Chapter 100: 100: Encountering Shen Mochen

“I’ll support you,” if uttered by a boyfriend, might be the warmest and most domineering three words to a woman, yet when Qin Sijue said this to Gu Qiangwei, the nature of these words changed completely.

He had a fiancée with whom he was about to get engaged, support her? Was he planning to keep her as a mistress?

She smiled without saying a word.

Knock, knock, knock!

The secretary knocked and entered.

“Mr. Qin, the meeting is about to start.”

Hearing the sweet voice inside, Gu Qiangwei knew he was busy.

“You go ahead, I won’t disturb you.”

Qin Sijue remained silent for a few seconds before grunting affirmation and hanging up the phone.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hanging up, Gu Qiangwei suddenly let out a deep sigh.

How was she supposed to pass the long afternoon?

“Qiangwei?”

A familiar voice sounded, and Gu Qiangwei looked up at the sound to see Shen Mochen entering through the café door as expected.

“Mochen!” She stood up and showed a sweet smile, a bit surprised to encounter him here.

Shen Mochen returned the gentle, shallow smile, “What are you doing here?”

Gu Qiangwei opened her mouth but seemed unsure how to answer his question.

Admit she was bored and just wanted a cup of coffee?

“What about you?”

Instead of answering, she asked back.

“Feeling a bit sleepy, came to have a coffee.”

Gu Qiangwei smiled, “Me too.”

“Shall we together?”

“Sure.” While responding, Gu Qiangwei glanced guiltily at the empty cup she’d already finished.

She had already had three cups of coffee today; any more and she might have trouble sleeping at night.

The two sat down at the table, and Shen Mochen immediately noticed her empty cup.

“Did you come early?”

Gu Qiangwei nodded, “Yes, I’ve finished already.”

“Then… may I treat you to another cup?”

“Sure!”

It’s not like she had anything else to do, her laptop was also out of battery, and she had been sitting here alone for quite a while, chatting with someone seemed like a better idea than sitting idle by herself, or not even knowing where else to go.

They ordered two cups of coffee, and Shen Mochen’s gaze on Gu Qiangwei was always so warm and tender.

“By the way, ‘In This Life With You’ has officially started filming, I remember you liked this novel a lot.” (Note: The novel title is fictional for plot requirements.)

“Is that so, congratulations to you.”

“I also have to thank you for your fifty million investment.”

Gu Qiangwei smiled and said nothing more.

Her coffee was quickly finished, and looking at the time, it was already three o’clock.

She didn’t mention leaving, and Shen Mochen also didn’t get up to go.

It seemed as if seeing her wasn’t easy, and now that he had, he didn’t feel like leaving anymore.

And as they sat and talked, time unknowingly passed by more than an hour.

Suddenly, a ‘boom’ thundered, breaking the pleasant conversation between the two in the café.

Gu Qiangwei turned her head to look out the window.

This season seemed to bring a lot of thunderstorms.

They occurred every few days.

“It’s going to rain,” Shen Mochen said, looking out at the increasingly gloomy weather.

“Yes, it looks like it’s going to rain.”

He turned his head, his eyes falling on her clean and delicate profile.

“Shall I take you home?”

Gu Qiangwei turned back and smiled faintly, “No need, you go on with your work.”

“Aren’t you leaving?”

She must have come early, having sat here the whole afternoon, and now didn’t seem in a hurry to leave.

The sky was getting dark, wasn’t she planning to go home?

Or did she have an argument with that man?

Gu Qiangwei paused, thinking she might have nowhere to go that evening, and for a moment, she didn’t know how to begin.
