Chapter 90: Refuse to Answer His Calls!?

However, bringing up that matter during dinner really was inappropriate; if he got upset and rejected the marriage proposal in front of Nangong He, where would he put his face?

After scanning him, Qin Guozhong finally spoke helplessly.

“Then you go ahead, we’ll talk after finishing the meal!”

Qin Sijue didn’t respond, but turned and left the dining room after Qin Guozhong finished speaking.

From just now until now, Gu Qiangwei’s figure was nowhere to be seen. Where had she gone?

Inside the dining room, seeing him walking out of the dining room, Qin Bo also wanted to follow, but Qin Guozhong stopped him to ask questions.

Upon reaching the main bedroom on the second floor, Gu Qiangwei was still nowhere to be seen.

Qin Sijue slightly furrowed his brows. She should have stayed in Jueyuan all day today. Could it be that knowing his grandfather was coming, Qin Bo sent her outside? Was it to prevent his grandfather from discovering her presence?

Thinking this, he couldn’t help but take out his phone and dial Gu Qiangwei’s number.

In the storeroom, where Gu Qiangwei had been standing the whole time, her legs grew sore and she squatted down by the door frame. Due to the long passage of time, she almost fell asleep on her own.

It wasn’t until a harsh ringtone sounded that she abruptly woke up, and in her nervousness, she ended up pressing the reject button!

The storeroom was too quiet, and she feared the sound of the phone might alert the people talking in the living room.

Huh? Looks like there’s no sound anymore?

Meanwhile, standing in the master bedroom, Qin Sijue heard the ringtone start and then swiftly end.

She actually rejected his call?

Standing still, Qin Sijue’s brows tightened as he speculated about her current whereabouts.

Two seconds later, he dialed Gu Qiangwei’s mobile number again.

Seeing the nervous Gu Qiangwei, she once again ended his call!

How could she not be nervous, hiding in the storeroom right now, making the slightest noise, made her feel like she was sneaking around!

In the end, she simply turned off her phone, to avoid being heard when the ringtone sounded again!

When he called again, he heard a shutdown tone from the other end.

Qin Sijue’s brows twisted, his mind suddenly harboring a thought.

Was she angry?

Tossing his phone onto the bed, Qin Sijue thought no more and walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

Having finally answered all of Qin Guozhong’s questions, Qin Bo quickly seized a window and hurried to the second floor.

But upon entering the master bedroom, he didn’t see Qin Sijue’s figure. Turning his head, he then heard the sound of running water from the bathroom.

The master was showering, so it wouldn’t be proper for Qin Bo to speak out, not to mention with the sound of water, the Young Master might not hear him anyway.

After a moment’s thought, Qin Bo went downstairs to the living room, about to check on the Young Madam in the storeroom, when suddenly Nangong Feifei’s voice came from behind him.

“Housekeeper!”

Just as Qin Bo was about to open the storeroom door, hearing her voice startled him, and he quickly turned around to face Nangong Feifei.

“Miss Nangong.”

“May I… go upstairs to look around?” she asked with a smile, looking at the butler, though she actually wanted to find Qin Sijue.

Upon hearing this, the old butler paused.

Except for the Young Madam, the Young Master had never brought another woman back to Jueyuan, which showed how much he valued this place.

Although Miss Nangong was brought by the master, after all, this house belonged to the Young Master. What if he got upset, wouldn’t he blame this old man?

“This… without the Young Master’s direct permission, I dare not decide,” the butler replied.

At the implication of ‘not allowed’ in his words, Nangong Feifei’s face immediately darkened, saying, “If you cannot decide, then don’t! “
