Back Then, I Adored You

Over the years, Qin Zhi’ai and Mr. S had written many letters to each other, but she had never been curious about what kind of person he would be in real life.

Now, she could not help but imagine him in her mind.

Mr. S, what kind of man will you become?

Either you’ll remain a single man who doesn’t love anyone, or you’ll find someone who you’ll deeply fall in love with…

As Qin Zhi’ai was staring at the letter, her cell phone beeped.

She grabbed it from her bag and glanced at the screen. Xu Wennuan was urging her to quickly get downstairs.

Qin Zhi’ai replied “immediately,” folded the letter, slipped it back into the envelope, and tucked it into her purse with her phone. After washing her hands, she grabbed her purse and left the bathroom.

……

“Zhou Jing, let me go!”

Liang Doukou continued a string of demands and questions.

“Don’t drag me! Where are you taking me?”

As if she didn’t hear a thing, Zhou Jing continued to forcefully escort her to outside of the banquet hall.

“Zhou Jing, what on earth are you doing? What’s the matter? Can you talk to me later? I have something important to do now!”

“Zhou Jing, have you heard a word I’ve said?”

Zhou Jing suddenly stopped and looked at Liang Doukou without saying a word. She forcefully opened the car door and pushed Liang Doukou inside, motioning for her to scoot over.

“What’s going on, Zhou Jing?” After closing the door, Zhou Jing, who hadn’t said a word since finding Liang Doukou on the second floor, finally said, “Xiaokou, what were you intending to do up there?”

“You were looking for that pathetic girl, weren’t you? To warn her to stay away from Gu Yusheng?”

Zhou Jing continued firing questions at Liang Doukou, who finally interrupted.

“Yes, I’m just going to look for her! I gave her so much money, but she’s been with Yusheng anyway. Can I not go to her? Zhou Jing, we all know that during the Spring Festival we had carefully planned a car accident, and I sacrificed my life to save grandpa, so he stands by me. If that accident hadn’t happened, even grandpa would not support me! I honestly thought that if Yusheng couldn’t find her, he would eventually give up. But now that they’ve met again… Did you see how Yusheng treated her tonight?”

The more Liang Doukou talked, the angrier she became. She even tried to get out of the car. “I have to find her! I must make her leave Yusheng! I can’t stand her being with my Yusheng for even a second!”

“Xiaokou!” Zhou Jing stretched out her hand, grabbed Liang Doukou’s arm, and pulled her back from trying to open the door. Staring into Liang Doukou’s eyes, she said in a low, serious tone, “Didn’t you notice? When you followed that girl to the second floor, Gu Yusheng also took an elevator right after you!”

Liang Doukou didn’t grasp the meaning of Zhou Jing’s words and just stared at Zhou Jing with her eyes still full of anxiety and anger. “Then what? What’s the problem?”

“Ask yourself!” Zhou Jing seemed irritated by her irrationality, and said in an even more serious tone, “If I hadn’t pulled you back into another elevator and taken you right back downstairs, Gu Yusheng would now know positively that that girl is the one he has been looking for!”

Although Liang Doukou remained angry, she suddenly understood the potential consequences of her actions.
