Chapter 814: Chapter 815: Figure Outside the Courtyard Wall
Turning her gaze, she noticed a few magazines lying on the round table beside her. Bored, she casually picked one up and began flipping through, while waiting for dinner.
The sun gradually set, casting the entire garden into shadows.
After reading magazines for half an hour, Gu Qiangwei felt a soreness in her neck and raised her head, massaging her neck to try to alleviate the discomfort.
However, in the moment she looked up, she wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she suddenly saw a figure standing by the iron fence covered in red roses not far away.
Although the distance made it difficult to make out the person’s appearance, Gu Qiangwei was certain that the figure standing behind the red roses was staring at her through the gaps in the fence.
It seemed as if noticing her gaze, the figure swiftly disappeared outside the courtyard wall the moment Gu Qiangwei looked up.
Gu Qiangwei was taken aback, initially thinking it was a trick of her eyes, but she confirmed it was not an illusion when the figure vanished in a flash.
But who could it be? Why were they standing there, staring at her?
Intent on finding out, Gu Qiangwei was about to step toward the red roses.
“Weiwei.”
Just as she took a step, she heard Tang Yuyan’s voice from behind.
Gu Qiangwei turned around and saw her mother standing there, so she could only walk over to her.
“It’s time for dinner,” said Tang Yuyan with a smile.
Gu Qiangwei responded with a smile, “Okay.”
Then, she entered the house with her mother.
“Mom.”
“Hmm?”
“Are there cameras installed around the villa?”
The sudden question made Tang Yuyan pause, “Well, we installed them, but only at every entrance, not in other areas. Why do you ask?”
Gu Qiangwei was still pondering the figure she had just seen.
Because it was far away and outside the courtyard wall, she couldn’t tell whether it was a man or a woman.
“Just now, I saw someone lurking outside the yard. Has this happened before?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuyan couldn’t help but gasp, “Lurking?”
“Yes.”
This place was different from Jueyuan, located in a high-end residential area in the city, so this area wasn’t limited to Nangong Villa alone; there were other residences as well.
“It’s probably just some thieves,” Tang Yuyan murmured thoughtfully before dismissing the idea.
Gu Qiangwei raised an eyebrow, looking at her mother, “Thieves?”
“Yes, since almost everyone living here is wealthy, there are often thieves around. But don’t worry, the security system at home is very strong.”
Although the cameras didn’t cover every part of the villa, the security system was indeed robust. If anyone tried to sneak in other than through the main door, the system would automatically trigger an alarm.
“Has this happened before?”
Hearing that it might just be thieves, Gu Qiangwei seemed to lose interest in the figure.
“Yes, last time thieves tried to sneak in, your father handed them over to the police station,” said Tang Yuyan with a laugh, “Are you hungry? Come, let’s eat.”
Being experienced, Tang Yuyan knew that pregnant women usually get hungry easily.
And Gu Qiangwei was indeed hungry, quickly becoming engrossed in dinner and completely forgetting about the figure!
.
After dinner, Gu Qiangwei took a bath and went to bed early.
The more time passed, the more easily she felt like sleeping.
But she still found it somewhat difficult to fall asleep in the middle of the night due to shortness of breath.
Since Qin Sijue was only returning in the afternoon, after waking up early, Gu Qiangwei didn’t return to Jueyuan. Instead, she stayed at Nangong Villa, waiting for Qin Sijue to pick her up.
