Looking at the limited-edition Rolls Royce, Gu Qiangwei could hardly imagine how rich Qin Sijue was.

“Was that Old Madam Qin’s car earlier?”

When Li Yuan walked into the living room, he saw Qin Sijue sitting on the sofa. Looking at how Qin Sijue was having a headache, Li Yuan knew why the Old Madam was there.

Qin Sijue turned his head and saw the two people walking in from the door. His dark gaze lingered on Gu Qiangwei’s face for two seconds before he withdrew it immediately.

“My luggage!”

When Gu Qiangwei entered the house, she noticed the white luggage placed in the living room.

Qin Sijue lifted his eyes and glanced at her before looking back at Li Yuan.

Why did the two of them come together?

When she met his dark eyes, Gu Qiangwei paused lightly. Her hand, which had just reached out towards her luggage, withdrew unknowingly.

“Um, this is mine…”

Qin Sijue looked at her and did not say anything.

“You’re here to get your luggage?” asked Li Yuan, who could not help but speak up upon noticing the situation.

Gu Qiangwei nodded at him and revealed a tiny smile. “Yes.”

However, this smile made Qin Sijue, who was already in a bad mood, feel even gloomier!

Gu Qiangwei could tell that this man was in a bad mood; it was better for her to leave first in order to not provoke this revered ‘Buddha’!

She turned her head around and looked at Li Yuan. “Can you drive me away?”

After coming here once, she understood clearly that it was impossible to hail a cab here. She could only leave if he drove her away.

Fortunately, Li Yuan seemed happy to help her!

“Sure, no problem!”

Gu Qiangwei smiled. She dragged her luggage along and was about to leave.

“You don’t want your phone?”

She had just turned around when Qin Sijue’s voice sounded from behind.

Gu Qiangwei paused for three seconds before reaching her hand into her bag and rummaging through it. Indeed, her phone was not there.

She turned around, and her gaze fell upon that dignified man’s body.

“Where’s my phone?”

“I don’t know.”

“…” Gu Qiangwei was speechless.

How can he not know!

However, just when Gu Qianwei was about to say something, she realized that she did not know how to rebuke him.

Qin Sijue’s sharp eyes immediately swept towards Li Yuan.

Li Yuan met his gaze and seemed to understand something instantaneously. He suddenly said, “Um, I still have something to do. I’ll leave first.”

After speaking, he turned around and left.

Gu Qiangwei still wanted to say something, but Li Yuan’s shadow had already disappeared at the entrance.

With him going away, how can I leave this place?

In the silent living room, there were only Qin Sijue and Gu Qiangwei left.

Why does this man seem to be in a bad mood?

Should I console him first before asking for my phone?

“Um, are you in a bad mood?”

It was the first time in twenty-six years that someone asked Qin Sijue if he was in a bad mood. Usually, when he had a dark expression, no one dared to ask him about it; even his family had never asked if his mood was bad so casually.

A subtle emotion surfaced from the bottom of his heart, rousing his beating heart.

He lifted his gaze, and his dark eyes landed on Gu Qiangwei’s face.

“Sit down.”

Upon hearing these two sudden words, Gu Qiangwei paused for two seconds before moving her feet and sitting down at a place near him.

“Why are you sitting so far away?”

“…” Gu Qiangwei was confused.

What does he mean by ‘sitting so far away’? Isn’t this the normal way to sit?

After all, they had just met each other, right? Who would sit so close together for no reason?

But since he had already spoken, Gu Qiangwei compromised and inched closer to him, all so that she could get her phone back.
