Chapter 7  : Prince Charming Next Door (7)

The force was so overpowering that Qin Zhi’ai was thrown back a few steps before she slammed against a billboard.

The board was made of extremely durable, solid metal, and she could feel the sharp pain in her back when she slammed into it. She almost cried out.

Qin Zhi’ai closed her eyes and drew a few cold breaths. She leaned against the billboard with her stiff body for quite some time before the pain finally eased.

She straightened her body slowly and walked to the roadside. Gu Yusheng’s car had already left. On the road, there were all sorts of vehicles with flashing red lights, sweeping past her at different speeds.She was so afraid that her attraction to him would become obvious, revealing her real feelings, that she struggled the entire night to remind herself over and over again that it was just an act.

Qin Zhi’ai didn’t realize how long had she stood by the roadside, staring into space, but when she finally hailed a cab home, it was already near eleven o’clock.

The lights in the living room were on. Qin Zhi’ai assumed that the housekeeper was still awake and didn’t think about it too much when she dialed the password to unlock the door.

Someone from inside who had probably heard the sound of the door came to receive her. Qin Zhi’ai supposed it was the housekeeper, so she didn’t look at the source of the noise. While she was putting on her slippers, the person spoke. “Young Mistress, welcome back.”

Qin Zhi’ai froze for a moment, stiffening up a little before she looked at the person. The one who had come over wasn’t the housekeeper, but Nanny Zhang.

Qin Zhi’ai didn’t have the chance to ask why she was there, as Nanny Zhang explained first, “Young Mistress, you left your bracelet in the washroom while you were having dinner earlier.”

As she was speaking, she handed a stunning, exquisite pearl bracelet to Qin Zhi’ai.

When Qin Zhi’ai reached out for the bracelet, she suddenly recalled that she had left it while she was washing her hands before the meal. As it was cumbersome, she had taken it off and left it there. Subsequently, Gu Yusheng had called her out for dinner, and she went without remembering to grab it.

“It’s just a bracelet. I can retrieve it the next time I return to the mansion. It’s too late for you to deliver it.”magic
