Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

President Gu, who wanted to scold her but was afraid that he would wake her up, could only leave the room with a cold snort. When he came to the other room, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. A woman had occupied his room and even kicked him. He was actually not angry?

He took off his shirt. There was an obvious footprint on his chest. He hung the shirt up and placed it on the hanger. He could not help but look at it for the fifth time before putting it away and closing his eyes to sleep.

He, who had not been sleeping soundly recently, slept exceptionally well today.

The next day, President Gu, who had regained his domineering demeanor, walked out of the room with a cold expression. The door opposite was still closed. He sat on the sofa with a cold expression and took out the newspaper, but he couldn’t read in a single word.

Ye Zhiqing, who was being thought about, finally woke up. She looked at the white ceiling and the completely unfamiliar room. She widened her eyes and quickly sat up.

She only remembered that she went to wait for Qin Zheng at night yesterday, but she went to the bathroom before she could await him. She didn’t remember what happened after that.

Could it be that she was’ picked up ‘by someone when she was drunk?

She quickly looked at herself and was relieved when she did not find anything unusual. She got off the bed and walked out of the room. She prepared to leave quietly when she did not see anyone. Just as she reached the stairs, she saw a man sitting on the sofa.

Just as she was feeling so awkward that she did not know what to do, the man turned his head.

She gasped. Gu Chen…

With reddened eyes, she quickly arrived in front of him and carefully reached out to touch his face.

Gu Mingcheng, who was about to speak, was shocked by the affection in her eyes. He felt that he had seen this pair of eyes before, but he couldn’t remember.

“Gu Chen.”

This name made his expression colden. He pushed her hand away and said coldly, “I’m not Gu Chen. You’ve got the wrong person.”

Ye Zhiqing, not knowing what to do, stood on the spot. She shook her head and said, “How is that possible? You’re Gu Chen.”

Gu Mingcheng said coldly, “Sorry, I don’t like women getting close to me. Can you stay away from me?”

At this moment, he did not know how much he would regret it in the future.

Ye Zhiqing retreated in a daze. She didn’t know what happened.

“I’m very similar to that Gu Chen you mentioned, but unfortunately, I’m not him. Yesterday, you were drunk and insisted on pestering me, so I brought you back. Since you’re sober, please leave.”

Ye Zhiqing was suddenly confused. Could she really have mistaken him for someone else? But they were exactly the same. Other than their gazes… Gu Chen would not look at her so coldly.

Her eyes turned red, and the joy of regaining something was overwhelmed by the pain of losing it again. The numbness in her heart made her feel that even her breathing was wrong.

She quickly lowered her head and apologized. “I’m sorry, Sir. I was mistaken. I’m sorry for causing you trouble. I’ll leave now.” Towards the end, her voice was choked. She did not dare to raise her head and could only run out with her head lowered.

When Gu Mingcheng saw her tears, his heart suddenly ached.

The sound of card shuffling suddenly came from the door. Cao Ling had just entered when he saw Ye Zhiqing running past him. He exclaimed in shock, “You… Why are you here?”

Ye Zhiqing did not care about his appearance at all and ran out directly. Thus, she missed the chance to comfirm Gu Mingcheng’s identity.

Cao Ling subconsciously looked into the room. Gu Mingcheng’s expression had already returned to indifference. He glanced at him and said, “What’s wrong? Do you know her?”

Cao Ling wanted to shake his head, but he remembered the Old Master’s instructions and nodded. “Yes, you know her too.”

Gu Mingcheng was stunned and asked, “When did I know her?”

Cao Ling pretended to be nonchalant as he said, “You lost some of your memories after the accident. Actually, we went to A City previously and bumped into that woman. She saw you at the nightclub and wanted to be your sugar mama. However, after discovering your identity, she fabricated the fact that you were her ex-boyfriend to get close to you. You got angry and asked me to chase her away. I didn’t expect you to be so persistent and follow you to the capital.”

This was Old Master Gu’s idea. Instead of hiding it and making President Gu suspicious, he might as well say it openly as long as it made President Gu hate that woman.

Gu Mingcheng frowned. Was she such a woman?

Although he didn’t think so, Cao Ling wouldn’t lie to him. He hated women who were pretentious..
