Brother Sheng...

The scene of her promiscuous night with Gu Yusheng flashed across Qin Zhi’ai’s mind. She tightened her grip on her purse.

Wu Hao barely finished speaking when the door to the driver’s seat of Gu Yusheng’s car opened and Xiaowang stepped out. He greeted Xu Wennuan. “Miss Xu.” He then opened the backseat door and motioned Qin Zhi’ai to get inside the car. “Secretary Qin.”

Perhaps due to a guilty conscience, Qin Zhi’ai was slightly afraid to face Gu Yusheng but, in the presence of others, she didn’t want to reject Xiaowang and raise suspicion. Taking a deep breath, she muttered “see you later” to Xu Wennuan and walked toward Gu Yusheng’s car.

Wanting to ride in the passenger seat, Qin Zhi’ai acquiesced when Xiaowang had already opened the door to the backseat before she could say anything. As she got in the back, she greeted Gu Yusheng who was sitting next to her. “Master Gu.”

Gu Yusheng was leaning against the backrest with his eyes closed. Upon hearing her words, his mouth remained shut but he gave a faintly discernible reply without opening his eyes.

Xiaowang quickly got back in the car and stepped on the accelerator to keep with Wu Hao’s car.

Throughout the drive, Gu Yusheng never opened his eyes or said a word. He was as silent as a ghost.

Despite so, Qin Zhi’ai remained mildly nervous and it showed in her posture.

Through the rearview mirror, Xiaowang noticed her uneasiness, so half an hour into the drive, he struck up a conversation with her. “Secretary Qin, are you feeling better from your cold?”

“Much better.”

“It’s easy to catch a cold when winter is this chilled.”

“Yup. Two days ago, Secretary Zhang caught a cold, too.”

Xiaowang had no idea who that was, but he continued. “That’s why we should wear layers in the winter...”

.....

Qin Zhi’ai and Xiaowang continued chatting back and forth and, up to their arrival at the club, Gu Yusheng had not made a single sound.

The car stopped and without turning off the engines, Xiaowang stopped the car but kept the engine running. “Master Gu, we’ve arrived.”

“Mm,” Gu Yusheng replied. He gradually opened his eyes but didn’t budge.

Xiaowang got out of the car and went to open the door for Qin Zhi’ai to get out. When he got to Gu Yusheng’s door and opened it for him, Gu Yusheng bent his body and exited the car. Standing beside it, he was tidying his clothes when a gentle and clear voice rang out, “Yusheng.”

Qin Zhi’ai was just about to walk toward Xu Wennuan when she heard that voice and stopped. After slowly turning her head toward the voice, Liang Doukou, dressed in splendor and accompanied by Zhou Jing, was slowly walking straight to Gu Yusheng.

Gu Yusheng appeared to not have heard Liang Doukou’s voice. His expression remained the same until Liang Doukou was standing directly before him. “Miss Liang,” Xiaowang greeted her respectfully. Gu Yusheng stopped what he was doing, turned abruptly, and called out, “Secretary Qin.”

Qin Zhi’ai, already walking away, heard Gu Yusheng call her and stopped in her tracks.

Not waiting for her to walk back to him, Gu Yusheng strode toward her, ditching Liang Doukou behind.

He stopped before Qin Zhi’ai with one hand in his pocket and the other adjusting his tie. He slightly lowered his head and said nonchalantly, “After the end of today’s event with the celebrities, Xiaowang will be looking for you, so stay where you are.”
