Chapter 705: Chapter 706: Do You Believe That Rumor?
Luo Chen thought to himself: You’re the boss, your word is final!
After hanging up the phone, the unfortunate Luo Chen could only delegate the task of arranging a meeting with Mrs. Kayla to his subordinates and he himself personally took on the task of investigating the main culprit behind the spread of the rumors!
In the office, Gu Qiangwei just stared at the man seething with anger, and the corners of her mouth curled into a sneaky smile when she looked down.
Then, she raised her eyes to look at Qin Sijue, about to speak.
A sudden ringtone interrupted her.
Qin Sijue turned and walked to the desk, glanced at his phone, then picked it up.
“Hello.”
“My dear, where are you right now? Come for dinner,” came the kind and friendly voice of Zhuang Yanyan on the phone.
“Not going, no time.”
On the other end of the phone, Zhuang Yanyan’s cheerful expression disappeared, a touch of disappointment in her voice, “You should be almost off work by now, how can you not have time?”
“Anyway, I just don’t have time!” Qin Sijue, in a foul mood, couldn’t bother to explain why, his heart was already so irritated.
“You little rascal, is that how you talk to your grandma!?”
Qin Sijue, out of options, said, “I have a social engagement!”
Hearing that he was busy with work, Zhuang Yanyan seemed to understand.
“What about Weiwei?”
“What about her?”
“You have an engagement, so of course, I’m inviting Weiwei to have dinner here with me!”
Qin Sijue looked up, glanced at Gu Qiangwei sitting on the sofa; he still didn’t know what she was really thinking at the moment.
But he was about to meet with Mrs. Kayla, so dinner would surely be alone for her again.
“I’ll bring her over to you later.”
Without waiting for Zhuang Yanyan to say anything, Qin Sijue hung up the phone and then directly approached the person on the sofa, their eyes meeting in a face-off.
“What’s up?”
Watching him silently, Gu Qiangwei spoke first.
“Do you believe that rumor?” His gaze was earnest, showing no hint of jest, but rather deep concern for her response.
Gu Qiangwei had thought he would talk about the phone call, but unexpectedly, he was still fixated on the rumor from earlier.
“Of course…not!”
Her hesitant reply from a few seconds ago surprised Qin Sijue.
Because her reaction before seemed as if she took the rumor very seriously. So, was she just pretending earlier?
“Then earlier you…”
Gu Qiangwei held back her laughter, enjoying seeing him so anxious that he didn’t know how to explain himself; it was adorable.
The effort she made to suppress her amusement instantly made Qin Sijue realize something, and he took a large step towards her, “Are you deliberately vexing me?”
Gu Qiangwei lowered her head and then lifted it again, looking at him, “I was just…joking around!”
Joking around!
He pulled her in close, his presence dangerously overwhelming as he brought his intense gaze closer, “Joking?”
Sensing danger, Gu Qiangwei hurriedly admitted her mistake, “I was wrong!”
As soon as she spoke, she tried to turn and flee!
But Qin Sijue would not give her that opportunity. She had provoked him and thought to run away? There was no escape!
He pulled her back, knowing she was pregnant, so he tried as much as possible not to touch her abdomen, and before she could react, a somewhat punishing kiss descended and completely enveloped her!
“Mmm—”
He hadn’t touched her for a month, and he didn’t dare to prolong the kiss too much, fearing it would ‘stoke the flames.’
After ‘punishing’ her rather extensively, Qin Sijue finally felt some relief, and just then it was time to leave work.
Together, the two of them left the CEO’s office and took the elevator down to the lobby on the first floor.
