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 Zhi’ai 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 Zhi’ai looked at Gu Yusheng’s dark eyes as she clenched her fists to suppress her emotions. After Gu Yusheng asked her the second time, she smiled without hesitation. “Master Gu, what makes you think I’m her?”
Gu Yusheng watched her in silence.
Qin Zhi’ai had to say something, so she turned her question into a statement. “Master Gu, I don’t know how I’ve made you misunderstand, but I’m not the girl you’re talking about.”
Gu Yusheng moved his eyes and looked at her again before looking away. After pausing, he said without emotion, “I will think about what you just told me.”
“Master Gu...” Qin Zhi’ai was going overseas in March, and it was almost February. She couldn’t continue to keep waiting for his answer.
Gu Yusheng knew what she was going to say and, before she could finish, he interrupted, “I’ll give you an answer soon.”
After a second, he added, “It will not be longer than three days. I have an appointment soon, so you can leave now if you want.”
Qin Zhi’ai 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. “Master Gu, I’ll see you later.” 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 Yusheng’s cigarette smoke still managed to fill the air. Fortunately for Xiaowang, who couldn’t 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, “Master Gu, you have an important lunch to get to. I think we should leave now.”
Gu Yusheng lifted his arm up to check his wristwatch. Gu Yusheng thought it was too early to leave and didn’t 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, “Can you give Secretary Qin a call and tell her that she can leave Hui Shi?”
“Yes, Master Gu.” Even though Xiaowang felt badly to see Qin Zhi’ai leave like this, he was happy for her at the same time—her future would be good. After responding to Gu Yusheng, he dialed Qin Zhi’ai’s number.
“Secretary Qin? Master Gu asked me to let you know that you can leave Hui Shi.
“Secretary Qin, I will contact you when I get a chance to go to America on a business trip. Don’t try to pretend that you don’t know me if that happens.”
