She found out her suspicion had been correct. The reason Gu Yusheng had made her his secretary was because he had suspected she was little troublemaker.
Unfortunately, Qin Zhiâai could not admit she was little troublemaker, regardless of whether he was only interested in her body or genuinely missed her companionship.
At one point in time, before he had children, she simply did not want to be a wedge in his marriage but, if he ever did have children, she would never allow herself to be a homewrecker.
Qin Zhiâai looked at Gu Yushengâs dark eyes as she clenched her fists to suppress her emotions. After Gu Yusheng asked her the second time, she smiled without hesitation. âMaster Gu, what makes you think Iâm her?â
Gu Yusheng watched her in silence.
Qin Zhiâai had to say something, so she turned her question into a statement. âMaster Gu, I donât know how Iâve made you misunderstand, but Iâm not the girl youâre talking about.â
Gu Yusheng moved his eyes and looked at her again before looking away. After pausing, he said without emotion, âI will think about what you just told me.â
âMaster Gu...â Qin Zhiâai was going overseas in March, and it was almost February. She couldnât continue to keep waiting for his answer.
Gu Yusheng knew what she was going to say and, before she could finish, he interrupted, âIâll give you an answer soon.â
After a second, he added, âIt will not be longer than three days. I have an appointment soon, so you can leave now if you want.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qin Zhiâai detected something in his behavior that betrayed his calm demeanor. She looked at him closely and indeed noticed his frowning brows and a trace of annoyance on his face. She immediately stood up and bowed. âMaster Gu, Iâll see you later.â She grabbed her purse and left hastily.

Xiaowang immediately saw Gu Yusheng smoking in front of the bay window when he pushed the party room door open.
He knew better than to bother Gu Yusheng, so he quietly walked to the sofa, took a seat, and held his breath.
Except for the sound of Gu Yusheng playing with his lighter, the room was silent.
Despite the largeness of the room, Gu Yushengâs cigarette smoke still managed to fill the air. Fortunately for Xiaowang, who couldnât stand the smoke anymore, his cell phone alarm went off. It was the reminder that Gu Yusheng need to be at a lunch by 12:30 p.m.
Xiaowang immediately said, âMaster Gu, you have an important lunch to get to. I think we should leave now.â
Gu Yusheng lifted his arm up to check his wristwatch. Gu Yusheng thought it was too early to leave and didnât budge.
He fumbled in his pocket for a cigarette but discovered he was out. He put down the lighter and looked out the window for a while before saying, âCan you give Secretary Qin a call and tell her that she can leave Hui Shi?â
âYes, Master Gu.â Even though Xiaowang felt badly to see Qin Zhiâai leave like this, he was happy for her at the same timeâher future would be good. After responding to Gu Yusheng, he dialed Qin Zhiâaiâs number.
âSecretary Qin? Master Gu asked me to let you know that you can leave Hui Shi.
âSecretary Qin, I will contact you when I get a chance to go to America on a business trip. Donât try to pretend that you donât know me if that happens.â
