Contract Marriage: Love Has Finally Arrived

Chapter 294: Chapter 295 A Woman’s Inferiority

For a while, neither person on the phone spoke.

After some time, Huo Yishan suddenly said, “Dear, why don’t… you two meet up!”

Gu Qiangwei looked up, somewhat surprised by her sudden suggestion.

“What are you talking about?”

“The more I think about it, the more I feel that his grandfather is too much. It’s just a child. At worst, you can adopt one. Why should they use this reason to break you two apart!”

Huo Yishan, always straightforward, was standing from Gu Qiangwei’s perspective, but her worries went far beyond that.

Qin Sijue was an only child, and the Qin family’s status was prominent.

Qin Guozhong’s actions might have been excessive, but she could also understand them. After all, every elder hopes their descendants have a complete family, especially concerning bloodlines.

Children could be adopted, but they would not carry the Qin family bloodline.

“What about you?” It took a while before Gu Qiangwei finally spoke.

Huo Yishan was taken aback. “Me what?”

“If you were me, what would you do?”

Huo Yishan was stunned, lost in thought.

If it were her, perhaps… she might also agree to this condition.

It wasn’t about submitting to authority, but rather a woman’s insecurity, nothing worse than not being able to become a mother.

Perhaps from the standpoint of an outsider, she felt Qin Sijue’s grandfather was too much. However, if she put herself in that position, all his actions were indeed for the sake of his grandson.

After a while, Huo Yishan finally spoke, “I just think it’s such a pity that you and Qin Sijue would end like this.”

“He lost his parents at six, and if I were with him, never being able to give him a child, wouldn’t that be even more of a pity?” And it would also make her so insecure that she could never forgive herself, always feeling indebted to him.

Huo Yishan fell silent again; she knew all too well that it was because of these considerations that Qiangwei had agreed to Qin Guozhong’s condition.

After a moment, she spoke again, “Okay… I understand. So… how do you plan to leave here?”

Gu Qiangwei thought for a moment, “Do you know Miss Feng?”

“The young lady of the Qin family?”

“Yes.”

“I know of her, but we’re not close.”

“You find her first, just say you are—”

Before she could finish her sentence, a sudden surge in her chest made her wince with discomfort.

“Qiangwei?”

Seeing that she had stopped talking mid-sentence, Huo Yishan couldn’t help but call out to her.

Gu Qiangwei wanted to respond, but the feeling of nausea grew stronger!

“Ugh—”

Her brows furrowed tightly, she felt a breath rushing up urgently.

Looking up to find a restroom, her gaze searched and landed on a glass door.

She quickly covered her mouth and rushed over.

When there was no response for too long, Huo Yishan on the telefon grew anxious, “Qiangwei, what’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you speaking?”

Kneeling at the edge of the toilet, Gu Qiangwei clutched the phone in her hand, then retched—

“Qiangwei!? Qiangwei!?”

When she still didn’t reply, Huo Yishan grew completely frantic, quickly hanging up in the vast banquet hall to look for Feng Jinglei.

And Gu Qiangwei, kneeling at the edge of the toilet, felt like vomiting but could bring nothing up. Few minutes later, the nauseous feeling finally eased.

Upon standing up, her face was a bit pale.

Lately, she had been feeling unusual, constantly nauseous.

A few days ago, she thought it was the dumplings that were off, but recently she hadn’t eaten any dumplings. Why was she still feeling bouts of nausea from time to time?
