Chapter 124: Must Be Cold in the Water, Right?

“Hasn’t it ended yet?”

“Hmm.”

“I have some time now, should I go over and wait for you?”

Gu Qiangwei turned her head and glanced at the boring celebration party, “Sounds good, it’s almost at its end anyway.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone in the underground parking lot, Shen Mochen was about to drive away.

Suddenly, a figure unexpectedly appeared in front of his car, startling him into slamming on the brakes!

Still shaken, Shen Mochen saw Qiao Muxue standing in front of the car at a glance.

“What are you doing?” He got out of the car, puzzled by the sudden appearance of Qiao Muxue in front of his car.

If it hadn’t been for his quick reaction, she might have been hit!

Staring at the man stepping out of the car, Qiao Muxue’s face flushed with anger, “I’m asking you, has Gu Qiangwei moved into that apartment you bought!?”

Stunned for a few seconds, Shen Mochen coldly retorted, “It’s none of your business.”

“How is it none of my business? That apartment was prepared by Uncle Shen for your marriage!”

“That’s why I’m saying it’s none of your business.” He stressed the words “it’s none of your business”.

Qiao Muxue was taken aback, her face paling slightly.

“None of my business? Uncle Shen and my father had long discussed our marriage—”

“That was just their wish, I never agreed.”

“What…” Qiao Muxue knew that Shen Mochen did not like her, but in such affluent families, marriages were almost always alliances for the sake of interests, plus their two families had been friends for generations, and their marriage had been deemed certain.

“If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.”

With those words, Shen Mochen turned and got back into his car.

As she watched his car disappear at the exit of the parking lot, Qiao Muxue’s face turned so pale it lost all its color.

To think he cared so much for one Gu Qiangwei, yet overlooked her entirely.

.

Having hung up the phone, Gu Qiangwei was staring somewhat absent-mindedly at the phone screen.

A week had passed, Qin Sijue must have returned by now, and knew she had left, right?

She didn’t understand her own heart, she should have forgotten that name by now, yet these past few days she kept checking her phone incessantly.

I’m going insane!

After putting the phone back into her handbag, Gu Qiangwei turned around, planning to wait at the entrance for Shen Mochen to arrive.

However, as she turned, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of her.

Then, under the moonlight, Ding Ruolan’s red lips slightly lifted, and then…

‘Splash,’ she fell backwards into the pool behind her!

Watching Gu Qiangwei fall into the water, Ding Ruolan lifted the corners of her mouth proudly, “Oh dear, why are you so careless?”

Struggling to the surface, Gu Qiangwei clearly saw Ding Ruolan standing by the pool, that smug smile, making her secretly clench her fists!

Suddenly, an arm reached out in front of her.

Gu Qiangwei was startled for a moment, and for a split second, she thought the hand was Qin Sijue’s.

However, shifting her gaze, she saw a face she despised deeply in her life!

Gu Shijie reached out his hand, his lips curling into a smile, “The water must be quite cold, right?”

Staring at him, hate surged in Gu Qiangwei’s eyes, while beside him Ding Ruolan appeared somewhat dazed, turning her head in surprise to look at Gu Shijie.

He had promised to teach Gu Qiangwei a lesson, so why was he helping her out of the water?

“Shijie…” She frowned unhappily, clearly dissatisfied with his action.

Gu Shijie turned his head, his lips curling into a seductive smile, “Darling, don’t rush.”

Glancing at the two before her, Gu Qiangwei finally understood, and she scoffed coldly.
