Facing this man who had pressured her time and again, even if he was Qin Sijue’s grandfather, she could no longer muster any respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Qin Guozhong didn’t mind her lack of formal address.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he cared about most now was whether this girl named Gu Qiangwei would keep her promise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qiangwei didn’t respond further and simply hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still in a daze at the window, a familiar and pleasant voice suddenly rang out from behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gu Qiangwei!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was inappropriate for him to enter the women’s restroom, Qin Sijue called out from the doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vaguely, he felt that something was off about her today; she had taken too many phone calls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled by the call, Gu Qiangwei turned around in surprise, then walked out of the restroom to see Qin Sijue standing in front of the washbasins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m answering a call!” Wasn’t that obvious? She had just stepped out to take a call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m using the restroom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qiangwei: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, never mind that she had asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arm in arm, they returned to the private seat in the dining area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who was that call from just now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught off guard by his sudden question, Gu Qiangwei’s body stiffened momentarily, but she quickly regained her composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite this, the keen Qin Sijue still noticed something, his deep eyes slightly turning to stare at her impassive face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her head, lifting her pair of black pupils to glance at him, “The company called, said I need to go to a drama set in West City tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>West City? Her excuse was flawless, and Qin Sijue was half-doubtful. Even as he sought to believe her, his deep gaze remained fixed on her face, looking for any trace of deceit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or was it that he had become too sensitive lately?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like since the last time she came back unharmed, he had become somewhat sensitive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.” Gu Qiangwei nodded, and because she didn’t dare to maintain eye contact with him for long, she quickly turned away again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s so far, I’ll take you there!” His tone was domineering, leaving no room for refusal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qiangwei didn’t refuse, instead accepting it straightforwardly, “Sure! It really is quite far!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing nothing further amiss on her face, Qin Sijue didn’t dwell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they returned to the private seats, they had just sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone suddenly patted Qin Sijue’s shoulder with force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You rascal, what are you doing here!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his head, he saw Li Yuan with a surprised expression on his face, while Qin Sijue frowned secretly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was this guy doing here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His dark eyes grew even deeper, sweeping over Li Yuan’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having initially feigned a natural expression, Li Yuan grew somewhat uneasy under his gaze and quickly shifted his attention to Gu Qiangwei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“HI! Qiangwei, what a coincidence!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qiangwei smiled warmly, “Yeah, quite a coincidence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two go out and don’t even call me, that’s so uncool!” Ignoring Qin Sijue’s disdain, Li Yuan pulled out a chair and sat down on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>",629,"2026-06-06T09:48:41.448Z",1,"novelbin.me","e05a33034515b3a2302faa6ef629ed99390878115c7fe549b59ae9b84b475383","contract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-chapter-261","contract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-chapter-259",1565,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-cover.jpg"]
