BXBX NOVEL Chapter 26
Chapter 26: Playing Games with Me? (6)
Qin Zhi’ai frowned, suddenly realizing that it was Saturday, the housekeeper’s day off from work.
On normal days, when the housekeeper was in the villa, Qin Zhi’ai was afraid that the housekeeper would suddenly enter the bedroom and find out that she looked different from Liang Doukou. Therefore, she always removed her makeup after the housekeeper went to sleep.
Today, she was home alone, and she assumed Gu Yusheng wouldn’t come back, so Qin Zh’ai threw her suitcase into the dressing room and went into the bathroom as soon as she made it to the bedroom. She turned on the tap, squeezed some cleansing wash on her hands, and wiped her face.
She always wore complex and heavy eye makeup that helped her resemble Liang Doukou. She had to wash her face three times to completely remove the makeup.
Qin Zhi’ai had almost forgotten her own appearance after such a long time disguising herself as Liang Doukou. She took out a towel and wiped the water droplets off of her face. Seeing her own face without makeup in the mirror, she was shocked.
She was comfortable after a hot bath. In the afternoon when she had flown back to Beijing from Hangzhou, she had slept on the plane. Therefore, she wasn’t sleepy at that moment. She stood at the bedside in the bedroom for a while, then picked up her cell phone and walked towards the balcony.
Compared to the cool air indoors, the evening breeze was pleasant and comfortable. Qin Zhi’ai lay on a rattan chair and played with her phone for more than an hour.
When she put the phone away and was ready to sleep, a dazzling headlight from the gate of the villa shone on her face.
Qin Zhi’ai thought it was a passing automobile, so she didn’t pay it any attention and got up from the chair, but she heard the sound of the automobile turning off from downstairs when she had just been about to go into the bedroom.
She frowned and turned her head subconsciously, only to see that Gu Yusheng’s car was parked in the driveway. Xiaowang, his driver, was standing beside the backseat and opening the car door.
Gu Yusheng… Why had he suddenly come back?
Staring at the car downstairs, she was stunned.
This is the first time that I’ve seen him come home when I’m awake.
Her eyes suddenly opened wide, even if the question was still fresh in her mind.
Gu Yusheng… Why exactly had he come back?!
But she had already removed her makeup… What if he saw her later? He would find out her real identity!
Despite her pounding heart, she blinked her eyes in panic and rushed back to the bedroom.
She first ran to the bathroom, then realized that it was now too late to put on more make-up, so she turned around and rushed towards the door.
She had to find a safe place to hide before Gu Yusheng went upstairs.
Qin Zhi’ai opened the door to the bedroom, but heard footsteps on the stairs as soon as she entered the hallway.
