Back Then, I Adored You

He had married Liang Doukou, but never acknowledged her as his wife. He had never bought her a wedding ring, but he had now.

If he hadn’t come to know that he he had played a role in the drama with Lin Yi the day before and caught her taking birth control pills, he would have given her that ring.

This meant that he was getting ready to propose to Liang Doukou.

Was he doing this to have a baby with her or to actually accept her as his wife?

No matter what his answer was to that question, it showed that he wasn’t as opposed to the idea of her as his wife as he had been before, when Liang Doukou had just moved into his house.

Had he changed because of her, because of Liang Doukou’s body double?

To confirm it, Qin Zhi’ai opened the gift box again and took the diamond ring out.

Gu Yusheng had given Liang Doukou many gifts, but she had either never even opened the boxes or simply hadn’t worn any of them.

This would be the first time…

She put the beautiful diamond ring on her ring finger. It was exactly the right size for her. It seemed like it had been custom made for her.

She looked extremely similar to Liang Doukou. They looked almost identical to each other after makeup. Faces could be changed due to accidents or plastic surgeries, but their bone structure couldn’t be changed.

Her fingers weren’t the same size as Liang Doukou’s, which meant that Gu Yusheng had custom made the ring using Qin Zhi’ai’s size.

Qin Zhi’ai felt like she was on an emotional rollercoaster.

She laid on the bed and stared at the diamond ring on her finger. The images of her and him flashed in her head like a movie.

He had given her his debit card, gone to Paris to give her a birthday gift, fixed the necklace Qin Jiayan had given her, stopped her from taking birth control pills, put off his work to come to the studio to help her, and told Lin Yi off.

He had also gone to the movies with her. He had said to her, “Little troublemaker, let’s have a baby.” He had also said, “I didn’t know you well before, but we have the rest of our lives ahead of us to do just that.”

He had asked the housekeeper to call her Mrs. Gu. He had been so mad the day before, but he clearly still cared about her.

She wasn’t stupid. She had noticed that he had changed. She became emotional when he cared for her.

It wasn’t that she had never thought he had changed because of her version of Liang Doukou.

That idea had only flashed in her head. When she was younger, she had thought too much about the care he showed her, and she had only felt sad and desperate at the end.

She didn’t have the courage to think that way. She didn’t dare to overthink things again.

The ring she had found in the grass by accident made her sure about her doubts. Gu Yusheng had changed his opinion of Liang Doukou because of her.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhi’ai’s lips trembled. She wasn’t sure if it was because she was too excited or too content.

She thought that Gu Yusheng must have cared about her, otherwise he wouldn’t have changed so much.

She would be leaving him the next day. Should she switch back with Liang Doukou without letting him know?

This question flashed in Qin Zhi’ai’s head, and she sprang up from the bed.

No, she needed to see Gu Yusheng.

She needed right now, immediately, to find him.

She wanted to ask him, “Gu Yusheng, do you like me?” This was the question she’d had for eight years.
