Back Then, I Adored You

Sitting in the back seat, Gu Yusheng paused for a while and moved his eyes from the window to look at Xiaowang, who was sitting in the front, through the rearview mirror. He didn’t respond to him, but took a cigarette out, put it into his mouth, and lit it with his lighter.

He threw the lighter to the side and rolled down the window on his right side while he was blowing smoke rings outside the car. He couldn’t help moving his eyes to the direction he had been looking at before.

Nothing was there. The red BMW, which had just been parked there, had already been driven away.

He was not the first to see the car, but the driver, Xiaowang.

Several days ago, when he had come to see his grandfather, he had left a document there, but it was the material for a meeting that afternoon, so he had asked Xiaowang to drive to the Gu Mansion during his lunch break.

When he had just entered the villa, his grandfather looked at him in surprising, asking, “Xiaokou sent you a message, didn’t she tell you that she would take lunch to your company? Why did you come back?”

Hearing that, he was also very surprised. Then he remembered that he had blocked her phone number so he couldn’t receive her messages, so he put Old Master Gu off with a vague excuse, then took the document and left.

Since he already knew that Qin Zhi’ai had gone to his company, he asked Xianwang to take a detour in the opposite direction instead of driving directly back to the company. However, when they had driven halfway there, Xiaowang suddenly blurted out, “That’s Miss Liang!”

He raised his eyes instinctively and looked outside. As Xiaowang had said, Liang Doukou’s car was parked on the opposite side of the road.

He had meant to ignore her, but when he was about to set his sights elsewhere, he saw her through her windshield, sitting in her car and eating.

At that time, he hadn’t thought much of it and said, “Stop the car!”

Then he sat in the car, staring at her for more than two hours.

Grandfather said she had gone to the company to bring me lunch. Why did she eat it alone in her car and even wash the box? Why did she take a nap in the car after that instead of simply leaving?

“Mr. Gu?” Xiaowang called Gu Yusheng again. He probably thought that they had been there for too long.

Gu Yusheng blinked and stopped overthinking, then put a cigarette into his mouth, inhaled, and glanced back at the spot Qin Zhi’ai had just left.

She had headed towards the Gu Mansion… The lunch box belonged to the Gu Mansion… Was she going to return it?

Gu Yusheng dropped the cigarette ash into the ashtray, then looked at Xiaowang and said indifferently, “Turn around! Back to the Gu Mansion.”
