Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Accompany Me for Lunch!
Editor: Atlas Studios

Qin Sijue lifted his eyes, his tone chillingly cold, “The people I invite are here to serve only me.”

Gu Qiangwei: “…”

Dragging her suitcase, she could only turn around to see if she could catch a ride while on the road.

Since it was a road, there must be cars passing by, right?

Little did she know that the winding mountain road was Qin Sijue’s private property.

Hearing the fading footsteps, Qin Sijue, sitting on the sofa, couldn’t help but turn his head, only to see her figure had disappeared at the entrance.

The old butler came out, remembering Gu Qiangwei well since she was the first woman Young Master had brought back to Jueyuan.

“Young Master, Miss Gu has left. Walking, she likely won’t reach Jingcheng center until nightfall, and once it gets dark, the surroundings are uninhabited. Might it not be…”

The old butler hesitated, worried about Gu Qiangwei.

And with one phrase, he struck a chord in Qin Sijue’s heart.

How foolish was that woman? Planning to walk back to the city?

Under the blazing sun, Gu Qiangwei, dragging her suitcase along the asphalt road, grew hungrier by the moment as she hadn’t eaten lunch yet.

She looked around, only to find that no cars were in sight!

Continuing this way, she feared she wouldn’t reach the city even by nightfall.

Why did he live so far away!

Dragging her suitcase, she couldn’t help but complain.

The higher his residence, it seemed, the more it underscored his distinguished and honorable status, just like the villa perched on the hillside seen from the city, appearing so unreachable.

She also had to meet with Mr. Huang that evening as his interpreter; continuing on foot definitely wouldn’t do. She needed to find a way to get a ride.

Right, should she ask Shen Mochen to pick her up?

Shen Mochen was her senior during college and, after graduating, had become the executive CEO of their company.

Thinking this, Gu Qiangwei took out her phone, about to call Shen Mochen.

Suddenly, a fast-approaching engine noise rang out, and turning her head, she saw a limited-edition luxury sports car stopping beside her.

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing the man’s sculpted, handsome face.

Looking at the man, Gu Qiangwei froze.

“Get in the car.”

The man’s tone allowed no refusal.

It was clear there were only the two of them here; Gu Qiangwei knew he was calling her.

So was he planning to take her to the city?

She pursed her lips, walking to the car window, “Thank you.”

After thanking him, she opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

She had thought the luxury car would head straight down the mountain without hesitation, but unexpectedly, it turned around the next moment.

Gu Qiangwei was taken aback.

“Aren’t you taking me to the city?”

She turned her head, looking astonished at the man in the driver’s seat.

“Join me for lunch!”

Again, a tone that brooked no refusal.

Gu Qiangwei was stunned.

Two minutes later, the car arrived at Jueyuan, and Qin Sijue got out first.

Gu Qiangwei opened the car door, staring at his retreating figure in a daze.

She was still anxious to look for a house; how did she have time to join him for lunch?

Gurgle…

Just then, her stomach protested loudly.

She really was hungry.

“Miss Gu, please come inside.”

While she was still dazed, the old butler came out, respectfully gesturing for her to enter.

Gu Qiangwei glanced at the old butler, not really minding the time spent on a meal, so she dragged her suitcase inside.

Seeing this, the butler hurriedly took her things from her hand.

“No need, I can manage on my own.”

The butler, being over fifty, made Gu Qiangwei feel uncomfortable having him carry her luggage.
