My Mr. Gu is Courting Death Again

Chapter 732: Girlfriend (2)

Xu Weilai was a person who drew a clear boundary in feelings and relationships.

She either liked him or she did not. There was no such thing as the grey area for her. She knew she had feelings for Zuo An, but she was sure that they were not love.

Although his words and actions moved her on some occasions, but that would be all she had for him and nothing else.

Therefore, Zuo An clarified that she should not feel pressured by his invitation as it was just his gesture of showing her that what he had for her was real and that he wanted a serious relationship with her.

But... how could she accept the invitation?

Xu Weilai’s lips moved slightly, but no words came out. Her fists clenched into balls.

She should have rejected it, but she could not.

Certain matter seemed to cross Xu Weilai’s mind, and little by little, her hesitation and struggles seeped away. Even her clenched fists loosened at that thought.

She raised her head, a hint of compromise appeared in her eyes when she turned her sight towards Zuo An. “Since you put it this way, I’ll feel bad if I reject your good intention in inviting me.”

“You agree to go with me?”

“Yes, work wise, I’m your secretary. Its part of my duty to attend banquets and functions with you. As for personal reason, I gave you my word to try developing a relationship with you, so I’ll have to live up to my words. You’ve taken ninety-nine steps towards me. I would be ashamed to stay where I am and not take even one step towards you.”

Joy surged on Zuo An’s face. He couldn’t control himself and hugged Xu Weilai.

She stood frozen on her track.

Fortunately, Zuo An quickly let her go when he realized he crossed the line. “I’m sorry. It overjoyed me I lost control.”

He took two steps backward and kept his distance from Xu Weilai.

Xu Weilai lowered her eyes and quickly boxed up the emotions in her eyes. She then looked at him with a smile, “It’s okay, I know you didn’t mean it.”

A smile appeared on Zuo An’s face as well, “I’ll get Qiao Chu to book the plane tickets.”

“Okay.”

Three days later, Xu Weilai, Zuo An, and Qiao Chu boarded the plane to S City, southern to the country where Zuo Family Residence was located.

Qiao Chu probably had booked different flights from Gu Yu and Zuo Si on purpose, as they did not meet each other on their flight. Still, they bumped into each other when they were collecting their luggages.

Zuo Si did not seem as cold and arrogant as lips curled into a smile when she saw Zuo An and Xu Weilai.

Although she seemed to have the intention to walk over for some quick words, she had no choice but to turn around and catch up with Gu Yu, who walked straight towards the arrival doorway after he collected his luggages to leave with him.

Zuo family sent two different cars to pick them from the airport.

Zuo Si and Gu Yu took the first car that arrived. Zuo An, who never stuck to trifles, got in the second car with Xu Weilai and Qiao Chu.

A butler came out to greet them when they arrived at Zuo Family Residence.

Dressed in typical English butler uniform, he looked respectful and had no air of arrogant nor servile. He gracefully greeted each of them.

“Miss Weilai, Mr. Gu, and Young Master An.”

He asked slightly inquisitively when his gaze fell on Xu Weilai. “This must be Miss Xu, Young Master An’s girlfriend, am I right?”

Girlfriend.

Everyone’s expression changed at the mention of this word.

“Oh? Miss Xu is your girlfriend...?” Zuo Si glanced at Zuo An, her remarks full of hidden meaning.

Gu Yu’s gloomy eye moved towards Zuo An and Xu Weilai as well, although his face was still with no expression.
