Contract Marriage: Love Has Finally Arrived

Chapter 295: Chapter 296 Gu Qiangwei is Clearly Already Dead

She no longer dwelled on this matter, her current focus was to leave this place as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, in the living room downstairs.

The magazine was quite boring. After skimming through it for a while, Qin Sijue casually tossed it onto the coffee table before glancing at his wristwatch.

A series of crisp footsteps came from the entrance. He furrowed his brows, indifferently turning to look.

At the doorway, Nangong Feifei entered, wearing a stunning purple evening gown and walking with elegant steps.

Upon seeing Qin Sijue, her eyes lit up, and she walked toward him with a smile!

“Sijue, you really are here!”

Lately, Nangong Feifei had been in an exceptionally good mood upon hearing that Gu Qiangwei had fallen overboard on the cruise ship and that after three days and three nights, they’d found no sign of her.

In such deep waters, the answer was obvious without finding a person.

Glancing at Nangong Feifei, Qin Sijue’s expression turned ice-cold in an instant, devoid of any warmth.

She was long accustomed to his cold demeanor.

“Sijue, today is Grandma Qin’s birthday banquet. Why are you staying here all the time?”

Qin Sijue glanced over with an aloof look and retorted, “What’s it to you?”

Nangong Feifei paused. Although she was aware that he wasn’t too fond of her, they were both from prestigious families, and it was somewhat embarrassing for her to be addressed with vulgar language.

“I… I’m just concerned about you.”

“Not needed.”

He gave her a cold glance as if he didn’t want to bother with her, and Qin Sijue picked up the magazine he had set aside earlier, flipping through it nonchalantly.

As time quietly flowed like mountain stream water, she tried to find topics to talk about in the silence that he didn’t break.

“Sijue, it’s too quiet here. Shall we go to the birthday hall together?”

She wanted to be seen with him as a couple. If they could enter the banquet hall together, without her saying a word, the guests would naturally understand their relationship.

Qin Sijue: Continues reading the magazine.

Nangong Feifei felt a wave of embarrassment.

But no matter, she still had other topics.

“Sijue, I heard Grandpa Qin plans to announce our engagement at Grandma’s birthday banquet.”

This time, Qin Sijue finally reacted, his brows lightly furrowed, and even the hand flipping the magazine paused.

Seeing his reaction, Nangong Feifei continued to speak.

Little did she know, at the railing of the second floor, stood Gu Qiangwei.

When she heard the word “engagement,” Gu Qiangwei’s face turned even paler than before. A sudden tightness gripped her chest, so tight it made her feel suffocated and breathless.

They were going to get engaged?

“The wedding date is set for next month.”

Qin Sijue remained silent, his deep-set eyes fixed ahead.

“Grandpa Qin said that our engagement party will be the most grandiose in all of Jingcheng,” Nangong Feifei mused with eager anticipation for the day.

She had fantasized about this wedding for twenty years, and it was finally about to happen.

“Grandpa Qin also said—”

“Get out.”

Nangong Feifei wanted to continue, but Qin Sijue cut her off with three ice-cold words.

Her face fell, and she stood rooted to the spot.

Seeing her lack of reaction, Qin Sijue slightly lifted his eyelids and turned toward her, “Can’t you hear?”

Nangong Feifei bit her lower lip, unable to resign herself to this.

Gu Qiangwei was already dead, so why did he still dislike her so much?

Wasn’t she better than her in every way?

The more she thought about it, the more dissatisfied Nangong Feifei became.

“That Gu Qiangwei, she’s already dead…”

That statement touched the deepest part of his heart. Qin Sijue’s piercing eyes suddenly flashed with a bone-chilling coldness, sweeping over Nangong Feifei!
