Back Then, I Adored You

When the people of Lame Wang made it to the place where Qin Zhi’ai was being kept, she was terribly frightened.

Lame Wang said he would take my life if Gu Yusheng didn’t bring the contract in two hours, but only an hour and thirty-seven minutes have passed now, so Lame Wang is probably planning to kill me ahead of schedule.

Thinking that she would definitely die, Qin Zhi’ai walked into the room, but after the door was opened, she saw Gu Yusheng… whom she had never expected to come.

She thought that she must have gotten too dizzy and hallucinated, so she tried very hard to blink, and even pinched her palm secretly. When she felt the pain, she finally believed that the scene in front her was true.

Before she digested it fully, Gu Yusheng moved his eyes to her.

Uh-oh, she had caused such trouble, and he must have been ready to explode.

Frightened as she was, she immediately lowered her head and held her breath.

She had foreseen furious blame being thrown at her, but the man remained silent for a quite a long while. Her curiosity and confusion drove her to raise her head anxiously. The man was holding a pen and signing a piece of paper.

Qin Zhi’ai suddenly opened her eyes wide with shock, for the scene in front her was hard to believe.

He didn’t lose his temper, and he even signed the contract. Am I dreaming?

Before Qin Zhi’ai recovered from the shock of Gu Yusheng signing the contract, Gu Yusheng had already finished. He threw the pen on the table and leaned back in his chair.

Lame Wang immediately took the contract and checked the signature over and over again. After he had found no mistakes, he picked up the pen with a crafty smile and signed the contract as well.

It seemed that Gu Yusheng had already exhausted all his patience, for he stood up as soon as Lame Wang had finished signing, saying, “May I take her away?”

“Yes, of course.” With the focus on the land on the east of the city, Lame Wang didn’t make things hard for Gu Yusheng after he had achieved his goal. He just waved the black suited men out.

This time, Gu Yusheng had no patience left to respond to Lame Wang. He tidied his clothes a bit, then strode toward Qin Zhi’ai.

With him getting closer and closer to her, Qin Zhi’ai heart fluttered chaotically. When he was in front of her, her palm was already covered with sweat. She pulled the clothes on anxiously, holding her breath, for she had no idea what Gu Yusheng would do next.

However, the man just stood in front of her wordlessly for a while, then said in an unusually calm tone, “Let’s go.”

Let’s go? Did I hear that wrong?

Qin Zhi’ai lifted her head, surprised, to take a look at Gu Yusheng, then turned around in a hurry, walking toward the door.

Before she got any farther, her wrist was grasped abruptly by Gu Yusheng, and she was pulled back to him again.

Qin Zhi’ai’s heart suddenly jumped into her throat when he did that.

He must want to get even with me.

While Qin Zhi’ai was boiling with anxiety and fear, Gu Yusheng stretched out his hand to her.

Is, is he going to beat me?

Without thinking any further, Qin Zhi’ai took a step back and raised her hand to cover her face.

Gu Yusheng furrowed his eyebrows, put his hand on her head, and pulled her back to him again. Then he moved her head to the left and looked at her earlobe.
