Back Then, I Adored You

The bruises on her fair skin were very obvious.

Gu Yusheng stared at a bruise on her back for a while before he looked up at her face. “Did I leave that bruise on you when I pushed you?”

Qin Zhi’ai slowly opened her eyes after she heard Gu Yusheng’s question. Her eyes met with his as she asked in confusion, “What?”

She hadn’t yet recovered from the passionate sex. A bit of sexual lust was still left in her eyes, making her look incredibly sexy and attractive to him.

Gu Yusheng’s throat was tight. He rubbed her back with his finger. He explained in a hoarse voice, “Here.”

“Oh.” Qin Zhi’ai immediately understood what he meant. She nodded slightly. She read the guilt and regret from his eyes before she was about to say, “It’s fine. It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

It seemed like something was being pressed on the pressure points, and she froze. The words she had been about to say were stuck on her tongue.

Does Gu, Gu Yusheng, regret what he did and feel bad for me, or am I reading this wrong? Qin Zhi’ai thought to herself.

Qin Zhi’ai blinked. As she prepared herself to take a closer look at Gu Yusheng, Gu Yusheng had lowered his head to check the bruise on her back.

Qin Zhi’ai could only see his defined jawline, but not his face. She wasn’t sure if she was making things up in her head.

“May—” Before the end of the word “maybe” had even formed in her head, Gu Yusheng had gently laid his lips on her back. He looked like he was caring and cherishing for a treasure of his. He kissed her skin slowly and gently.

Is he trying to comfort me? If he’s comforting me, why is he doing that? He has seemed to change a lot in how he treats me. He texted me a lot today, and his temper is better, too. He has more patience with me. Compared to when I had just moved into this house, there’s a huge difference in how he treats me. Could all of these changes mean… Qin Zhi’ai thought to herself.

These ideas had used to run through her mind, but she had suppressed them. However, they came back to her again now.

She paused for a while before she had the courage to let all her thoughts out, just as she had when she saw the necklaces he had offered her that night.

Are these changes because of me? Qin Zhi’ai thought to herself.

Qin Zhi’ai’s body shivered roughly. She was perplexed, but there were still butterflies in her stomach.

Gu Yusheng felt bad about the bruises he had put on her neck. He laid many gentle kisses at that spot for a while before he slowly pulled himself away.

The intimate action had aroused him again. He looked up and after seeing the hickeys he had left on her, his breath was taken away for a second. He couldn’t help laying his lips on her neck again.

As it had before, the passion grew.

Both of their breathing became heavier and irregular.

Qin Zhi’ai was aroused by Gu Yusheng and felt electricity pass through her whole body many times. She didn’t have any time to think about why Gu Yusheng had changed so much or whether it had been because of her.

After they had just finished their business on the bed, Gu Yusheng became clingy again.

He doesn’t want another round, does he? Qin Zhi’ai questioned to herself.

Qin Zhi’ai’s legs started to shake when she thought of how much he had aroused and tortured her. Just as she was about to stop Gu Yusheng from his clinging, someone knocked on the study door. Outside of the door, the housekeeper said, “Mr. Gu, Miss, it’s time for dinner.”
