Chapter 107: No Lying in Front of Me Anymore

“You are my wife, don’t you mind those women?” He looked up, his smile faint at the corners of his mouth, but his dark eyes were downcast, showing no trace of jest.

Gu Qiangwei frowned, staring at him in confusion.

What was with this man? He knew they were a pretend couple, so what did the women around him have to do with her?

Yet, at this moment, he spoke with such seriousness that it seemed as if she were his legitimate wife.

The man’s eyes, as if possessing endless magic, could ensnare one with the slightest carelessness. Gu Qiangwei quickly averted her gaze.

“I don’t mind!”

Qin Sijue’s gaze darkened as he stared at her deliberately evasive face.

Two seconds later, he changed the topic, focusing on her now less swollen ankle, “Does it still hurt?”

Gu Qiangwei looked down at her foot, “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

As she finished speaking, she withdrew her foot from his leg.

Then, she was about to head upstairs.

However, as soon as her feet touched the ground and she stood up, the piercing pain returned!

“Hiss!”

The momentary pain turned her face pale, and she fell right into his arms, perfectly balanced.

Seeing her pale face, Qin Sijue’s dark eyes slightly hardened, and he stared at her, “Don’t ever lie to me again!”

With that said, he stood up and lifted her in one motion, “Where do you want to go?”

Gu Qiangwei was still immersed in his statement, “Don’t ever lie to me again.” What did he mean by that?

“When did I lie?” She looked up at his perfect features, asking blankly.

He looked down, his narrow eyes unreadable.

“It hurts, so why say it doesn’t?”

Gu Qiangwei paused.

So, that was what he had been referring to.

“It didn’t hurt when I wasn’t standing just now!” she retorted, yet somewhat guiltily avoided his gaze.

“Where to?”

“I want to go upstairs.”

“Young Master, dinner is ready.” Just then, Qin Si approached and informed them.

Ignoring Gu Qiangwei’s words, Qin Sijue turned and carried her towards the dining hall.

He gently placed her in front of the dining table and arranged the napkin for her; tonight’s meal was Western style.

His thoughtful care left Gu Qiangwei momentarily stunned.

Having prepared everything for her, Qin Sijue returned to the head of the table and began to eat.

His slow and elegant dining motions were majestic, and Gu Qiangwei found herself staring.

“Not eating?” Qin Sijue had already taken a bite but noticed she hadn’t yet started, curiously lifting his gaze to her.

Gu Qiangwei then realized and hurriedly began to eat.

After a few bites, as if a thought struck her, she raised her beautiful eyes, staring at the quietly dining man across from her.

“You…” As the word left her lips, she suddenly paused, seemingly unsure how to continue.

Qin Sijue looked up, staring at her, apparently curious about what she was going to say next.

But his expression remained serene, revealing no emotions.

Pursing her lips, Gu Qiangwei finally spoke, “Are you going to get engaged to that Nangong Feifei?”

Qin Sijue’s eyes flickered, his lips curving into an almost imperceptible smile.

“Didn’t you say you didn’t mind?”

“…” Realizing what she had just asked, Gu Qiangwei hurriedly lowered her head, devouring her steak voraciously!

Really, she had indeed said she didn’t care about any of the other women around him before, so why suddenly ask if he was going to get engaged to someone else? It sounded just like she cared about that woman!

“Never mind!”

She quickly added, then continued eating her dinner silently, deciding not to speak again.
