Chapter 38: You Want To Let Me Guard An Empty Room Alone?

Although those four words were simple, it was sufficient for Gu Qiangwei to sense the threat from Qin Sijue’s voice.

“Working.”

What else can I be doing?

Her response was simple, but Qin Sijue could not help but recall that message that he saw earlier.

“How much longer do you need?”

Gu Qiangwei was stunned for a while. She replied after some time. “I may not be going back tonight.”

After she spoke, the other end of the call was silent again. Although they were over the phone, Gu Qiangwei felt like she sensed something for an instant.

Is this man angry?

But it also doesn’t seem to be that serious?

After all, they were only pretending to be husband and wife; even if she did not go back the whole night, it should have nothing to do with him, right?

She was not finished with her thoughts when that low and sexy voice came through the phone again. “It’s the first day we received our marriage certificate, yet you’re not coming back the entire night. Do you want me to guard the empty room alone?”

Gu Qiangwei nearly choked to death on her own saliva!

Guarding the empty room alone? Our marriage is fake, alright!

“I have already said that I am working!”

“What kind of work is it that you have to work the whole night?”

“A very important customer came to our company. I have to be his translator for the whole day. Hence, I cannot go back at night.”

“CEO Huang?”

Gu Qiangwei was stunned. “How do you know?”

“I’ll come pick you up.”

“…” Gu Qiangwei was dumbstruck.

Gu Qiangwei had not reacted yet when she heard that he had already hung up the phone.

What did he mean?

Did he say that he was coming to pick me up?

Still puzzled, Gu Qiangwei went back to the private room.

Once she entered, her expression froze. The room that was filled with men and women just now was actually empty at this moment.

She immediately met CEO Huang’s gaze. “I am back.”

Gu Qiangwei looked at the surroundings and headed towards the sofa.

“Where are they?”

“It is very late. They have headed back.”

“Oh!”

Gu Qiangwei did not sit down. She looked at the time, and it was indeed very late.

“CEO Huang, since it is very late, aren’t you going up to rest?”

CEO Huang smiled, and something unknown flashed in his eyes. “No hurry. We have not finished our liquor yet, right?”

Oh gosh!

She originally thought that she could avoid drinking this glass of liquor after receiving the phone call, but she did not expect that CEO Huang would not let her go!

She smiled. “CEO Huang, it’s already very late. I don’t have to drink this liquor right?”

“How can that be? I have already made a toast to you and drank it first.” While CEO Huang was talking, he raised his glass and brought it straight in front of her.

She looked at the liquor hesitantly.

Everyone is gone. Why do I have to finish this glass of liquor?

“Let’s make it this way: after you finish this glass, you can go back.”

After she heard his words, Gu Qiangwei’s eyes could not help but light up.

“Really?”

“Of course, I honor my words!”

She would not get drunk immediately after downing one glass of liquor, so If she could go back, of course, it could not be better!

Gu Qiangwei drew a big breath. “Then I’ll drink it all!”

After finishing her sentence, she held the glass of whiskey and drank it all at once!

“Miss Gu has good drinking capacity!”

After seeing her finishing the glass of liquor, CEO Huang smiled satisfactorily. The corners of his eyes revealed a tinge of slyness.

Gu Qiangwei, after finishing the glass of liquor, stood up and could not wait to leave this land of alcohol.

“CEO Huang, since I have already finished the liquor, I’ll go back first!”

As Gu Qiangwei talked, she wanted to turn around, but immediately after, she felt something dragging her backward. Staggering, her whole body moved backward–

“Uh!”

“Miss Gu, I heard that you like to play cat and mouse. I didn’t expect it to be true.”

The instant Gu Qiangwei fell, she heard CEO Huang’s voice ringing beside her ear.
