Back Then, I Adored You

"You know, I shouldn't have attended some of those social activities. Those women like to wear all kinds of perfumes. Even if I don't get close to them, their smell still transfers to me from the air, and…" Gu Yushenng paused as he thought of Qin Zhi'ai, who had no response when she had smelled the perfume on him. He had asked the secretary to buy more lipsticks and put different lip prints in different colors on his shirt.

Am I looking for trouble for myself? It's easy to explain the perfume smell, but the lipstick prints could be a different story. I can't tell her I kissed myself, can I? It would be so embarrassing to do so, Gu Yusheng thought to himself.

Gu Yusheng had spent a lot of time searching for a reasonable explanation. It had actually happened to him before. He explained to Qin Zhi'ai, "Sometimes some women are very aggressive. They would throw themselves at me. That's why there were some lipstick prints on my shirt."

No matter how he explained, it still sounded a little unreasonable. Was I crazy? Why did I use lipstick? Gu Yusheng thought to himself.

Gu Yusheng closed his eyes. He was upset and swallowed his saliva. He said, "If you don't like it, I won't go to those social activities too often."

Qin Zhi'ai hadn't thought too much at the beginning when she listened to Gu Yusheng's explanation. However, by the end, she suddenly had a feeling that Gu Yusheng didn't want her to misunderstand him, as he was her real husband. It sounded like he was explaining and promising to his wife.

Her heart seemed to be struck by something and she became very emotional.

Gu Yusheng has never treated Liang Doukou as his wife. If my feelings are right, Gu Yusheng worried that my version of Liang Doukou would misunderstand him. Does that mean Gu Yusheng cares about me? Qin Zhi'ai thought to herself.

She had been thinking about this possibility, but she couldn't confront Gu Yusheng and ask him.

He had married Liang Doukou. Her love to him could not be continued.

She couldn't be immoral enough to get in between his marriage. Even if he didn't love Liang Doukou, she could not insert herself between the two of them.

Qin Zhi'ai only said "okay" to Gu Yusheng's long explanation. She reached her hands out and held him by his waist.

Her intimate move made Gu Yusheng very happy. He couldn't help kissing her.

Qin Zhi'ai hesitated for a second before she moved her hands from his waist to his neck. She pressed his neck down a bit to return his kisses.

Even if he thought of her as Liang Doukou, and would never know she was Qin Zhi'ai, it would be all right for her. She wanted to throw herself into their love before she left. She wanted to create a beautiful ending with him.

She wanted to leave herself with beautiful memories of them.

…

Qin Zhi'ai had no makeup on. She had woken up super early and hid herself in the shower. It took her over an hour to put on the necessary makeup. Gu Yusheng didn't wake up until after Qin Zhi'ai had finished her makeup.

…

Gu Yusheng left the house at nine o'clock. He suddenly remembered he had left a file at home when he had already drove halfway to the company. Xiaowang had to drive him back home.

The housekeeper hadn't come yet. There was nobody in the living room.

Gu Yusheng went upstairs to pick up the file. He turned to the master bedroom before he left.

There was no one in the room.

Gu Yusheng frowned. He wondered where tittle troublemaker had gone, if maybe she was in a different room.

Gu Yusheng subconsciously wanted to look for her. He heard a vomiting noise from the bathroom before he turned around to leave.
