"Miss also said that she had already informed Old Master Gu . "
Gu Yusheng seemed to be surprised at hearing this . He first paused in shock, then turned to look at the mobile phone in his hand, as if wondering if he had misheard . He finally spoke again after a while and replied with an emotionless "Mm" to express his acknowledgement .
The housekeeper was already used to such a long pause, as Gu Yusheng had always been a miser with words, so he politely said good-bye and hung up the phone .
Gu Yusheng held the phone to his ear for a long while before he finally put it down onto his desk and resumed working as if nothing had happened .
-
Ten days later, Qin Zhi'ai flew back to Beijing from the United States .
The plane landed at Beijing International Airport at 10:10 A . M . , Beijing time .
Someone had disclosed her whereabouts, as the airport was filled with fans of Liang Doukou, waiting for her arrival .
Although Qin Zhi'ai wore a mask, one female fan recognized her immediately when she walked out of arrivals .
The girl screamed excitedly, "Ah, Liang Doukou is here—" and then the fans, who had been waiting at the airport, gathered around Qin Zhi'ai like a tidal wave .
In an instant, Qin Zhi'ai's path was blocked .
A group of people crowding together was already conspicuous enough, but with many fans constantly calling out "Liang Doukou," passers-by also came forward to see what was going on .
With the help of her manager, security, and the airport staff, it took a while for Qin Zhi'ai to break free from the crowd and get to the minivan waiting for her .
Many fans gathered around the van and banged on the windows repeatedly . The driver, who was afraid that he would accidentally brush against a fan, only dared to inch forward . Only when the airport staff started to scatter the fans from around the van did the driver speed up and quickly drive away from the airport parking lot .
Qin Zhi'ai was perspiring from being surrounded by the crowd at the airport . Though the van had air-conditioning switched on, the temperature had yet to go down and it was a bit stuffy, so Qin Zhi'ai rolled down the window for some fresh air .
The airport highway was especially crowded, probably due to the number of flights that had landed at that hour . The van stopped constantly and drove for only a few hundred feet . At this point in time, the air in the van had cooled down . Qin Zhi'ai was just about to close the window when she caught a glimpse of a familiar-looking car in the corner of her eye .
Qin Zhi'ai's actions suddenly stopped . She stayed fixated for a few seconds, then slowly turned her head to look at the car .
The window on her side was not closed, and Gu Yusheng could be seen sitting in the driver's seat with a cigarette in one hand and the other moving the steering wheel .
His profile had exceptionally graceful lines, and as the bright sunlight shone through the window onto his skin, it looked flawless and silky . When coupled with the flickering light at his fingertips, the whole picture looked as exquisite as those in the Japanese mangas that Qin Zhi'ai had loved in her youth .
Qin Zhi'ai forgot all about closing the window and started staring at Gu Yusheng .
