Contract Marriage: Love Has Finally Arrived-Chapter 247 - : What a coincidence, I like it too!
Chapter 247: Chapter 247: What a coincidence, I like it too!
“Order whatever you like,” Tang Yuyan said warmly, passing the menu to Gu Qiangwei.
Her congenial and friendly demeanor often caused Gu Qiangwei to have illusions.
Being a guest, Gu Qiangwei didn’t take the menu.
“I’m easy, you go ahead and order,” she said, returning the menu with a smile.
“If no one’s ordering, I’ll do it!” Nangong Xi took over, selecting many of his favorite dishes!
“Mommy, I want a serving of century egg and lean pork congee! Can I?” the boy asked, looking up at Tang Yuyan.
...
Tang Yuyan smiled, “Of course.”
Immediately, the boy turned his head and seemed to inexplicably gaze at Gu Qiangwei, “Sister, do you like century egg and lean pork congee? I love it the most!”
Gu Qiangwei was taken aback, a slight flutter in her heart.
This boy, he also liked century egg and lean pork congee.
She smiled, “What a coincidence, I also like it a lot.”
As soon as she spoke, the boy’s dark pupils immediately shone with delight, “Really!? I love it so much!”
Nangong Mingchuan couldn’t help but be surprised by the unusual behavior of mother and son today.
These two weren’t usually so talkative, especially the son, who usually hated speaking with strangers. Yet today, he was taking the initiative to inquire about someone else’s preferences, and that too, with an attitude that showed no dislike for others.
“You… also like century egg and lean pork congee?”
Tang Yuyan’s gentle voice rang out. It wasn’t strange for someone to like century egg and lean pork congee, but for some reason, when she heard Gu Qiangwei say she liked it, Tang Yuyan felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Gu Qiangwei nodded, “When I was a child, my mother often made it for me.”
“Really!? My mommy often makes it for me too!” Nangong Xi immediately chimed in excitedly!
Gu Qiangwei was startled, her gaze involuntarily drifting to Tang Yuyan.
No wonder she saw a resemblance to her mother in her; it turned out there were indeed too many similarities between her and her mother.
Tang Yuyan looked at her, a vague feeling welling up in her heart, not knowing where it came from, just staring blankly at Gu Qiangwei.
Until Nangong Xi’s voice arose, “Daddy mommy, I’m going to the restroom!”
As he spoke, Xi had already stood up and dashed out of the private room.
Tang Yuyan then came back to her senses, worried about her son going alone, so she stood up to accompany him.
Not wanting to neglect Gu Qiangwei, she gave a slight smile as she stood up and said to her, “Excuse me a moment.”
Gu Qiangwei returned the smile, watching as the figures of mother and son disappeared at the entrance of the private room.
In an instant, the low-key luxurious private room was left with only Nangong Mingchuan and Gu Qiangwei.

Staring at the beautiful woman before him, knowing she might be Feifei’s rival in love, Nangong Mingchuan found he couldn’t harbor any animosity towards her.
“Are your parents from Jingcheng?”
The room was too quiet. As an elder, Nangong Mingchuan just found a topic to break the silence.
Yet, his question left Gu Qiangwei unsure how to respond.
Her parents…
She lowered her head, “My parents have been gone for a long time.”
Nangong Mingchuan was taken aback, not expecting his first question to be such a sensitive one, feeling a bit apologetic.
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s alright, it’s been a long time,” Gu Qiangwei replied, lifting her head with a smile of letting go.
Nangong Mingchuan nodded, as if he thought of something, he then asked.
“So now, are you alone?”
Gu Qiangwei looked up at Nangong Mingchuan, then dropped her gaze again.
“No, I… I’m married.”
