Chapter 815: Chapter 816: Seeing That Figure Again
After breakfast, Tang Yuyan took Nangong Xi to school, while Nangong Mingchuan went to the company.
Sitting on the couch and chatting with Nangong He for a while, Gu Qiangwei planned to take her books to the pavilion from yesterday for a short rest.
However, upon reaching the pavilion, she realized that the morning sunlight filled the entire space, which was not like yesterday at all. There was not a single shady spot in the pavilion. She looked around and found a large tree nearby where she could enjoy the shade.
So she took her books and walked over there.
Yet, just as she was about to approach, she stopped again because she saw the graveyard not far away.
Although it was a distance away, Gu Qiangwei knew very well that Nangong Feifei’s remains were buried there.
Thinking of Nangong Feifei, her expression inevitably darkened, and she turned around and went back inside.
Her room was on the third floor, which had a balcony.
Perhaps due to the height, as soon as she walked to the balcony, she felt a breeze brush over her face, cool and comfortable.
The balcony was on the north side, with the villa blocking out the sun. Holding her book, she sat down on a wooden chair, leisurely flipping through the pages.
Maybe it was the cooling brought by the breeze, but while reading, Gu Qiangwei unknowingly leaned back in the chair and fell asleep, even having a beautiful dream.
In the dream, she saw a family of four, frolicking in an endless green grassland…
Suddenly, a ringtone from a cell phone disrupted her lovely dream.
With bleary eyes, she frowned, somewhat muddled as she awoke, looking for her phone.
Eventually, she found it beside the chair, having slipped out of the pocket of her clothes.
“Hello?”
“Are you still at Nangong Villa?”
“Mhmm.” Hearing the familiar and deep voice from inside, Gu Qiangwei couldn’t help but curve her lips slightly, filled with happiness.
“I’ll pick you up in half an hour.”
Gu Qiangwei was taken aback and sat up straight from the chair, “You’re back already?”
“Mhmm, I just got off the plane.”
She paused, looked at the time, and realized it was only ten in the morning.
“So early? Didn’t you say in the afternoon?”
“I missed you, so I rushed back early in the morning.”
A simple sentence, yet it warmed Gu Qiangwei’s heart.
She smiled, “I missed you too.”
On the other end of the phone, Qin Sijue also slightly curled his lips, “How have you been these past days?”
Gu Qiangwei raised her eyes and, because she had just woken up, couldn’t help but stretch lazily, “Not bad, except at night—”
She was about to say something when she suddenly stopped as she looked straight ahead.
Seeing her hesitate, Qin Sijue also couldn’t help but frown slightly, “What’s the matter?”
From the third-floor balcony, she had a clear view over the entire garden.
And in the moment Gu Qiangwei looked up, she saw again the figure standing outside the courtyard wall.
Unlike yesterday, the figure had been standing under the rose bushes last evening, but today he was standing on the road outside the courtyard wall. She was certain that the person was looking up at her on the third floor.
But the moment she noticed him, he quickly lowered the cap he was wearing on his head and then acted nonchalantly as he walked past the villa’s gate on the road.
Despite the hot weather, he was wrapped up so tightly, clearly behaving like a thief.
“Gu Qiangwei!?”
When there was suddenly no sound from the phone, Qin Sijue’s heart tightened abruptly, fearing something had happened to her, his voice clearly anxious!
