“What’s wrong with you? Did something bad happen at work?”

Gu Qiangwei looked at him. She planned to coax him until he was in a good mood before asking for her phone.

Qin Sijue suddenly turned his head around and tilted his body towards her. Gu Qiangwei was caught off guard, and she immediately became flustered.

“You, what are you doing?” She looked at him cautiously.

Qin Sijue inched closer, and his dark-as-night eyes stared directly into hers. “What’s your relationship with Li Yuan?”

Gu Qiangwei was confused.

Li Yuan?

What relationship could she have with Li Yuan? She had only met Li Yuan slightly after she met him.

“There’s n-nothing between us!”

The man’s scent engulfed her nose, making her nervous for some weird reason. Her breathing quickened, and her heart beat rapidly in her chest.

“If there’s nothing between you two, why did the two of you come here together?”

Even though Gu Qiangwei thought that this man was being a bit unreasonable, she still explained herself clearly.

“I don’t have a car, nor do I have money, and my luggage is here with you too. He sent me here out of good-will.”

After speaking, Gu Qiangwei did not even know why she had to explain all that to Qin Sijue.

Qin Sijue stopped inching closer to her and seemed satisfied with this answer.

He sat upright and did not speak anymore.

“Um… Can you give me my phone back?”

Even after he backed down, Gu Qiangwei’s heart still had not calmed down.

“Why are you so anxious to leave?”

He turned his head, his expression still dark.

Gu Qiangwei lamented in her heart. This isn’t my home. Why won’t I leave?

“I need to look for a house this afternoon.”

She only had one afternoon. If she could not find a house, would she have to sleep on the streets? Of course, she could stay in a hotel, but her money was limited—it would be too wasteful to live in a hotel. Furthermore, she still had work to do tonight, so she needed to find her house quickly.

Qin Sijue frowned slightly.

“Aren’t you a member of the Gu Family?”

She lifted her eyes and met his eyes. Her expression suddenly dimmed.

“Yes, but I left home.”

“Why did you leave home?”

He was not sure why he kept asking her even though he was rarely talkative.

Gu Qiangwei lifted her eyes and glanced at Qin Sijue confusedly.

Then, she lowered her face with a dark expression. “There’s no more family love back there. There’s no need to return.”

“You don’t want to return?”

She shook her head.

“Then live here!”

She immediately lifted her head, and her eyes widened. “What?”

“Don’t you have nowhere else to stay?”

“I… can look for a house!” She was stunned. She had thought that she was not close to him. How could she stay here?

“Then leave!”

Her rejection made his emotions, which had just calmed down, become tumultuous again.

Gu Qiangwei could evidently sense his darkened expression; he was indeed a very moody person.

However, she needed to get her phone back before leaving.

“Then, my phone…”

Qin Sijue took out the phone from the side of the sofa and placed it on the table.

After he saw the message earlier, he had casually placed it on the sofa.

Gu Qiangwei picked it up immediately and checked the notifications in anticipation. Ever since she left the Gu Mansion, Gu Zhendong did not even call or send her a message.

Indeed, her desire for family love had become an extravagant hope.

Holding her phone, dragging her luggage, and carrying her disappointed emotions along with her, Gu Qiangwei turned around and left.

When she reached the entrance and looked up at the bright blue sky, her footsteps suddenly stopped.

How was she going to leave?

Gu Qiangwei turned around again and looked at the man sitting in the living room. She remained silent for a while before walking back.

She asked, “Um, can you ask someone to send me away? I’ll pay for the car fees!”
