And so, the Nangong family left, leaving only Nangong Xi behind.
Before long, Qin Guozhong, Zhuang Yanyan, and the family of three, including Qin Feimo, all went back home as well.
"Sister, can I sleep with you tonight!?"
As the night deepened, the little guy would go to bed promptly at ten o’clock every day!
This was his first time at Jueyuan, and the little guy was full of curiosity about this place.
Gu Qiangwei smiled, about to speak, but she was interrupted by a sudden voice from Qin Sijue.
Nangong Xi immediately turned his head, pouting, "Why not?"
At that moment, Qin Sijue also looked like a big boy, looking down at Nangong Xi disdainfully, "Because your sister has to sleep with me!"
"She sleeps with you every day, and I rarely come over, so of course, she should sleep with me!"
"How can that be? Men and women are different."
Nangong Xi twisted his dark eyes, "I’m only 8 years old!"
"So what if you’re 8? Can being 8 change your character?"
"I’m a child, there’s no difference between boys and girls!" Nangong Xi puffed his cheeks, looking at Qin Sijue. He had slept with his mommy before, so it should be fine to sleep with his sister, right?
Qin Sijue’s deep eyes just glanced at him, "I said no, and that means no!"
Seeing that he had no chance of winning, the little guy immediately turned his head to Gu Qiangwei, "Sister, I’m afraid of the dark. At home, mommy always sleeps with me..."
His pitiful gaze was truly hard to bear.
"It’s okay, your sister will sleep with you!"
"Yay!" The little guy immediately cheered joyfully!
Qin Sijue furrowed his eyebrows, glaring at Nangong Xi.
This little boy, he’s quite crafty, huh? Still afraid of the dark at eight?
However, he remembered that Gu Qiangwei also seemed to be afraid of the dark? She always kept a small light on throughout the night.
Thinking that Gu Qiangwei was also afraid of the dark, Qin Sijue took it for granted that Nangong Xi was frightened as well.
Unable to sleep with his wife, Qin Sijue spent the whole night in the study, passing on some matters to Luo Chen.
In the bedroom, Gu Qiangwei was looking to find a set of clothes for her brother to change into, but after a long search, she couldn’t find anything suitable.
This was not surprising, after all, they didn’t have any children’s clothes.
Left with no choice, she quietly approached the study, opening a small gap in the door.
Qin Sijue was looking at an email from Luo Chen when he heard her soft voice, slightly lifting his gaze.
He stopped what he was doing.
Gu Qiangwei immediately pushed the door open and walked towards him.
And he, still in his usual manner, pulled her into his embrace, letting her sit on his thigh, encircling her, "What’s the matter? Can’t you sleep without me?"
Gu Qiangwei gave him a disdainful glance, "Not at all, Xixi doesn’t have any clothes to change into, could you go buy a set and come back?"
It was already ten o’clock, and the servants had long gone off duty, so she could only ask him to go out and buy.
Hearing that he was supposed to go out and help buy clothes, Qin Sijue’s face immediately darkened.
"I’m not going." He came to disturb their world of two, and now he wants him to buy clothes?
Seeing his flat refusal, Gu Qiangwei also narrowed her eyes, staring at him, "You’re really not going?"
"I’m not!" Qin Sijue said emotionlessly.
He would prefer if, due to having no clothes, he could send him back to the Nangong family.
However, reality and ideals always differ.
The next second, Gu Qiangwei got up from his thigh, "Then I’ll drive myself!"
Of course, she had calculated that Qin Sijue definitely wouldn’t let her go out this late.
Sure enough, as soon as she got up, Qin Sijue immediately compromised!
