His movement hurt Qin Zhiâai more in her abdomen. She frowned. At the same time, she could sense it as he grew madder. She wondered if he would give up if she didnât give him an answer.
Qin Zhiâai slightly pressed her lips together. She didnât know how to put it, so it took her some time to say, âIt was only because I didnât want to cause any trouble and annoy you.â
After she said it, she went quiet with her eyes looking down.
Her eyelashes were long and curled. The way she looked down made her look so quiet and beautiful, but it also gave him the illusion that she was sad. He wasnât sure it was just an illusion or she really was sad.
Gu Yusheng suddenly gasped. What she had just said kept resonating in his head, âAfraid of causing any trouble and annoying him.â
He had told her not to trouble him if there was nothing important. That was why she wouldnât come to him even if she suffered great pain. She would rather suffer through it.
Suddenly, an invisible hand seemed to grip his heart tightly. He felt a sharp pain from the left side of his chest.
That kind of pain made Gu Yusheng nervously move his eyes. He suddenly let Qin Zhiâai go and stepped back away from her.
It quieted down and became a little awkward for them.
As Qin Zhiâai hesitated, unsure if she should ask Gu Yusheng to go home, Xiaowang, who had started the car for quite a while and saw they didnât seem to be coming over to the car anytime soon, ran to them and called, âMr. Gu and Ms. Liang.â
Gu Yusheng suddenly recovered from his daze. He glanced at Qin Zhiâai, but didnât say anything to her. He stepped forward and held her in his arms. He carried her and walked to the car with a long face.
Xiaowang ran in front of them and opened the door for their convenience.
Gu Yusheng got Qin Zhiâai in the car. He took a look at her, but didnât take a seat in the back with her. Instead, he closed the door and took the passenger seat.
Xiaowang noticed something unusual about Gu Yusheng, so he started car with a tense body. He looked straight forward, except for when he had to check the road with the rear mirror on Gu Yushengâs side.
Gu Yusheng started to smoke not long after the car left the parking lot.
He didnât smoke the way he usually smoked. Instead, he took quick puffs and smoked one cigarette after another. He had smoked half the pack not long after. He rolled down the window, but there was still smoke in the car.
Xiaowang had never seen Gu Yusheng like this. He was scared and didnât dare to cough. He suppressed his cough in case the sound would make Gu Yusheng mad.
As they were halfway there, Qin Zhiâai in the backseat started to cough with her hand covering her mouth and nose.
It wasnât loud, but both Gu Yusheng and Xiaowang heard it.
Xiaowang couldnât help glancing at Gu Yusheng. He noticed Gu Yusheng bite his cigarette with furrowed eyebrows. Gu Yusheng looked up and took a look at the backseat from the rearview mirror.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
