We can talk about the wedding later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Qin Guozhong had other plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The wedding must be announced tonight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His resolute attitude naturally brought joy to Nangong He and Nangong Feifei, but they were concerned about how Qin Sijue would react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if being stubborn about it had the opposite effect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, Nangong He looked at Qin Guozhong with some worry, “But regarding Sijue…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, I’m here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he was able to handle his eldest grandson, he was sure he could handle the younger one too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After glancing at Nangong He, Qin Guozhong sighed, “Old He, you go ahead to the banquet hall. I want to rest for a bit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nangong He stood up, concerned about his old comrade’s health, “Alright then, rest up. Later, let the doctor give you a thorough check-up. We’re not as young as we used to be and can’t handle any sort of strain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Guozhong nodded, “Don’t worry, I know my limits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he sent away the grandfather and grandson was that there were things he did not want to say in front of them to his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After giving him another look, Nangong He finally turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she left, to maintain an image of the perfect, understanding granddaughter-in-law for the elder of the Qin Family, Nangong Feifei also spoke up, “Grandpa Qin, please take good care of yourself. I will come and see you later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Guozhong nodded; he thought Feifei was quite good—obedient, sensible, and gently proper. Why couldn’t she catch the eye of that boy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two figures disappeared at the doorway, the elderly Madame Qin then helped Qin Guozhong to his feet, “Let me help you upstairs to lie down for a while.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Guozhong well knew that his wife was concerned about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, he might have exaggerated a bit. His chest had been tight, the anger caused by that unruly boy seemed to have gotten really stuck, making him feel a bit uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for his heart, there weren’t any problems at the moment, quite healthy indeed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine, I just wanted to scare the boy a bit. Who knew he wouldn’t even bat an eye, completely indifferent to his grandfather’s life and death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back to Qin Sijue’s unmoved demeanor, Qin Guozhong felt very frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was his dearly beloved grandfather, wasn’t he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Madame Qin was taken aback, looking at him incredulously, “You were pretending just now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her expression darken, Qin Guozhong realized that his wife was on their grandson’s side, so he had to stick to his earlier stance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No… I mean…” At a loss for words, unsure how to defend his actions and afraid of angering his wife even more, Qin Guozhong ultimately resorted to a trick!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ow…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the old lady’s complexion changed with fright, “What’s wrong with you!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Help me upstairs to rest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright, get upstairs and lie down. Don’t scare me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the old couple made their way towards the second floor together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the while, Gu Qiangwei, who had been hiding in the corridor, heard their footsteps approaching the stairs and hurriedly retreated to the master bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Qin Guozhong and his wife went to the guest room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when the hallway was quiet did Gu Qiangwei carefully push open the door and step out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She checked the living room; there was no one in sight, so now was the best time for her to leave!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Gu Qiangwei moved as quickly as possible downstairs, aiming to sprint straight to the vestibule.\u003C\u002Fp>",625,"2026-06-06T09:48:41.448Z",1,"novelbin.me","2bd5cc530e94e4f4d43a558b15faa8f64804570f53de6fe5a75bf66926718e0f","contract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-chapter-298","contract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-chapter-296",1565,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-cover.jpg"]
