Qin Sijue lifted his eyes and said coldly, “The people I hire only serve me.”

Gu Qiangwei was speechless. “…”

Dragging her luggage along, she could only turn back around and see if she could find someone when walking on the road.

Since this is a road, there must be cars passing by, right?

Despite that thought, she did not know that the roads around the mountain were actually privately owned by Qin Sijue.

When he heard the sound of her footsteps fade away, Qin Sijue, who was sitting on the sofa, could not help but swivel his head back, only to see her body disappearing at the entrance.

The old butler walked out. He still had a good impression of Gu Qiangwei—after all, she was the first woman Master brought back to Jue Yuan.

“Master, Miss Gu has just left. I’m afraid that by traveling on foot, she can’t even get to the city center of City Jing by night time. Furthermore, when the sky darkens and there’s no one around, will she…”

The old butler wanted to say something, but stopped. He was a little worried about Gu Qiangwei.

However, this sentence spoke straight to Qin Sijue’s heart.

How stupid is this woman? She plans to walk back to the city center?

On this scorching day, Gu Qiangwei dragged her luggage and walked on the asphalt road. She was famished as she still had not eaten lunch.

She lifted her eyes and looked to the front, then to the back again. Indeed, there were no cars!

If she continued walking, she probably would not even reach the city center by night time.

Why does he live so far away for no reason?

Dragging her luggage, she could not help but complain.

Living at such a high place seemed to explain his dignified background. It was like looking at the mansion, located half-way up the mountain, from the city center—incredibly unattainable.

She still needed to meet CEO Huang at night and be his translator, so she definitely could not continue like this. She needed to find a way to get on a car.

Oh right, should I ask Shen Mochen to pick me up?

Shen Mochen was her senior at college and became her company’s executive CEO after graduating.

Upon that thought, Gu Qiangwei took out her phone and was about to call Shen Mochen when the sound of an engine roaring suddenly interrupted her. Turning her head around, she saw a limited-edition luxurious sports car stopping beside her.

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

When she saw the man, Gu Qiangwei was stunned.

“Get on.”

The man’s tone did not allow for any refusal.

Obviously, there were only the two of them there; Gu Qiangwei knew that he was calling her.

So is he planning to send me to the city center?

She pursed her lips and walked to the front of the car window. “Thank you.”

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

She initially thought that the luxurious car would race towards the bottom of the mountain unhesitatingly; however, it turned around the next moment.

Gu Qiangwei was dumbfounded.

“Aren’t you sending me to the city center?”

She swung her head around and looked at the man sitting on the driver’s seat in shock.

“Eat lunch with me!”

Again, he spoke in a tone that did not allow for refusal.

Gu Qiangwei was stunned.

After two minutes, the car arrived back at Jue Yuan.

Qin Sijue alighted the car first. Gu Qiangwei opened the car door, and, still stunned, she watched his back as he walked away.

She still needed to find a house quickly—how would she have the time to eat lunch with him?

Growl…

However, at this moment, sounds of resistance came from her stomach.

She was indeed hungry.

“Miss Gu, please come inside.”

While she was still in a daze, the old butler walked out and gestured respectfully for her to enter.

Gu Qiangwei glanced at the old butler, who did not seem to care about the lunch’s timing either, and she dragged her luggage along and entered.

The old butler noticed her actions and took the luggage from her hands hurriedly.

“There’s no need to. I can do it myself.”

In front of the old butler, who looked like he was over fifty years old, Gu Qiangwei was too embarrassed to let him help herself with the luggage.
