Contract Marriage: Love Has Finally Arrived

Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Guilt at the Bottom of the Heart

“It was the Young Master’s parents.”

When mentioning Qin Sijue’s parents, that tragic accident filled everyone with immense regret.

Listening to Uncle Qin’s words, Gu Qiangwei felt as if her heart was struck by something, heavy and sinking.

Qin Sijue’s parents… had passed away?

In her mind, she suddenly flashed back to their hospital conversation when she had blurted out unintentionally: You have not experienced the death of your parents, how could you understand…

She rubbed her forehead in annoyance, imagining how Qin Sijue must have felt at that moment; no wonder his expression had suddenly changed.

So his parents had died early…

After dinner, Gu Qiangwei sat on the sofa, lying down because of the pain in her body to make herself more comfortable.

Her gaze stayed fixed on her cellphone, glancing occasionally out the window, where it was already dark.

And Qin Sijue had not yet returned.

Should she give him a call?

Because of that remark at the hospital, she felt she definitely had hurt him, and this knot remained in her chest, leaving a bad taste in her mouth.

…

Meanwhile, at the Commander Residence.

The moon was bright and the stars sparse, the night waning.

The luxurious compound was illuminated by the bright moonlight, highlighting its elegance and splendor to the fullest.@@novelbin@@

From inside the Commander Residence, laughter and cheerful voices could be heard now and then.

It was the memorial day of Qin Chengyan and An Zhiya, and three generations of the Nangong Family also came to pay their respects today.

In the evening, Qin Guozhong and Madam Qin decided to keep them for dinner at the Commander Residence.

They also planned to pick a date for the engagement of the two, as it was rare for Feifei’s parents to be back in the country.

“We’re all family here, no need to be polite!”

Although Madam Qin was already eighty, she was still very spirited, not looking like an eighty-year-old lady at all!

Seeing the lavish dinner spread, the members of the Nangong Family nodded their heads in gratitude towards her.

Feifei, sitting nearby, never took her eyes off Qin Sijue.

Even though his face was expressionless at the moment, he still exuded an undeniable air of nobility that one could easily be entrapped by if not careful.

“Our whole family has come, and it really is a bit of an imposition,” Nangong He said with a smile, turning to glance at his family members.

They had planned to leave after paying respects to Qin Sijue’s parents, but the Qin Family urged them to stay for dinner.

“I’ve already said we’re family, no need for formalities. Come, have some food—”

Before he had finished speaking, Qin Sijue had already started serving himself, eating his meal and completely ignoring everyone else.

Qin Guozhong’s face immediately darkened.

“Sijue!”

Qin Sijue slowly lifted his eyes, glancing at him.

“Didn’t you see we have guests?”

“Didn’t you already start talking?”

“You!” Qin Guozhong was left speechless.

“Since we’re all family, there’s no need to mind these small details. Come on, let’s eat,” Madam Qin said with a smile, her favorite grandson being Qin Sijue, naturally siding with him.

Following Madam Qin’s invitation, the Nangong Family members began to eat.

Midway through the dinner, Qin Sijue suddenly put down his utensils.

“I’m full,” he said, and then turned to leave.

From the head of the table, Qin Guozhong’s commanding voice rang out, “Stop.”

Perhaps out of respect for the guests, Qin Sijue didn’t ignore him this time and paused to look at Qin Guozhong.

“Don’t go yet, I have something to discuss with you after this.”

Qin Sijue listened but remained silent, and after leaving the dining room, he sat down on the couch, picking up a magazine and casually flipping through it.
