Chapter 167: Read It Word By Word
The housekeeper was right.
She had tried so hard to avoid him just to avoid trouble. However, wasn’t she still in trouble after trying so hard to avoid him?
She decided to do what she wanted. She thought that no matter what she did, she would be in trouble anyway. It couldn’t get any worse than being forced to have sex with him again the next time he got mad at her.
Thinking this, Qin Zhi’ai made up her mind to do what she wanted. She rolled over on the bed so her back faced the housekeeper. She pulled the covers up and covered her head with them.
The housekeeper was so scared that she almost fell on the floor when she saw Qin Zhi’ai’s reaction.
Is Miss testing Mr. Gu’s bottom line? the housekeeper thought to herself.
The housekeeper carefully turned around to take a look at Gu Yusheng. He had his lips pressed together so hard they were turning white. He looked cold, as if he could rush over at any second to tear up the slender woman on the bed.
The housekeeper plucked up her courage and tried to defend Qin Zhi’ai. However, the words came out stuttered. “Gu-Mr. Gu, Mi-Miss is probably not feeling good. I could cook-cook, for her, la-later.”
Gu Yusheng walked into the room before the housekeeper had finished speaking.
The housekeeper’s heart raced. She wondered if Mr. Gu would hit Miss and if she should stop him should that happen. She thought she might get hit if she tried to stop him. All these thoughts went through her mind, but she decided to help Miss, since she had been treated very well by her.
The housekeeper clenched her teeth before she stood up. She was about to stop Gu Yusheng from hitting Miss when Gu Yusheng reached his hands out and pulled the blanket away from Qin Zhi’ai. He bent down and carried her in his arms. Qin Zhi’ai had her eyes closed during this time. He walked out of the master bedroom without looking at the housekeeper and gave her instructions on what to do next. “Can you go downstairs and get dinner ready?”
The housekeeper opened her eyes wide when she saw what had just happened.
Mr. Gu hadn’t gotten mad! He had even carried Miss downstairs. She wondered if he would just give in.
The housekeeper felt her heart pump faster. She looked like she had been struck by something serious. After a while, she patted her chest and ran downstairs.
When the housekeeper walked to the dining room, Qin Zhi’ai and Gu Yusheng had taken their seats at their usual spots at the table.
The housekeeper carried the food to the table and asked, “Mr. Gu, Miss, would you like porridge or white rice?”
“White rice,” Gu Yusheng responded simply. He glanced at quiet Qin Zhi’ai, who had been sitting at the table with her eyes cast down. He added, “She’ll have porridge.”
“Yes, sir,” the housekeeper said. She brought the rice and porridge to the table very quickly.
Gu Yusheng had made Qin Zhi’ai very tired and sore that afternoon. She had only recovered a bit, but still had no appetite. She didn’t even touch her chopsticks with a table of gourmet foods in front of her.
Gu Yusheng took a few bites of food with his chopsticks. He stopped eating when he saw she wasn’t eating at all. He turned his head to the side and watched her for a while before he picked up a piece of fish and placed it in her bowl.
