448 The Unforgettable Deep Love 8

Gu Yusheng will certainly take part in Lu Bancheng's birthday party...

As the words Gu Yusheng flashed through Qin Zhi'ai's mind, somehow she recalled what she had heard by the door of the Ladies' Club before she and Liang Doukou had switched identities.

"Are you kidding me? How could I possibly like her?"

"You've thought about it too much. I'm only interested in her body. I just enjoy sleeping with her. I don't have any other intentions."

Though three months had passed, she could still remember deep down feeling suffocated and in pain.

She gripped her chopsticks with slowly increasing strength, and her eyes looked down, her face a little pale.

Xu Wennuan noticed that Qin Zhi'ai's behavior was somewhat strange, so she stopped eating and asked with concern, "Xiao'ai? What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Qin Zhi'ai shook her head, afraid that Xu Wennuan would see the loneliness in her eyes, so she didn't dare to raise her head to meet her gaze. After a few seconds, she said, "It suddenly occurred to me that the head teacher asked me to see her the day after tomorrow. You know, I haven't taken classes for a long time, and there are many school things I have to deal with, so I'm afraid there's not enough time."

Some feelings were doomed to be unforgettable, but there silly things that she couldn't do again.

Eight years earlier, in order to get close to him, everytime Xu Wennuan had asked her to go out, no matter how many important things she had to do, she would rush to see him at once. But now, she was no longer that silly girl from eight years ago.

What was more, he was married now. Even if she went to that party, it still wouldn't change anything. It would only create more sorrow.

All she had to do now was cherish all the good memories of him in her heart and live a good life, not thinking about lost opportunities.

"Well..." Xu Wennuan had obvious regret in her voice. "I intended to take you to the yacht with me."

"That's all right. There will be many more opportunities in the future." After adjusting her emotions as well as she could, Qin Zhi'ai raised her head to Xu Wennuan, giving her a gentle smile.

"All right," Xu Wennuan reluctantly agreed. After a while, she tentatively added, "If you're not busy that day and you still have time, don't forget to tell me. I'll pick you up so we can go together. If you really don't have time, then I won't force you to go."

Qin Zhi'ai was wearing a smile, and her look was the same as usual. "Well, okay."

…

Qin Zhi'ai didn't go to Lu Bancheng's birthday party in the end.

She had left home in the afternoon. At 5:30 in the evening, Xu Wennuan had called her and asked her if she was still busy.

She had lied to her. She had been at a KFC reviewing the notes that she had nearly forgotten due to her time off from classes. It wasn't until Qin Zhi'ai saw the pictures from Lu Bancheng's birthday banquet posted on Xu Wennuan's WeChat feed that she picked up her belongings and returned home.

Qin Zhi'ai took a bath first, then sat on the sofa and reviewed the rest of her lessons. She checked the time, yet it was still early. She turned on the TV and watched a sensational film based on a book. It was almost twelve o'clock when the film ended.

She thought that Xu Wennuan wouldn't come back home immediately, so she turned off the TV and lights in the living room, went back to her bedroom, and went to sleep.

Soon after falling asleep, Qin Zhi'ai was woken up by the doorbell.

At first, she thought she was dreaming. She opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling for a moment, then she heard the doorbell again, so she quickly lifted her quilt and jumped out of bed.
