I’ll take you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need.” Leaving this place meant she didn’t want any further involvement with him. How could she possibly want his help?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything more. Instead, he turned and walked over to the couch and sat down leisurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qiangwei glanced at him, then back at the men in black blocking the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he mean that if she didn’t let him accompany her, she would never be able to leave?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, she sighed helplessly, suppressing her anger, “I need to go to work!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced sidelong at her, “And then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qiangwei looked up, shocked at his reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he doing this on purpose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clenching her teeth, she said, “Please take me there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He curled his lips in satisfaction, “Fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he stepped towards the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, her moving forward was useless; the men in black had no intention of letting her pass. Out of options, she had to let Qin Sijue move first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after waiting for several seconds, the man showed no sign of moving forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up at him with surprise, not understanding what he meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His deep gaze landed on the suitcase in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My car, it only takes people, not miscellaneous items.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qiangwei knew all too well that he was doing this on purpose!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qin Sijue, I have to leave this place!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give me a reason.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To end this agreement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t plan to repeat myself several times.” In other words, he wouldn’t end it—ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up at the man before her, Gu Qiangwei suddenly felt a pang of heartache, “Qin Sijue, you already have a fiancée, and I need my own life. I don’t want to live in constant fear because of a relationship with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the undertone in her words, he frowned, “Live in constant fear?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! Even though I don’t know who you really are, I’m very clear that we’re not from the same world. I don’t want to be the third party everyone despises, nor do I want to live under the threat of your family!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did my grandfather threaten you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After blurting out her reply, Gu Qiangwei calmed down for a few seconds, “Anyway, I don’t want to get involved between you and your fiancée.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Answer my previous question,” he said, his expression darkening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lowered her eyes and remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hint of displeasure immediately flashed across Qin Sijue’s face, and the next second, he abruptly pulled her back into the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing!?” she jerked her arm away from his grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he stopped, his narrow eyes fixed on her, “Twelve years ago, did your mother suddenly disappear?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qiangwei’s expression stiffened, and she turned somewhat pale, “How do you know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll help you find your mother. The condition is, marry me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qiangwei stiffened in shock for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The condition was perhaps very tempting to her, but her mother had been missing for twelve years, and whether she was alive or dead, even she didn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And moreover, to marry him? He clearly already had a fiancée.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You needn’t concern yourself with Nangong Feifei, or even the threats from my grandfather. Stay by my side, and I will protect you for life,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words once again brought a hint of warmth to her chilled heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why was he doing this? Why… was he being so good to her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And Nangong Feifei…” she was still concerned about the fact that he had a fiancée.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You needn’t worry about her. From now on, just remember that I am your husband, and you are my wife. That’s all,” he stated.\u003C\u002Fp>",672,"2026-06-06T09:48:41.447Z",1,"novelbin.me","6b24fa4c64a9405dcc4fb6bc0fc0460cbbcc8f3f1457e677a6089dbed8fb2436","contract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-chapter-150","contract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-chapter-148",1565,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-cover.jpg"]
