Gu Yu's strength was a bit too much, and Qin Zhi'ai was flung backward several steps until she collided with the advertisement board by the street, only then did she stop.

  The advertisement board was made of especially hard metal and hit Qin Zhi Ai's back, causing her to feel a sharp pain, and tears almost burst out.

  She closed her eyes and took several deep breaths, sticking to the advertisement column and stiffening her body for a long time before the pain finally subsided.

  She slowly straightened up, walked slowly to the side of the road, and Gu Yu Sheng's car had long since disappeared from view. There were only vehicles of different shapes and colors, flashing red lights, speeding by on the street in front of her at varying speeds.

  For some reason, Qin Zhi suddenly thought of tonight at the Gu family's old house for dinner, Gu Yusheng helped her pull out the chair, carefully served her favorite dishes, personally filled her favorite soup, and even when she was eating fish, he picked out the fish bones that were about to enter her mouth.

  He's perfect, a good husband who spoils his wife rotten, and the grandfather who dotes on her so much that he wants to spend the rest of his days with her in peace and quiet, not to mention how happy he is.

  Seeing her grandfather happy, the servants in the old house of Gu's family were also happy. She had a smile on her face all the time, looking happy and contented, but nobody knew that she was tortured by her heart for the whole night.

  She knew he was just pretending.

  But even though she knew he was just acting, her heart still skipped a beat when he pretended to be nice to her.

  Because she likes him.

  She had liked him for a long time.

  Even two years ago, when he and she finally met, he didn't remember her, but she still liked him.

  So even though she knew in her heart that his kindness was fake, she couldn't help but feel her heartbeat speed up and her face turn red with embarrassment.

  She was afraid of showing herself too clearly, revealing her thoughts. All night, she could only torture herself with repeated reminders: he and she were just acting.

  -

  Qin Zhi Ai didn't know how long she had been standing on the side of the road in a daze, until she hailed a taxi and returned home, it was already approaching 11 o'clock at night.

  The living room lights were shining brightly, Qin Zhi'ai thought it was the housekeeper who hadn't slept yet, and without thinking much, she entered the password and opened the door to enter the house.

  The people in the house probably heard the noise and came to greet her. Qin Zhi'ai still thought it was the butler, didn't raise her eyes to look at the source of the sound, and directly lowered her head to change her shoes. When she had changed halfway, the person who came to greet her spoke up: "Young Madam, you're back?"

  Qin Zhi Ai suddenly stopped her action of changing shoes, froze for a moment, and then looked towards the person who came. The person she welcomed was not the butler, but Zhang Ma from the old Gu residence.

  Qin Zhi'ai's doubts hadn't even been voiced when Zhang Ma already gave her the answer to why she was here: "Young Madam, you dropped your bracelet in the bathroom while eating at the old house."

  As she spoke, Zhang's mother took out a delicate and beautiful pearl bracelet and handed it to Qin Zhi'ai.

  Taking the bracelet, Qin Zhi Ai only then remembered that she had gone to wash her hands before dinner and had taken it off because she found it inconvenient. Later, because Gu Yu Sheng called her to eat, she forgot to put it back on after washing her hands: "A single bracelet, I can give it to you when we go to the old house another day, why bother running a trip in the middle of the night."
