Back Then, I Adored You

Gu Yusheng actually had been asleep, but minutes later, he had woken up again. He was merely unwilling to open his eyes. No one knew how long it had been before the housekeeper went upstairs and asked him to have a meal.

He slowly opened his eyes and kept lying on the sofa for a while, then he stood up and went downstairs.

After lunch, Gu Yusheng felt more sleepy, so he went back to the master bedroom. When Gu Yusheng looked for his pajamas in the closet, he habitually glanced at the second row of shelves. Knitting his pretty brows together, he drew back the hand that had reached out for the pajamas and walked towards the shelves.

Because he had earnestly hoped that little troublemaker would use the presents he gave her, almost every day, he would check the gift boxes that had been put there neatly by her.

But almost every day, when he checked them, they were the same as the day before.

But today, there were some differences. It was obvious that the presents he had given little troublemaker had been used.

Gu Yusheng pursed his lips slightly, reached for those boxes, and quickly checked them one by one. As expected, the Chanel gift box at the bottom was empty, and the limited new bag chosen carefully by him earlier wasn’t here.

Little troublemaker… has used those presents I gave her?

If he hadn’t discovered that little troublemaker wasn’t the real Liang Doukou, Gu Yusheng might have been very excited and delighted at this moment.

But now, facing the moment that he had expected for a long time, he wasn’t happy at all. On the contrary, there were unpleasant feelings in his chest, and and he was overwhelmed by a great sense of panic and uneasiness.

Gu Yusheng had stood still for a long time in the closet before he changed into pajamas and left the room.

He had felt sleepy just now, but now lying on the bed, he felt rather sleepless.

Somehow, he felt panic from the bottom of his heart, and his mind was incredibly unsettled, making him feel extremely disturbed.

No one knew how many times he had tossed and turned restlessly on his bed, but eventually he lay on his back, stared at the exquisite ceiling, and breathed deeply to calm himself down.

However, not only did it not work, in the end, his heartbeat was out of rhythm due to panic.

Anxiety and uneasiness made Gu Yusheng restless and unable to sleep any longer. He took off the quilt, got out of bed, sat on the sofa, and turned on the TV. To divert his attention, he played with the remote and pressed it for a long time, but he didn’t comprehend what images were flashing on the TV.

Finally, he threw the remote, stood up, and went to his study.

He had plenty of emails that hadn’t been dealt with these two days due to his injuries.

In the past, no matter what had happened, work had always let him forget about other matters for a while. But that day, he didn’t know what was wrong with him. When he turned on the computer, he saw the messages were densely packed with characters that looked like small tadpoles. After quite a while, he even didn’t know what their contents were about.

Gu Yusheng had forced himself to concentrate on his work many times, but he still failed to do so. A little fidgety, he turned off his computer and raised his wrist to check the time.

It was 4:00 pm… The housekeeper had told him that little troublemaker was going to come back to have dinner. He’d had lunch at two, so only two hours had passed since. However, it seemed like half a century had passed for him.

After sitting in his office chair for only a few minutes, Gu Yusheng stood up, disregarding the strange look from the housekeeper, and walked around the villa, from upstairs to downstairs and inside to outside.

He didn’t know how many steps he had taken. The day gradually darkened outside the window, and then came the familiar sound of a car from the gates of the villa.
