So, was she just pretending earlier?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then earlier you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qiangwei held back her laughter, enjoying seeing him so anxious that he didn’t know how to explain himself; it was adorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effort she made to suppress her amusement instantly made Qin Sijue realize something, and he took a large step towards her, “Are you deliberately vexing me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qiangwei lowered her head and then lifted it again, looking at him, “I was just…joking around!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joking around!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled her in close, his presence dangerously overwhelming as he brought his intense gaze closer, “Joking?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing danger, Gu Qiangwei hurriedly admitted her mistake, “I was wrong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she spoke, she tried to turn and flee!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qin Sijue would not give her that opportunity. She had provoked him and thought to run away? There was no escape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled her back, knowing she was pregnant, so he tried as much as possible not to touch her abdomen, and before she could react, a somewhat punishing kiss descended and completely enveloped her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t touched her for a month, and he didn’t dare to prolong the kiss too much, fearing it would ‘stoke the flames.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ‘punishing’ her rather extensively, Qin Sijue finally felt some relief, and just then it was time to leave work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together, the two of them left the CEO’s office and took the elevator down to the lobby on the first floor.\u003C\u002Fp>",658,"2026-06-06T09:48:51.609Z",1,"novelbin.me","93e43c2fd44d4cfe626128b2abbbece4ea27a05e989d954d01762d06e912320c","contract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-chapter-705","contract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-chapter-703",1565,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontract-marriage-love-has-finally-arrived-cover.jpg"]
