Contract Marriage: Love Has Finally Arrived

Chapter 234: Chapter 234: Afraid of Qin Sijue?

In a daze, with a lift of her eyes, she saw Shen Mochen extending the glass of wine to her.

Gu Qiangwei was stunned for a moment before hesitantly accepting the glass.

It indeed choked her a bit.

“Eating in such a hurry, didn’t you have dinner?”

Shen Mochen’s gaze was tender, his eyes scarcely concealing his affection as he looked at her.

Gu Qiangwei took a sip of the cocktail, then swallowed the appetizer in her mouth and looked up to smile at Shen Mochen, “Hmm.”

“He doesn’t even let you eat dinner?”

The ‘he’ in his mouth clearly referred to Qin Sijue.

Gu Qiangwei smiled lightly, “Of course not.”

Having said that, she then picked up a piece of appetizer and began to eat.

Perhaps finding the taste to her liking, she simply picked up the whole plate and ate to her heart’s content!

Shen Mochen across from her watched her eat, his eyes particularly gentle.

“Recently, have things been alright for you?”

Gu Qiangwei looked up, her clear eyes meeting his. She slowed her chewing and after a while, she said, “Pretty good.”

“Qiangwei.”

“Hmm?”

“Do you really intend to entrust your life to Qin Sijue like this? Does he, love you?”

At that question, Gu Qiangwei suddenly lost her appetite.

She put the remaining piece of appetizer back on the table, her eyelids slightly drooping.

Love?

She had asked Qin Sijue the same question before.

And his response was silence.

Yet, this question was no longer important. Love or the lack of it, neither mattered anymore.

“It doesn’t matter anymore.”

She uttered those few words lightly.

Shen Mochen frowned, unable to grasp the underlying meaning.

“Why?”

She looked up, her answer crisp, “No reason.”

Shen Mochen vaguely felt that she was troubled.

But she was unwilling to confide in him.

A beautiful waltz melody began, and Shen Mochen shifted his gaze, noticing many guests had already paired up and were stepping into the center of the dance floor.

Turning his face, his affectionate gaze fell on Gu Qiangwei’s face, and in her moment of daze, his hand was already extended to her, “May I have this dance?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Qiangwei withdrew her gaze, only to see his robust palm reaching towards her.

Although she should have refused, for some reason, after a slight hesitation, she suddenly lifted her hand and placed it into his palm.

A sweet smile appeared on her lips, “Sure.”

When he touched her smooth and fair palm, Shen Mochen was surprised by her lack of refusal, but even more so, he was delighted.

The two of them stepped into the dance floor together.

On the other side of the venue, Qin Sijue was also getting a bit annoyed being surrounded by people.

Noticing the slight displeasure appearing on his face, the group of businessmen gradually dispersed.

Here, Qin Sijue couldn’t muster any interest in anyone, and as the crowd dispersed, his gaze naturally sought out Gu Qiangwei’s figure.

Yet, upon lifting his eyes, he saw that familiar figure in the center of the dance floor.

Seeing her waltzing with Shen Mochen darkened his eyes, carrying a hint of danger, slightly squinting.

In the dance floor, staring at the person opposite him, Shen Mochen always felt she was distracted, her face consistently downcast.

Although they were dancing together, he distinctly felt her deliberate aloofness, even the hand resting on his shoulder was noticeably unnatural.

“Afraid of Qin Sijue?”

Staring at her slightly drooped curled eyelashes, Shen Mochen suddenly spoke up.

Gu Qiangwei’s body jolted, clearly feeling at that moment outside the dance floor, it seemed a set of eyes was staring at her.

She naturally didn’t dare to look.

Looking up, meeting Shen Mochen’s gaze, she forced a smile, “Maybe a little, because he, doesn’t really like me getting too close to other men.”
