Towards Shen Mochen, she really only had the pure friendship from their university days, nothing more than that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get in the car, I’ll take you to the company first.” He opened the car door for her, very gentlemanly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the time, indeed it was getting late, without overthinking Gu Qiangwei got into the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At eight forty, they arrived at the entrance of Shengtian Entertainment Company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qiangwei got out of the car, “Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to be polite with me, I’ll take your things to my apartment first, then pick you up after work in the evening.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need, just give me the address, I can take a taxi myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once in the downtown area, she wouldn’t worry about not being able to find a taxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve already said, don’t be polite with me.” His gaze was sincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He insisted, so Gu Qiangwei didn’t say anything more. It seemed that even if he didn’t give her the address to his apartment, even if she could take a taxi, she wouldn’t be able to go there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll go in first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching her enter the company building, Shen Mochen drove away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qiangwei’s new job was as an assistant stylist; being new, she was somewhat flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after struggling through the morning, she could take a break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, she suddenly took out her cell phone and looked at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that Qin Sijue would usually call her, but today her phone was unusually quiet, with no activity at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lighting up the screen and looking at the familiar wallpaper with no incoming call display, Gu Qiangwei felt a sudden sense of loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, what was she feeling sad about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving, she had nothing to do with Qin Sijue anymore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would leaving without saying anything be too rude? Should she send a message to tell him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Gu Qiangwei clicked on the familiar name and typed a text message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sorry, I can’t wait for your return…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh, that doesn’t sound quite right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delete, start over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Qin Sijue, I’m leaving, goodbye…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, no, his grandfather said that she shouldn’t see him again, he is beyond her reach—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, as if she realized something, Gu Qiangwei looked up, her gaze becoming distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her ears echoed the words of Qin Guozhong: “My grandson, you absolutely cannot reach him…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, he was someone beyond her reach. Since she had already left, why bother troubling herself again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, the cellphone in her fingers was tightly clenched in her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She and Qin Sijue would no longer have any involvement with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While still lost in thought, the door to the makeup room was suddenly pushed open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regaining her composure at the sound, she turned her head and saw a tall woman walk in, with a bandage wrapped around her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you Gu Qiangwei?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qiangwei stood up, clearly noticing a hint of hostility in the woman’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mhm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pretty impressive, huh? A person with no acting experience at all, to just take away my role like that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qiangwei was slightly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taken away her role?\u003C\u002Fp>",640,"2026-06-06T09:48:41.447Z",1,"novelbin.me","0aa3a783bb4583fa6d4cb351d15fb5d8a7f513baa5d5e929ce8a94ec9e161597","contract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-chapter-122","contract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-chapter-120",1565,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-cover.jpg"]
