Gu Qiangwei smiled and nodded, just about to utter an 'mm-hmm,' when Qin Sijue rejected her again.
"No need!"
He stared at Gu Qiangwei, head unraised, yet his words were directed at Tang Yuyan.
"Qin Sijue!" Facing his cold ruthlessness, Gu Qiangwei couldn't help but growl at him softly.
His straightforward rejection would make it awkward for others, leaving them no way to step down with their dignity intact!
But Tang Yuyan didn't seem to mind; she knew that Qin Sijue's dislike for the Nangong Family was to be expected. So, she merely pursed her lips, nodded at Gu Qiangwei, and left, pulling her son along with her.
After they had left, Gu Qiangwei finally voiced her discontent with Qin Sijue, "You're making people lose face like this!"
Qin Sijue glanced at her, "Why should I give her face?"
She paused, at a loss for words.
"Alright, rest well. I'll be back in a bit."
"Where are you going?" she asked out of curiosity.
"Oh, you're quite spirited, aren't you!"
