Chapter 810: Chapter 811: No Matter How Beautiful I Am, I’m Already Married
Huo Yishan smiled with mischief, "Why, don’t you believe what he said?"
Gu Qiangwei rolled her eyes at her, "No, I was just wondering if I really gained weight."
"Don’t worry, my dear is still absolutely a gorgeous beauty even if she’s gained weight!"
"No matter how beautiful I am, I’m already a wife and soon to be a mother, but what about you? How have you been lately?"
"Just the usual!"
Gu Qiangwei looked at her skeptically, "And Li Yuan? Hasn’t he contacted you recently?"
"Yes, he’s been in touch."
"Has he... said anything special to you?" Gu Qiangwei asked tentatively.
The so-called ’special’ words, of course, meant whether Li Yuan had confessed his feelings to her.
Huo Yishan raised her eyebrows, "Special words?"
"Yes!"
"Well, no words as such, but there is one thing!"
Gu Qiangwei, curious, "What is it?"
"His family wants him to find a girlfriend before he turns twenty-eight, otherwise, they will make him marry a woman with the last name Ruan. To prevent this marriage, he asked me to be his girlfriend." After speaking, Huo Yishan turned her head, staring at Gu Qiangwei, "A fake girlfriend!"
Gu Qiangwei was completely stunned.
A fake girlfriend?
She stared blankly at Huo Yishan, was it really so?
Li Yuan, of all people, chose her to pretend to be his girlfriend?
Suddenly, Gu Qiangwei seemed to understand something.
Perhaps everyone expresses themselves differently, or maybe Li Yuan is still not brave enough to face these emotions, afraid that if Yishan does not accept him after a confession, they might not even be able to maintain a basic friendship.
But if during this fake girlfriend phase, the act becomes real, then it’s a win-win situation!
Thinking this, Gu Qiangwei smiled knowingly, yet she couldn’t help but feel sorry for her friend. Yishan was so smart, yet somewhat slow when it came to emotions. It seemed Li Yuan would need to put in some effort to achieve his goal.
A burst of cell phone ringing sounded, and Huo Yishan took out her phone, only to find it was Li Yuan calling.
Walking to the window, she answered the call, "Hello? What’s up?"
"Are you free?" came Li Yuan’s calm, deep voice from the other end.
"I’m at Qiangwei’s place."
Hearing this, Li Yuan hesitated, "Qiangwei and Sijue are back?"
"Yes!"
"Lucky guy, didn’t even tell me he was back in the country!"
Huo Yishan ignored his slight moodiness and asked directly, "Did you need something?"
"My mother is here, she wants to meet you."
Huo Yishan paused, "Ah?"
"Sorry to trouble you."
After hesitating for a few seconds, knowing she had agreed to be his fake girlfriend, she had to continue playing the role until his twenty-eighth birthday when he received the inheritance rights.
"Okay!"
After hanging up, Huo Yishan turned around and walked towards Gu Qiangwei, "My dear, I’ll come to see you some other day."
"Was that call from Li Yuan?" Gu Qiangwei smiled slightly, seeming to have guessed that the call had been from Li Yuan.
Huo Yishan did not hide it, "Yes!"
"Go ahead!"
"Then you get some good rest!"
"Yes!"
After speaking, Huo Yishan turned and left Jueyuan.
For lunch, Qin Sijue and Gu Qiangwei had already eaten on the plane. Knowing they must be tired from just returning to the country, Zhuang Yanyan and Qin Guozhong soon left Jueyuan with peace of mind.
In the afternoon, Qin Sijue quickly returned to the Dijue Group to handle some mounting piles of documents and so on.
Gu Qiangwei, alone at home, slept for a while and woke up at twenty minutes past three in the afternoon.
