  So, he only called out my name to tell me what Xiaowang had already told me……

  Qin Zhi’ai, seemingly unconcerned, nodded and said, “I’ve got it, Master Gu.”


  Gu Yusheng raised his chin slightly to Wu Hao and Xu Wennuan, who had just gotten out of their car, and said, “There are many people here who you won’t know, but stick with them and you’ll be fine.

  With a gentle smile, Qin Zhi’ai replied, “Hmm.”


  Gu Yusheng didn’t say another word. He didn’t need to. He had been in a good mood all day, and seeing her smile he gave her a gentle smile back……

  After Xu Wennuan and Qin Zhi’ai had walked arm in arm and entered the clubhouse with Wu Hao and Lu Bancheng, Gu Yusheng turned around and looked at Liang Doukou, who was still standing from where she had called him.

  Over the years, he had always had young, pretty secretaries around him, but he had never had an affair with any of them. Despite Liang Doukou always badgering him about this, she had never really paid attention to those women. But with Qin Zhi’ai it has been different.

  Liang Doukou was so obsessed with Qin Zhi’ai that she would take Old Master Gu to Hui Shi simply to harass her and drive her away.

  Am I overthinking it? Could Liang Doukou not really be trying to deliberately get rid of Qin Zhi’ai?

  Maybe she was really angry because Qin Zhi’ai had spilled the coffee carelessly, and she had taken the opportunity to lose her temper. But that’s not normal behavior so I’m suspicious of her motives.

  Assuming that Liang Doukou is really trying to drive Qin Zhi’ai away, then the only explanation is that she is afraid of Qin Zhi’ai’s existence.

  Why would she be afraid of Qin Zhi’ai especially?

  The only answer is that Qin Zhi’ai is a tremendous threat to her.

  In this world, only little troublemaker could make Liang Doukou feel threatened.

  Because Liang Doukou knows that the only woman I love is little troublemaker.

  This is why he had secretly given Qin Zhi’ai an invitation to the Gu Company annual party, why he had Qin Zhi’ai ride with him in his car, and why, when Liang Doukou had called him, he had let Qin Zhi’ai stand beside him.

  He had done all these things deliberately, because he wanted Liang Doukou to see it herself.

  Just now, for instance, he hadn’t really said anything meaningful to his little secretary, but he had tilted his head slightly and smiled at her. His actions were intended to make Liang Doukou deliberately misunderstand that he and Qin Zhi’ai were intimate.

  If Liang Doukou really considers Qin Zhi’ai a threat, the more intimate I’ll be with Qin Zhi’ai, and the more panicky Liang Doukou will be. She could completely lose her temper and go as far as to find Qin Zhi’ai.

  Gu Yusheng finally turned away from Liang Doukou. He looked at Xiaowang and then entered the club, as if Liang Doukou wasn’t there at all.

  Xiaowang quickly said “goodbye” to Liang Doukou and then followed Gu Yusheng inside……

  This year, the annual Gu Company party was different from those of the past in that the style was Chinese rather than Western. This included seating assignments.

  Gu Yusheng sat at the main table, with Old Master Gu, Liang Doukou, and Old Master Liang.

  Qin Zhi’ai, Xu Wennuan, and Wu Hao sat together at a table some distance from Gu Yusheng’s table, while Lu Bancheng and Xiaowang sat next to the main table.
