Chapter 225: Chapter 225: I Like to Count on You!
Looking up, she met the man’s icy cold face.
“If there’s anything, let’s go inside and sit down to talk,” she said. Although he disliked her, she still wished to interact with him peacefully and tried to get him to notice her strengths.
She could never understand what she lacked compared to Gu Qiangwei.
Staring at her, Qin Sijue’s dark eyes were devoid of warmth.
“Nangong Feifei?”

It seemed that only then did Qin Sijue confirm that her name was Nangong Feifei.
...
Although the full name sounded unfamiliar, Nangong Feifei couldn’t help feeling a burst of joy inside.
She nodded, “Yes!”
After a pause, Qin Sijue’s tall, lean body suddenly leaned over her imposingly, his cold eyes emitting a dangerous air, “From now on, if anything happens to Gu Qiangwei, even if a single hair is out of place, I will hold you accountable.”
His sudden words noticeably startled Nangong Feifei.
Had he come today specifically for Gu Qiangwei?
At that thought, Nangong Feifei’s heart suddenly felt uneasy.
Could it be that Gu Qiangwei was not sold to Africa last night?
Meeting the man’s bone-chilling gaze, Nangong Feifei’s heart trembled, trying to hide something, she averted her eyes, “I… don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
He had hidden meanings in his words, how could she not have heard them.
But she absolutely could not admit to last night’s events, otherwise how could Qin Sijue possibly marry her.
Qin Sijue’s lips curved up suddenly, a smile appearing, “What I said, you don’t understand?”
Nangong Feifei was startled, lifting her eyes to meet the man’s meaningful gaze.
He had merely said if something happened to Gu Qiangwei, he would blame her. Although there was an underlying message, he hadn’t explicitly stated it, instead, it was her own guilty conscience that drew connections to last night’s events.
With that thought, Nangong Feifei felt even more uneasy.
Yet she still pretended to be calm, “Why blame me, I didn’t do anything to her!”
Qin Sijue laughed, “I like blaming you!”
With that, he glanced at her and turned to leave, as if staying here one more second would be intolerably annoying!
Nangong Feifei stood frozen in place, watching his indifferent departing figure.
It was his first visit to the Nangong Family, and it was for that Gu Qiangwei. He even declared that any harm Gu Qiangwei might suffer in the future would be her responsibility. What if Gu Qiangwei tripped while walking, would he blame her for that too?
Thinking this, her hands hanging by her sides involuntarily clenched tight, anger climbing up her delicate face!
“Feifei.”
Behind her, Nangong Mingchuan’s voice sounded.
Releasing her clenched fist, Nangong Feifei turned around, “Daddy.”
“What did you do?”
Being questioned, Nangong Feifei felt somewhat guilty, “I didn’t do anything!”
“If you did nothing, why would Qin Sijue come all this way to say that to you?” Nangong Mingchuan’s expression was somewhat stern, although he loved his daughter dearly, he never spoiled her.
Being directly confronted, Nangong Feifei, already in a bad mood, responded, “He already likes that Gu Qiangwei, if it weren’t for her, he and I would have been engaged by now!”
Having said that, as if greatly aggrieved, she stomped upstairs in a huff!
Watching his daughter’s retreating figure, Nangong Mingchuan’s expression grew heavy.
As a father, he did not want his daughter to marry a man who did not like her, but the marriage alliance between the two families had been settled, and the old father also hoped for a union between the Qin and Nangong families, which would benefit both families in Jingcheng.
