Qin Zhi 'ai raised her head subconsciously and saw Gu Yusheng walking down the steps in front of the house.
He didn't respond to the housekeeper's farewell. He lowered his head and fumbled for a cigarette in his cigarette case.
He put the cigarette in his mouth and bit it. When he lit it with a lighter, he found her in the yard.
He paused in the act of lighting the cigarette for a moment. The next second, he put the lighter and the cigarette back into the pack. His expression was normal as he walked forward calmly.
Seeing that he didn't stop, Qin Zhi 'ai slowed down and continued walking as if nothing had happened.
The two of them got closer and closer. Just as they were about to bump into each other, he stopped in his tracks and stared at the thin skirt she was wearing. He furrowed his brows and suddenly said, "It's autumn now. It's cold in the morning and night. Why did you go out for a walk wearing so little?"
Qin Zhi 'ai stopped when she heard what he said. She looked up at the housekeeper, thinking that she must have told him that she went for a walk. Then she replied to him calmly, "I'm fine."
They had gotten into such an awkward situation at the amusement park a while ago. Now that they met again, he could act like nothing had happened and talk to her. However, when she thought about the necklace he had broken, she couldn't act like nothing had happened.
So after she replied to Gu Yusheng, she paused for a while and said, "I'll go back to the house."
Then, without waiting for Gu Yusheng's response, she walked past him and went to the door.
She quickly walked to the door. The housekeeper looked at Gu Yusheng's back, who was still standing there, and said in a low voice, "Miss?"
Qin Zhi 'ai knew that the housekeeper must have wanted to persuade her not to treat Gu Yusheng like that. Before the housekeeper could finish her words, she hurriedly replied, "I need to go to the bathroom. I'll go back to the house." Then she walked around the housekeeper, quickly changed her shoes, and went upstairs.
Gu Yusheng clearly heard the conversation between Qin Zhi 'ai and the housekeeper.
He knew that she was looking for an excuse to avoid him. She still blamed him for what had happened that night.
He stood on the spot for a long time before he turned his head and looked behind him, where she had long since disappeared.
He seemed to be hesitating about something, and after a moment, he called out to the butler.
The housekeeper immediately trotted up the stairs and ran all the way to him: "Mr. Gu, what can I do for you?"
Gu Yusheng took out a box from his pocket. He looked down at it for a while and handed it to the housekeeper. "Give this to her later."
The housekeeper looked up at Gu Yusheng in surprise. She didn't say anything, but Gu Yusheng knew she was wondering why he didn't send it to her in person.
Without further explanation, he placed the box in the housekeeper's hands. Then he turned around and strode to the courtyard entrance. He got into the car and told Xiaowang to drive off.
He had been paying attention to her movements for the past few days.
He knew that she didn't have many scenes in the past few days, and he could guess that she wanted to stay with the crew because she wanted to avoid him.
He thought it was fine as long as she was happy, so he let her be. It wasn't until she came back from the crew that he deliberately took some time to go home.
He wanted to give the box to her in person, but she didn't seem happy to see him.
