An idea flashed in Qin Zhiâaiâs head at the vendor. She had guessed right. He did know about her and Jiayan at the amusement park.
How did he know? Did he just happen to see us orâ¦? Qin Zhiâai thought to herself. She didnât dare to continue to guess how it had happened. She stared at the words Gu Yusheng had spelled out for a while before she slowly turned around to lay her eyes on Gu Yusheng. âDid you go to the amusement park around S University tonight?â
Gu Yusheng wasnât trying to hide anything, so he nodded and admitted it when he saw she had finally realized. He tossed the gun on the table and walked to Qin Zhiâai with a fake smile. He asked condescendingly, âHow is my shooting compared to the young guy youâre paying to see you? He held the gun for a while but couldnât shoot out any words. I shot them out for you. Arenât you touched?â
When she heard the words âpaying to see you,â Qin Zhiâai looked unhappy.
Seeing her reaction, Gu Yusheng laughed, but his face didnât show any smile. It made him look even colder. He sounded prouder than ever when he said, âSo, was I wrong? Werenât you hiring him when you gave him money and took him out for dinner?â
Giving out money and paying for dinner? How could he know Jiayan and I were at Peking Hotel? After I went out in the afternoon, I only went to see Jiayan in the hotel and amusement park. How could he know about everything? Did he⦠Qin Zhiâai thought to herself. Qin Zhiâai looked up at Gu Yusheng and asked, âDid you follow me?â
Did I follow her? Does she think Iâm that bad? How would he have such low confidence in her? He didnât need to watch over a woman.
The anger Gu Yusheng had been trying to suppress suddenly became wild. He was afraid he would slap her in the next second, so he took a deep breath. He turned his head sideways to avoid seeing her face and immediately changed the topic. âWe had fun. Should we go back now and pick your hundred necklaces?â
Qin Zhiâaiâs head kept spinning. She was still thinking about how Gu Yusheng knew about Jiayan and her. If he had followed her, when had he started doing it?
Did he know she had gone to the Ladies Club to change her clothes after she spoke with Xu Wennuan on the phone?
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. She didnât know what Gu Yusheng could or would do. She couldnât help looking up and asking him in a low voice, âSince when have you started to watch me?â
âMe watching you? Iâm not that bad. Who do you think you are that I need to watch you? How could you have an affair in our marriage and turn around to blame me? Youââ Gu Yusheng couldnât help arguing back after Qin Zhiâaiâs questioning. However, he suddenly stopped talking.
He had told himself to control his temper and try not to hurt her. The corners of his mouth tensed. He grabbed her wrist and said to the vendor, âPlease send those toys to the outdoor café.â Then he walked away with her.
â¦
Gu Yusheng pushed Qin Zhiâai towards the table once they got to the outdoor café and yelled at her, âNow pick.â
He saw how she had no reaction after looking at the necklaces on the table. Gu Yusheng closed his eyes and took a long breath to calm himself down. He said, âIâll let what you did with that guy go if you can pick a hundred necklaces.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
