Contract Marriage: Love Has Finally Arrived

Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Making Meals for a Lifetime

Staring at her as if he had given the matter deep thought, it was a long while before he finally spoke, “Are you interested in making meals for me for a lifetime?”

His sudden question caused Gu Qiangwei, who was holding chopsticks, to pause slightly as she stared straight at him with clear eyes.

What she wasn’t sure about was whether Qin Sijue’s words were said on a whim or if they carried a deeper meaning.

“For a lifetime?” Facing his dark, ink-like eyes, her expression remained calm.

He said nothing, just staring at her, waiting for an answer.

If she could, she really wanted to reply simply: “Okay.”

But lowering her head, she instead said, “My cooking isn’t good.”

The subtle hint of rejection in her voice wasn’t lost on Qin Sijue.

“I don’t mind!”

Her movements while eating halted once again, her heart deeply touched.

He suddenly propped his chin, gazing at her with interest, his serious tone laced with a hint of casualness, “Under the condition that I don’t mind, are you interested now?”

Facing his persistent tone that seemed like he wouldn’t rest until he got an answer, she felt under siege.

“Qin Sijue.”

“Hmm?”

After a long while, Gu Qiangwei softly began, “Is cooking all that’s needed?”

He didn’t understand the meaning of her question, but he was clear that when he had asked, it was his subconscious asking if she was willing to stay by his side for a lifetime.

Nevertheless, being his wife, even if she couldn’t cook, that was a trivial detail.

“Of course, if you don’t like it, then don’t do it.”

“That’s not what I’m asking.” She clarified, “What I mean is, is cooking all that you need from me, and you don’t care about the rest…?”

Clearly, her words were pointed.

“What are you referring to?”

Gu Qiangwei suddenly avoided his gaze, “Nothing really, I mean, I have many shortcomings. Apart from this bowl of noodles, there’s almost nothing I know how to do!”

He suddenly leaned forward, his tone suggestive as he looked at her, “Who says? Don’t you have one greatest strength?”

Curiosity replaced dejection, she looked up, blankly asking, “What?”

He concealed a smirk, a tease hanging on his lips, “For example, staying up to ‘fight’ with me every night.”

“…”

After a second of stunned silence, Gu Qiangwei abruptly stood up, too embarrassed to hold herself together, “Qin Sijue! What is it that you think about all day long!?”

Watching her flushed face, his smile grew even more suggestive, “Thinking of you.”

“…” She glared at him, turned around, and felt that it was simply impossible to have a proper conversation!

“I can’t be bothered with you!”

Qin Sijue had already finished his bowl of noodles, whereas Gu Qiangwei had only eaten half.

She wasn’t very hungry to begin with; she had cooked the two bowls just to keep him company.

Watching her bashful yet angry departure, he stood up and, with an unexpected move, swept her up from behind!

“What are you doing?! Put me down this instant!”

“Continuing what we didn’t finish earlier.”

Holding her, he headed straight to the second floor.

“I don’t want to!” she resisted. She had been busy working during the day and still had to ‘fight’ with him at night; she was truly feeling exhausted.

“Whether you want to or not, you can answer me later.”

Once on the bed, Gu Qiangwei really couldn’t say ‘no’ anymore and even found herself involuntarily reciprocating him at the crucial moment.

Looking down at the person beneath him, Qin Sijue smiled contentedly.

After the affair, Gu Qiangwei finally found release and, exhausted, sprawled in his embrace, gradually sank into slumber…

The next day.

A rare guest arrived at the Nangong Residence.
