Chapter 39  : The Old Times of Him and Her (9)

“Were you the only one home last night?”

Gu Yusheng’s sudden question made the housekeeper’s fingertips tremble, but she still pretended to be calm. “Yes.”

Did I misremember that?Gu Yusheng frowned again.

“Mr. Gu?” The housekeeper asked when she saw Gu Yusheng didn’t react.

The call brought Gu Yusheng back.–

Gu Yusheng had only told the housekeeper to tell Qin Zhi’ai that he would wait for her in the usual place, but he didn’t tell her the exact time.magic

Like the last time grandfather had come back from Shanghai and they went to the Gu Mansion for dinner, Qin Zhi’ai went to the Hutong very early in the day.

Gu Yusheng must have been entangled in something, because he hadn’t come, even after Qin Zhi’ai had been waiting there for more than two hours.

The sun in the summer was hot, and although Qin Zhi’ai had been standing in the shade, she still sweated a lot and got thirsty after a long time. Her phone number had been blocked by Gu Yusheng, so she couldn’t call him, even though she didn’t know how long she would still have to wait. She hesitated for a moment, then walked to the supermarket across the road and bought a bottle of ice water.

When the whole bottle of water was nearly finished, Gu Yusheng’s car finally arrived.

Qin Zhi’ai threw the empty bottle into the trash can, and got in the car with the gift that she had prepared in advance for Old Master Gu.

They hadn’t seen each other for two months, but Gu Yusheng remained indifferent and cold as always when he saw her.

Qin Zhi’ai knew that Gu Yusheng wouldn’t be willing to talk to her, so she didn’t say anything to him after she got in the car.

Gu Yusheng arrived very late, so when they drove into the yard, there was no room for them to park. Gu Yusheng had to park his car outside on the street.
