Back Then, I Adored You

“Okay,” Zhou Jing responded. She put down the script in her hand, got up, and walked away.

After about a minute, she walked back to the sofa with a glass and gently placed the cup in front of little troublemaker.

After playing on her phone for a while, the troublemaker got up and randomly put the phone on the sofa. Then she pointed to a Chanel bag that Zhou Jing was near and said, “Give me that bag.”

After Zhou Jing handed the bag to the troublemaker, she unzippered it. Rummaging through it for a while, she took out a white medicine bottle, unscrewed the bottle cap, and poured the medicine out.

Zhou Jing stopped in the middle of picking up a script and then turned around to ask her, “Are you sick?”

“No.” Liang Doukou shook her head, put the pill in her mouth, picked up a cup, and swallowed it.

“No? Then why are you taking medicine?” As Zhou Jing asked, she picked up the medicine bottle on the table. She stared at it for a while and turned her head while lowering her voice. “Contraceptives? Have you been taking contraceptives?”

Contraceptives? Gu Yusheng was holding his coffee cup and stopped the action of delivering it to his mouth. He stared at the screen of the cell phone. Zhou Jing took the bottle and looked at it for a while, then she recognized that it really was contraceptives.

Is it the bottle that was I threw away? So this video was taken before?

Liang Doukou didn’t speak a word. She put down the cup, leaned back on the sofa, picked up the phone, and played on it again.

Zhou Jing held the medicine bottle and sat down beside her. “Xiaokou, do you not want to have a child with Gu Yusheng?”

Liang Doukou slowly stopped playing on the cell phone. She turned her head and glanced at Zhou Jing. After a short while, she gently nodded and said, “I don’t.”

She doesn’t? Is it because I gave her the contraceptive pill after I slept with her for the first time that she responded to Zhou Jing like that?

Gu Yusheng wasn’t sure of his thought. The Liang Doukou in the video said again, “I will never bear a child of his.”

Her tone was so firm that Gu Yusheng’s blood seemed to solidify. Holding his cell phone, he stared at the screen without any movement.

The two people in the video were still talking. Their words clearly drilled into his ears.

Zhou Jing asked, “Why?”

Liang Doukou said, “No particular reason, because I don’t like him. I even feel disgusted when touching him. Why do you think I’ve been badgering him for so many years and wanted to marry him? Because I loved him? Oh, don’t kid! It’s just because he has the Gu Company, and he’s the most powerful patron among all the people I met. From the beginning to the end, what I wanted was not Gu Yusheng, but Mrs. Gu.”

The two people in the video were silent for a while, then Liang Doukou spoke again. “You know me. I’m only interested in my career.

“Actually, I never thought about getting close to him. I went to the company to find him and pretended to be gentle in front of him. It was just acting.

“But I don’t know what happened recently. He’s getting more and more protective of me. He even cut down Lin Yi’s role. But speaking of that, if it wasn’t for him meeting you in that Russian restaurant the other day, we would never have known that he was protecting me like that now. He’s never done anything like he did with the crew yesterday. In front of so many people, he made Lin Yi a warning to the others!”
