Back Then, I Adored You
chapter-420

The three words that Gu Yusheng had said were thrown at her too suddenly, and Liang Doukou had no idea at first what he had asked. After swallowing the mango that was still in her mouth, she raised her head blankly and asked Gu Yusheng, “What?”

While giving her an unreadable expression, Gu Yusheng pursed his lips, and his voice was still very calm when he said again, “You know who I’m talking about.”

Gu Yusheng paused, then repeated the words he had just said. “Where is she?”

It took about half a minute for Liang Doukou to realize that he must have been referring to Qin Zhi’ai, her substitute.

After she had come home, she had done nothing. In fact, she had only said a few words to him. How could he have found out that I wasn’t her?

The smile on Liang Doukou’s face became a bit stiff. She looked down and didn’t reply to Gu Yusheng, but her brain was working at full speed.

Zhou Jing had told her that if Gu Yusheng showed any doubt, she didn’t need to panic or admit to anything before he gave her definite evidence.

Liang Doukou subtly swallowed a small mouthful of her saliva and then smiled brightly. Looking at Gu Yusheng, she said, “Yusheng, what are you talking about? I don’t understand anything you’re saying at all.”

Gu Yusheng looked at Liang Doukou calmly, ignoring her words, and asked again, “Where is she now?”

Liang Doukou still kept her bright smile pasted on her face, innocently shaking her head. “Who?”

“Don’t pretend with me. Now that I’ve asked you, I know for a fact that you’re not her. Tell me, where is she now?” Gu Yusheng’s tone had become a little heavy, as if his patience was about to run out.

The smile on Liang Doukou’s face had obviously disappeared. Because of her guilt and uneasiness, she gradually began to hold the spoon in her hand with more and more force. She tried to keep the smile on her face and breathe steadily while she continued to give him a look of innocent confusion. “Who is who? Yusheng, what are you talking about? I really don’t understand what you mean.”

Gu Yusheng hadn’t gotten a clear look at her the first time when he had entered the restaurant, so he hadn’t been sure if she was the real Liang Doukou or not. Then at a second glance, he had already found a clear answer. Just to be more sure, he had spoken to her again and carefully observed her for a third time.

At that time, he had been absolutely sure that the woman sitting in front of him was the real Liang Doukou, not his little troublemaker.

Instead of unmasking her, he went to let the housekeeper to make a mango dessert, just to make himself sure so he could be calm and confident.

I asked her three times, and she’s still playing with me, saying that she didn’t understand what I said? Does she really take me for a gullible three-year-old child?

Obvious sarcasm appeared on Gu Yusheng’s lips. “How could people say that you have no acting skills and that you’re merely a celebrity with a beautiful face? Aren’t you good at acting? Or is it just that today while you’re in front of me, your acting skill has become extraordinary? ”

Liang Doukou could tell that Gu Yusheng was being sarcastic to her. A touch of grief appeared in her eyes, and she spoke softly. “Yusheng, I… I really don’t know what you mean—”

“She can’t eat mangoes.” Before Liang Doukou could finish, Gu Yusheng looked her in the eye and cleanly unmasked her without sparing any of her feelings.

Liang Doukou suddenly swallowed back the words on the tip of her tongue.

Her mouth still tasted of mango.
