From a distance, Xiaowang saw Qin Zhi 'ai. Before she got close, he walked over to her. When he saw that she was looking around for someone after greeting him hastily, he explained, "Secretary Qin, Master Gu has something to attend to and can't make it. He sent me to pick you up."
"Oh," Qin Zhi 'ai said to Xiaowang, embarrassed that her thoughts had been exposed before she had even asked anything.
Xiaowang smiled and took the suitcase from Qin Zhi 'ai's hands. He pointed to the parking lot and signaled her to follow him.
After getting into the car, Xiaowang handed Qin Zhi 'ai a bottle of water before he stepped on the accelerator and drove slowly. "Secretary Qin, Master Gu said he'll contact you as soon as he finishes his work. He asked me to take you to his place to rest for a while."
His place … Is it the villa I've lived in for half a year?
Although Xiaowang sounded like it was a matter of course, Qin Zhi 'ai knew what it meant to go to Gu Yusheng's house at night. She blushed and didn't dare to look at Xiaowang because she was too embarrassed. She just pretended to be calm and said, "Okay."
It was Friday, and the traffic on the road back to the city was a mess. It usually took 40 minutes to drive, but it took two hours to get to Gu Yusheng's villa.
Xiaowang didn't drive into the villa, but parked at the gate.
Qin Zhi 'ai saw the housekeeper standing at the gate of the villa when she was still a long distance away from the gate. Before the car even stopped, the housekeeper came to the front of the car and opened the back door. Gu Yusheng must have asked her to wait for him there in advance. As soon as she saw Qin Zhi' ai, she greeted her respectfully, "Miss."
Xiaowang took Qin Zhi 'ai's suitcase out of the trunk.
The housekeeper took it.
Qin Zhi 'ai said goodbye to Xiaowang. After Xiaowang drove away, the housekeeper respectfully led Qin Zhi' ai into the courtyard.
After entering the house, the housekeeper brought her a pair of slippers, put down her suitcase, and led her to the dining room. "Miss, Mr. Gu said that you'd like to have dinner first after you arrive."
It was almost eight o 'clock in the evening, and Qin Zhi' ai, who was pregnant, was already hungry. Hearing the housekeeper's words, she smiled, washed her hands, and sat at the table.
Half an hour later, Qin Zhi 'ai put down her chopsticks and the housekeeper handed her a bowl of clear soup.
Qin Zhi 'ai drank less than half a bowl and was too full to drink anymore. She put down the bowl, but before she could get up, the housekeeper said, "Miss, it's not good for your health to rest immediately after eating. Shall I accompany you to the backyard for a walk?"
Qin Zhi 'ai thought about it and said, "Okay."
All the lights in the front yard were brightly lit. Walking along the cobblestone path and around the villa, they reached the backyard, but not a single light was turned on.
At first, Qin Zhi 'ai could barely see the road with the help of the light from the windows of the villa that faced the backyard.
Gu Yusheng's villa was located at the highest point of the neighborhood, with its back facing the mountain. The further they walked, the darker the light became. In the end, the place where Qin Zhi 'ai and the housekeeper were standing was completely dark. Except for the occasional faint fragrance of the flowers in the garden, they could almost feel nothing but darkness.
Qin Zhi 'ai was afraid that she would slip in the dark, so she instinctively stopped.
