Capítulo 970: Chapter 971: He’s Not My Wife

She didn’t want to bring it up; if she suddenly did, it would only hurt her.

After packing up her things, Huo Yishan stood up, looked at the invitation in her hand, and forced a smile, “What’s up with you, looking all lost and forlorn.”

After speaking, she turned around and placed the suitcase in the closet.

Gu Qiangwei watched her movements and then stood up, “Are you going to attend?”

“Of course, are you not going? That guy finally got out of being single; as friends, we all have to go, right?”

Looking at the back standing in front of the wardrobe, appearing nonchalant, but inside, is that really what she’s thinking?

Gu Qiangwei felt a bit sorry for her.

Having been in country A for several days already, was there really no progress between her and Li Yuan? Is her pride too strong, or is Li Yuan just a big blockhead?

As for whether she would go or not, Gu Qiangwei hadn’t received an invitation.

Could it have been given to Qin Sijue?

“Moreover, I prepared a ‘big gift’ for them!” After tidying her things, Huo Yishan turned back to the bed, looked at Gu Qiangwei, and said.

Gu Qiangwei was taken aback for a moment.

Not only was she going to attend the engagement banquet, but she was also preparing a big gift?

“Don’t worry, my big gift is quite special!” Looking at her friend, Huo Yishan smiled a bit mysteriously.

Even though they were once friends, even if… she couldn’t become his lover, she wouldn’t be so magnanimous as to congratulate her rival. Naturally, this ‘gift’ was special.

Seeing the flicker of light in her eyes, Gu Qiangwei didn’t quite understand.

In the evening, Huo Yishan took a shower.

After coaxing the baby to sleep, Gu Qiangwei went downstairs, sitting alone on the sofa, lost in thought.

Thinking of that invitation, she couldn’t help but take out her phone to confirm if Li Yuan was really going to get engaged to Ruan Qiuting.

He clearly cares about Yishan, but if he gets engaged to Ruan Qiuting, wouldn’t there be no hope for him and Yishan? She couldn’t understand what he was thinking.

The call went out, but it showed a message that the phone was off…

Looking at the phone screen, Gu Qiangwei focused in concentration again.

Why was Li Yuan’s phone turned off? Was it because it ran out of battery?

She heard he is managing a group now, and his phone should generally be on 24 hours, right? He shouldn’t be making such a mistake.

Lost in thought, footsteps approached from the door.

So focused, she didn’t notice until a tall figure came over, sat by her side, and pulled her into his embrace, did she look up to see Qin Sijue returning.

“What are you thinking about, so deeply that you didn’t even notice I came back?” His narrow eyes looking at her contemplative face, Qin Sijue asked softly.

“Have you called Li Yuan in the past two days?” She looked up and asked the man.

Qin Sijue glanced at the fruit platter on the coffee table, picked up a seedless grape, and popped it into his mouth.

“No. He’s not my wife, why would I call him every day?” ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel·fire·net

Hearing the man’s nonchalant tone, Gu Qiangwei couldn’t help but give him a disdainful look, “I’m talking seriously with you!”

“I just called Li Yuan and his phone was off.”

“What’s strange about that? I often call you and your phone is off, too.”

“But Li Yuan went back to manage the group, such a large company, he should be busy all day, right? How could his phone be off?”

Qin Sijue tried another grape, chewed it lightly, and also fell into contemplation.
