Back Then, I Adored You

Gu Yusheng’s body trembled heavily, then he heard Wu Hao on the phone raising his voice to say, “Brother Sheng? Are you still listening?”

His brain was full of misunderstanding at the little troublemaker. He didn’t answer Wu Hao, but directly hung up the phone, holding the phone and standing numbly for a few seconds. Then he quickly ran out of the room without closing the door, rushing to Xiaowang’s room and forcefully ringing the doorbell several times.

No wonder she had promised him to bear him a child but still taken contraceptives behind his back.

No wonder he had given her a credit card, but she hadn’t even spent a penny.

No wonder he had bought her so many gifts, but she had never used them.

It turned out that this little troublemaker he had fallen in love with was just a substitute hired by Liang Doukou…

She wasn’t the real Liang Doukou, so she thought she didn’t deserve that kind of treatment.

But she hadn’t known that he meant to give those things to little troublemaker, not to Liang Doukou…

The more Gu Yusheng thought about it, the more chaotic his mood was. Seeing that the door hadn’t opened yet, he began to beat at the door roughly.

The door was opened as Xiaowang asked who was there. Upon finding out that it was Gu Yusheng, Xiaowang was blank all of a sudden. Before Xiaowang could call to him, Gu Yusheng couldn’t wait to say in an exceptionally trembling tone, “Hurry up, book me a plane ticket. I need to go back to Beijing!”

However, they had just asked Master Xia to dinner that night… Xiaowang reminded Gu Yusheng, “Master Gu, you have an appointment with Master Xia at seven this evening—”

Before Xiaowang had finished his words, Gu Yusheng interrupted him with, “I said, book a ticket, I want to go back to Beijing now! ”

Nothing was more important than going back to see his little troublemaker.

He wanted to ask her who she was, and he also wanted to apologize to her.

Xiao Wang was scared of Gu Yusheng. He shut his mouth, not daring to say a word, and took out his phone to begin booking a plane ticket for him.

“Master Gu, the earliest flight back to Beijing is at 5:30 this afternoon.”

Gu Yusheng raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. It was only 1:00 pm. There were still four and a half hours left.

Gu Yusheng frowned with obvious displeasure and anxiety.

Before Gu Yusheng could speak again, Xiaowang immediately changed his words. “I’m going to check if there are any train tickets.”

Gu Yusheng moved his lips, but made no response.

Less than a minute later, Xiaowang gave Gu Yusheng another reply. “Tickets for a high-speed train aren’t available until tomorrow…”

Before the last word came out of from his mouth, Xiaowang felt a strong pressure coming towards him. He subconsciously stepped back and explained, “It’s probably because the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming up…”

“Give me the car keys.” Gu Yusheng opened his hand expectantly in front of Xiaowang.

“What?” Xiao Wang didn’t understand the meaning of this gesture and was astounded for a while. After taking out the spare car keys the branch office had prepared, he suddenly caught the meaning of Gu Yusheng’s words. “Master… Master Gu, you’re not driving back to Beijing, are you? ”

Yes, he wanted to drive back to Beijing.

He couldn’t wait until 5:30 that evening. If the flight was delayed due to a problem, he wouldn’t arrive in Beijing until midnight.

Gu Yusheng didn’t reply, only said to Xiaowang in a cold tone, “You stay in Shanghai and explain to Master Xia and the SH Finance and Economics team.”

After a pause, he added, “Help me clean up the things in my room, too.”

Then Gu Yusheng stepped into the elevator in a few sweeping strides.

Climbing into the car, Gu Yusheng didn’t even fasten his seat belt. He slammed on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel, and raced out.
