Back Then, I Adored You

Qin Zhi’ai laid on the messy bed, exhausted. She heard Gu Yusheng changing his clothes. She was so exhausted that she barely had the strength to breath.

After about ten minutes, Gu Yusheng had changed into a brand new suit, looking sharp. He walked out of the closet with a tie in his hand. He took a look at Qin Zhi’ai on the bed as he put on the tie, then walked to her and bent down to get closer to her. He lifted up her chin and looked at her pale face. He snorted, “Didn’t you just want the identity of Mrs. Gu? Sure, no problem. I’ll give you what you need if you give me a baby. If you can’t do that, you’d better get out of here quickly.” Gu Yusheng shot her a cold look. The expression on his face suddenly looked aloof.

Qin Zhi’ai’s lashes fluttered slightly, but she didn’t even look up at him.

Yes, she didn’t want to even look at him anymore.

She didn’t want her last memory of him to be with an expression of disgust and dislike on his face.

“Of course, if you want to have a baby just to keep your identity as Mrs. Gu, I won’t be coming home in the future. I’ll leave this house for you as compensation for giving birth to my baby. If I have to, I’ll to pay someone to carry my baby, even if it’s a surrogate,” Gu Yusheng said.

Qin Zhi’ai’s hand, which was under the blanket, couldn’t help gripping the blanket harder as Gu Yusheng talked.

Actually, Qin Zhi’ai was okay with the current situation. Gu Yusheng had gradually changed his opinion on Liang Doukou because of her. At this moment, he was just going back to the same relationship he’d originally had with Liang Doukou.

Everything would be back to where they had started. It was actually a good thing.

“Since you aren’t pregnant, ask the housekeeper to inform me when you’ll be ovulating, since we’ll have better chances during that time. You don’t want to have sex with me while I’m not interested in your body. Since we don’t want to be in each other’s lives, the few days while you’re ovulating would be our best option, with a higher percentage of getting you pregnant. Isn’t that right?” Gu Yusheng said.

Gu Yusheng smirked at himself and let Qin Zhi’ai’s chin go. He straightened his body. “Oh, don’t think about it too much. The reason I want you to have a baby for me is only because grandpa likes you. You’re just a tool for me. Besides that, you have no value to me. Do you understand?”

Gu Yusheng said this coldly. He fixed his tie and walked around the bed to the door.

As he had just pulled the door open, he remembered that he had left his wallet and car keys in the clothes he had worn home that morning. He went back to the closet, but when he tried to take his wallet out of his pocket, he felt a velvet jewelry box. It was like someone had pressed all his pressure points. He froze for a second before he took the box out.

This was the ring he had designed specifically to surprise her. He had waited for her to fall asleep to measure her ring finger, then sent the measurements to Lu Bancheng.

Yesterday afternoon, he had been so happy and excited when he saw that ring. It had only been 24 hours since that, but everything had changed. He felt ridiculously sad when he saw it again.

Gu Yusheng couldn’t help gripping the box harder. The next second, he had turned around and walked out of the closet. He tossed the ring out the open window without any hesitation. He walked out of the bedroom without even taking another look at Qin Zhi’ai.
