Chapter 8  : Prince Charming Next Door (8)

“Old Master couldn’t sleep tonight and wanted to take a stroll outside, so he decided that he might as well bring you the bracelet.” Nanny Zhang followed Qin Zhi’ai into the living room.

“Grandpa is here too?” Qin Zhi’ai furrowed her brows. Before Nanny Zhang could answer, she saw the housekeeper passing a cup of steaming tea to Old Master Gu, who was sitting on the sofa.

Qin Zhi’ai hurriedly spoke again. “Grandpa.”

“Mm,” Old Master Gu’s voice was muffled because he was sipping at the tea. He swallowed the tea before saying, “Why are you back so late?”Faced with Old Master Gu, who looked deep in thought, Qin Zhi’ai didn’t seem nervous at all. She opened her mouth to speak again with the utmost calmness, and nobody could see even the slightest sign of deception on her face, “Yusheng always returns home when he’s free, Grandpa. You can ask the housekeeper if you don’t believe me.”

As she spoke, Qin Zhi’ai eyed the housekeeper.

The steward took her hint and immediately chimed in with, “Yes, Old Master, young Master Gu always returns home when he’s free.”

“That’s good then…” Old Master Gu’s expression finally relaxed up upon hearing the housekeeper’s words. He stood up and said, “I didn’t come to discuss any specific matter. Since it’s quite late now, I’ll return home.”

Qin Zhi’ai breathed a sigh of relief, as it seemed that she had gotten away with deceiving Old Master Gu. She replied, “Grandpa, I’ll walk you to the door.”

…

Qin Zhi’ai stood at the door of the house, only returning upstairs after seeing that Old Master Gu’s car had driven out of the driveway.

The housekeeper served Qin Zhi’ai a glass of hot milk before he walked out of the house to lock the gate of the courtyard. He didn’t expect to see that Old Master Gu’s car hadn’t yet left and was still outside the courtyard.

The housekeeper had not yet recovered from his shock when the car window rolled down and Nanny Zhang whispered to him, “Xiao Yang, Old Master wants to talk to you.”magic

The housekeeper hurried forward and greeted respectfully, “Old Master.”
