Back Then, I Adored You
chapter-169

Gu Yusheng had spoken in anger.

He had regretted it immediately after he said it.

He had thought she wouldn’t leave in that kind of clothing, but she seemed a lot braver than he thought. She left the house without any hesitation.

As she slammed door, Gu Yusheng stood up from his chair on reflex.

The housekeeper hurried in as Gu Yusheng was about to kick the chair behind him. She said, “Mr. Gu, Miss just left.”

Gu Yusheng didn’t realize he was about to chase after her until he was called to by the housekeeper.

Gu Yusheng looked like he had been struck by a punch and was rooted to the ground.

“Mr. Gu, don’t fight with Miss when she’s dressed like that. What would you do if something happened to her?” The housekeeper’s nagging forced Gu Yusheng to regain his composure. The fact that he had lost control of his composure made Gu Yusheng angrier. He yelled at the housekeeper, “What are you talking about? She’d better die if anything happens to her. I don’t want her to come back, ever.”

The housekeeper didn’t dare to say anything after being scolded by Gu Yusheng. However, she was still worried about Qin Zhi’ai, so she kept looking out the window to check if she was there.

Gu Yusheng glanced out the window when he saw the housekeeper looking out as well.

There was no one in the dimly lit yard. She had ran out of the house and disappeared in the yard quickly.

Gu Yusheng started to feel anxious for no reason. He kicked his chair to the ground behind him and ran upstairs.

The housekeeper didn’t dare to bother him. She tried to say something a few times but in the end, didn’t have the nerve. As Gu Yusheng had almost walked to the top of the staircase, the housekeeper finally plucked up her courage and said, “Mr. Gu…”

Gu Yusheng was upset and grew angrier when he heard the housekeeper’s cry. He stopped and turned around to stare at the housekeeper from the top of the stairs. He scolded her again. “What about it? Why do you keep calling me? Do you think she’ll be back if you call me? Are you blind? Didn’t you see her in her pajamas when she ran out? What are you standing here for? Hurry up if you want her back. Are you dumb?”

The housekeeper was scared and shocked by his scolding. Gu Yusheng complained with his teeth clenched, “I spent so much money to hire an idiot.”

He turned around and walked upstairs.

He immediately took out a cigarette and lit it after he went into the study. He kept peeking out of the balcony to check on Qin Zhi’ai as he smoked.

It was quiet in the yard. The housekeeper had gone out to chase Qin Zhi’ai, but had not come back yet.

It was almost ten o’clock. She was wearing pajamas and had no money, cell phone, or car keys. He wasn’t sure if the housekeeper would find her.

The anger in Gu Yusheng was suddenly replaced with worry.

He started to become anxious. He couldn’t sit or stand still. He walked back and forth on the balcony with a cigarette between his fingers.

The time that had passed wasn’t too much, since he had only burnt half of the cigarette, but Gu Yusheng felt like it had been a century.

The longer he waited, the more anxious he was. When he lifted up his hand to take a puff, he almost put the burning end into his mouth. He was upset and stubbed the cigarette out. He turned around to walk back to the room to find his cell phone and call the housekeeper.
