His words were like an ice - cold bucket of water that splashed mercilessly onto Qin Zhi'ai .

Her body shuddered and her mind went blank .

She thought that their last meeting two years ago , when he had asked someone else who she was , had already been bad enough Little did she know that when they met again two years later , it would be worse .

Qin Zhi'ai stood behind the railing on the second floor . Her eyes were fixed on Yusheng's leaving figure yet she hadn't managed to catch how he had exited the room at all .

Her chest grew tight , her heart heavy . Every time it throbbed , the pain she experienced left her rooted to the spot . When Qin Zhi'ai recovered , she could only hear the faint noise Yusheng's car starting. She suddenly return to the house and see the awkward situation that she was in , so she hastily turned back to the bedroom and closed the door . It was then realised that tears had already blurred her vision .

Qin Zhi'ai waited until she had calmed down and the mist in her eyes had cleared up before she headed downstairs , pretending that she had just woken up .

Miss , you're awake ? " The housekeeper saw her and paused his work immediately .

The housekeeper should have been addressing her as " Madam , " but Gu Yusheng had forbidden him from doing so . The only choice left was for him call her " Miss ."

Qin Zhi'ai wasn't bothered . She kept a serene expression on her face , responding with hum a of acknowledgment and walking towards the dining hall.

The housekeeper usually returned to his own work during Qin Zhi'ai's meal times , leaving her with her food in peace . Today , however , the housekeeper stayed after he had served her dishes and stood still by the table .

Qin Zhi'ai pretended not to notice any difference from usual . With great composure , she started eating her breakfast .

As she finished the porridge in her bowl , the housekeeper standing nearby grew nervous and looked hesitant , as if he had something to say to Qin Zhi'ai . His lips moved several times , but he didn't manage to make even the slightest sound .

It wasn't until Qin Zhi'ai put down her chopsticks that the housekeeper finally spoke up . " Miss ... "

" Do we have contraceptive pills at home ? " Qin Zhi'ai didn't wait for the housekeeper to finish his sentence before interrupting him .

She had was going to say , yet there are some that would strip her of her dignity if they came from the housekeeper's mouth . Even though deep down she was perfectly aware that the housekeeper knew how much Gu Yusheng resented her , she was still reluctant to let others embarrass her in person .

Qin Zhi'ai looked at the housekeeper and quietly added , " If we do , please help me find them . "

The housekeeper was visibly stunned upon hearing her words , but he kept silent and did what Qin Zhi'ai ordered him to do .

Qin Zhi'ai calmly swallowed the pill . She took a tissue to dab her mouth dry and stood up gracefully to exit the dining hall .

Before she could reach the door , the housekeeper suddenly spoke again . " Miss ... "

"Miss, Mr.Gu said that Old Master will be going to Hainan tonight ... " The housekeeper hesitated for a few seconds before he continued , " Mr. Gu also said that now that the person who supports you has left , he wants you not to bother him anymore .

She thought that by taking the initiative to ask for the pills , she would have kept at least some of her own dignity . She hadn't expected that he had given the housekeeper other instructions ...

Qin Zhi'ai's fingertips trembled slightly , but she looked as composed as ever , as if the housekeeper's words were meant for somebody else , and lightly asked,"Anything else?"
