Back Then, I Adored You

In addition, little troublemaker had been wronged many times by him. How could he let her continue to be wronged?

Even if his grandpa hadn’t reminded him, he still should have done certain things.

Things like proposing to her.

Things like telling her he loved her.

Things like telling her he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.

Gu Yusheng had planned his future life with his little troublemaker, and he felt good about it. He looked at the orange-tinted sun outside the window. He couldn’t help curling up his lips. He enjoyed the view outside of the window for a while before he returned to his desk.

Before turning off his computer, Gu Yusheng scanned the time at the bottom corner of the screen. It was ten after five, time to go home. He wasn’t sure if little troublemaker had finished her work and headed home yet.

Gu Yusheng closed his laptop and grabbed his car keys. He took out his phone and texted Liang Doukou before he left the office. “Are you done with work?”

Qin Zhi’ai had gone to Liang Doukou’s company in the afternoon, since she had to handle something. However, it was just an errand. She had mainly wanted to buy contraceptive pills.

She only had three days left before she left Gu Yusheng. Even though Gu Yusheng had told her not to take Plan B that morning, she still needed to take them. She couldn’t get pregnant. However, she didn’t dare to receive packages at home, either. She was afraid of the housekeeper noticing something suspicious and telling Gu Yusheng. If that happened, there would be too much trouble for her last three days.

She ordered the Plan B pills at a local pharmacy, because that pharmacy could deliver the package on the same day the order was placed. She left the pharmacy her company address.

The pills hadn’t arrived at her company yet when Gu Yusheng texted her. She needed to wait there longer. She stared at Gu Yusheng’s text and hesitated for a while before she responded with two words. “Not yet.”

After she put her cell phone down, Qin Zhi’ai was afraid that Gu Yusheng had something important to tell her. She picked up her phone again and sent him another text. “What’s up?”

She received a text from Gu Yusheng very quickly. “Nothing. How are you feeling?”

Gu Yusheng had shown his care for her after he saw her taking Plan B, which made Qin Zhi’ai a little emotional. She held her phone and typed carefully, “No, I felt better in the morning.”

Two minutes later, Gu Yusheng texted her back with, “Okay.”

How should I respond to ‘okay’? Should I text okay back, or would an emoji be better? Qin Zhi’ai thought to herself.

As Qin Zhi’ai was hesitating, another text came in. “When will you finish your work?”

Qin Zhi’ai clicked on the tracking for the package. It showed that it was out for delivery. She responded Gu Yusheng with a rough time estimate. “About an hour.”

“Got it,” Gu Yusheng texted back. After he texted Liang Doukou, he looked out the window.

He had just driven by a mall. An LED screen on the wall was showing a wedding ring commercial. The diamond ring on the female model glinted and shone brilliantly.

He had never been in a relationship or cared about getting married before. He had attended others’ weddings, though. He knew diamond rings were necessary for a couple in a committed relationship.

He thought it wouldn’t be fun to go home this early since little troublemaker wasn’t home yet. He decided to work on his plan.

Thinking this, Gu Yusheng turned the wheel, made a right turn at the intersection, and drove around the mall before he entered the underground parking lot.

After Gu Yusheng parked, he took out his phone and called Lu Bancheng. He didn’t get out of the car until he had completed the call with Lu Bancheng and walked into the elevator.
