Chapter 83: Chapter 83 From now on, don’t prepare any seafood
“Yes!” Luo Chen took the order and left.
In a moment, only Qin Sijue and Gu Qiangwei were left in the ward.
Since it was just a stomach ailment and no IV was required, Qin Sijue took her back to Jueyuan after her spirits had improved.
Gazing down at the girl in bed, his thin lips slightly parted, his eyes deep and warm.
Gu Qiangwei glanced at him, the stomach pain had gradually faded, but she felt that one day she might succumb to Qin Sijue’s care.
Having more matters to deal with, Qin Sijue left after bringing her back.
Uncle Qin, as always, watched him go downstairs.
“Young Master, take care.”
Stopping at the entrance, Qin Sijue’s thick eyelashes lifted slightly.
Then he turned to look at the butler, Uncle Qin, “From now on, don’t prepare any seafood.”
Uncle Qin was slightly startled.
Wasn’t seafood porridge a long-time favorite of the Young Master? Not even that anymore?
“What about the seafood porridge?”
Leaving those words behind, Qin Sijue strode away.
Uncle Qin stood rooted to the spot, staring after him.
Why had he suddenly asked him not to prepare any seafood?
Lying in bed until three in the afternoon, Gu Qiangwei was awakened by a series of phone rings.
She turned over, no longer feeling any stomach pain, grabbed her phone and saw the incoming call labeled ‘Senior’.
The name had been saved in the past and had never been changed since.
There was a half-moment of silence on the other end before Shen Mochen finally spoke.
“I heard from Muxue that you’re not going to invest that fifty million?”
Caught off guard by his question, Gu Qiangwei sat up.
She had almost forgotten that her decision to invest the fifty million was in Shen Mochen’s favor. Today’s fuss with Qiao Muxue had led to the investment matter being left unresolved.
She was well aware that the new film required a substantial investment and without the fifty million, it might not be able to start production officially.
“Are you busy right now?” she suddenly asked.
Shen Mochen pursed his lips, glancing at the work before him, “Not particularly.”
“Then I’ll come to your office,” she decided to hand over the fifty million in person, given that she didn’t really understand anything about investment.
Shen Mochen glanced at his watch, it was three ten.
“Meet me at the tea restaurant under Starlight Building, let’s have afternoon tea together.”
“Okay,” Gu Qiangwei agreed with a smile.
After hanging up, she freshened up, changed clothes, and left Jueyuan, arriving at the tea restaurant close to four o’clock.
Looking at the man across from her, Shen Mochen’s clear eyes hid a few years’ worth of admiration for her.
In their two years at university, the moment Gu Qiangwei walked through the school gates, she had stormed into his world and occupied his heart, but he had never found the chance to express his feelings of love.
He was afraid that if he faced rejection, they wouldn’t even be able to remain friends.
Last time, he had his suspicions, but this time after hearing from Qiao Muxue, he knew for sure that she was married and to a very wealthy man at that.
At his words, Gu Qiangwei instinctively paused.
Her marriage to Qin Sijue was a sham, but faced with Shen Mochen, she didn’t know whether to tell the truth or keep it hidden.
Looking up to meet his sincere gaze, the care Shen Mochen had shown her through college and even after graduating could only be described as meticulous.
She didn’t have many friends; apart from meeting a net friend named ‘Xianggu’ online, Shen Mochen was her only friend in real life.
“I am married,” she said.
Hearing her response, Shen Mochen’s heart sank, and his fingers tightened on the teacup.
