Was she that anxious because of his presence? Gu Yusheng thought to himself.
Gu Yusheng had the image in his head of her applying medicine to his wound as she talked softly when he had been hurt.
He wanted them to be like this, but at this moment, he seemed to understand where his heart belonged. He didn’t like her treating him this way. He hoped she could speak as freely as she had when she talked to Lu Bancheng. When she had talked to him…
Gu Yusheng wasn’t sure what had happened to him, so he gave up thinking about it. He looked at Qin Zhi’ai and asked gently, “Why are you sitting here by yourself?”
Qin Zhi’ai didn’t know how long Gu Yusheng had been watching her. She didn’t want Gu Yusheng to know that after he left, she had hid herself here after excusing herself from those girls. She looked away and stared outside the window at the LED lights on the building across the street. She said calmly, “I got a phone call, and it’s quiet here.”
Gu Yusheng watched her for a long time. He knew she was lying. If it had happened before, he would have gotten mad. However, at this moment, he even believed her lie and played along. “Who called you?”
Qin Zhi’ai hadn’t expected Gu Yusheng to chat with her. She was a little nervous for a second before she calmed down and made up a name. “Zhou Jing called.”
“Oh,” Gu Yusheng said. After a while, he spoke to her again. “Do you have any work coming up?”
Qin Zhi’ai, again, hadn’t expected Gu Yusheng to continue their talk. She was shocked for a second, then answered him, “Yeah, I’m going to fly to Paris tomorrow at noon for a fas.h.i.+on show.”
Zhou Jing hadn’t just called her for that. In fact, this trip had been arranged a month ago. Qing Zhi’ai just happened to use it as an excuse.
“How long will you be gone?” Gu Yusheng didn’t really want to know the answer. He had taken her out only because he was worried she would get depressed at home by herself. He hadn’t expected her to be herself here anyway. He just wanted to chat with her.
He hasn’t shown any interest in my life or schedule. Why is he suddenly asking about it? Qin Zhi’ai thought to herself.
Qin Zhi’ai turned her head around in surprise and took a look at Gu Yusheng. Gu Yusheng looked calm. He didn’t have the angry and annoyed look on his face as he usually did. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. After a while, she answered him in a low pitch, “About a week.”
“That’s good.” Gu Yusheng seemed to tire of standing so long. He walked to the bay window and turned around to lean on the railing. He looked at Qin Zhi’ai and said, “France has a lot of good places to visit. You can stay few more days after you finish your work if you want.”
She might be in better mood after travelling for a bit, Gu Yusheng thought to himself.
Thinking this, Gu Yusheng remembered that Paris was a shopping heaven. He also remembered the talk between Master Yang and Master w.a.n.g when they were playing Mahjong. Gu Yusheng suddenly had an idea that he didn’t take any time to think about.
He took out his wallet from his pocket and picked a card out. As he was about to pa.s.s it to Qin Zhi’ai, he seemed to remember something and pulled the card back. He searched for a marker in his pocket and signed the back of the card, writing some numbers on it before he pa.s.sed it back to Qin Zhi’ai.
“Here’s a card for you. If you like anything you see in Paris, you can buy it with this card. The pa.s.scode is on the back of the card. Remember to change it.”
