchuan sat upright, his mind still occupied with the last phone call he had with Qin Sijue.
This Qin Sijue, who never regards anyone highly, said today he would visit them, his ’in-laws,’ which was surprisingly unbelievable.
And he even made such a big deal about it!
If it weren’t for Weiwei, would they, his ’in-laws,’ receive his respect at all?
So-called one thing overcomes another, he wanted to see, if Qin Sijue could not marry Weiwei, how desperate he would become!
Entering, when he faced Nangong Mingchuan’s gaze, Qin Sijue also recalled their last conversation, and unconsciously tightened his hold on Gu Qiangwei in his arms.
Gu Qiangwei clearly felt him tighten suddenly, turned her eyes in surprise, and looked at him confusedly.
Seeing his daughter, Nangong Mingchuan smiled, "You’re back, have a seat."
Afterward, Gu Qiangwei and Qin Sijue sat down on the sofa together.
Facing Nangong Mingchuan, Qin Sijue spoke after a while, "Father-in-law, how have you been lately?"
His words shocked both Gu Qiangwei and Tang Yuyan.
This... Qin Sijue today seems somewhat different.
Even Gu Qiangwei couldn’t help staring in astonishment at his perfectly chiseled profile.
Qin Sijue, has he changed?
Just now he not only called his mother-in-law ’Mother-in-law’, but he even took the initiative to greet his father-in-law?
However, Nangong Mingchuan just glanced at him and casually picked up a newspaper from the coffee table, then absorbed himself in reading it.
Seconds later, he finally answered Qin Sijue’s question, "No, I can’t take on the title of ’father-in-law’."
His obviously cold tone startled both Tang Yuyan and Gu Qiangwei.
Tang Yuyan knew Qin Sijue’s personality. Perhaps because of Weiwei, he had lowered himself to respectfully address them as in-laws, but what was Mingchuan doing? Why was he making Qin Sijue uncomfortable?
Gu Qiangwei was also stunned, turning her head to look at Qin Sijue.
Since childhood, he was raised to be superior and never once regarded even his fiancee’s parents highly. It must be because of her that he humbled himself today to greet them.
Of course, as his father-in-law and mother-in-law, they deserved his respect.
But her father’s rejection from a thousand miles away, wasn’t that a bit too much...
Because he was her father, Gu Qiangwei didn’t want to say anything, but Tang Yuyan could.
She nudged her husband, "Mingchuan, what are you doing?"
Knowing that Qin Sijue, when angered, could strike anyone, why put on a demeanor of rejecting people from a thousand miles away?
However, compared to Gu Qiangwei and Tang Yuyan, Qin Sijue remained calm and composed, showing no signs of anger. Instead, he looked at Nangong Mingchuan and calmly spoke, "Ready or not, you have to take on the role."
Nangong Mingchuan paused, lifted his eyes from the newspaper, and met Qin Sijue’s calm dark pupils, "And why do you say that?"
Qin Sijue stretched his arm, pulling Gu Qiangwei closer into his embrace, then curved his lips into a perfect arc, "Father-in-law may not know, but from our second meeting, we have already gotten married."
The living room fell into silence.
This fact took both Tang Yuyan and Nangong Mingchuan by surprise.
