Back Then, I Adored You

“Too much?” Zhou Jing curled her lips and snorted. She pulled her hand off the door handle and walked toward Qin Zhi’ai in her high heels. She leaned so she was at Qin Zhi’ai’s ear and whispered, “Are you talking to me right now as Liang Doukou or Qin Zhi’ai?

“You’re right. I made that phone call. I set Lin Yi up. So what? Xiaokou and Gu Yusheng are married. What’s wrong with letting people know that Xiaokou can rely on Gu Yusheng?” Zhou Jing said.

Right, there was nothing wrong with that. They were married.

Qin Zhi’ai was unhappy that she was being used, but Zhou Jing’s explanation made that feeling disappear in a second.

She was just an outsider. She was only paid to be a body double. She was in no position to state her opinions.

Qin Zhi’ai narrowed her lips and didn’t say a word.

Zhou Jing curled her lips and smiled. She spoke even more harshly and coldly than before. “Miss Qin, don’t forget the deal between us. I haven’t given you the last check yet. Keep in mind, the last check is worth half of the debt you owe. Besides, don’t forget who helped you with your debts all this time. Without me, they wouldn’t have agreed to let you pay back your debt monthly. To be honest with you, I wouldn’t have agreed to pay you monthly if I wasn’t worried about something possibly going wrong or matters like that. You’d better not be plotting something against us. If I could stop loan sharks from bothering your mother and brother, I can also point them towards you now. If you don’t want your mother and brother to be chased after every day, you’d better behave.”

After the long talk, Zhou Jing straightened her back. She pretended nothing had happened and gave Qin Zhi’ai a bright smile. “Oh, I forgot to tell you that Xiaokou will switch with you on the twelfth. You need to get ready in the next two days.”

After their talk, Zhou Jing turned around walked to the door in her high heels. As she pulled the door open, she seemed to think of something else and turned around to give Qin Zhi’ai a big smile.

She didn’t close the door behind her. In about half a minute, Qin Zhi’ai heard Zhou Jing politely greet Gu Yusheng with a “Master Gu.”

Qin Zhi’ai heard footsteps coming towards her.

She was familiar with those footsteps. It had to be Gu Yusheng.

Qin Zhi’ai immediately looked down and took two long, deep breaths.

Before she calmed herself down, Gu Yusheng had already made it to the door. “Are you ready?”

“Yes,” Qin Zhi’ai responded to Gu Yusheng with her head down. She took another long and deep breath before she looked up. She grabbed her purse and walked to Gu Yusheng.

After they got into the car, Gu Yusheng fastened Qin Zhi’ai’s seatbelt for her first before he started the car. As he turned the steering wheel, he asked, “Are we going home?”

“Yes.” Qin Zhi’ai nodded.

Gu Yusheng wasn’t against that idea. With his excellent driving skills, he drove them to the house.

Although it hadn’t been long, Gu Yusheng’s cell phone rang. The traffic was bad, so he drove fast at times and slowed down at others. Gu Yusheng watched the road ahead of him and reached his hand down to search for his phone.

After feeling around, he still couldn’t find it. Qin Zhi’ai helped him find his phone and passed it to him. She hadn’t intended to check it, but she saw it was a call from his secretary.
