Somehow, at that moment, he found that her smile and her eyes were very familiar to him.
That sense of familiarity wasn’t from the present, but a feeling that was buried deeply in his memory.
It seemed that… long ago, he had seen that smile and eyes like those…
Thanks to the phone in his hand when a message came in, he was pulled back to reality.
He quickly turned his head and glanced at the road ahead, then looked at the screen of the phone. It was a reply from Lu Bancheng. “If you don’t, then why did you call me?”
Gu Yusheng wanted to put down his phone directly and ignore Lu Bancheng. After hesitating for a while, he typed on the screen, “It’s boring to just drive, so I was fooling around.”
After sending it, Gu Yusheng thought of Qin Zhi’ai’s gentle smile, and his heart became soft. He couldn’t help typing another couple of words. “To cheering up my little troublemaker.”
…
After seeing the two messages he had received consecutively, Lu Bancheng, who was far away in the United Kingdom to craft a wedding ring for Gu Yusheng, suddenly had the impulse to smash his phone!
How is driving too boring? Just fooling around? To cheer up his little troublemaker?
Public displays of affection? When I was in China, didn’t he display enough? Now that I’ve gone abroad, he still wants to show it to me?
This feeling is the f*cking worst.
…
Gu Yusheng’s phone was faced directly toward Qin Zhi’ai this whole time.
When she saw the words, “It’s boring to just drive, so I was fooling around,” Qin Zhi’ai felt a little bit speechless and couldn’t help feeling disgust for Gu Yusheng in her heart.
This person is really… he gave such a bad…
Before she could finish thinking the word “excuse,” the next message, “To cheer up my little troublemaker,” jumped into her view.
Qin Zhi’ai seemed to be frozen. Her whole body was suddenly as fixed as a painting, and even her breathing stopped.
After a while, she slowly came back to reality, then realized that her heartbeat was extremely fast, as if it would come out from her mouth.
She turned her head quickly and looked out of the window. She took several slow breaths, to slow down her heartbeat so it wasn’t as rapid.
To cheer up my little troublemaker… these six words are very simple… but warm… Qin Zhi’ai’s fingertips trembled slightly. In the fear that she would forget herself, she hurriedly continued speaking, restarting the topic that had been interrupted by Gu Yusheng’s grasp of the words “Lin Yi.”
“In the entertainment industry, I have Zhou Jing to help me. If I have any troubles, she’ll settle them for me. You don’t have to worry about it.”
She couldn’t voice the fact that he had been used by Zhou Jing. She wanted to persuade him not to be so stupid as to protect Liang Doukou in the future when he heard that there was a problem with her, but she didn’t know how to persuade him. Finally, after she thought about it again and again, she said, “But you should ask me first what’s going on, if a similar thing ever happens in the future. If it really was my fault, for example, I murdered someone or committed arson, what would you do?”
“What would I do?”
She just smiled in a way that made him comfortable.
That was probably the first time he had seen her smiling at him in such a lively way.
So after he listened to her words and began to speak to her, there was still a faint smile on his face, which made his whole self warm and elegant. “What can I do? In the worst case scenario, I would help you destroy the evidence.”
