Feeling a gaze fixed on herself, Gu Qiangwei looked up and indeed met the man's dark, profound eyes.
"Um, thank you."
Having said that, she instinctively stood up, planning to leave the place.
After all, she did not know the man in front of her.
"Go to sleep!"
Before she could make a move, the man on the couch suddenly got up and left.
Gu Qiangwei paused, watching the man's retreating figure.
Go to sleep?
Did it mean she was supposed to sleep here tonight?
Uh, it seemed that she had nowhere else to go tonight.
When she escaped, she didn't have a penny on her, not even her phone.
Watching the man's figure disappear at the bedroom door, Gu Qiangwei sat on the bed without intending to get down.
"First thing tomorrow morning, check out what happened last night to this woman."
Qin Sijue, stepping out of the master bedroom, suddenly spoke to Luo Chen by his side.
"Yes."
"It's late, go get some rest," his indifferent voice faded as he disappeared at the study's door.
Luo Chen, left standing there, felt somewhat puzzled.
Mr. Qin actually gave up his master bedroom for Miss Gu and chose to sleep in the study?
This... was too unbelievable!
.
In the middle of the night, Gu Qiangwei awoke feeling groggy, her throat terribly dry.
"I really want a drink of water..."
Opening her bleary eyes and throwing off the covers, she stumbled out of bed, her head spinning.
The large bedroom had no water, and her blurry eyes looked toward the door; she immediately walked over, opened it, and went downstairs.
Where's the kitchen?
Just as she reached the staircase, her eyelids grew heavier, and her throat was so dry it hurt.
"Water..."
Glancing at the stairs, Gu Qiangwei suddenly shook her head—when had the stairs turned into a double shadow?
So thirsty!
She took a step, intending to go downstairs to find the kitchen, but as she lifted her foot, she missed her step and tumbled down—
"You trying to kill yourself?"
In the quiet night, a pleasant voice suddenly broke the silence, and the next moment, Gu Qiangwei felt a strong arm wrap around her waist.
Looking up, the man's face was close to hers, but Gu Qiangwei couldn't see clearly.
In the dimly lit corridor on the second floor, only a faint light remained on, but beneath the yellow glow, Qin Si noticed her cracked lips.
What's wrong with this woman?
"I want some water..."
Ignoring what the man said, Gu Qiangwei's mind was solely on getting water.
The man's deep eyes fixed on her, and it took a few seconds before he righted her body.
"Stand properly."
After saying that, the hand around her waist started to loosen, but before he could withdraw it completely, Gu Qiangwei's body tilted once more without the support.
Qin Sijue's dark gaze deepened, and he quickly caught her again!
"What's the matter with you?"
"I want some water..." The same words again.
His eyes narrowed halfway, and for reasons unknown, he suddenly lifted his hand, pressing the back of it to her forehead.
So hot!
How did this woman suddenly get this feverish!
Qin Sijue's next move was to scoop her up and carry her swiftly back to the master bedroom!
At three in the morning, Li Yuan was woken up by a phone call again!
"Boss, what time is it now!? Aren't you letting people sleep—"
"You have five minutes. If you're not here, I'll demolish your hospital."
"Qin Sijue! Don't threaten me!"
"You have 4 minutes and 48 seconds left."
"Fuck!"
After hanging up, Li Yuan immediately sprang from his bed like a bolt of lightning, grabbed his medical kit, and rushed to Jueyuan!
