Contract Marriage: Love Has Finally Arrived-Chapter 550 - 551: The empty and quiet ward

His sensitive ears caught the sound of footsteps, and he turned his head to see Gu Qiangwei approaching from afar.

He put away his phone and stood up, "Are you done talking?"

Gu Qiangwei nodded, took the initiative to link her arm through his, and headed in the direction of the elevator.

Qin Sijue frowned slightly, "What’s with this eagerness?"

"Hmm... It’s nothing." She didn’t immediately speak up, because the very smart Qin Sijue would surely realize her mention of money was because of Shen Mochen.

They entered the elevator, and Qin Sijue automatically raised his hand to press the ’1’ button, but in the next second, Gu Qiangwei beat him to it and pressed the ’3’ button first.

"What are you doing?"

Gu Qiangwei looked up, her smile like a dazzling, radiant lily, "Since we’re already here, let’s drop by to see Xi!"

"I’m not going!"

"I am going!"

"..." Alright, he relented.

Qin Sijue was increasingly finding that he had no way to handle the woman in front of him. Could there come a day when he would be utterly subdued by her, turning into a henpecked husband?

Would he, Qin Sijue, become a henpecked husband?

Inside the elevator, he frowned deeply, pondering this question.

The hospital ward was quiet in the dead of night, without a hint of noise, and the hallway was silent and tranquil.

Gu Qiangwei dragged Qin Sijue to Nangong Xi’s ward.

She thought that since today was New Year’s Eve, Tang Yuyan and Nangong Mingchuan would definitely be in the ward.

However, upon entering, she saw only Nangong Xi asleep on the hospital bed; the Nangong couple were nowhere in sight.

Her brows furrowed slightly—given Tang Yuyan’s character, it was unlikely she would leave her son alone in the ward and go off by herself.

Strange...

She gestured ’shh’ to Qin Sijue, signaling him to step lightly to avoid waking Nangong Xi.

But the next instant, Nangong Xi on the hospital bed woke up after all, turned his head, and saw Gu Qiangwei and Qin Sijue walking in.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes; since he couldn’t move his leg yet, he could only lie there half-reclined, "Sister Qiangwei..."

Seeing that he was awake, Gu Qiangwei hesitated for a moment and then went over to the bedside, "Did I wake you?"

However, Nangong Xi shook his head as he hadn’t been sleeping deeply. He had been awake earlier and did not see his parents. He waited a long time and still didn’t see them return.

He shook his head, saying, "Mmm... I wasn’t really asleep."

Gu Qiangwei frowned slightly, "What’s wrong? Where are your daddy and mommy?"

"I don’t know where they’ve gone, they haven’t come back at all," said the little guy, his face showing some disappointment.

Because today was New Year’s Eve, and daddy and mommy had promised to stay with him.

Gu Qiangwei furrowed her brows, feeling it was odd too.

Even if there was something urgent, the couple probably wouldn’t both leave at the same time.

"Sister Qiangwei, do you think daddy and mommy went back to celebrate New Year’s with Nangong Feifei while I was asleep?" The idea made the little guy somewhat heartbroken.

"No, that wouldn’t happen. Don’t think like that," Gu Qiangwei consoled him.

"Then why aren’t they here with me?"

To this question, Gu Qiangwei, who had just arrived, couldn’t provide an explanation. frёewebnoѵēl.com

"I don’t know either, but don’t worry, Sister Qiangwei is here with you until your daddy and mommy come back, okay?"

Upon hearing this, the little guy’s previously downcast face immediately lit up with a brilliant smile, "Really?"

"Of course it’s true!"

"Alright!"

Thus, Gu Qiangwei sat in the ward, keeping Nangong Xi company, planning to wait until Nangong Mingchuan and Tang Yuyan returned.
