In the middle of zipping up her bag, Qin Zhiâai turned around to look at Gu Yusheng.
Staring at the light in front of him, the man didnât turn to look at her. After a while, the wind started to blow, and even with the wind, his gentle tone entered her ears, âIâm sorry.â
Qin Zhiâai had never expected that Gu Yusheng to say such words. Suddenly shocked, she stayed there and looked at Gu Yusheng silently for a long time.
Although Gu Yusheng didnât look at her, he knew that she was watching him. He thought she hadnât realized why he had said that. Silent for a few seconds, he turned to her and met her eyes. âDid you see what the housekeeper handed to you?â
Qin Zhiâai froze there, not because she didnât know what Gu Yushengâs apology meant, but because she was shocked by his apology. When she heard his explanation, she immediately pulled herself together and nodded. âI saw it.â
âIf you arenât satisfied with the repairs on the necklace, you can tell meâ¦â Gu Yusheng paused. Thinking that she might not want to go to him about it, he looked away from her face and added, âYou can also tell Xiaowang.â
âNo, itâs very good.â Qin Zhiâai felt somewhat unsure of Gu Yushengâs suddenly gentle behavior. She thought that Lu Bancheng had told her he had looked for the necklace the whole night and spent a lot of time and effort to repair it. Then she added in a soft voice, âThank you.â
âWhy are you saying thank you?â Gu Yusheng smiled slightly, âThatâs just what I had to do.â
The necklace had been broken by him because he failed to control his temper that day⦠Opening his mouth slightly, Gu Yusheng said again, âIâm sorry.â
After he had broken the necklace that day, Qin Zhiâai had been extremely angry, but when she saw him standing in the rain for such a long time and giving the necklace back to her, she already partially felt relieved.
When she heard him say âIâm sorryâ twice, she felt a little embarrassed and said, âIt doesnât matter.â
In fact, she had also done wrong that day. Even though Jiayan knew that she pretended to be Liang Doukou, she shouldnât have gone on a date with him in Liang Doukouâs appearance simply for convenienceâ¦
Soon, Liang Doukou would come back. Seriously speaking, she had been with him for so long, yet failed to get along with him well.
He has already apologized, and she had to take a step back. After all, in only fourteen days, she would leave himâ¦
Holding the bag in her hand with a little smile, Qin Zhiâai continued to speak to Gu Yusheng. âMoreover, something was going on that day. That boy was the younger brother of my friend, and Iâve always regarded him as a younger brother. I used to play with him, so I didnât pay attention to it that day. I didnât expect you to know about itâ¦â Stopping her words, Qin Zhiâai forced a smile. âThat day, you were sure to feel embarrassed. It was no wonder that you were angry.â
âNot embarrassedâ¦â After she finished her words, Gu Yusheng blurted those words out. When he realized what he had said, he stopped suddenly.
If it wasnât because of embarrassment, then what was it?
Puzzled, Qin Zhiâai said to Gu Yusheng, âIs that so?â
It wasnât embarrassment, but jealousy⦠That day, he had been angry not because she was with other men and making him look bad, but because he had become crazy jealous.
