Contract Marriage: Love Has Finally Arrived

Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Alright, I’ll Take Care of Youn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Nangong Feifei seemed to be afraid that Gu Qiangwei would come back again, so she planned to stay here until Qin Sijue returned!

Indeed, that’s exactly what Qin Bo thought. Once Miss Nangong left, he would call Young Madam back.

But who knew she’d lazily refuse to leave!

Taking her cellphone and car keys, Gu Qiangwei left Jueyuan.

She aimlessly drove towards the city center, yet she didn’t know where to stop.

Eventually, she simply found a café, ordered a cappuccino, and then took out her laptop to start gaming!

She played until 12:10 p.m., stopping only when she started to feel a bit hungry. She ordered some pastries and coffee and made do with them for lunch.

After lunch, she unwittingly played for another hour until her laptop alerted her that its battery was running low.

Looking at the popup on the screen, Gu Qiangwei pursed her lips, then dismissed the alert and sent a message to ‘Xianggu’.

Lan Shou: My laptop’s out of battery, I’m logging off.

No sooner had she sent the message than Gu Qiangwei turned off the game.

Looking at the now empty coffee cup, Gu Qiangwei suddenly sighed.

Checking the time, it was already half-past two. How would she spend the rest of the afternoon?

In her mind, she suddenly thought of that Nangong Feifei.

She was Qin Sijue’s childhood sweetheart, and from his grandfather’s perspective, she would sooner or later become his bride. She, this imposter, would one day have to move out of Jueyuan.

And the villa’s true mistress would become Nangong Feifei.

With that thought, Gu Qiangwei suddenly felt a hollow emptiness, an unprecedented sense of loss.

She raised her hand to cover her chest.

Strange, what was this inexplicable sense of loss all about…

Just as she was pondering, her phone suddenly rang.

Glancing at it, she saw the words ‘Qin Sijue’ light up on the screen.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Gu Qiangwei answered the phone, “Hello?”

“What are you doing?”

Sitting in his top-floor office, Qin Sijue suddenly felt like making a call to her.

His low, magnetic voice sounded over the phone, like fingertips on piano keys, alluring and lovely.

Gu Qiangwei hesitated a few seconds before answering, “Playing on the computer.”

“Have you eaten?”

She pursed her lips. What time was it already? Of course, she had eaten, wasn’t that obvious?

“Hmm!”

And Qin Sijue seemed somewhat awkward, wanting to hear her voice but unable to find a natural topic for conversation.

Following her ‘Hmm’, silence fell inside.

Gu Qiangwei pursed her lips, thinking he had hung up.

“Hello?”

“Hmm.”

He hadn’t hung up…

“You… Are you not busy?” For some reason, Gu Qiangwei suddenly also wanted to hear his voice and took the initiative to bring up a topic.

To his surprise, that calmness in Qin Sijue stirred a ripple.

“Not busy.”

“Oh.”

“Has your father left?”

“Hmm, I let him go.”

“No regrets?”

Listening to his words, Gu Qiangwei felt a heaviness in her chest.

“I despise him. Sometimes, I think I really want to kill him with my own hands. But…” She lowered her head, her heart somewhat heavy, “my mother is no longer here, and he is the only family I have left in this world. Every time I think of that, I sort of pity him.”

“What about after you let him go?”

“Never to associate with each other again!”

Perhaps she could not bring herself to personally end him, but with that kind of home and such a father, she really had no need to return.

“That’s good. I’ll take care of you.”

“…” Gu Qiangwei was taken aback.
