The white shirt was indeed beyond wearing anymore.

She had never helped any man take off his clothes before, and now as she began, she felt somewhat at a loss for how to proceed.

But after calming her nerves, Gu Qiangwei reached out, slowly pulling his injured hand out of the sleeve…

Qin Sijue’s profound gaze watched her focused and delicate movements, an indescribable emotion surfacing in his heart.

With the white shirt removed, the man’s strong, sexy chest muscles were completely exposed to her view, which was, for Gu Qiangwei, a fatally tempting sight!

This man was simply perfect from inside out, from top to bottom!

Handsome and wealthy, even his physique was so impressive!

“Um, today… thank you.”

As she helped him out of his shirt, thinking back on his earlier rescue, Gu Qiangwei sincerely expressed her gratitude.

Qin Sijue kept his eyes on her, his mind also replaying the incident at Dijue’s entrance.

Seeing her rushing into the middle of the road, he couldn’t explain the tightening in his chest, he just rushed over without a thought.

But soon, Qin Sijue dismissed that feeling.

“No need, I’ve said before, since you are my woman, protecting you is my duty.”

My duty?

Well, the benefits of her ‘pretend wife’ status were indeed considerable.

To think, he had risked his life to save her in that critical moment.

“Your wound, are you sure it’s not serious?”

Originally, she thought it wasn’t a big deal, but seeing how difficult it was for him to change his clothes, it must be quite severe, right? Why wasn’t he in the hospital?

“It’s nothing serious.”

He barely opened his thin lips, completely unconcerned about the injury on his arm.

“You don’t like staying in the hospital?” she asked again, out of curiosity.

The man suddenly shifted his gaze and leaned close to her face, “Do you like it?”

Gu Qiangwei paused, her beautiful eyes fixed on him.

Naturally, she didn’t like being in the hospital, but when one is injured, there’s nothing to be done, right?

“By the way, Uncle Qin asked if you want to have lunch at home.”

Seeing him pick out a new shirt, Gu Qiangwei instinctively reached out to help him put it on.

But as soon as her hand touched the shirt, she froze.

Why was she feeling like a new bride? Asking him whether he wanted to have lunch at home while also helping him dress; the feeling was really quite… something!

Qin Sijue’s gaze first landed on her still hand, then his eyelids lifted slightly, resting on her blushing face.

His eyes deepened, “What do you hope for?”

Gu Qiangwei looked up, her expression pausing.

What she hoped for?

“Uh, if it’s not a problem, shall we eat at home?”

After speaking, she was taken aback herself.

Why had she said that?

A rush of bashfulness overcame her, and she lowered her face, a hint of redness surfacing.

“Then let’s eat at home.”

He seemed quite agreeable to her suggestion.

Gu Qiangwei lifted her eyes, wondering to herself, is this how ‘pretend spouses’ interact?

Why did she feel like they were playing for real?

Cough cough, she must be overthinking it!

“Let me help you!”

As soon as their eyes met again and she saw him struggling to dress, Gu Qiangwei instinctively extended her hand and helped him put on the new shirt.

Knock knock knock!

A series of knocks sounded.

Once dressed, the two of them exited the walk-in closet and saw the butler, Uncle Qin, standing at the bedroom door.

Seeing them, he smiled respectfully, “Young Master, your lunch is…?”

“We’ll eat at home.”
