Back Then, I Adored You

Recalling what had happened with Qin Zhi’ai, Xu Wennuan couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly. “In all the years that I’ve known Brother Sheng, I always thought that he was fickle and unfeeling. I had never expected him to practically reach a level of perfection when it comes to spoiling his wife.”

As Xu Wennuan had just mentioned the words “personal chef,” Qin Zhi’ai understood right away that she was referring to the photographs that had been circulated online among their friends. She raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly. When she spoke, she sounded as if she was complaining, but there was a kind of hidden happiness that seeped through her words.

“Hey, you’ll think of him as a male God since he appears to be so cool and he’s the embodiment of a forbidden lover, but after getting to know him, you’ll realize that he’s extremely cunning.

“Let me tell you about this: Remember when I hired a personal fitness trainer? The trainer was a male, and when Gu Yusheng came to pick me up at the gym, he saw the two of us chatting. Do you know what he did behind my back afterward? He told my trainer that I was 50 years old, and the reason why I looked so young was because I spent a lot of money injecting hyaluronic acid into my skin.

“I’ll never forget that, but do you know what is the most ridiculous thing he ever did? It was Xiaowang’s birthday a while back, and he had been my supervisor when I was working at Hui Shi. I also considered him my mentor, so I wanted to get him a birthday gift. When I went shopping for it, Gu Yusheng was fine and didn’t seem to have any opinion about it; he approved of anything I wanted to buy. Finally, I bought a watch for Xiaowang, but guess what Xiaowang ultimately received? An air doll! Xiaowang avoided me for a whole week after that, which totally confused me until I found out that Gu Yusheng had switched my gift…”

Xu Wennuan, who had just taken a sip of her coffee, came very close to spitting it out. “I really didn’t expect Brother Sheng to have such a cute side.”

“Cute?” Qin Zhi’ai rolled her eyes. “Nuannuan, I think you need to go back to elementary school.” Xu Wennuan laughed.

Qin Zhi’ai picked up her tea and drank half of it before she was suddenly reminded of something. She lifted her head and spoke to Xu Wennuan again, “Oh, right, come to my house next Wednesday.”

“Why?”

“Haven’t you always been a fan of SP-branded bags? His designer is now my personal designer. Come over, and I’ll have him design a bag just for you.”

“Are you for real?” Xu Wennuan gazed at Qin Zhi’ai incredulously. After a while, a sudden epiphany hit her and she asked, “Is this also Brother Sheng’s doing?”

Qin Zhi’ai laughed and nodded. “This happened last week. He was overseas on a business trip, and I asked him to buy a bag for me. I casually mentioned how I’ve always liked the bags that this designer produced, and when Gu Yusheng came back, he brought the designer home with him instead of a bag!”

“Damn…” Xu Wennuan dragged out her word but, before she could finish, Qin Zhi’ai’s phone started ringing.

Qin Zhi’ai dug out her phone and glanced at the screen. She whispered that it was from “the application company” before picking up the call.

“Hello… Yes, this is Miss Qin Zhi’ai speaking… Is that so… Alright then, sorry for the trouble… Goodbye.”
