Outsider…… Was it even necessary to try?
From the very beginning, wasn’t she already an outsider?
She was living in his house, yet today was the first time she was aware of something related to his plans, his whereabouts…… Furthermore, it was from Jiang Qian Qian’s very own mouth that she found out that he was playing mahjong at Gold Jade Splendour.
The corner of Qin Zhi Ai’s mouth hooked up into a depreciating smile. However, the light in the depths of her eyes were deep black, like the current pitch-black sky.
Many years ago, she had truly thought that she had the chance to be that person in his world.
Many years later, she finally learnt that was nothing more than her wishful thinking and that she had been indulging in a fantasy.
He forgot about her. Thoroughly forgot about her.
Forgot about her so thoroughly, that their relations.h.i.+p is so estranged, it’s as far as a mountain across the sea.
Qin Zhi Ai lowered her head slightly, suppressed the stinging heat behind her eyes, and straightened herself. Just as she was preparing to withstand the pain and continue heading towards the subway station, a car suddenly stopped beside her.
The car was a bit fast and braked abruptly. The water on the road splashed out, drenching the lower half of her dress.
Qin Zhi Ai instinctively took a step back. The movement caused her soles to be attacked with another wave of pain. She sucked in a cold breath of air before she raised her umbrella a little higher. A familiar car jumped into sight.
Qin Zhi Ai thought she was seeing things. She first blinked and then pulled down her sungla.s.ses. When she was about to rub her eyes, the door on the driver’s side opened and Xiao w.a.n.g went around the front of the car holding a black umbrella and ran towards her.
“Miss Liang, please get into the car.” Xiao w.a.n.g said, raised the umbrella higher, sheltering her umbrella and then opened the car door for her.
“Why…… are you here?” It was only when Xiao w.a.n.g was stretching out his hand to take the umbrella in her hand, that belatedly she recovered her senses, and asked in a somewhat falteringly manner.
“Mr Gu told me to come.” Xiao w.a.n.g s.h.i.+fted the umbrella he was holding towards Qin Zhi Ai and answered.
Mr, Mr Gu? Gu, Gu Yu Sheng? How did he know that she was here? Qin Zhi Ai’s head boiled with innumerable misgivings and disbelief. Just as she was thinking of turning her head to ask Xiao w.a.n.g another question, out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of Gu Yu Sheng sitting inside the car. His eyes were closed and he was leaning against the seat of the car, resting.
The words on Qin Zhi Ai’s lips stopped in her throat. She stood like a corpse on the side of the car for a while before bending and climbing into the car.
Xiao w.a.n.g closed the door and easily threw the dripping umbrella into the trunk before climbing into the car. When he pressed the accelerator and had only driven forward two hundred meters, Gu Yu Sheng opened his eyes and tilted his head a few millimetres. He stared at Qin Zhi Ai’s dripping wet lower half of her body for a while, and then, it was unknown what exactly provoked his anger, but he suddenly he exploded once again. With absolutely no warning, he viciously said to Xiao w.a.n.g, “Give her a towel. Don’t let her clothes drip and dirty my car!”
