Xiaowang answered, “Of course.” Just as he was leaving, Gu Yusheng called out, “Wait a minute.”

Xiaowang turned and asked, “Master Gu?”

“Xiaowang, find Xiao’ai and have her come over here. I’m attending another dinner party, and I want her to accompany me.”

As Qin Zhi’ai was Gu Yusheng’s secretary, Xiaowang thought nothing of this request. He nodded as he went to get Qin Zhi’ai.

When he found her, he whispered in her ear. Qin Zhi’ai stood up quickly and walked astutely to Gu Yusheng. “Master Gu, you called me?”

Gu Yusheng silently nodded. He had just taken two drinks from a waiter’s tray and handed her the drink with the least alcohol. He then pointed, indicating to her to follow him. After walking away from the crowd, Gu Yusheng tilted his head to get close to Qin Zhi’ai and explained to her in a low voice, “Xiaowang has something else to deal with, so I want you to go with me tonight.”

Socializing in business settings was part of her job as his secretary, so the invitation to this additional event was not unusual. She raised her head and responded, “Yes, Master Gu.”

……

Liang Doukou had fixed her gaze on Gu Yusheng and Qin Zhi’ai this entire time. In her eyes, their conversation looked like romantic whispers.

As she watched, Liang Doukou continued to smile naturally and she leisurely held her goblet but, in fact, she was filled with resentment.

Xiao’ai. And just a few days ago he was calling her “Secretary Qin.” In such a short time, he’s calling this substitute “Xiao’ai”?

Moreover, how is she even attending this annual company event that even some of our vice managers aren’t even qualified to attend? She should be a humbler intern… and not be riding in his car with him to get here…

Liang Doukou watched as a waiter carrying hot soup was approaching Gu Yusheng and Qin Zhi’ai. Gu Yusheng stretched out his hand to pull her aside and then stood in front of her.

In the eyes of others, his subtle behavior was nothing more than the act of a true gentleman. Liang Doukou, though, already knew the girl he loves is Qin Zhi’ai, so to her his gestures were those of love and dedication.

Liang Doukou became so jealous that she was beyond being able to calm herself down. She began icily staring at Gu Yusheng and Qin Zhi’ai.

Eight years ago, she attracted Gu Yusheng’s attention.

Eight years later, she was only my body double, yet Gu Yusheng still fell in love with her.

Zhou Jing strategically helped me to drive her away from Gu Yusheng. And accidentally, they met each other again.

Liang Doukou had secretly investigated Qin Zhi’ai after she had left her service, so she had known that Qin Zhi’ai had submitted a resume to Hui Shi before Gu Yusheng even had purchased the company.

She didn’t know, however, if Gu Yusheng had purchased Hui Shi because Qin Zhi’ai wanted to work there, but she was sure that he had chosen her to be his secretary because he was in love with her.

Three times… Three damn times. As long as she keeps appearing, Yusheng will keep being drawn to her.

If she continues to work for Yusheng, he’ll eventually realize that Qin Zhi’ai is exactly the girl he had loved…

Things can’t go on like this. I can’t just wait and do nothing. I need to find a way to get her away from Yusheng.

As Liang Doukou stared, Gu Yusheng, talking with a circle of people around him, suddenly took away Qin Zhi’ai’s drink, said something to the others, and drank the rest of it.
