  After taking the cell phone from him, Qin Zhi’ai gently and quietly said, “Thank you.”


  Ever since he had returned home, Gu Yusheng had dawdled around Qin Zhi’ai for a long time. After hearing those two words, he felt completely brokenhearted.

  Does she really not care about me at all?

  Gu Yusheng stood by the bed and quietly looked at Qin Zhi’ai for a moment. Then he turned around and walked into the bathroom.

  After the door of the bathroom had just closed, there was sadness flashing in Qin Zhi’ai’s eyes.

  As soon as Gu Yusheng had walked into the room, she had smelled the pungent mix of perfumes on his clothes.

  She had thought that he must have gone out for business that night and the smell must have come from the women around him. And there had to have been more than one woman…


  She suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling in her heart, but she was only a substitute. After that night, she only had eight days left before she left him. As for what he had done outside, she had no right to mind or feel jealous, so no matter how sad she was, she could only maintain her peaceful expression. Without questioning him, she had pretended that she hadn’t smelled the perfumes.

  The following days, Gu Yusheng had a social engagement every evening. When he came back, just as the night at the beginning of the month, his clothes reeked of women’s perfumes.

  Qin Zhi’ai didn’t like the smell to get on her clothes. To avoid him, she went to sleep earlier.

  However, after Gu Yusheng came back, she was woken from her sleep by either the loud noises he made when he laid down in the bed or the ringing of his phone.

  She turned her back to him, didn’t react, and continued to pretend to be asleep, but when he walked around the room, she could clearly smell the pungent scent coming off of him.

  Qin Zhi’ai had thought that the perfume Gu Yusheng wore every day was the biggest torment for her, but on the morning of the fourth day, after she woke up, Gu Yusheng was still at home. He handed her a shirt and asked her to give it to the butler to dry-clean it since he had to wear it for an activity the next day.

  The shirt was white. In addition to the pungent smell of perfume, there were still a few lipstick marks of different shades.

  No one knew how much her heart trembled at that time, but she could only pretend that she hadn’t seen anything. She nodded with a calm face and took the shirt downstairs to find the housekeeper.

  She had just told the housekeeper about Gu Yusheng’s request when there was a squeaky sound from upstairs. She and the housekeeper were both stunned and looked at the stairs. They saw him walking upstairs in a suit.

  When he passed her, she glanced at him. He didn’t know if it was just an illusion that the expression on his face was the same as usual, but she still felt that he seemed to be in a very bad mood.

  That night, he came home very late. At that time, she had already fallen deeply asleep, but he pulled on her arms and woke her up.

  He was drunk, still wearing the pungent smell of mixed perfumes.

  He didn’t even take a shower, only woke her up. Without saying a word, he madly pressed himself onto her body, randomly removing her pajamas. Without touching or kissing, he crushed into her body…


  He hadn’t treated her like that in a long time. Although during that period of time, he’d had intimate behavior with her many times, when he forced her to sleep with him, the familiar heartbreaking pain overwhelmed her.
