She had only mentioned that she was going to see Lu Bancheng. She wondered why he was so mad when she finally figured it out. He must have thought she humiliated him.
Luckily, she didn’t allow herself to think that he was jealous.

Qin Zhi’ai quietly jeered at herself. She looked like she hadn’t heard what Gu Yusheng had said. She slowly sat up, wrapped herself in the sheets, and walked to the bathroom.
Soon, Gu Yusheng heard the sound of the shower coming from the bathroom. With only pants on, he looked for clothes in the walk-in closet. He subconsciously turned around to take a look at the bathroom. He stood there, listening to the sound of water for a while before he grabbed his clothes and walked out of the master bedroom.
Gu Yusheng took a shower and changed into clean clothes in another bedroom, the one just across the hall from the master bedroom. He wanted to open the master bedroom door to take a look at what the woman was doing there, but when he walked to the door, ready to open it, he pulled his hand back and walked to the study instead. He took out a pack of cigarettes from the desk drawer, took a cigarette out, and bit it between his teeth. He took a seat on his office chair as he lit the cigarette.
He had used to smoke whenever something bothered him. If one cigarette didn’t work, two would do. Smoking always helped calm him down.
However, smoking hadn’t seemed to be working recently. No matter how many cigarettes he smoked, he still felt annoyed and even found smoking boring by the end.
Gu Yusheng couldn’t remember how many times he had already stubbed a cigarette out. He picked the pack up and realized he had smoked the whole pack.
He was upset and tossed the empty container into the trash can. He opened the desk drawer and was about to take another pack out, when he gave up that idea just as his hand touched a new pack. He slammed the drawer shut and leaned back in his chair. He searched for a comfortable position and closed his eyes.
As he thought about the questions from earlier, Gu Yusheng felt that he was in an uncomfortable position and had to reposition himself on the chair. However, no matter how many times he changed positions, he couldn’t find a comfortable spot. He felt the position he was in was even worse than before, so he stood up and walked to the bay window. He didn’t notice the sunset view had shifted to darkness outside.

He was shocked for a second, then turned around to check the time on the wall clock. He couldn’t believe it was already nine o’clock.
He wondered why the housekeeper hadn’t called him down for dinner yet. He thought he might have been in such deep thought that he hadn’t heard her calling.historical
It had been a long time. He wondered if that woman felt better and whether he should check on her. He turned that idea down and did not see the reason to check on her.
Gu Yusheng lifted his hands to his face and rubbed between his eyebrows. In the end, he decided to leave the study. When he closed the door, he glanced at the master bedroom door, but didn’t walk to the master bedroom. Instead, he put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked downstairs.
The housekeeper was watching TV when she saw him walking downstairs, and she immediately stood up. “Mr. Gu, would you like to have dinner now?”
“Yes,” Gu Yusheng nodded. He stopped and thought for a while before he asked in a casual tone, “Did Miss have dinner yet?”
“Miss hasn’t eaten yet,” the housekeeper shook her head. “I asked her, but she said she didn’t have an appetite. She didn’t want to eat. She’d rather just rest.”
“How could she not eat anything just because she said she didn’t have an appetite. What I am paying you for? Can’t you take care of her?” Gu Yusheng scolded the housekeeper with a frown. He pointed upstairs and said, “Go, ask her to come downstairs to have dinner.”
