Chapter 3  : Prince Charming Next Door (3)

The housekeeper answered, “No.”

Qin Zhi’ai didn’t utter a word, leaving quietly.

…

It was one in the morning. It seemed like Gu Yusheng, again, wouldn’t be coming back that night.But he asked me not to bother him with anything. The words were at the tip of her tongue, as she wanted Nanny Zhang to make the call instead. However, she recalled the warning that Gu Yusheng gave her on the day she moved in.

He said that his Grandpa was his only remaining family in the world. If she hadn’t used despicable methods to persuade his Grandpa, he wouldn’t have had to be with her under his Grandpa’s orders. He also wouldn’t have bothered to look at her, let alone stay under the same roof.

He added on that he wouldn’t forgive her if his Grandpa found out about their sour relationship and worried.

If she asked Nanny Zhang to call Gu Yusheng instead, it would be evident that they were on bad terms, since they were living together. Moreover, Nanny Zhang had served Old Master Gu for so many years…

Qin Zhi’ai struggled for a moment before she decided to swallow what she initially wanted to say. She changed her mind and said, “Nanny Zhang, I’ll tell Yusheng.”

After she hung up the phone, Qin Zhi’ai sat up on her bed. She looked for his number on her cell phone, hesitating for quite some time before she dialed.

As she heard the dial tone from the phone, Qin Zhi’ai was so nervous that she couldn’t breathe.

One… two… three… at the fourth ring, the line was cut on the other side without any hesitation.

Gu Yusheng had rejected her call…

She pursed her lips and didn’t attempt to make another call. Instead, she composed herself and sent him a text message. On her phone, the message didn’t appear to have sent, so she gave him a call again. However, it wasn’t the sound of the dialing tone this time—the line was busy.magic
