He must have been told by Zhang's mother that she was uncomfortable, and Grandpa asked him to come. If he found out that she was pretending to be ill, he would definitely think that she had used her tricks again to be alone with him... Logically speaking, he should have been furious, but why did he react so calmly?

  Qin Zhi Ai moved her eyebrows slightly, because she was hanging her head and didn't see Gu Yu Sheng's expression, so she couldn't quite grasp his thoughts. She hesitated for a moment, still gathering courage, and took a quick glance at him.

  The expression on his face was cold and indifferent, but it didn't have the same ferocity and anger as when he was alone with her before.

  Wasn't he just walking towards her after entering the house, without paying attention to her reaction at all, so he didn't see through her pretending to be ill? That's right... Just now she was too nervous and overthinking, Gu Yu Sheng disliked her so much that he hated to see her, how could he possibly stare at her?

  Thinking of this, Qin Zhi Ai secretly let out a breath of relief, her nervous and uneasy heart slightly calming down.

  Gu Yu put down the ginger tea and didn't say a word, nor did he leave.

  In Qin Zhi'ai's mind, even if she was really ill, Gu Yu Sheng would at most be constrained by his grandfather's face and put on a show. But today, he had already made the necessary appearances, so why hadn't he left yet?

  Qin Zhi'ai was once again upset by Gu Yu Sheng's unusual behavior.

  He didn't get angry and didn't leave... Could it be that Grandpa asked him to come up and accompany her?

  Qin Zhi thought about it and felt that this possibility was the greatest. She secretly took a deep breath, suppressed the tension and unease in her heart, raised her head, and calmly looked at Gu Yu Sheng: "Today is Grandpa's birthday, you go accompany Grandpa, I don't have anything..."

  Qin Zhi'ai's words were cut off as Gu Yu Sheng suddenly bent down, forcefully lifting the quilt and embracing her tightly.

  "Ah..." Qin Zhi Ai involuntarily cried out, wanting to call his name, but as soon as she called out one word, she remembered the last time she called his name and almost got strangled by him. She hastily changed her words: "...Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu!"

  Gu Yu didn't react to Qin Zhi'ai's exclamation at all, and expressionlessly carried her downstairs.

  After coming down the stairs, Gu Yu Sheng didn't see Old Man Gu and directly greeted Zhang Ma, saying he was taking his wife to the hospital. Then, without waiting for Zhang Ma's response, he carried Qin Zhi Ai out of the house in big strides.

  He walked up to the car and pushed Qin Zhi'ai inside before slamming the door shut.

  He got on the car, didn't even fasten his seatbelt, and directly stepped on the accelerator, turning the steering wheel, speeding away from the Gu's old mansion.

  ……

  Sitting in the car, Qin Zhi Ai gazed at the neon lights that were rapidly receding into the distance, and her heart inexplicably grew anxious.

  She didn't know if she was being too sensitive, but somehow she felt that there was something off about Gu Yu Sheng at this moment. She racked her brains for a long time, yet still couldn't figure out what exactly it was about him that seemed strange.
