But in the end, the luggage in her hands was taken by the butler.

When she went back to the living room, a sumptuous lunch was already ready.

“Miss Gu, this way please.”

The butler, Uncle Qin, brought her to the dining room.

Once she entered the dining room, she saw Qin Sijue, whose noble figure resembled that of a king, sitting in the main seat; he seemed to be waiting for Gu Qiangwei.

Gu Qiangwei sat down. The rice and tableware were already prepared.

When Gu Qiangwei saw the whole table of food, her stomach growled deeply. Unable to control her stomach from making such a sound, she felt disappointed.

She looked up, and her eyes coincidentally met with Qin Sijue’s, which were dark like the depths of the sea. Her heart pounded, and she subconsciously avoided them again.

Qin Sijue’s dark gaze left her face. He only cared for himself as he picked up his chopsticks and started to eat.

As Gu Qiangwei looked at his slow movements, she also picked up her chopsticks. She was really hungry!

The old butler stood at the side. It was the first time that he saw such a harmonious image.

Although Qin Sijue was born into a family of nobles, it was very rare for him to eat together with others.

“Uh!”

In the process of eating, Gu Qiangwei suddenly made a noise.

Qin Sijue lifted his face, and his gaze fell on her clean and fair face. “What happened?”

Gu Qiangwei swallowed the food in her mouth. She raised her eyes and met his deep gaze. “This chicken is really delicious!”

When she finished talking, she held out the chopsticks subconsciously, picked up a chicken wing, and placed it into Qin Sijue’s bowl.

“Don’t—”

When the old butler at the side saw her actions, he suddenly opened his eyes wide. It seemed like he wanted to stop her, but it was already too late.

Everyone knew that the Master had a habit: he was disgusted with things that were used before by others!

The butler’s action made Gu Qiangwei feel somewhat puzzled. She turned her head and looked at him in surprise.

“…What is it?”

She turned her head again only to see Qin Sijue staring straight at the chicken wing in his bowl with a somewhat cold expression.

A weird sort of pressure permeated their surroundings.

What is the matter? Did I do something wrong?

“Master, I’ll help you get another bowl.”

After the old butler spoke, he went forward and wanted to take the bowl of white rice from his hand, planning to replace it with a clean one.

“There’s no need to do so.”

His hands had not touched the bowl yet when Qin Sijue suddenly opened his mouth. Following that, the old butler saw him picking the chicken wing up with his chopsticks and eating it.

This action came as a great surprise to Uncle Qin!

That chicken wing was picked up with Miss Gu’s chopsticks, yet Master actually ate the chicken wing that was stained with Miss Gu’s saliva?

Yes, Qin Sijue had a strange habit. All the members of the Qin family, including Madam Qin, knew about this. Hence, ever since he was young, no one had served food to him with their own utensils. Firstly, they knew that he would never eat it; secondly, they did not want to provoke him.

Gu Qiangwei naturally did not know about this. When she saw him eating the chicken wing, she could not control herself and even asked, “Is it good?”

“Yeah.”

He replied softly, lowered his head, and ate a mouthful again.

After lunch, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon.

While Gu Qiangwei sat in the car, she did not know where she should go. City Jing was so big, but it seemed like there was no place for her to stay. Of course, the main issue was that she did not have money.

“Send me to the entrance of the hospital.”

She had to go to the hospital first and fetch Meng Qi.

Qin Sijue did not open his mouth. Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the hospital.

“Thank you.”

She thanked him politely. After that, she got out of the car and planned to take her things and walk into the hospital.

However, just when she got out of the car, she had not turned around yet when she felt something pouncing on her.

She turned her head and saw Meng Qi’s body, which was covered in golden, soft, and thick fur.

“Meng Qi!”

Meng Qi knew that she would come and had been waiting at the entrance of the hospital!
