Qin Zhi’ai felt relaxed at home when Gu Yusheng wasn’t around. After she had spent some time with the housekeeper, she had started to show her real personality. After she walked down the last stair, she hopped to the kitchen. She raised her voice and asked, “Housekeeper, did you make something yummy? Your baby is hungry.”
Before she finished the last syllable, she saw there were two people on the sofa. Someone was standing next to the sofa, too.
Qin Zhi’ai suddenly stopped and slowly turned her head to the living room.
It was Xiaowang standing next to the sofa. Gu Yusheng and a man she didn’t recognize were sat on the sofa.
The three of them all looked at her like she was weird.
Qin Zhi’ai thought the way she behaved before had caused them to react that way. She immediately blushed and corrected the way she stood to act more like a lady. She greeted the man she didn’t know with a smile.
Before the man responded to her, Gu Yusheng had put down the files in his hand and apologized to him before he stood up and walked to her in quick strides.
Did he see how I acted and hear what I said? Qin Zhi’ai thought to herself.
Qin Zhi’ai couldn’t help looking down. She didn’t dare to look at Gu Yusheng.
Gu Yusheng stood in front of her and put his hands on her shoulders. He asked casually, “You’re up?”
Qin Zhi’ai nodded. As she was about to look up and respond with a yes, he continued in a low pitch, “Baby.”
Qin Zhi’ai’s body froze while she was half looking up at Gu Yusheng. Her face grew redder.
How could he still be as bad as so many years before?
He knew well that she felt embarrassed being called baby. Why had he called her baby again?
He put more force on her shoulders and forced her to stay where she was, not letting her move.
She frowned. He had reached his hand out and pulled her by the shoulders before she could look up at him to see what he had meant.
His actions made Qin Zhi’ai look down. After she woke up, she had seen that Gu Yusheng wasn’t in bed, so she had thought he had gone to work and was the only one home. She had only put on a tank top and run downstairs.
Did they look at me weird because of my clothes? Qin Zhi’ai thought to herself.
As she was guessing the reason they looked at her weird, Gu Yusheng moved closer to her and whispered, “You’re showing too much skin.”
After pausing for a second, Gu Yusheng emphasized each word on purpose. “Baby.”
Qin Zhi’ai blushed so red that even her ears were flushed. She had her head down and didn’t dare to look at Gu Yusheng. She said in a very low voice, “I’m going upstairs to change clothes.”
“Okay.” Gu Yusheng took his hands off her shoulders and looked like he would do what she asked.
As Qin Zhi’ai stepped back and was about to turn around to go upstairs, Gu Yusheng suddenly reached his hand out and grabbed her by the arm. He pulled her closer to him. She looked up at him instinctively as he looked into her eyes and slowly lowered his head. He moved closer to her right cheek, his breaths making her heart beat faster. She was shy and looked down. He said it again. “Baby.”
