Dad really feels that he owes you and your mom a lot over the years. Could you forgive Dad just this once?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Gu Qiangwei’s memory, this was probably the first time Gu Zhendong had spoken to her in such a humble manner. Blood was thicker than water, and to say she was unmoved would be a lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad’s in the hospital right now, could you… come and see dad?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Gu Qiangwei’s expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong with you?” The inadvertent concern that slipped out made Gu Zhendong quickly realize that his daughter was tough on the outside but soft on the inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just the old ailment, nothing serious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Which hospital?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve just finished a check-up and am about to head back. Would you come home?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That home, Gu Qiangwei didn’t want to return to, but hearing about his ill health, she couldn’t help herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For twelve years, her father’s attention had indeed been scarce, but this familial bond was hard to sever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, hadn’t he raised her for twenty-two years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up, Gu Qiangwei grabbed her car keys and left Jueyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a fine misty rain began to fall outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forty minutes later, she arrived at Gu Mansion. Seeing the familiar building, a flood of childhood memories burst into Gu Qiangwei’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered a time before Chen Peifang and Gu Shijie existed when she too had sat on her father’s shoulders, enjoying the same paternal love as other children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she walked into Gu Family’s house, a servant was already waiting at the door. It was rare for her to be let in without ringing the bell this time visiting home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The living room was empty, not a person in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The sir and madam are on the second floor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice of the servant rang out from behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qiangwei glanced at her, then headed straight for the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching the master bedroom, the door was not closed. Her gaze lifted, and she saw Gu Zhendong leaning against the bed head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing her, he hastily got off the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qiangwei, you’re here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he eagerly went to greet his daughter, Chen Peifang scoffed at the sight of the father and daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re alright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhendong smiled, “I’ve taken my medicine, nothing serious now, come sit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, Gu Zhendong warmly pulled her to sit down beside him on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Peifang, seeing this, was visibly angry!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qiangwei, where are you living now?” Throughout, Gu Zhendong bore a sheepish grin, asking the question very cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gu Qiangwei didn’t detect anything amiss, thinking he truly wanted to make amends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since her fake marriage with Qin Sijue was supposed to be a secret, she obviously couldn’t mention staying at his villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… am staying at a friend’s place for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this answer, Gu Zhendong appeared somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help frowning, “You’re not living with Qin Si?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his direct question, Gu Qiangwei was momentarily stunned, not understanding why he would ask that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her puzzled look, Gu Zhendong hurriedly explained, “Haha, what Dad means is, have you been staying at a friend’s place all these days since you left home? That last time, that Qin Si…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father’s concern was hard-won for Gu Qiangwei, and she didn’t want to lose it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She subconsciously assumed that her father was just worried about her being involved with a man at her young age, which is why he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she lied, “I have nothing to do with him.”\u003C\u002Fp>",613,"2026-06-06T09:48:41.447Z",1,"novelbin.me","48673da459d06ba3678bfaaced809e38331bbb4ecda8b5d16044853d1c36f7d9","contract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-chapter-59","contract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-chapter-57",1565,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-cover.jpg"]
