When his secretary left the office, he picked up the phone on the desk and called home.
It was the housekeeper who answered the phone. Gu Yusheng briefly informed her of his schedule, “I’m busy this evening, so I’ll be back home later… Well, don’t wait for me for dinner. Remember to tell this to Miss Liang.”
After he hung up, Gu Yusheng stared at the perfumes on the table. Then he stood up slowly and took some bottles of the perfume. He opened the lids one by one and smelled each one.
Gu Yusheng specially separated the perfumes with strong fragrances. Facing all the perfume on the table, he spent altogether more than half an hour picking up nearly 30 bottles of perfume. When he raised his wrist to look at the time on his watch, it was only eight o’clock in the evening. It seemed a little early to go home…
After stopping for a moment, Gu Yusheng took the document on the table and began to read.
When it was twenty past ten in the evening, Gu Yusheng finished the official business he had to deal with but hadn’t had time to spend on before. He massaged his neck, which was sore and painful because of the long time he had spent reading. Calculating the time in his head, he felt that it was time for him to prepare to go home.
Thinking this, Gu Yusheng closed the documents, picked up several bottles of perfume that he had chosen, and walked into the bathroom.
After messing with his stylish hair in the mirror, he opened the bottles of perfume and sprayed them on himself.
He was afraid that the smell wasn’t strong enough, so he deliberately sprayed each bottle several times. After he smelled strong enough to sneeze from the perfume, he collected them and walked out of the bathroom, then he went to the locker in the lounge, took a bottle of wine, and poured some liquid to sprinkle on his clothes.
The smell of perfume and wine mixed to create a scent that smelled like he had come back from a nightclub…
Tugging his shirt, he smelled it several times. As he cursed the awful smell in his heart, he picked up his car keys with satisfaction on his face. Then he proceeded to walk to the underground parking garage to drive home.
When the car was about to arrive at the door of the villa, Gu Yusheng felt that the smell on his clothes wasn’t strong enough. He slowed down the car and thought about it with his head tilting to one side. Then he lit a cigarette.
It was already eleven in the evening when he arrived at the villa.
Except for the lights on at the door, the entire villa was dark. Obviously, the housekeeper and Qin Zhi’ai had already gone to bed.
After Gu Yusheng parked his car, he went to the door and unlocked it with the passcode. He lowered his head to smell himself again to make sure there were no problems, then he pulled open the door, changed his shoes, and went upstairs.
Pushing open the door to the master bedroom, Gu Yusheng looked at Qin Zhi’ai lying on the bed using the dim light from the corridor.
There was no light in the room, save for a faint yellow light in front of her thaat was the screen of her cell phone.
She noticed that someone had come in, so she turned her head to look at the door, then gave him a gentle smile. “You’re back.”
Without speaking a word, Gu Yusheng nodded and walked directly into the bedroom.
He came to the bed and didn’t hurry to take a shower. Instead, he stood for a moment. Seeing Qin Zhi’ai had no change in expression, he pretended to look for something and walked around the bed.
Still no response? Don’t you smell the perfume pervading my clothes?
Gu Yusheng frowned secretly. As he quietly observed Qin Zhi’ai, he walked around the bed again. He also stopped in front of the bedside table closest to Qin Zhi’ai. He bent down to pick up a cup and put it down several times while facing the lamp.
