Back Then, I Adored You

Liang Doukou had always been at odds with Jiang Qianqian. Intuitively, Qin Zhi’ai felt that things couldn’t be as simple as that.

However, at this time, she didn’t know what Jiang Qianqian was trying to do, so she could only take things one step at a time. She held the glass of warm water and slowly took a sip of it. Then she calmly said to Jiang Qianqian, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” With that, Jiang Qianqian seemed to think of something more important. She put her fragrant tea on the coffee table, picking up the bag of the gifts and rummaging in it for a while, then brought out a delicate box. “My dear sister, I almost forgot about this. It’s a gift my brother brought back for you.”

Jiang Qianqian opened the box while saying, “It’s a necklace, how beautiful! It’s the latest Chanel!”

Jiang Qianqian took the necklace out and stared at it for a moment. She tilted her head at Qin Zhi’ai with a friendly smile and spoke again. “Dear sister, let me help you put it on—”

“No… Thank you.” This gift belonged to Liang Doukou, not Qin Zhi’ai.

“Oh, that’s okay. Just try it on.”Jiang Qianqian stood up quickly and rushed behind Qin Zhi’ai, rubbing her shoulders in an intimate manner. She put the necklace around her neck and said, “Dear sister, don’t move too much…”

As Jiang Qianqian spoke, she softly pulled Qin Zhi’ai’s long hair to the side. When she was putting the necklace on for Qin Zhi’ai, her gaze was fixed on Qin Zhi’ai’s left earlobe.

Due to a lack of concentration, Jiang Qianqian still hadn’t clasped the necklace successfully after a long while. Qin Zhi’ai frowned and asked, “Are you finished yet?”

“In a minute…” As she replied, Jiang Qianqian again stared at Liang Doukou’s left earlobe carefully, as if to confirm something, and then hastened to finally clasp the necklace for her. She walked back in front of Qin Zhi’ai wearing an even brighter smile, and as if nothing had happened, said, “Dearest sister, this necklace looks so good on you. You look gorgeous!”

Qin Zhi’ai didn’t care if it was really beautiful or not. Upon hearing Jiang Qianqian’s compliment, she thanked her again with a gentle smile. Immediately after, she took off the necklace and put it back in its box, then noticed that Jiang Qianqian was staring at the TV screen in front of her with her eyes full of excitement. What is she thinking now?

Subconsciously, Qin Zhi’ai thought that Jiang Qianqian was pondering over an evil idea and imagined she could be planning to stir up more trouble for her. However, to Qin Zhi’ai’s surprise, Jiang Qianqian turned her head to say, “Dear sister, I have something else to do. I need to leave now.”

That didn’t seem like something that Jiang Qianqian would do… Qin Zhi’ai’s heart was full of doubt, but then she thought, Either way, I have to leave tomorrow, so I’ll just leave all the grudges with Jiang Qianqian for Liang Doukou to solve.

Thinking about it this way, Qin Zhi’ai didn’t even say any courteous words of farewell to Jiang Qianqian, instead letting the housekeeper walk her out.

…

As soon as Jiang Qianqian left the gate of the community where Gu Yusheng’s villa was located, she immediately pulled over.

She was so excited that her fingertips were trembling when she took out her cell phone. She found Wu Hao’s WeChat and quickly typed a few words in a message to him. “Wu Hao! Hi there!”

She sent another message before Wu Hao replied. “Last time I contacted you, there was one thing that I didn’t dare to tell you, but over the past several days, I paid extra attention to it and realized that it was even more terrible than I originally thought.”
