I ADORE HIM - Season 3 Episode 40

After walking for a while, they saw Gu Yusheng and Lu Bancheng sitting at the outdoor café closest to the gates of the amusement park.

Walking next to Qin Zhi’ai, the housekeeper came over immediately and said respectfully, “Hello, Mr. Gu, Mr. Lu.”

It seemed that Gu Yusheng hadn’t heard the housekeeper. Sitting on the chair leisurely, he held a cigarette that had already burnt out and pressed the butt against the ashtray slowly.

Putting the coffee in his hand on the table, Lu Bancheng raised his head and smiled at the housekeeper. Then he turned to Qin Zhi’ai and said, “Here comes Xiaokou.”

Following Liang Doukou, Qin Zhi’ai called Lu Bancheng “Brother Bancheng.” Then she turned around and looked at Gu Yusheng, who was still playing with the cigarette butt. Upon seeing that he hadn’t raised his head, she said to him gently, “It’s very late now. Why did you ask me to come here?”

Gu Yusheng still gave her no response. With the cigarette in his hand, he draw endless circles with it in the ashtray.

After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Lu Bancheng, who was sitting opposite him, saying, “Is everyone here?”

Qin Zhi’ai and the housekeeper were puzzled over his question, while Lu Bancheng understood what he meant. He nodded and answered, “Yes, they’re all waiting outside.”

He paused for a second and then continued to ask, “Could they come in now?”

Gu Yusheng coldly answered, “Yes.”

Later, Lu Bancheng took out his phone and dialed a number. After the line was connected, he said, “Come in!” Then he hung up.

Apart from them, there were only a few staff members in the park. Without the usual screams and hubbub of tourists, it was extremely quiet there.

Gu Yusheng was still looking down with no expression on his face as he played with the cigarette. After Qin Zhi’ai had come in, he hadn’t looked at her, let alone talked to her.

Holding his coffee, Lu Bancheng took another sip. After he put down the cup, he suddenly realized that Qin Zhi’ai and the housekeeper were still standing, so he invited them to sit down.

Hearing Lu Bancheng’s invitation, the housekeeper drew back the chair beside Gu Yusheng for Qin Zhi’ai. Without refusing, Qin Zhi’ai sat down elegantly.

Sitting close to Gu Yusheng, Qin Zhi’ai then smelled the distinct scent of cigarettes from him.

She frowned and turned to glance at him subconsciously. How many cigarettes has he smoked that the smell is so prominent?

Lu Bancheng didn’t know what Gu Yusheng wanted to do, either. Without speaking like he usually did, he kept silent.

While facing Gu Yusheng, Qin Zhi’ai always talked less. As for the housekeeper, she was only a servant. How dare she start speaking first?

The silence did not break until several black cars stopped on the street in front of the outdoor café.

The doors were opened, and the men in black suits got out first from each car. They opened the trunk and took a simple crate out of it, then placed it on the ground, spread it, covered it with red cloth, and turned it into a simple long table.

Then three tall women got out of the cars. Each of them was carrying a 20-inch box in their hands.

The women went up to the long table made by the men and opened the boxes. One of the men went to Gu Yusheng and said with respect, “Mr. Gu, everything you wanted is here.”
