Back Then, I Adored You-Chapter 73

Qin Zhi’ai walked out of the Gu Mansion with the lunch box in her hand, said goodbye to Old Master Gu with a satisfactory smile, then got into her car and drove slowly toward the Gu Company.

After passing by two traffic lights, she knew she couldn’t still be seen by Old Master Gu, but she still tilted her head and looked in the rearview mirror to make sure that she had driven enough distance from the Gu Mansion, then she turned at the next corner and drove in the opposite direction of the Gu Company.

While in the Gu Mansion, she had never considered taking lunch to Gu Yusheng. What she said and did there were just her wanting to spend time with Old Master Gu.

From the beginning to the end, she had never thought of taking lunch to him.

Rather, she hadn’t even dared to think about that.

In the past, because of the gap in status between them, she couldn’t get into his world, doomed to stand out and look at him from a distance.

But now, with the identity of a noble lady who could match him in every aspect, she still couldn’t get close to him.

Probably, so-called “deep love and heartbreaking fate” was the best description for their story, but she was the only one who had brewed endless love in her heart, and they were fated to be apart.

Qin Zhi’ai suppressed the sadness boiling in her heart and parked the car on a roadside that almost no one passed, then took the lunch box from the passenger seat, opened it, and started to eat alone.

Nanny Zhang had prepared lunch for two, which was impossible for her to finish, but she still tried very hard to eat as much as she could. She didn’t stop until there was not much left in the box.

She leaned against the driver’s seat, raised her hand, and touched her loaded stomach, then put on a pair of sunglasses, took the lunch box and two bottles of mineral water, and got out of the car. First, she poured the leftovers into a trash can by the roadside, washed the box with the water and dried it with tissues, then got back into the car.

After locking the door, she took her phone out and looked at the time. Only one hour had passed since she had left the Gu Mansion, so she flattened the seat, set an alarm clock, and started her midday nap.

The car was parked by the roadside where there were a lot of noises, so she couldn’t fall asleep at all. She was just daydreaming with her eyes closed when the alarm went off.

That meant that two and a half hours had passed since she had left the Gu Mansion… That was long enough for her to have had lunch with Gu Yusheng and driven back.

She could go back to the Gu Mansion with the clean lunch box… Thinking that, she adjusted the seat and started the car.

While her car turned right at the corner in the front of the house, a voice could be heard from a car that was parked opposite of where Qin Zhi’ai had just parked, saying, “Mr. Gu?”
