Love You Till the End-Chapter 852 - 850: The Fish Has Taken the Bait

Ye Zi boarded Shi Yu and Shen Cheng’s private jet, while Qin Jin chose to go to the airport alone and take a commercial flight.

Just as he arrived at the airport, he received a call from Gu Liancheng, "Jin, why didn’t you tell me you were heading back to Jiang City? I could have accompanied you."

"Your foot injury hasn’t healed yet; you shouldn’t be running around. Don’t worry, I’ll be back in at most half a month."

His unusually gentle voice put Gu Liancheng at ease on the other end of the line. Clutching her phone, she said, "Then, be careful. Finish up your business matters and come back, I’ll be waiting for you at home."

When she said this, her tone was very much like that of a wife speaking to her husband.

Qin Jin responded with a grunt, the corners of his sensual lips curving up, "I’m about to go through security, gotta hang up now."

"Okay." Gu Liancheng’s voice sounded a bit disappointed, but in order not to let Qin Jin notice, she forced herself to hide it, instructing him, "Take care on your journey, don’t wear yourself out with work, and remember to eat, especially breakfast."

Without waiting for Qin Jin to reply, she added, "I don’t like the feeling of being hung up on, so this time, can I be the one to hang up first?"

"Sure." Qin Jin agreed breezily.

"Then, I’m hanging up..."

"Hmm."

"Beep—"

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Qin Jin’s smile faded from his lips, and a layer of indifference tinged his deep-set eyes.

He promptly sent a text message to Shi Yu: "The fish has taken the bait."

On the other end, after hanging up, Gu Liancheng pressed her phone tightly against the region of her heart, which beat rapidly and somewhat wildly.

She knew it was the feeling of her heart racing.

Three years ago, she thought it was merely admiration for Qin Jin, as he was already a very accomplished man back then. She felt such a man was not to be missed, so she took the initiative to confess her feelings to him.

Having been rejected, she indeed felt a bit downhearted, but that feeling of loss had completely disappeared by the time she left Jiang City.

Thus, she was very clear that her feelings for Qin Jin three years ago were neither like nor love, because if it were like or love for someone, it wouldn’t have been so easy to let go, much less to let go so easily.

Meeting him again after three years, he had become even more accomplished; there seemed to be a dazzling light about him, and wherever he went, he was the center of attention.

She wanted to ignore him, but it was only now that she realized she had fallen for him step by step.

Under the onslaught of his tenderness, her heart had surrendered.

At this moment, her phone suddenly rang. Thinking it was Qin Jin calling, she hurriedly checked the caller ID.

When she saw the word "Auntie" displayed on the screen, a flicker of disappointment passed through her eyes.

After hesitating, she adjusted her emotions and still answered the call: "Hello, Auntie."

"Liancheng, what’s been going on these past few days? I’ve been calling and you never answer," said Ye Jin’s voice, sounding somewhat anxious. "I was worried something had happened to you!"

"I’m sorry, Auntie, my phone was broken and I had it repaired. Just got it back today," Gu Liancheng replied with an apologetic tone.

"As long as you’re fine," Ye Jin sighed in relief, then remembering something, she asked, "I saw your company’s exhibition in the news. What happened to you on stage? How did you twist your foot? How is it now, has it healed?" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Gu Liancheng said with a laugh, "Perhaps because I’m not used to wearing very high heels, I wasn’t cautious enough and just fell. Don’t worry, Auntie, it’s nothing serious, I’ve almost completely recovered."
