Xiaowang answered, âOf course.â Just as he was leaving, Gu Yusheng called out, âWait a minute.â
Xiaowang turned and asked, âMaster Gu?â
âXiaowang, find Xiaoâai and have her come over here. Iâm attending another dinner party, and I want her to accompany me.â
As Qin Zhiâai was Gu Yushengâs secretary, Xiaowang thought nothing of this request. He nodded as he went to get Qin Zhiâai.
When he found her, he whispered in her ear. Qin Zhiâai stood up quickly and walked astutely to Gu Yusheng. âMaster Gu, you called me?â
Gu Yusheng silently nodded. He had just taken two drinks from a waiterâs tray and handed her the drink with the least alcohol. He then pointed, indicating to her to follow him. After walking away from the crowd, Gu Yusheng tilted his head to get close to Qin Zhiâai and explained to her in a low voice, âXiaowang has something else to deal with, so I want you to go with me tonight.â
Socializing in business settings was part of her job as his secretary, so the invitation to this additional event was not unusual. She raised her head and responded, âYes, Master Gu.â
......
Liang Doukou had fixed her gaze on Gu Yusheng and Qin Zhiâai this entire time. In her eyes, their conversation looked like romantic whispers.
As she watched, Liang Doukou continued to smile naturally and she leisurely held her goblet but, in fact, she was filled with resentment.
Xiaoâai. And just a few days ago he was calling her âSecretary Qin.â In such a short time, heâs calling this substitute âXiaoâaiâ?
Moreover, how is she even attending this annual company event that even some of our vice managers arenât even qualified to attend? She should be a humbler intern... and not be riding in his car with him to get here...
Liang Doukou watched as a waiter carrying hot soup was approaching Gu Yusheng and Qin Zhiâai. Gu Yusheng stretched out his hand to pull her aside and then stood in front of her.
In the eyes of others, his subtle behavior was nothing more than the act of a true gentleman. Liang Doukou, though, already knew the girl he loves is Qin Zhiâai, so to her his gestures were those of love and dedication.
Liang Doukou became so jealous that she was beyond being able to calm herself down. She began icily staring at Gu Yusheng and Qin Zhiâai.
Eight years ago, she attracted Gu Yushengâs attention.
Eight years later, she was only my body double, yet Gu Yusheng still fell in love with her.
Zhou Jing strategically helped me to drive her away from Gu Yusheng. And accidentally, they met each other again.
Liang Doukou had secretly investigated Qin Zhiâai after she had left her service, so she had known that Qin Zhiâai had submitted a resume to Hui Shi before Gu Yusheng even had purchased the company.
She didnât know, however, if Gu Yusheng had purchased Hui Shi because Qin Zhiâai wanted to work there, but she was sure that he had chosen her to be his secretary because he was in love with her.
Three times... Three damn times. As long as she keeps appearing, Yusheng will keep being drawn to her.
If she continues to work for Yusheng, heâll eventually realize that Qin Zhiâai is exactly the girl he had loved...
Things canât go on like this. I canât just wait and do nothing. I need to find a way to get her away from Yusheng.
As Liang Doukou stared, Gu Yusheng, talking with a circle of people around him, suddenly took away Qin Zhiâaiâs drink, said something to the others, and drank the rest of it.
