Back Then, I Adored You-Chapter 11

“Or did you get too lonely staying here all by yourself, and that’s why you couldn’t wait to make use of my Grandpa, forcing me to sleep with you—the same old trick again?”
The same old trick?
Qin Zhi’ai knitted her eyebrows together out of instinct and tried to defend herself, “I didn’t…”
She started off with two words, but she couldn’t understand what he had said earlier, so she stopped. She looked at Gu Yusheng cluelessly and hesitantly, not knowing how to further explain herself.
However, Gu Yusheng misinterpreted her hesitation as flimsy and weak deception.
“You didn’t?” Gu Yusheng scoffed at her, “Well done! You’ve even learned to tell a lie without blinking!”
He grabbed her hair with even more strength. “Fine. Tell me, how did you lose your bracelet in the mansion at such a perfect time? How did Grandpa find out that I haven’t been coming home for more than a month if he was here just to return your bracelet?”
Qin Zhi’ai finally had a clue about what was going on.
Old Master Gu had come to know that Gu Yusheng hadn’t been coming home since his Hainan trip, but she was very sure that she did an excellent job concealing the truth from Grandpa, back at the mansion and in the house just now. So how did he manage to find out?
Instantly, she pieced everything together.
The housekeeper. There were only two of them there before. Apart from her, the housekeeper was the only one who knew everything. If she hadn’t revealed anything to Grandpa, the only person left was the housekeeper. No wonder his eyes were filled with guilt when he came running up, looking for her…
“What? You’re speechless? Didn’t you say you didn’t?” Gu Yusheng was so angry that he mocked her again. “Good, I didn’t expect you to be smart enough to leave your bracelet at the mansion, luring Grandpa here just to let him find out that I didn’t come back with you at all. Am I right?”
Qin Zhi’ai moved her lips, but she decided to put up with it and kept her silence.
He had probably doubted her in the first place, perceiving her to be the culprit of this entire incident. Therefore, she knew he probably would not believe her, even if she explained that she hadn’t left the bracelet back at the mansion on purpose.
If he wasn’t going to believe her, why bother wasting the effort to explain? Who knows, he might say something more hurtful to mock her.
“You’ve done well tonight, really well…” Gu Yusheng praised her as though it were from the bottom of his heart. He even released his grip and sarcastically clapped twice.
As soon as he finished his third clap, cruelty flashed in his eyes, and the smile on his face utterly vanished. His voice was like the cold wind from the forest. “Since you’ve spent so much effort in getting me home, I will definitely be treating you well tonight!”
At the same time, he pulled her and threw her onto the bed in the crudest manner.
His reaction was so intense that she thought he was going to skin her alive.
Qin Zhi’ai was reminded of that late night more than a month ago.
Even though she loved him, it didn’t give him the right to treat her in such a way. She tried to resist as much as she could.
However, the more she struggled, the harsher he became. The bedsheet was crumpled and messy within a short while. One of the pillows was on the bed, while the other one fell onto the floor.
She was naturally weaker than him in strength, and soon, she was no match for him at all. He tightly squeezed her underneath him until she could barely move. She felt like she was a slice of meat on the chopping board, ready to be cut into pieces.
