Qin Zhi'ai's body stiffened instinctively, and after a short while, she moved her lips slightly, wanting to greet him, but then thought that he would be eager to sever their relationship cleanly, and might not appreciate her greeting. She lowered her eyelids slightly, covering up the dullness in her eyes, and dismissed the idea of greeting him again.

  Qin Zhi Ai stood silently at the door and never entered the house.

  Gu Yu Sheng also never had the intention of speaking.

  The whole room was silent and still.

  Gradually, Qin Zhi'ai felt that she couldn't hold on any longer, and her tense palms were covered with a layer of sweat.

  She secretly gritted her teeth, thought for a long time, and finally came up with an excuse. She raised her eyelids, just about to speak to Gu Yu Sheng, when Gu Yu Sheng, who had been silent for just as long as she was, suddenly waved at her: "You come over here."

  It seemed that in the more than three months since she moved into his house, this was the first time he had taken the initiative to talk to her calmly... Qin Zhi looked at Gu Yusheng with a surprised and pleased expression, then withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyelids, paused for a moment at the door, before stepping inside slowly.

  The closer they got to their destination, the thicker the smoke smell became, and Qin Zhi Ai grew increasingly uneasy.

  She still didn't have the courage to get too close to him, and stopped more than a meter away.

  Gu Yu Sheng bit his cigarette, glanced at Qin Zhi Ai, then paused for a moment before pulling out an envelope from his pocket and handing it to her.

  Qin Zhi Ai looked at Gu Yu Sheng with some confusion, but he didn't seem to want to explain anything. She stretched out her hand and took the envelope from him. Lowering her head, she slightly opened the envelope and saw a thick stack of cash inside.

  What did he give her money for?

  Just as Qin Zhi'ai was staring blankly at the money in the envelope, the housekeeper came upstairs, knocked on the door, and broke the silence in the room: "Mr. Gu, Miss, dinner is ready."

  "Uh-huh." Gu Yu Sheng responded with a nod, gesturing for the housekeeper to leave first. He then slightly raised his head and glanced at the girl who was staring blankly at the envelope. After a brief pause, he extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray, stood up, and gave her a faint explanation: "That money is for medical expenses."

  Then, regardless of whether she heard it clearly or not, he went around her and went downstairs.

  That money was for medical expenses... These few words spun around in Qin Zhi'ai's mind, and she instantly remembered the things he said on the phone the day after the car accident: "How much did I spend on medical expenses yesterday? I'll have my secretary send it to her, so I won't owe her anything, and she can't use that as an excuse to pester me."

  So he took the initiative to speak to her in a normal tone for the first time, just to resolve the only entanglement between them.

  But did he know that? That night, she didn't save him as Liang Doukou, but as Qin Zhi'ai, the one who had been stood up by him twice and was forgotten, yet still couldn't forget him for eight years.
