Qin Zhi 'ai didn't know how long she had been holding the envelope. When she came back to herself, it was already dark outside the window.
She threw the envelope in the drawer of the dresser and turned to go downstairs.
When Qin Zhi 'ai entered the dining room, she didn't expect Gu Yusheng to be sitting at the table eating dinner. Hearing her, he raised his eyes and glanced at her. The expression on his face didn't change at all, as if she didn't exist. He lowered his head and continued to drink the soup in one hand and read the news on his cell phone with the other.
"Miss, what would you like to eat?" The housekeeper pulled out the chair across from Gu Yusheng. "Noodles or rice like Mr. Gu?"
In the three months since they had moved into Gu Yusheng's villa, they had never sat at the same table except for the time when they had had a meal together at the Gu Mansion. She paused for a while, then walked to the dining chair and sat down. She whispered to the housekeeper, "Rice please."
"Okay, Miss." The housekeeper quickly brought a bowl of rice to Qin Zhi 'ai.
Qin Zhi 'ai said "thank you" in a low voice, picked up the chopsticks, slightly lowered her head, and ate the rice.
The dining room was very quiet. Apart from the occasional crisp sound of chopsticks hitting the plates, there was no other sound.
When Qin Zhi 'ai arrived, there wasn't much soup left in Gu Yusheng's bowl. He stared at the cell phone screen for a while, then raised his head and finished the soup in one gulp. He put down the bowl, stood up, and left.
Maybe it was because she had eaten too much at noon, or maybe it was because Gu Yusheng was there, but Qin Zhi 'ai had no appetite at all. She forced herself to eat half a bowl of rice at the big dining table before putting down her chopsticks.
She didn't hurry to get up, but sat on the chair for a while. When the housekeeper came in, she asked in a low voice, "What … What is he doing?"
She wanted to ask if he had left. When the words were on the tip of her tongue, she realized it was inappropriate, so she changed it.
"Sir? He's watching TV in the living room. "
Hearing the housekeeper's answer, Qin Zhi 'ai said, "Oh." She didn't say anything else, but she became a little nervous.
She continued to sit in the dining room for a while, then suppressed her emotions and walked out of the dining room.
Gu Yusheng was sitting in the middle of the sofa with his feet crossed, watching the recent Olympic Games.
The TV was broadcasting a table tennis match. His volume was very low, and from time to time, he could hear the cheers of the audience.
Gu Yusheng was so fascinated by the game that he didn't notice Qin Zhi 'ai coming out of the restaurant.
Qin Zhi 'ai stood nearby and stared at him for a while. Seeing that he showed no signs of leaving, she tilted her head and looked at the grandfather clock.
It's already past nine o 'clock. It's already so late, and he still hasn't left. Could it be that … he's staying at home tonight?
The room she was in was his master bedroom … So, if he slept at home tonight, she would have to sleep in the same bed in the same room?
