Back Then, I Adored You

“Qin Zhi’ai is just a poor girl who dreams of becoming rich and successful! Right now, this is the best chance for her to realize her dream. Do you think she’ll give it up?

“If she wanted Gu Yusheng to fall in love with her, she must have tried everything she could to steal his heart. If she succeeds, Xiaokou, you’ll suffer a great loss and receive nothing in the end, while she’ll fulfill her dream!

“Xiaokou, I ran into Gu Yusheng not too long ago. After I mentioned to him that Lin Yi wanted to replace your role, Gu Yusheng’s face changed. And yesterday, I saw Lin Yi crying secretly and telling her agent that the role she was playing in “Ethos of the Flourishing Tang Dynasty” was still not comparable to the third female role. I have inquired from the company’s senior management and they told me that it was the intention of an investor. The only investor that can do so is Lu Bancheng, who is Gu Yusheng’s best friend…

“Also, the wedding ring was designed by Gu Yusheng personally. He has arranged for Lu Bancheng to go to Britain to find a designer to make it as quickly as possible!

“Gu Yusheng also said that in the past, he didn’t think about love or marriage, and didn’t play around with love, let alone dream of having either himself one day.

“So, Xiaokou, Gu Yusheng treats Qin Zhi’ai much more carefully than we originally expected…”

Liang Doukou, who was on the other line listening quietly to what Zhou Jing had angrily said, suddenly shouted out in a sharp tone, “Don’t speak anymore!”

Zhou Jing immediately stopped talking. After about half a minute, Liang Doukou spoke to her again. This time, she spoke calmly and gently like she usually did, leaving out her anger. Her voice was pleasant to hear. “Zhou Jing, help me book a plane ticket. I’ll go and tell my attending doctor now!”

Eighteen hours later, a plane landed safely at the Royal International Airport.

Wearing a mask, sunglasses, and a hat, Liang Doukou covered herself fully. Pulling her suitcase along, she quickly exited using the VIP door and went straight to the parking lot. There, she looked around and climbed into a normal-looking black car.

The windows were mirrored. When she got in the car, she took off the mask and displayed her pale face, which had been affected by her surgery.

Zhou Jing was driving the car. She found a bottle of spring water and handed it to Liang Doukou. “How does your body feel? Are you feeling well?”

Liang Doukou said thank you in a low voice, then she took it and drank half of the bottle of water before answering Zhou Jing’s question. “I’m fine.”

Without speaking, Zhou Jing nodded. Gripping the steering wheel, she left the airport and rushed in the direction of the city.

When they were nearly in the city, Liang Doukou saw Zhou Jing driving off of the main roads. She was stunned and frowned, asking, “Where are we going?”

“My home.”

“Your home? Is my little stand-in at your home now?”

“No.”

“No?” Liang Doukou didn’t understand what Zhou Jing was thinking. “If she’s not at your home, why would I go there? Shouldn’t we find the stand-in now and quickly exchange our identities?”

“It’s necessary for you to change, but you still have to wait.” As Zhou Jing spoke, she turned the car into the underground parking lot beneath the apartment building. After stopping the car, she asked Liang Doukou to cover herself and get out.

Although Liang Doukou had a lot of questions, she still followed Zhou Jing’s orders. After reaching Zhou Jing’s home and closing the door, Liang Doukou spoke again. “What do you mean by waiting?”
