Gu Yusheng hadn’t been to the company for about ten days, so he had many meetings to attend and many clients to meet. He was busy from the morning to the afternoon. He didn’t even have time for water in between.
It was already four o’clock in the afternoon when he finally had a break.
He hadn’t slept much the night before and had a headache. He leaned on the office chair and rubbed between his eyebrows. The cell phone on the desk started to ring before he had really rested.
He stopped rubbing between his eyebrows and took a look at the time with his head tilted. It was a call from Lu Bancheng. His fingers slid across the screen and picked up the call without any emotion on his face.
“Bro? Wu Hao is flying back to Shanghai tomorrow morning. Do you want to have dinner tonight?” Lu Bancheng said.
Gu Yusheng tapped on the touchpad on his computer to look at his schedule. He saw he didn’t have anything important for the rest of the day, so he answered with an “okay.”
“I’ll see you at Peking Bistro at 7:00 tonight,” Lu Bancheng said.
Gu Yusheng simply agreed and wanted to hang up on him, but he heard Lu Bacheng again before his touched the end call button. “Bro Sheng, we only have few of us tonight. Do you want to bring Xiaokou tonight?”
Gu Yusheng answered him without giving it too much thought, then hung up the phone.
Gu Yusheng started to have pictures of him and her having sex flash in his mind since Lu Bancheng had mentioned Xiaokou.
Gu Yusheng’s face didn’t seem as tense anymore. It was possible she would still be tired from last night. She was still in a sound sleep when he had left the house in the morning. He wondered if she was awake now.
If she hasn’t woken up yet, should he remind the housekeeper to wake her up and ask her to prepare some food? Gu Yusheng thought to himself.
Thinking this, Gu Yusheng picked up the landline and called the house.
When the phone had just rung once, he saw an email arrive in his inbox. As he read it, he asked the housekeeper on the phone, “Did Miss wake up yet?”
“She woke up a while ago and already had lunch. She’s been taking care of the flowers and plants in the sunroom.” The housekeeper paused for a second before she asked, “Do you want me to ask for Miss to talk to you?”
“No, tell her…” Gu Yusheng wanted to tell the housekeeper that he would come to pick Liang Doukou up for dinner at six. However, when those words were on the tip of his tongue, he suddenly stopped.
He wondered why Lu Bancheng had asked him to bring her to the dinner if only the guys wanted to have dinner together.
Suddenly, Gu Yusheng changed his mind and said, “I’m not coming home for dinner tonight.”
He became a little upset and hung up the call.
There must be something wrong with Lu Bancheng. Why did he ask me to take her to dinner? I’m not bringing anybody! Gu Yusheng thought to himself.
Qin Zhi’ai didn’t go back to the master bedroom until five o’clock.
She looked at Liang Doukou’s cell phone first and made sure she hadn’t missed any important calls before she took her own cell phone, which had been set on silent, out.
There were two missed calls from about half an hour before.
She couldn’t have been more familiar with the number. It was her best friend, Xu Wennuan.
Qin Zhi’ai walked directly to the balcony with the phone and called Xu Wennuan back.
Xu Wennuan picked up after it had only rung twice. Qin Zhi’ai heard Xu Wennuan’s complaining right away. “Xiao’ai, do you even know to call me back?”
“I didn’t hear it. I’m—” Qin Zhi’ai said.
Before Qin Zhi’ai could finish apologizing, Xu Wennuan interrupted, “I’m not accepting your apology. It would be better if you could take me out for dinner.”
Qin Zhi’ai said, “Sure, I’ll take you out to dinner when you come to Beijing or I go to Shanghai—”
Xu Wennuan interrupted her again. “Nah, I’ll see you tonight at Peking Bistro at 7:00.”
