Contract Marriage: Love Has Finally Arrived

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Old Madam, How Did You Get Here?

When she came out again, the large bedroom was left with only a small lamp lit.

After glancing at the bulging spot on the bed, Qin Sijue walked over to the sofa and lied down.

Yet, that night seemed even harder to fall asleep than the previous one.

Even Gu Qiangwei on the bed was kept awake by his tossing and turning, completely devoid of sleepiness.

With her thoughts in disarray, thinking of the man lying on the sofa, she couldn’t help but slowly turn her body and peak out her head, staring at him.

And in the sofa, Qin Sijue felt an inexplicable irritability all night long!

Under the warm yellow light, Gu Qiangwei stared with clear, bright eyes at the restless man on the sofa.

Was the sofa too small, making it uncomfortable to sleep?

Should she let him come back to bed?

Suddenly, the scene of them sleeping together that night popped into her head, and she felt an inexplicable shyness and her heartbeat quickened at the thought of that kiss!

Thinking of this, she, who was about to speak, ultimately just silently snuggled back into the bedding and slept alone.

The next day.

Waking up early, Gu Qiangwei faced the day with panda eyes, barely hidden by a touch of makeup.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she awkwardly twitched the corners of her mouth.

She had actually experienced insomnia last night…

After washing up and going down the stairs, the pain around her ankle had almost completely subsided after a night’s rest.

By then, it was already seven fifty in the morning.

“Young Madam, you’re awake.”

Butler Qin approached, greeting her respectfully, “Breakfast is ready.”

After glancing at Butler Qin, Gu Qiangwei walked to the dining room as usual.

However, upon entering, she did not see Qin Sijue’s figure.

She slightly furrowed her brows, seemingly surprised.

Noticing her thoughts, Butler Qin opened his mouth with a smile, “The Young Master had breakfast early and has gone to the company.”

“Oh,” Gu Qiangwei said to Butler Qin, then she pulled out a dining chair and sat down.

After breakfast, feeling somewhat idle, she considered the little money left in her card; she would need to find a job soon or else she’d be left without a penny.

Although she had food and shelter here, she knew she would leave one day, so she had to prepare for her departure.

Sitting in the sofa, she took out her phone and noted down a few companies she planned to apply to for an interview later.

Butler Qin, just having finished watering the flowers in the backyard, planned to head to the front yard.

Just as he stepped out the front door, he saw a stretch Lincoln slowly approaching.

Recognizing the familiar license plate, Butler Qin’s face changed dramatically as he quickly put down the watering can and respectfully walked towards the black sedan.

The car door slowly opened, and an over eighty-year-old lady stepped out, looking fresh and energetic, hardly resembling an elderly lady in her eighties.

It was only the white hair at her temples that gave away her actual age.

“Old… Lady Qin?”

Seeing the lady stepping down from the car, Butler Qin was quite shocked.

The old lady, however, was all smiles and glanced in the direction of the ornately carved door.

“Lady Qin, why have you come?”

The old lady smiled and, lowering her voice, said, “I’ve come to see my granddaughter-in-law.”

Butler Qin was taken aback.

Granddaughter-in-law?

He didn’t know whether she meant the Young Madam or Miss Nangong.

Lady Qin kept her gaze fixed toward the gate, thinking about how she’d been busy lately choosing a granddaughter-in-law, unaware that her grandson had already been dating someone, and it was the precious jewel of the Nangong Family!

The cheeky lad, no wonder he refused to attend the banquet she held last time. Turns out he already had his eyes on Nangong Feifei!
