Gu Yusheng had never used that box cutter to open a package yet. Gu Yusheng tried to make the move very subtle so Qin Zhi’ai wouldn’t notice it. The thread next to the zipper was easily cut off by him.
He was afraid of getting caught, so he didn’t immediately leave Qin Zhi’ai’s shoulder.
Seeing that they were close to their destination, Gu Yusheng was afraid the dress wasn’t ruined enough. He took his opportunity as she was distracted and poked at the fabric with the knife.
…
The party was at the Peking Clubhouse.
Cars stopped in the underground parking lot. Gu Yusheng still had his eyes closed. He didn’t get out of the car until Xiaowang reminded him, “Mr. Gu, Miss Liang is here.”
Gu Yusheng slowly opened his eyes. He didn’t immediately leave Qin Zhi’ai’s shoulder. Instead, he rested himself on her shoulder and pretended that he had just woken up. Gu Yusheng had a confused look on his face and turned around to look at Qin Zhi’ai’s face sideways.
To make it look more real, Gu Yusheng stared at Qin Zhi’ai’s face for a while on purpose. He pretended that he just realized he fell asleep on her shoulder. He made a humming sound and straightened his back. He pretended he didn’t know and asked, “We’re already here?”
“Yes,” Xiaowang answered. He immediately got out of the car and opened the car door for them.
Gu Yusheng exited the car casually and stood by it. He straightened his tie that he had pulled loose before he looked back at Qin Zhi’ai, who followed him and got out of the car.
The thread next to the zipper on her side was cut off and showed pieces of her fair and smooth skin. It looked very obvious and obscene.
Gu Yusheng stopped tying his tie on purpose for a second to stare at Qin Zhi’ai’s waist with furrowed eyebrows.
Xiaowang closed the door and noticed that Gu Yusheng hadn’t left yet. He looked at Gu Yusheng in confusion and noticed his weird look. Xiaowang felt his heart miss a beat. He followed Gu Yusheng’s eyes to look at Qin Zhi’ai’s waist.
Xiaowang reminded Qin Zhi’ai without any hesitation, “Ms. Liang, your dress’”
“Huh?” Qin Zhi’ai looked at Xiaowang in confusion. When she saw him moving his eyes away but pointing at her waist, she finally turned around to look at her dress.
She had checked the dress before. It was intact when she had picked it. The dress was Liang Doukou’s size, so it looked a little loose on her. How had the thread next to the zipper broken?
Qin Zhi’ai frowned and wondered what had happened. She suddenly realized she had come to this party with Gu Yusheng, but her dress was ruined. Suddenly, she felt butterflies in her stomach.
She unconsciously held her purse tightly. She carefully took a look at Gu Yusheng. As she was thinking of how to explain to him, Gu Yusheng quickly tied his tie and asked Xiaowang to run some errands for him. “Can you buy a new evening gown for her and book a hotel room so she can wait for you there?”
“Yes, Mr. Gu.” Xiaowang led Qin Zhi’ai to the staircases.
When Xiaowang passed him, Gu Yusheng stopped Xiaowang and whispered in his ear with a volume that only the two of them could hear. He whispered, “Remember to buy a more conservative evening gown. Don’t buy anything showing too much skin, otherwise there will be no difference from wearing nothing.”
