Even though he had been shocked by her trauma the other day, she clearly remembered the terrifying anger in his eyes when he had seen the finger marks on her face.
He looked as though someone had injured his most treasured possession...
Most treasured...
I shouldn’t dare to imagine that this is how he feels about me.
Qin Zhi’ai’s shelling slowed down as she weighed her thoughts, before concentrating on the task at hand again.
Gu Yusheng seemingly didn’t know how to answer her question, as he remained silent.
Just when Qin Zhi’ai thought that he’d never respond, he suddenly looked away from the window and gazed at her before saying quietly, “Because you look like a girl I’ve been looking for.”
Who? Is he talking about Liang Doukou’s body double?
A strong surge of mixed emotions roiled in her chest.
She wanted to ask if it was the girl he had mentioned on the night that they had returned from Hainan.
But she did not dare to.
What if the answer is “yes”?
Just as she’d written in her letter to Mr. S, she had always tried hard to control her heart and stop herself from being overly involved with him.
She was afraid that she would disregard the consequences and abandon her morals to make the wrong decision if he replied “yes.”
Qin Zhi’ai tried to steady her emotions as she continued to shell the chestnuts.
When she finished, she took out her phone and looked at the time. It wasn’t half past 10 yet, and she said to Gu Yusheng, “Master Gu, the taxi should be here soon. I’m going to get out there before it arrives.”
“Okay.” Gu Yusheng didn’t protest and a moment later added, “Be careful.”
“Okay,” Qin Zhi’ai replied softly. Standing up calmly, she walked over to the sofa and packed her bag. She stood up with her bag and said, “Goodbye, Master Gu.”
“Bye.”
Qin Zhi’ai flashed him a smile and headed to the door.
Before she reached it, her cell phone she’d been gripping tightly began to ring.
Looking down instinctively, she saw that it was her mother.
What is she doing up so late? Why is she calling me so late?
Afraid something was wrong, she quickly answered the phone.
“Hello, this is Dr. Zhang from Hangzhou People’s Hospital. Are you the daughter of the owner of this phone?” Qin Zhi’ai uttered “uh-huh.”
“Your mother was involved in a traffic accident, and she arrived at our hospital by ambulance. We are working hard to save her...”
“Traffic accident? What’s my mother’s current condition? Okay, got it. I’ll head over immediately...”
Seated on his bed, Gu Yusheng snapped his head toward Qin Zhi’ai.
She had already ended the call and was staring down at her phone and frantically tapping the screen. She had begun researching plane and train tickets.
But it’s already 11. Regardless of whether it’s high-speed rail or plane, it’s unlikely that she’ll be able to start a trip back today...
As this thought surfaced in his mind, Qin Zhi’ai was already making a call. The phone rang on the other end a few times, but no one answered. Like walking on hot bricks, she fidgeted and murmured, “Why isn’t Nuannuan answering?”
