Back Then, I Adored You

Lame Wang focused on the contract carefully, practically reading every page twice, for he was afraid to fall into a trap among the words.

Gu Yusheng wasn't in hurry at all. He leaned against the chair lazily, showing a sense of indifference. He didn't move except to raise his hand from time to time to take a drag of his cigarette.

After about ten minutes had passed, Lame Wang closed the contract and laughed at Gu Yusheng with satisfaction, "I've heard before that the staff in Mr. Gu's company were all elite. They really are. How could they draft such a logical and well-organized contract in such a short time? How admirable!"

Facing a compliment from Lame Wang, Gu Yusheng showed no reaction with a calm look.

Nevertheless, Lame Wang wasn't mad at his ignorance. He continued to read the contract, then put it on the table and pointed at an empty cup. The woman by his side immediately poured a cup of hot tea for him. He picked it up and drank the tea, then raised his chin toward the contract, continuing, "If there's no disagreement, let's just sign it!"

The woman, who was kneeling nearby to make tea, immediately knew what she had to do and passed the contract to Gu Yusheng.

Gu Yusheng still ignored his words. He raised his hand slowly with his eyes downcast to bring the cigarette to his mouth and leisurely inhaled. Then he slowly blew out a beautiful smoke ring. After the smoke from his nose had all faded away, he finally raised his eyes and took a glance at the contract on the table.

Seeing him not make any reaction, Lame Wang opened his mouth again. "Mr. Gu forgot to bring his pen here? Someone get a pen for Mr. Gu!"

"Yes," someone standing among the men in black responded. A golden pen was soon handed to Gu Yusheng.

"Mr. Gu, please." Lame Wang reached out his hand in a gesture of politeness.

Gu Yusheng remained silent and emotionless for a while, his eyes looking down. Then he crushed the cigarette stub and lifted his head to look at Lame Wang, saying, "Mr. Wang, you've forgotten something."

Lame Wang couldn't figure out the meaning of Gu Yusheng's words at first, so he was shocked. "Hmm?"

Gu Yusheng pressed his lips together and straightened his body. "Mr. Wang, you've already checked the 'goods,' now it's my turn."

Lame Wang finally understood what Gu Yusheng meant and said, "It turns out that you're afraid that Miss Liang isn't here?" While speaking, Lame Wang made a sign to the man on his left. "Take Miss Liang here!"

Qin Zhi'ai was led there with honor, indeed.

No more than a minute after the man in black had left, the door opened again. The man in black took one step forward, then stood by the door and bowed respectfully to Qin Zhi'ai, one hand reaching out. Then Qin Zhi'ai walked into the room calmly.

After Qin Zhi'ai had walked about three feet into the room, the two strong and large men following behind her stopped by the man in black who had been sent to get Qin Zhi'ai.

Next, the men in black who had been standing behind Lame Wang swiftly took several steps forward and stopped by the chair Gu Yusheng was sitting on, standing in between him and Qin Zhi'ai.

Lame Wang is afraid that I'll fight to take Qin Zhi'ai... So as long as I take action, she'll definitely be grabbed by the three men in black, Gu Yusheng observed the layout of the room secretly.
