Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

At the end of the day, Gu Yusheng is the one with the poor taste, not the others! Like I said, I’m not lacking educational qualifications, and I even did an internship at Hui Shi, so why was it so difficult to find a job? And now I know! He’s been pulling strings against me behind my back!

Qin Zhi’ai, who now finally understood what was going on, was still kneeling on the floor when the housekeeper appeared at the door of the study. “Madam, Mr. Gu is back.”

“Okay.” Qin Zhi’ai returned to her senses and gave the housekeeper a smile. She swiftly gathered all the fallen documents, placed them on the desk, and grabbed the three questionable documents she had just seen. She hid them behind her back and strolled out of the study.

Before she could reach the master bedroom, Gu Yusheng ascended the staircase with their daughter in one arm and a doll in the other. As he stepped on the landing of the second floor, seeing Qin Zhi’ai put a warm smile instantly on his face. “Xiao’ai!” he said enthusiastically.

Qin Zhi’ai generously returned Gu Yusheng’s smile, pushed open the door to the master bedroom, and gestured politely at Gu Yusheng to enter. “You came back at a good timing. There’s something I want to show you,” she said.

Gu Yusheng’s smile grew wider as he stepped toward Qin Zhi’ai. “Xiao’ai, did you buy me a present when you went shopping today?”

Qin Zhi’ai realized that her statement had not been entirely clear. Instead of picking up on Gu Yusheng’s topic, she rephrased with a dazzling smile. “Oh, my bad. I meant I have three things to show you.”

Why is she smiling so happily?

Gu Yusheng felt that something was wrong. He halted his footsteps and stared at Qin Zhi’ai. “Xiao’ai, I’ll like whatever you buy for me as long as it’s from you,” said Gu Yusheng gently.

“Is that so? Then I hope you will really like what I have to show you.” Qin Zhi’ai curled her lips at Gu Yusheng and asked him to follow her as she stepped into the master bedroom.

Gu Yusheng, who was holding their daughter, stood hesitating in the corridor for a moment and then whispered, “Little peanut, your mother is a bit—”

Before Gu Yusheng could finish his statement, Qin Zhi’ai’s sweet voice came drifting out of the master bedroom. “Hubby?”

Gu Yusheng substituted “beautiful” for “strange” when he finished his statement and then hurriedly picked up his pace and entered the master bedroom.

After shutting the door, Gu Yusheng leaned against it, keeping a safe distance from Qin Zhi’ai, who was sitting on the couch. She turned her head to glance at him and then smiled sweetly, saying, “Come over here.”

Gu Yusheng instinctively pressed himself against the door before he finally forced himself to walk over to Qin Zhi’ai. When she started frowning at his slowness in acceding to her request, he finally stood before her, beaming from ear to ear. “Xiao’ai.”

Qin Zhi’ai responded with a “hmm” and patted the empty spot beside her without looking at him. After looking left and right, he finally walked forward to sit down, still holding their daughter, as far away as possible from Qin Zhi’ai.

Just when he was about to sit, Qin Zhi’ai’s gaze drifted to him slowly. Gu Yusheng jolted up and instantly rushed to the spot she had just patted. He sat down before turning his head and blinked innocently at Qin Zhi’ai. “Xiao’ai, what kind of present do you want to give me?”

Qin Zhi’ai casually picked up one of the documents hidden behind her and raised it before his eyes. She started reciting its content in a gentle voice. “SD Company Acquisition document, Purchaser: Gu Yusheng; Price:…”
