Back Then, I Adored You

When Gu Yusheng finished the last word, the last hint of a smile disappeared from his face. He squeezed the last word out between his teeth. It sounded so cold that it froze the air.

Qin Zhi’ai was scared by his tone, and her heart started to pound. The cruel things he had done to her started to flash like a movie in her head. She was confused and wondered why he had mentioned Lu Bancheng again. She only frowned a little, but didn’t say anything. She sped up her pace.

Gu Yusheng thought in his head, She found excuses to talk to him, but she won’t talk to me. Did she walk that fast to get away from me as soon as possible?

Gu Yusheng almost passed out from being so angry. He suddenly lifted his hand up and pulled his tie off. He whipped it at Qin Zhi’ai, “Are you dumb or just ignoring me? Can’t you hear me?”

The tie brushed Qin Zhi’ai’s neck and gave her a sharp brush burn. Qin Zhi’ai looked like she had been electrocuted. If she had walked fast before, she was practically racing by then, swift as a reflex.

Gu Yusheng stood at the door in anger and was thinking of how to punish her as she ran past him between the glass door without any hesitation. She raced to the staircase as if she was running for her life.

Gu Yusheng was unbelievably peeved at Qin Zhi’ai’s reaction. He clenched his teeth hard and took a deep breath with his eyes closed. He turned around and chased after Qin Zhi’ai.

He had long legs and arms. When Qin Zhi’ai had just passed the study, her hair was caught by Gu Yusheng. Gu Yusheng pulled her back by her hair.

Qin Zhi’ai gasped from the pain. When she reached her hand to the back of her head, she was shoved into the wall by Gu Yusheng with a vicious look.

She didn’t even get the chance to raise her hand to push his hands off of her shoulders before he pressed his weight on her.

He had a vibe of anger and anxiety around him. In fact, Gu Yusheng didn’t know why he was so angry either, but he was furious. He used to have been able to curse when he was angry, but no words would come out of his mouth this time.

He stared at her with a gloomy face. He pressed more weight on her to express and release his anger. He pressed so hard that it seemed like he wanted to press her into the wall.

She couldn’t breath from the pressure he was putting on her. The only bit of air in her chest seemed to be squeezed out. Her face turned red from a lack of air.

The suffocating feeling made her feel weak. The only part of her body that she could move was her legs. She started to kick in the air. When she kicked his lower legs, he frowned from the pain. He looked like he had suddenly remembered something and moved away from her. He grabbed her arms and dragged her towards the master bedroom.

He kicked the door open roughly and dragged her in. He started to search everywhere in the room. The pillows and blankets were tossed everywhere. He dumped the contents of her purse on the table. Lipsticks and hand cream rolled on the floor. He didn’t stop searching until he found her cell phone in the corner of the sofa.
