Back Then, I Adored You

After the message was sent, Jiang Qianqian found a place where she could see Liang Doukou without being noticed and sat down. Then she called the waiter and ordered a few random dishes. As she waited for a reply, she held her cell phone and continued to take photos of Liang Doukou secretly.

Last time they had gone to a banquet, Gu Yusheng had protected her so carefully. She wanted to know whether Gu Yusheng would protect her after seeing these photos.

Thinking about this, a smug sneer formed on Jiang Qianqian's face.

For the first time in months, Gu Yusheng was relaxed that day.

Basically, after meeting a client at Wander Coffee at four o'clock in the afternoon, he had no other tasks to do.

After he said farewell to the client, Gu Yusheng didn't get in the car, but stood on the roadside. In the bright sunlight, he smoked half a cigarette and then stooped inside the car.

Xiaowang started the car. When they were on the road, he habitually asked, "Mr. Gu, are we going back to the company?"

It was still early at that time, and there were no other meetings. It seemed that he had to go back to the company... Gu Yusheng mumbled his affirmation coldly with his eyes closed.

After a while, he seemed to think of something else. He opened his eyes and said, "Go home!"

Xiaowang was stuck after hearing his words. Soon afterwards, he replied with "okay" and turned the car in another direction.

It was very quiet in the car, as there weren't so many vehicles on the road. Xiaowang drove very steadily. The lush and green leaves on the roadside flew over the windows from time to time, leaving a string of shadows.

Gu Yusheng closed his eyes, but didn't fall asleep. It occurred to him that the woman had returned from Paris and must have already arrived at home to rest...

Gu Yusheng didn't let Xiao Wang drive the car into the driveway. He got out at the door and ignored Xiao Wang's farewell, then he opened the half-closed European floral iron gate and walked in.

The courtyard was very quiet, and the lawn must have been trimmed that morning, because it was exceptionally neat.

It had rained the night before, so the temperature wasn't high. The cold wind blew over, making people feel a little more comfortable.

Gu Yusheng took a slow step and walked to the door of the house. He entered the password, pushed the door open, and went in.

The housekeeper was so busy with a task that she didn't come to welcome him, so he changed his shoes and looked around the living room. Seeing that nobody was there, he went upstairs.

The bedroom window was open. When Gu Yusheng opened the door, a sudden wind rushed at him.

The bed was a little messy, for it seemed that someone had slept in it. A suitcase was placed beside the bed, not unpacked yet.

She really did come back, but why isn't she in the bedroom?

Gu Yusheng went to the door of the bathroom. Not searching in depth, he exited the room and went to the sunroom where she liked to stay. It was still quiet and empty, but the flowers were bright and beautiful.

Could she be downstairs?

Gu Yusheng frowned, turned around, and went downstairs.

The housekeeper happened to come out from her bedroom right then. When she saw that Gu Yusheng was home, she felt like she was seeing an incredible picture. She said, "Mr. Gu, welcome back!"

Without saying a word, Gu Yusheng nodded and continued to glance around the living room, still not seeing Qin Zhi'ai. Finally, he asked the housekeeper, "Where is Miss Liang?"

"Miss Liang just left. She said that she was going to meet some friends."
