So, he only called out my name to tell me what Xiaowang had already told me...
Qin Zhiâai, seemingly unconcerned, nodded and said, âIâve got it, Master Gu.â
Gu Yusheng raised his chin slightly to Wu Hao and Xu Wennuan, who had just gotten out of their car, and said, âThere are many people here who you wonât know, but stick with them and youâll be fine.
With a gentle smile, Qin Zhiâai replied, âHmm.â
Gu Yusheng didnât say another word. He didnât need to. He had been in a good mood all day, and seeing her smile he gave her a gentle smile back.
...
After Xu Wennuan and Qin Zhiâai had walked arm in arm and entered the clubhouse with Wu Hao and Lu Bancheng, Gu Yusheng turned around and looked at Liang Doukou, who was still standing from where she had called him.
Over the years, he had always had young, pretty secretaries around him, but he had never had an affair with any of them. Despite Liang Doukou always badgering him about this, she had never really paid attention to those women. But with Qin Zhiâai it has been different.
Liang Doukou was so obsessed with Qin Zhiâai that she would take Old Master Gu to Hui Shi simply to harass her and drive her away.
Am I overthinking it? Could Liang Doukou not really be trying to deliberately get rid of Qin Zhiâai?
Maybe she was really angry because Qin Zhiâai had spilled the coffee carelessly, and she had taken the opportunity to lose her temper. But thatâs not normal behavior so Iâm suspicious of her motives.
Assuming that Liang Doukou is really trying to drive Qin Zhiâai away, then the only explanation is that she is afraid of Qin Zhiâaiâs existence.
Why would she be afraid of Qin Zhiâai especially?
The only answer is that Qin Zhiâai is a tremendous threat to her.
In this world, only little troublemaker could make Liang Doukou feel threatened.
Because Liang Doukou knows that the only woman I love is little troublemaker.
This is why he had secretly given Qin Zhiâai an invitation to the Gu Company annual party, why he had Qin Zhiâai ride with him in his car, and why, when Liang Doukou had called him, he had let Qin Zhiâai stand beside him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He had done all these things deliberately, because he wanted Liang Doukou to see it herself.
Just now, for instance, he hadnât really said anything meaningful to his little secretary, but he had tilted his head slightly and smiled at her. His actions were intended to make Liang Doukou deliberately misunderstand that he and Qin Zhiâai were intimate.
If Liang Doukou really considers Qin Zhiâai a threat, the more intimate Iâll be with Qin Zhiâai, and the more panicky Liang Doukou will be. She could completely lose her temper and go as far as to find Qin Zhiâai.
Gu Yusheng finally turned away from Liang Doukou. He looked at Xiaowang and then entered the club, as if Liang Doukou wasnât there at all.
Xiaowang quickly said âgoodbyeâ to Liang Doukou and then followed Gu Yusheng inside.
......
This year, the annual Gu Company party was different from those of the past in that the style was Chinese rather than Western. This included seating assignments.
Gu Yusheng sat at the main table, with Old Master Gu, Liang Doukou, and Old Master Liang.
Qin Zhiâai, Xu Wennuan, and Wu Hao sat together at a table some distance from Gu Yushengâs table, while Lu Bancheng and Xiaowang sat next to the main table.
