Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Will You Fall in Love with Me?
“Don’t…”
What’s called “playing with fire”, Gu Qiangwei had thoroughly realized today!

And Gu Qiangwei, from initially resisting, eventually became unable to help herself, deeply falling into it.
A lengthy and intimate entanglement lasted into the deep night; by then, Gu Qiangwei was completely exhausted, curled up in his embrace, peacefully falling asleep.
Perhaps because she went to bed quite late, it wasn’t until noon the next day that Gu Qiangwei slowly awoke.
The moment she woke up and saw the time, she was so frightened that she immediately jumped out of bed!
...
A strong sensation of soreness swept through her body, causing her, who had just gotten out of bed, to freeze in place, with her eyebrows tightly furrowed.
“Hiss…”
She took a deep breath, trying to alleviate the soreness throughout her body. After a while, she finally managed to go to the bathroom, took a shower, changed into a set of cool summer clothes, and then went downstairs.
It was already past 12 o’clock—she had actually slept in this late!
Strangely, why didn’t anyone from the company call her when she didn’t show up for work?
While perplexed, she took out her phone, intending to see if there had been any calls and if she had missed them because she slept too heavily.
However, upon lowering her head, she pressed her phone for quite some time only to find it turned off.
Gu Qiangwei wrinkled her brows, staring at the phone with surprise.
She remembered that her phone was on last night, and there was plenty of battery left, so why was it turned off?
With confusion, she turned it back on.
Just as she was about to call the office, her phone suddenly started beeping nonstop…
For a moment, she was so scared that she almost dropped her phone. Upon closer inspection, she found eight missed calls! They were all from the company.
Just as she was about to call back, the phone rang again.
Looking at the familiar number, Gu Qiangwei paused for a moment before answering.
“Hello?”
“Awake?”
“Yeah,” she replied to Qin Sijue’s call while picking up her bag and car keys, ready to head downstairs.
“Have you eaten?”
“No, I am late for work!”
She rushed downstairs in a fluster, her face filled with urgency.
After finally securing a stable job, she didn’t want to take leave or skip work every other day, risking losing her job.
Hearing this, Qin Sijue in the top-floor office furrowed his brows, and his face darkened, “Why not eat?”
“Didn’t I just say it? I’m late for work; there’s no time to eat!” After replying, she was still puzzled, “I remember I set the alarm. How could it be turned off…”
“I turned it off.”
Gu Qiangwei was taken aback, her steps faltering.
“You?”
“Yeah.”
“Why, why would you turn off my phone?”
“Rather than that, you’d better eat your meal obediently!”
“I have a lot of work today. Doing this could make me fall into—”
“Then don’t go to work. I’ll support you!”
Gu Qiangwei stopped speaking, standing still.
After a while, she began, her expression saddened, “I don’t need you to support me…”
“Women who’d love to be supported by me could circle the earth. Are you sure you don’t want it?”
“Qin Sijue, if you could get rid of this narcissistic trait, then you’d be perfect!” She retorted irritably.
Qin Sijue curved his lips, “Perfect?”
“Yeah.”
“Then would you fall in love with me?” he asked unconsciously, following the flow of the conversation.
