Chapter 837  : Back Then, I Adored You (17)

Heading to the guest room with her mind reeling, she did not notice one of the pregnancy test kits slip out of her pocket and land on the floor as she hastily walked through the living room.

…

After returning to the guest room, Xu Wennuan laid on the bed and did not move for a very long time as her brain slowly started to regain a modicum of reason.Qin Zhi’ai kneeled on the floor and stared at these three documents as she suddenly thought about the meal last weekend, over which she had brought up her decision to go back to work.

Their daughter had become very attached to Qin Zhi’ai since she was born. Numerous times Old Master Gu had tried playing with her but she had only cried inconsolably for Qin Zhi’ai. So, when Old Master Gu had heard of Qin Zhi’ai’s decision, he had nodded without hesitation. “Even though the Gu family does not lack money, it’s not good to be cooped up at home.

Before Old Master Gu could finish, he had snorted as though he was in pain. Then he had glanced at Gu Yusheng, who had been eating with a neutral expression on his face, and had not said anything else.

All that matters is that Xiao’ai is happy, and she can do whatever she wants to. After all, the money is not the main point; her happiness is.”

After that dinner, Qin Zhi’ai had started working on her resume the moment she had gotten home. As Mother Qin had still been around then, Gu Yusheng had wrapped his arm around Qin Zhi’ai’s waist and started giving her advice for her resume.magic

Qin Zhi’ai really thought that Gu Yusheng had agreed to let her go back to work. Moreover, over the course of the next few days, he had shown diligent concern for her job hunting. When she had failed, he had comforted her affectionately and told her things like, “It’s okay, just slow and steady.” He had even called up and scolded the companies that had rejected her for their poor taste…
