He remembered that he had reminded her several times to buy whatever she wanted in France before she left.
She had agreed, but she hadn’t bought anything with his debit card.
Gu Yusheng suddenly felt bad. He couldn’t help gripping the bank document harder.
In fact, he had been looking down on guys who bought things for women to win their hearts. He had thought it wasn’t real love. He hadn’t understood men wanting to spend money on their women once they fell in love with them until this moment.
He had been unsure of when it became a natural response for men to spend money on their women. It had became a sign of close relationships.
However, the little troublemaker took my card and didn’t spend a penny. What does that mean? Gu Yusheng thought to himself.
“Mr. Gu, is there something wrong with that bank detail?” Xiaowang asked, standing next to Gu Yusheng. He couldn’t help asking that question after he saw Gu Yusheng staring at the bank detail with a poker face, not saying anything.
Gu Yusheng stopped staring at it and put the bank detail back in his folder. He responded without any emotion, “Nothing’s wrong.”
Gu Yuhsheng thought of the scene of Qin Zhi’ai rushing downstairs and calling out “baby is hungry” at the housekeeper. He tossed the file on the coffee table and asked Xiaowang, “Anything else?”
“No,” Xiaowang answered. He saw it was time to leave so he said, “Mr. Gu, I’m going to head out if you don’t have any further instructions for me.”
Gu Yusheng didn’t say anything. He only nodded at Xiaowang.
Thirty seconds after Xiaowang left, Gu Yusheng picked up the file on the coffee table and walked upstairs. He went into the study first and tossed the files on the desk before he went to the master bedroom. He didn’t walk to the master bedroom. Instead, he only stood outside and knocked on the door.
As Qin Zhi’ai called out “coming,” she rushed to the door. She thought it was the housekeeper knocking at the door. She called out before she opened the door, “Is dinner ready?”
She saw Gu Yusheng leaning against the wall at the door.
Qin Zhi’ai suddenly remembered him calling her “baby” three times downstairs. Her face bexame red immediately.
Gu Yusheng could not help playing with her when he saw her acting so cute. He answered her question in a very relaxing tone. “Yes, baby.”
She didn’t know how to respond to Gu Yusheng, so she decided to ignore him. She walked past him and went downstairs.
Gu Yusheng slowly straightened his body and followed her downstairs with a casual pace.
Qin Zhi’ai ran down the stairs faster. When she walked to the dining room, she slipped.
“Careful!” Gu Yusheng skipped a step and returned to the casual pace after he saw her steady herself. He seemed to enjoy playing with her. He called again, “Baby.”
Qin Zhi’ai had just steadied herself, but stumbled again after hearing him call her baby. She lost one of her slippers.
“Slow down, ba—” Gu Yusheng said.
Qin Zhi’ai had been about to pick up the slipper she lost and put it on when she heard him start to call her baby.
Qin Zhi’ai’s hand trembled and failed to put the slipper on. She felt frustrated as she looked up. She didn’t think at all before she threw the slipper at Gu Yusheng’s face.
