He needed to calm down, and have some self-control. Gu Yusheng quickly searched for a cigarette with his trembling hand while he was thinking. He took a few puffs. For some reason, he only felt sadder.
Even though only he knew their relationship was not of a husband and wife, others believed they were married. Her behavior obviously humiliated him, like she was slapping him in front of others. He should have torn her apart since she had been treating him so badly. However, how could he be so worried about hurting her?
Even though he didn’t want to hurt her, what was he supposed to do about her having affair with that guy? Should he pretend he hadn’t seen it or… Thinking of her giving that guy such big smile, that smile had been so bright that it hurt his eyes. Gu Yusheng couldn’t pretend nothing had happened, so he had to take some time to think about how to handle it.
Gu Yusheng sat in the car and smoked cigarettes one after another, until the whole pack was gone and his mouth tasted bitter. The phone on the passenger seat suddenly rang.
Gu Yusheng turned his head to see who was calling. It was the house’s landline, which meant it should be the housekeeper. She must have been calling to let him know she was home.
Gu Yusheng reached his hand out and subconsciously wanted to hang up the phone. However, when his hand had just touched the phone screen, he suddenly remembered something. He changed his mind and picked up the phone. “Mr. Gu, Miss is home now,” the housekeeper said.
Before the housekeeper finished talking, Gu Yusheng interrupted her. He sounded so calm that it seemed like nothing had happened. “Take her to the amusement park on the east side of the city.”
“Huh, right now?” The housekeeper sounded like she heard something unbelievable as she answered in a shocked tone.
Gu Yusheng didn’t care enough to give the housekeeper an explanation. He lifted his wrist to check the time and responded with an order, “You need to arrive before eleven o’clock.” He hung up the phone without further discussion. He searched for Lu Bancheng’s number and called him.
After a long flight, Qin Zhi’ai had gone to see Qin Jiayan without taking any rest. She came home exhausted. It seemed like there was no energy left in her. She went to the master bedroom right away, planning to take a shower and go to sleep right after. When she had just changed into pajamas, the housekeeper hastily ran upstairs. “Miss, Mr. Gu called to ask me to take you to the amusement park on the east side of the city.”
The amusement park on the east side of the city? I just came back from there with Jiayan. Why would Gu Yusheng ask me to go to the amusement park? Qin Zhi’ai thought to herself.
Qin Zhi’ai frowned and wanted to say no. “Does it have to be today? Could it be another day?”
“Mr. Gu said we had to be there by eleven o’clock.” The housekeeper shook her head and had a look on her face that left no room for argument.
Qin Zhi’ai knew Gu Yusheng didn’t like others to say no to him, so she hesitated for a second before she said anything. Her skill as a body double was improving. She didn’t want to get herself in any trouble. She nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll come downstairs after I get dressed. You can go and start the car first.”
…
The roads in Beijing weren’t jammed at night. It took Qin Zhi’ai and the housekeeper less than half an hour to get to the amusement park on the east side of the city.
The amusement park should have closed, but the whole park was lit up, the lighting gorgeous. The rides in the park were in service as well.
Besides the staff, there were no other people.
Qin Zhi’ai and the housekeeper had no idea what was happening. They looked at each other in confusion and walked into the park.
