Contract Marriage: Love Has Finally Arrived

Chapter 300: Chapter 301: As if the Soul Was Lost

During these days, he had seen with his own eyes how unusual Sijue had become, and all his unusual behavior was because of Qiangwei.

At this thought, Li Yuan suddenly shed bitter tears.

“Qiangwei, you don’t even know, that night on the cruise everyone thought you were dead, and Sijue searched for you for three whole days and nights. When he found out you were dead, he was like a soul lost! Also, also, it has been nearly impossible for me to even see him this past half-month. People from his company say that lately, aside from going out for social engagements, he spends all his time in the office. Moreover,”

Li Yuan rambled on, suddenly paused, looked around—he was clearly just inside the car—and yet seemed fearful he might be overheard by Qin Sijue, warily eyeing Gu Qiangwei, whispering, “I’ve also heard that recently many people in Dijue Group have suffered because of Sijue’s unhappiness, leading to them packing up and leaving!”

Gu Qiangwei listened to his nonstop chatter, and when she heard about Qin Sijue’s strangeness these past half-month, her heart suddenly ached, deeply touched.

But, what does this have to do with the employees of Dijue Group packing up and leaving?

She was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but ask, “Why… did they all leave?”

Li Yuan had been speaking passionately, but when he heard her response, his fervor immediately deflated, and he couldn’t help rolling his eyes at Gu Qiangwei!

“Miss Gu, do I even need to say it? Of course, it’s because he thought you were dead, so he was in an extremely bad mood, prone to lose his temper, and then everyone in the group ended up suffering for it!”

Listening to Li Yuan’s explanation, Gu Qiangwei suddenly realized, her eyes downcast as she fell into deep thought.

Has Qin Sijue been in a bad mood all this half-month?

“Qiangwei.”

At this point, Huo Yishan, who had been sitting beside them, finally couldn’t resist speaking up.

Gu Qiangwei lifted her eyes and met her clear ones, her brow slightly furrowed as she stared at her.

“I think, you leaving Qin Sijue like this, silently disappearing from his world, seems somewhat unfair to him.”

Huo Yishan, after listening to Li Yuan’s words, couldn’t help feeling some sympathy for Qin Sijue.

Gu Qiangwei’s heart was also stirred by her words.

But after a long pause, she was still unable to change that cruel decision.

“So, are you saying that you hope I would cast aside all impossibilities and return to his side?”

Even if possible, she couldn’t bring herself to return to his side.

If she were to appear before him unexpectedly after leaving without a trace, not only would his grandfather disapprove, even Qin Sijue himself would probably find it utterly bewildering, right?

Huo Yishan fell silent.

She understood her concerns, but still felt sympathetic towards Qin Sijue at the same time.

Li Yuan, on the other hand, listened in confusion, glancing at Huo Yishan and then at Gu Qiangwei, not understanding what they were really talking about.

“What are you talking about? Why can’t she return to Sijue’s side?”

His gaze shifted to Gu Qiangwei. Being friends with Qin Si for over a decade, he had never seen him swayed by a woman’s influence over his emotions, Qiangwei was the first!

“Qiangwei, you have no idea how much Qin Sijue has missed you these days. If he knew you were alright, he would surely be so happy that he’d lift you up and spin you around on the spot three times!”

He was almost too eager to take her to Sijue right away. Who knows, in his happiness, he might even earn the title of a great hero!

Gu Qiangwei raised her eyes to look at an excited Li Yuan, yet her expression was tinged with sorrow.
