Gu Yusheng was obviously shocked. He turned around to look at Qin Zhi’ai.
She didn’t want to interrupt him while he was on the phone, so she pointed at the bowl and mimicked eating with her spoon.
Gu Yusheng didn’t move his eyes away from her, even after watching her for a while. He talked calmly on the phone as he ate slowly with the spoon.
Qin Zhi’ai lowered her head to eat her food. Gu Yusheng suddenly reached his hand out and tapped on the table in front of her after she had only gotten the chance to take two bites.
She looked up at him in confusion. He listened to the person on the phone but didn’t respond to him. He only put his empty bowl in front of her.
Qin Zhi’ai understood what he wanted. When she was ready to reach her hand out to the bowl to help him put more rice in it, the housekeeper, who had just finished baking dessert, walked out of the kitchen. When she saw this, she immediately walked over and whispered to Qin Zhi’ai, “Miss, I can do it.”
Gu Yusheng turned around and gave her a dirty look before the housekeeper finished talking. The housekeeper’s hands trembled out of scare. She immediately pulled her hand back from grabbing the bowl from Qin Zhi’ai.
Although the housekeeper didn’t fully know about Gu Yusheng’s temper, she could guess for the most part. She thought to herself, Mr. Gu wanted Miss to serve him more rice. The housekeeper immediately made up a lame excuse of stomach cramps in order to leave the dining room quickly.
Qin Zhi’ai served Gu Yusheng two bowls of rice and one bowl of soup before he called it the end of his dinner.
When the housekeeper cleaned up the dinner table, she thought to herself that Mr. Gu must have liked Qin Zhai’ai enough to let her help him with other stuff if he liked her enough to have her serve his dinner. Mr. Gu’s temper was not good, but he was actually pretty easy-going, as long as people did what he asked for. Everyone could have an easy life as long as Gu Yusheng was in a good mood.
When the housekeeper went to the kitchen to do the dishes, she saw Qin Zhi’ai standing up from her chair, ready to leave the dining room. She asked, “Miss, can you remind Mr. Gu to take his medicine and change the bandages on his wound?”
Qin Zhi’ai turned around to look at Gu Yusheng. He had hung up his phone call. Qin Zhi’ai didn’t turn down the housekeeper’s suggestion after hearing it.
Qin Zhi’ai nodded at the housekeeper and said, “I’ve got it.”
…
Gu Yusheng didn’t go back to the company until the st.i.tches were taken out.
Xiaow.a.n.g came to the house everyday. Every time he came, he carried a big stack of file folders with him and left with a big stack, too.
The housekeeper gave the tasks of serving Gu Yusheng’s dinner, reminding him to take his pills, and applying medicine on his wound to Qin Zhi’ai after that night.
The second day after Gu Yusheng was hurt, Qin Zhi’ai wanted to apply medicine on his wound, but he had an urgent meeting to go to, so he asked her to wait for a while.
After the meeting, it was already ten o’clock. Qin Zhi’ai was memorizing her lines for a show in the master bedroom. Gu Yusheng didn’t leave the bedroom after he walked in and changed the medicine for his wound.
Qin Zhi’ai was worried, since she had to help him a lot and sleep in the same bed as him. She was afraid of p.i.s.sing him off at some point.
For the past few days, he hadn’t initiated any conversations with her, nor had he touched her when they were in bed. It seemed that she was invisible to him. He was cold to her most of the time, but he never lost his temper at her.
One time, she spilled the coffee on his desk when she was asked to bring him a drink. She had ruined all the files he was reading, but he hadn’t gotten mad at her.
