“Uh-huh?” It seemed that on the other side of the line, Liang Doukou hadn’t thought about that question. Therefore, when she was asked, she couldn’t answer immediately. After a while, she answered, “Oh, please wait a moment…”

Through the cell phone, Qin Zhi’ai heard Liang Doukou communicating with others in English. Because she spoke in a low voice, Qin Zhi’ai couldn’t hear clearly, but from some of the English words, she guessed that Liang Doukou was probably asking the doctor about her health condition.

After about five minutes, Liang Doukou spoke to her clearly again in Chinese. “Just now, I asked my attending doctor. If things go well, I’ll be back home next month on the 10th.”

The 10th of next month… Today is the 25th. That is to say, in fifteen days, the real Liang Doukou will come back, while I, the pretend one, will leave… Holding the phone, Qin Zhi’ai felt her fingers tremble.

She had thought that Liang Doukou would come back after a long time. However, she would be back much earlier than Qin Zhi’ai had expected.

After saying that, Liang Dou’kou hadn’t heard Qin Zhi’ai’s response, so she asked her again, “Any other questions?”

“No.” Qin Zhi’ai pulled herself back to reality and answered, “I don’t have any other questions.”

“The time is much earlier than expected, but don’t worry. Even if you only have to work for half a month next month, I’ll give you a whole month’s pay.” Liang Doukou thought that Qin Zhi’ai had asked her when she was coming back because of the money. Therefore, she repeated the amount of money that she had promised her before. “After receiving the money, you can pay off your father’s debts.”

“Thank you.” Qin Zhi’ai paused for a while and continued, “See you!”

“See you.”

…

After hanging up, Qin Zhi’ai was fixed there with her phone in hand. All she could think of was the time Liang Dou had told her.

At first, she had thought with that opportunity, she could approach Gu Yusheng. Then maybe like Cinderella, she, too, could have a midnight fantasy. She had thought that she could pretend to be Liang Doukou and do something for him that she had dreamed of many times: cook for him, wait for him to come home, get along with him harmoniously…

She hadn’t realized that what she had thought was too simple and naive until she had lived in his villa and approached him as she had originally wished, since the relations.h.i.+p between Liang Doukou and him was so terrible that she could only stay away from him and try not to badger him.

However, things were always out of her control. No matter how well she had done, she always annoyed him… Though they had experienced a few wonderful moments… she found that she felt more unhappy when he treated her well than when he treated her mercilessly, because she wasn’t the real Liang Doukou.

Liang Doukou would finally come back, and she would return to the world she had originally lived in.

She felt a little relaxed, but more depressed, because he didn’t exist in her original world.

Fifteen days. After fifteen days, she would have no contact with him any longer.

Qin Zhi’ai became a bit absent minded. After a while, she stopped all her self-destructive thoughts and slowly walked back to Gu Yusheng’s villa.

Thinking about her own issues the whole time, she hadn’t paid attention to the car parked at the entrance of the yard and went directly into the yard. When she was halfway through, the door was pushed open and the voice of the housekeeper traveled to her. “Mr. Gu, goodbye.”
