Back Then, I Adored You
Chapter 214: He Has Changed a Bit Every Day (4)

Gu Yusheng didn’t text him back and pretended that he hadn’t even seen it. He put the phone into his pocket, then told Qin Zhi’ai what he had intended to tell her later, “Come to a party with me tonight.”

…

When Qin Zhi’ai heard what Gu Yusheng had said, she first thought that Gu Yusheng was asking her to a dinner party like the last time. However, when she arrived at the suite of the Four Seasons Hotel, she finally knew that the party Gu Yusheng had meant was just a bunch of his friends having fun together.

Qin Zhi’ai had seen a party like this once, when she had been caught in a downpour and taken to the Four Seasons Hotel by Gu Yusheng.

But that day, she hadn’t joined the party, only glimpsed at it through the door.

She had never expected that she would be invited to the party, because parties like this belonged to the sphere of Gu Yusheng’s personal life. He was eager to keep away from her, so why would he bring her to a party like that?

So when they entered the suite, Qin Zhi’ai turned her head and looked at Gu Yusheng in surprise.

Gu Yusheng seemed to have guessed that she might be confused, so after he greeted Master Wang, he moved his lips to her ear while taking her inside the room with his arm around her shoulders, and explained in a whisper, “There are several of my friends that you get along well with. It was them who asked me to take you here.”

Hearing that, Qin Zhi’ai finally noticed that on the sofa near the windows were severals ladies sitting in luxurious dresses.

When Qin Zhi’ai had started disguising herself as Liang Doukou, she had made some arrangements and gotten a basic understanding of Liang Doukou’s situation. Qin Zhi’ai definitely knew those ladies, for some of them were relatively good friends of Liang Doukou.

One of them whose family name was Lin had sharp eyes, for she was the first one to see Qin Zhi’ai. She immediately stopped chattering with the others, waved at Qin Zhi’ai, and shouted, “Xiaokou.”

Then all the others turned their heads to look at her, warmly greeting her one after another, and asked her to sit with them.

Gu Yusheng didn’t follow her, but pulled her hand and said to her, “You have fun with them, I’ll be over there.”

Then after Qin Zhi’ai nodded, he let her arm go.

Now that Qin Zhi’ai was disguised as Liang Doukou, she had to act intimately with these people. In addition, even if she didn’t know them well, she still had to respond actively to their warm greetings.

Thus, without any hesitation, Qin Zhi’ai smiled at those ladies and pretended to be delighted. She walked in her high heels over to them and made small talk with them.

Sure enough, hanging out and talking with people always makes people happy… Without walking away, Gu Yusheng stood in the same place and stared at Qin Zhi’ai, who was talking and laughing with a group of ladies. He was relieved, then turned around and walked to Lu Bancheng.

…

The dinner proceeded with joy and excitement.

After dinner, Gu Yusheng saw Qin Zhi’ai talking excitedly with a young lady, but he had no idea what they were talking, so he didn’t interrupt them, but went directly to the card table in the back room with Lu Bancheng.

Gu Yusheng had good luck with cards that day, so he won several times in a row. Facing the complaints of Lu Bancheng, he just glanced at him carelessly. He remained silent, his eyes cast on the cards in his own hand.

When Gu Yusheng had won nearly ten rounds, the phone of Master Wang, who was sitting to the right of Gu Yusheng, started ringing.
