Xu Weilai glanced at him but didn’t say anything.
Assistant Lin understood and quickly explained, “This… This isn’t a question I asked for President Gu’s sake. I’m just purely concerned about you. If it’s not convenient for you to answer, it’s fine too.”
“I know.” Xu Weilai’s voice sank slightly. She lowered her eyes and kicked a small rock in front of her with the tip of her foot. As if she was talking to herself, she said in a low voice, “He wouldn’t ask either.”
Although her voice was soft, Assistant Lin still heard her.
Yesterday, he thought that after Xu Weilai’s divorce, her expression was so calm that it was as if nothing had happened. Now, it seemed that he was wrong.
Even though Xu Weilai was still very calm at this moment, this sentence was inexplicably bitter. It suffocated his heart and made him feel gloomy.
She clearly wasn’t crying or sad, but he kept feeling that she was crying and feeling sad.
Assistant Lin didn’t have much experience with girls, so he was really helpless at the moment. He even thought that it would be great if he were President Gu. He could just open his mouth and coax the girl to make her happy.
As for him, he simply mentioned the pandora box that couldn’t be opened. Wouldn’t it have been fine if he didn’t mention President Gu…
Even if he wanted to console her, he was afraid that he would accidentally say the wrong thing and make Xu Weilai even more upset. He was so anxious that he was about to stomp his feet. He still had the demeanor of an elite assistant.
Fortunately, Xu Weilai quickly suppressed all her depressed emotions and smiled again. She once again handed the bag in her hand to Assistant Lin. “I’ll have to trouble you with passing this to him.”
Assistant Lin didn’t dare to say anything else. He took the bag respectfully with both hands. “I will.”
The moment the bag was taken, Xu Weilai could clearly feel the weight of something being lifted from her heart. It hurt so much that she smiled again.
Xu Weilai bit her lower lip hard and said, “By the way, after I move away, I’ll put the key to the apartment under the flower pot at the door. You or… Gu Yu, remember to take it.”
Assistant Lin nodded repeatedly. “I got it. ”
“Also, the 100 yuan that I owe you…”
This time, Assistant Lin answered quickly, “There’s no need to return it!”
Xu Weilai curled her lips and took out her phone from his bag. She opened her Wechat chat box in front of him and sent a 100 yuan red packet.
“Remember to take it. I don’t want it from him, and I won’t take it from the people around him.”
Assistant Lin was silent for a moment, but he still weakly retorted, “Miss Xu, I’m really a good man. I’m dating my girlfriend because I want to get married!”
“Oh, then remember to treat her well. Don’t break her heart.”
Assistant Lin suddenly felt shy and lowered his voice, “I got it!”
She had already given her instructions and did what needed to be done. Xu Weilai didn’t stay any longer and said resolutely, “Assistant Lin, you can go up now. I’m leaving.”
Assistant Lin looked up at her and wanted to say something, but in this situation, it was useless to say anything. Since it was already a broken marriage, it was a good thing to be nonchalant.
“Yes, Miss Xu. Drive safe on the road. Goodbye.”
After watching Xu Weilai’s car leave, Assistant Lin carried the bag back to the top floor of the Gu Corporation building and knocked on the door of the CEO’s office.
After hearing “enter”, he pushed the door open and walked in. Holding the bag, he said to Gu Yu, “President Gu, Miss Xu came by just now and asked me to pass this to you.”
Gu Yu was flipping through the documents. Without raising his head, he said aloofly, “Put it aside.”
