Chapter 818: Chapter 819 Your Condition Doesn’t Allow It
“Yishan!”
“Ha—” Huo Yishan suddenly yawned, her voice sounding somewhat weary, “Qiangwei, I’m really tired, want to sleep a bit. I’ll look for you after I wake up, hanging up now.”
After saying that, she didn’t wait for Gu Qiangwei’s response and hung up the phone directly.
That seemingly ordinary statement still made Gu Qiangwei feel that something was not quite right.
Usually, Yishan would never hang up without waiting for her response, even at her busiest moments; she would wait for her to say ‘bye’ or ‘okay’ before hanging up the phone.
Indeed, Huo Yishan, who had hung up the phone, did not go to sleep, but lay sprawled across the bed, her head hanging over the edge, staring blankly at the pure white floor.
The faint suffocating feeling in her chest was connecting with her heart, causing a persistent pain.
On the other side, Gu Qiangwei stared at her phone, unable to snap back to reality for a long time.
“I want to go to the Huo Family.”
“No,” Qin Sijue refused flatly.
Gu Qiangwei was a bit anxious, “But I’m worried about Yishan!”
“Your situation doesn’t allow it!” He knew her worries, but he was even more concerned about her.
After saying that, the blue Koenigsegg drove straight towards Jueyuan, unobstructed.
Unable to persuade him, Gu Qiangwei had no choice but to give up on going to the Huo Family and instead made a call to Li Yuan.
But the phone rang for a long time, yet no one answered.
“Did Li Yuan come back? Why isn’t he answering the phone?”
As no one picked up on the other end, Gu Qiangwei grew even more anxious.
“He hasn’t returned; he’s probably… drowning his sorrows in alcohol,” Qin Sijue guessed.
Gu Qiangwei was half-comprehending and half-confused, “Drowning what sorrows?”
“Because Huo Yishan said something to him before her return.” Li Yuan liked Huo Yishan; probably the whole world knew except for Huo Yishan herself.
“What did she say?”
Qin Sijue turned his head, “It seems that you can only get engaged to Miss Ruan now. Congratulations, you’re finally off the singles list!”
Gu Qiangwei was stunned, “That’s what Yishan said?”
“Mhm.”
“…”
How could things have turned out this way? They clearly liked each other, didn’t they? Why did it end up with them wishing happiness for each other?
Upon returning to Jueyuan, Gu Qiangwei was somewhat absent-minded the entire afternoon.
From time to time, she looked at her phone, as if still waiting for Huo Yishan to wake up and call her.
But until evening came, and dinner ended, Huo Yishan had not called even once.
And when she called again, it went unanswered as well.
“Enough, stop worrying about their business.”
Qin Sijue approached, took the phone from her hand, then picked her up and headed towards the second floor.
Looking at the man’s finely-shaped jawline, Gu Qiangwei suddenly spoke up, “Qin Sijue.”
“Hmm?”
“Could you call Li Yuan for me?” She thought, with the good relationship between them as brothers, perhaps Li Yuan would answer Qin Sijue’s call.
“What difference does it make if you call or I call?”
“You’re his good friend; he’d definitely answer.”
“It’s pointless.”
Having carried her to the bed, until she lay there, Gu Qiangwei had no desire to sleep.
“Qin Sijue, can’t you help them out?”
His narrow eyes looked down at her from above, solemn and earnest, “Mrs. Qin, if even you, her good sister, can’t help, do you really think I can be of any help?”
“But you’re Li Yuan’s good brother, aren’t you?”
“Brothers and wives are different matters; a wife is someone you pursue yourself, not someone a brother brings to you. For instance, you, didn’t I pursue you?” He suddenly leaned in close, as if he wasn’t worried at all about Li Yuan and Huo Yishan’s business, or rather, as if he didn’t care in the slightest.
