Back Then, I Adored You

Chapter 72: Deep Love and Heartbreaking Fate (2)

What Old Master Gu had said shocked Qin Zhi’ai like a flash of lightning, making her whole body shudder slightly. She didn’t have much time to think and immediately said, “It’s almost one, he must have already had lunch.”

“No, I know his habits at the company very well. He always has lunch after one, so you’ll have enough time to get there if you leave right now,” Old Master Gu smiled and said confidently to Qin Zhi’ai, then he shouted toward the kitchen and made the decision for her. “Xiaozhang, get the lunch packed, Xiaokou will take it to the company.”

“Grandfather…” Qin Zhi’ai still wanted to say something to dissuade Old Master Gu, but before she could start, Old Master Gu looked at her strangely and said in a doubtful tone, “You always come over, ask Xiaozhang to prepare lunch, then take it to Yusheng, but what’s going on today?”

Hearing that, Qin Zhi’ai felt like her heart had missed a beat, and she swallowed the words on her lips. It turned out that Liang Doukou had done this before, so it was no wonder that Old Master Gu had suddenly asked her to take lunch to Gu Yusheng.

In fear of being seen through by Old Master Gu, Qin Zhi’ai immediately put a bright smile on her face, and changed what she had just wanted to say. “No, I just wanted to say… Don’t forget to pack some pickles, Yusheng likes them very much.”

Hearing that, Old Master Gu’s serious face suddenly relaxed, and he asked Nanny Zhang to pack some pickles for her, pointing to the telephone next to the television and saying to the servant, “Call Yusheng and tell him that his wife will bring lunch to him…”

“Yes, Sir.” The servant walked toward the telephone.

Qin Zhi’ai had promised grandfather, but it didn’t mean that she would really take the food to Gu Yusheng… She still hadn’t calmed down because of Old Master Gu’s doubt. Suddenly, her nerves became extremely tense again, and she blurted out without any pause, “Wait!”

Old Master Gu and the servant all turned back and looked at Qin Zhi’ai with confusion.

When Qin Zhi’ai realized her overreaction, her brain went blank for a second, trying to come up with a scheme, and she said, “I want to tell him myself.”

Then she took her phone out and started to type a short message to Gu Yusheng.

Old Master Gu thought she wanted to use this opportunity to talk with Gu Yusheng, so he waved the servant back.

Qin Zhi’ai finally felt relieved. She pretended to type a message on her phone, then put it away, but she actually hadn’t sent anything at all.
