Chapter 73: Chapter 73: It’s Actually Seafood Congee

“`

Until his warm lips moved away, Gu Qiangwei was still completely in shock, and the man, after leaving his words, closed his eyes to sleep once again.

Although she wasn’t quite certain what “summary execution” meant, Gu Qiangwei didn’t dare to speak anymore.

Just that one kiss ensured she was truly going to suffer from complete insomnia tonight…

At that moment, the man’s sensuous lips involuntarily curved upward into an arc under the warm yellow light.

The nights of summer weren’t very long.

In the morning, a ray of sunshine pierced through the sheer curtains into the room, and since it was just getting light when she fell asleep, Gu Qiangwei found a comfortable position after turning over in bed and continued to sleep, contented.

It wasn’t until the sound of trickling water came from the bathroom that she lazily opened her eyes, coinciding with a glimpse of the dazzling sunlight.

The sunlight was somewhat blinding, and she shielded her eyes with her hand, gazing at the blue sky outside the window.

The sunlight was dazzling, but her heart felt slightly damp.

‘Click.’

The bathroom door opened, and Qin Sijue came out wearing a robe, revealing his ivory-colored skin that was healthy and taut, along with that sexy and firm chest—a pure temptation!

Seeing the man, Gu Qiangwei’s mind couldn’t help but recall the sudden kiss from last night, and in an instant, her ear tips turned crimson!

Embarrassment made her instinctively lower her face and look away.

Qin Sijue had just returned from his morning swim, accustomed to taking a bath, but he hadn’t expected her to wake up at this time.

Their gazes collided, and he gave her a deep look before heading to the wardrobe to change into a clean, crisp white shirt and hand-tailored trousers.

Watching him enter the wardrobe, Gu Qiangwei slipped away in a flash, hurrying into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth!

When she came out again, Qin Sijue’s figure was nowhere to be seen in the luxurious bedroom.

After changing into a set of homewear, Gu Qiangwei went downstairs.

“Young Madam is up.”

Seeing her come down, Butler Qin greeted her respectfully and warmly.

Gu Qiangwei also responded with a courteous and gentle smile.

“Young Master is waiting in the dining room for you to have breakfast together,” Butler Qin added with a smile.

Gu Qiangwei paused, her eyes naturally drifting towards the dining room entrance.

She then moved forward, gradually making her way there.

Upon entering, she saw the man seated in the main seat, and that passionate kiss erupted once again in her mind.

She lowered her face, coughed softly, and tried to reclaim her thoughts.

Then, she sat down at the dining table.

Only after she was seated did Qin Sijue lift his hand to pick up his bowl and spoon, leisurely sipping his seafood porridge.

Gu Qiangwei glanced at him and then bowed her head, intending to pick up her own bowl and spoon.

However, upon looking down, she noticed half a crab in her bowl of white porridge.

It was seafood porridge?

What to do? Seafood always upset her stomach…

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing her motionless, staring blankly, Qin Sijue raised his eyes, and his narrow gaze was fixed on her unmoving form.

“Uh, nothing,” she looked up at him and then quietly lifted her bowl to begin eating, taking small sips.

A little should be fine, right?

Although she was nominally the ‘mistress’ of the house, it was only a sham marriage, and she didn’t feel it was right to have someone prepare another breakfast for her, so she made do with what was available.

Fortunately, there were also steamed buns and eggs. She would eat less porridge and have an extra bun!

After just a couple of small sips, Gu Qiangwei raised her hand, instinctively reaching for a bun.

However, just as her hand barely touched the top bun, Qin Sijue’s hand also reached for the same one; she was momentarily taken aback, and the movement to take a bun halted abruptly.
