His words were like a basin of cold water poured on Qin Zhi 'ai mercilessly in a world of ice and snow.
Her body trembled violently, and her mind instantly went blank.
She had thought that when they had met two years ago, he had looked at her and asked others, "Who is she?" That had been bad enough. She hadn't expected that when they met again two years later, it would be even worse.
Standing behind the railing on the second floor, Qin Zhi 'ai had been staring at Gu Yusheng's back, but she hadn't seen how he had left.
She clearly felt that her chest was a little stuffy, and her heart had become extremely heavy. Every time it beat, it set off an unbearable pain in her body.
When Qin Zhi 'ai came back to herself, she could only hear the faint sound of Gu Yusheng's car starting up outside the house. She was afraid that the housekeeper would suddenly return to the house and see her in such a mess, so she hurriedly turned around and went back to the bedroom. After closing the door, Qin Zhi' ai realized that her eyes had been covered with a layer of mist.
Qin Zhi 'ai waited until the mist in her eyes had disappeared and her emotions had completely calmed down before she pretended to have just woken up and went downstairs again.
Seeing her, the housekeeper immediately stopped what he was doing. "Miss, you're awake?"
In fact, the housekeeper should have called her "Madam," but Gu Yusheng didn't allow it, so he could only call her "Miss."
Qin Zhi 'ai didn't mind. She calmly replied with a "hmm" and walked to the dining room.
In the past, when Qin Zhi 'ai was eating, the housekeeper would leave after taking the dishes, but today, the housekeeper stood by the table with the dishes.
Qin Zhi 'ai pretended that she hadn't noticed anything unusual and calmly ate her breakfast.
As she finished the porridge in her bowl, the housekeeper, who was standing not far away, began to hesitate. Several times, he moved his lips at Qin Zhi 'ai as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out when he opened his mouth.
Until Qin Zhi 'ai put down her chopsticks, the housekeeper finally bit the bullet and said, "Miss …"
"Is there any contraceptive pills at home?" Qin Zhi 'ai interrupted before the housekeeper could finish speaking.
She knew what the housekeeper was going to say next, but some words from the housekeeper's mouth would make her feel embarrassed and lose her dignity. Even though she knew the housekeeper knew how much Gu Yusheng disliked her, she still didn't want others to laugh at her in front of her.
Qin Zhi 'ai glanced at the housekeeper and added calmly, "If you have it, bring it to me."
When the housekeeper heard her words, he was obviously stunned. Then, without saying anything, he did as Qin Zhi 'ai asked.
Qin Zhi 'ai calmly swallowed the medicine in front of the housekeeper. Then she unhurriedly took a tissue to wipe the water from the corner of her mouth, stood up gracefully, and walked out of the dining room.
She had barely taken two steps when the butler behind her suddenly called out, "Miss …"
Qin Zhi 'ai stopped and turned around.
"Miss, Mr. Gu said that Old Master Gu will go to Hainan tonight …" The housekeeper hesitated for a few seconds before continuing, "Mr. Gu also said that your backer is gone, and that you shouldn't bother him for the time being."
She had thought that if she took the initiative to take the medicine, she would regain some of her dignity. She hadn't expected him to tell the housekeeper something else … Qin Zhi 'ai's fingertips trembled slightly, but her face was calm and unruffled, as if the housekeeper's words weren't directed at her. She asked lightly, "Is there anything else?"
