Chapter 224  : Not His Wife (4)

Due to his fast speaking and unclear pronunciation, Qin Zhi’ai only heard that he had said something, but she wasn’t sure what the exact words were. Thus, she asked Gu Yusheng directly, “What?”

She didn’t hear me?

Gu Yusheng lowered his head and took a glance at his watch. There were about twenty five seconds left, but he still didn’t dare to look her in the eyes. Then he swallowed her saliva and repeated what he had just said. “Happy birthday.”

Because of his nervousness and awkwardness, he still spoke a little fast, but less fast than before. The pronunciation was clearer, so Qin Zhi’ai could finally surmise what he meant.

Happy birthday.The expectation in Qin Zhi’ai’s eyes turned to gloom in an instant. Her head dropped rapidly, as she murmured gently, “Hmm.”

It turned out that those words didn’t belong to her and never would, even if she strove for them through lies.

It was she who had expected too much… Qin Zhi’ai tried very hard to lift up the corners of her mouth, then opened her mouth and changed the topic. “I’ll go get a bottle of water for you.”

After saying that, Qin Zhi’ai turned around and walked to the bedside. She put the gift carelessly onto the bed and took a bottle of water from the bedside table.

With her back to Gu Yusheng, she intended to take her time unscrewing the cap to ease the sadness in the bottom of her heart, but after she had tried very hard for a long while, the bottle remained unopened.

When she had dropped her head, Gu Yusheng had already caught the disappointment in her eyes.

Did my not so nice tone hurt her?

Although she had quietly smiled to him warmly after, he still thought that she had been forcing herself, since she was unwilling to have her sadness noticed by him…

Gu Yusheng stared at her unscrewing the cap for a moment. Suddenly, he strode towards her, grasped her wrist, and pulled her to himself, her face to his. He originally intended to apologize to her. He also wanted to give her an explanation, but at last, he moved his lips, lowered his head, and covered her lips with his.

At the very start, he had intended only to kiss her. Nevertheless, he lost control in the end.
