With food in his mouth, he mumbled unclearly, “Eat!”
Qin Zhi’ai sat there, pressing her lips together and staring at the fish in the bowl, then picked up her spoon after some time.
Seeing that, the housekeeper standing by secretly sighed in relief.
Qin Zhi’ai pushed the fish aside with the spoon and took a spoonful of the porridge beneath. She ate very little of it, then put the bowl down, saying, “I’m full.”
Gu Yusheng had become almost delighted upon seeing her eating, but when he heard what Qin Zhi’ai had said, he furrowed his eyebrows and turned his head to look at her bowl.
The fish that he had chosen for her was still sitting there untouched, and the porridge was mostly intact, like it hadn’t been eaten at all.
I told her to at least eat something, so she really ate the least she could have.
So is she fighting me? I’ve already done something nice for her, but she just doesn’t appreciate it. Does she even want more?
Gu Yusheng’s face suddenly turned cold, saying in a low voice with exceptional force, “Eat it all!”
Qin Zhi’ai remained sitting on the chair with no intention of eating.
Although Gu Yusheng was no longer talking, the housekeeper could still feel the violent anger brewing behind his emotionless face.
The quarrel that didn’t happen upstairs is going to happen now.
The housekeeper rifled through her brain quickly, then hurried to say, “Miss, do you not want to eat porridge? Then what do you want? Tell me, I’ll cook it for you!”
“No need! If she doesn’t want to eat, don’t give her anything, and let her suffer from hunger! From now on, don’t give her anything!” Gu Yusheng suddenly threw down his chopsticks, staring at Qin Zhi’ai’s profile and sneering, but said to the housekeeper, “Do you really think that she just doesn’t want porridge? She’s fighting me! Because I was nice to her, she forgot who she was! She really thinks of herself as the big boss!”
The more Gu Yusheng said, the angrier he became. I must be insane. I just told her to eat something for the sake of her health when I heard she didn’t want to eat. Then what? I just got myself insulted! She didn’t even appreciate it!
In my whole life, I have never done that for a woman. I even chose to endure when she showed her anger to me. And I even carried her downstairs…
Thinking of these events, Gu Yusheng gradually worked himself into a fury. He turned his head, gritted his teeth, and to Qin Zhi’ai, who was sitting by the table wordlessly, yelled, “Aren’t you full now? Why are you still sitting here? Get out now!”
Qin Zhi’ai remained silent and stood up without hesitation upon hearing his words, walking out of the dinning room to the stairs.
Gu Yusheng was even more furious seeing her turn her back. He picked up his chopsticks, ate some dishes, and suddenly slammed the bowl and the chopsticks on the table with all his strength. To Qin Zhi’ai, who had already made it to the stairs, he said with a storm of anger, “Did I tell you to go upstairs? Get out of my house! Whenever I see you, I get angry. So don’t stay in my house, and don’t irritate me!”
Miss Liang is wearing pajamas, with no purse or phone on her, does Mr. Gu really want to drive her out like this?
The housekeeper started worrying all of sudden, and persuaded him, “Mr. Gu, Miss Liang has already realized her wrongdoings. Don’t be angry with her…”
As the housekeeper spoke, she made eye contact to Qin Zhi’ai, signalling for her to coax Gu Yusheng.
But Qin Zhi’ai ignored the housekeeper deliberately. She stood by the stairs and took a glance at Gu Yusheng, then directly turned around and walked to the hallway without a word.
