No, it had been even earlier. It could have been before she had gone to Paris, or even before she had been kidnapped by Lame w.a.n.g.

Gu Yusheng sat at the table and ate elegantly. He saw Qin Zhi’ai suddenly become quiet as she chewed on the chopsticks so he turned his head sideway to ask her, “What are you thinking?”

Qin Zhi’ai recovered herself from her daze. She turned to look at Gu Yusheng when she heard him talking to her. She shook her head with her chopsticks in her mouth. She opened her mouth and stopped chewing the chopsticks, but as she stopped herself from daydreaming and tried to grab some food, she saw Gu Yusheng’s lips move. It seemed like he wanted to talk.

Qin Zhi’ai thought Gu Yusheng would call her baby again to make fun of her. She scanned the dishes on the table and picked up a quail egg that Gu Yusheng hadn’t touched yet and shoved it into his mouth with no mercy.

Gu Yusheng hated quail eggs. After it was in his mouth, his first reaction was to spit it out. However, he remembered that she had fed him that quail egg, so he forced himself to reject the idea of spitting it out. He slowly chewed the egg and swallowed it down. He slowly picked up the bowl of soup and had a sip before he looked up at Qin Zhi’ai.

Just as he took a sip of the soup, a piece of chicken was shoved into his mouth before he could say anything.

He learned quickly and didn’t give Qin Zhi’ai any time to respond and after he swallowed the chicken down, asked right away, “Why didn’t you use the debit card I gave you in France?”

Qin Zhi’ai picked a piece of potato up and wanted to shove it into his mouth again. Unexpectedly, she didn’t hear him call her baby. It was just a question. She was shocked for a second before she put the potato in her own bowl. She gave it careful thought before she said, “My schedule was tight on those days. I didn’t have time to shop.”

Gu Yusheng believed her and responded with “oh.” He picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a piece of lettuce. He remembered tomorrow was the weekend so he said, “Tomorrow is the weekend. I don’t have any plans. Do you? If not, we can go shopping.”

Shopping? Going out to shop? I’m not in any position to spend his money, Qin Zhi’ai thought to herself.

Qin Zhi’ai’s fingers holding the chopsticks stiffened slightly. She had her head down, staring at the rice in the bowl to calm herself down. She looked up calmly. She said, “I already have plans tomorrow. Zhou Jing asked me to talk about the script.”

Gu Yusheng dropped the topic. His face didn’t change a bit, either. His look made her question if he believed what she had said or not.

Qin Zhi’ai had lied. Sometimes, the more she talked, the more holes would appear, especially considering Gu Yusheng was such a smart guy. It was better for Qin Zhi’ai to stay quiet, so she silently ate her food without speaking.

Without knowing how long they had been quietly sitting at the table, Gu Yusheng was done and put down his bowl and chopsticks. He didn’t move his chair back to stand up and leave like usual. This time, he casually leaned back on the chair and sat there for a while before he turned around to look at Qin Zhi’ai, who had her head down while eating her food.

She probably doesn’t want to go shopping with me. I was such an *ss to her. She won’t feel close to me any time soon. I should take time with her, Gu Yusheng thought to himself.

Gu Yusheng paused for a second before he said, “Okay, do your business tomorrow first. If you finish early, you can ask your agent to shop with you. It isn’t good to stay at home all the time.”
