Zuo An raised his hand and beckoned for the waiter. After paying the bill, he stood up and said to Xu Weilai, “Let’s go for a walk. Let’s chat while we walk.”
“Okay.”
Xu Weilai also stood up and walked out with him.
Outside the restaurant on the mountaintop, there was a small path that led to the mountaintop. From there, one could overlook the night view of the entire city.
Zuo An suggested softly, “Shall we walk up?”
Although he sounded like he was asking, he was already walking in that direction. Xu Weilai could only raise her foot and follow him.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, the two of them stood at the top of the mountain. Although Xu Weilai had come to the restaurant with Gu Yu before, she had never been here before. Now that she was standing there and looking at the beautiful night view, the complaints in her heart lessened a little.
The scenery was really pleasant. If she were in a different state of mind, she would definitely be able to appreciate it in detail. However, at this moment, she wasn’t in the mood.
“Big Boss…” she opened her mouth and spoke again.
Unexpectedly, Zuo An also spoke at the same time, “Xu Weilai.”
The two of them instinctively looked at each other, then Zuo An continued, “Just now, you saw Gu Yu and Zuo Si together. Are you still sad?”
Still sad…
Xu Weilai pondered over the word “still.” The night of the cocktail party slowly surfaced in her mind. After she got drunk, she was so sad that she went crazy. Zuo An saw all of her actions, so… that was why he asked this question?
What kind of answer did he want?
Xu Weilai thought about it for a moment, and instead of answering, she asked, “Do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to hear the lie?”
Zuo An curled his lips and threw the question back to her. “What do you think?”
After more than ten seconds of stalemate, Xu Weilai said, “The truth is, I’m sad.”
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to tell the lie, but if she did, no one would believe her. She couldn’t lie to herself, and she couldn’t lie to Zuo An either. She was smart, and Zuo An wasn’t stupid.
Xu Weilai didn’t know if it was her imagination, but when she said this, she inexplicably felt that Zuo An’s gaze had softened.
Zuo An looked at Xu Weilai and unwittingly clenched his fists. There seemed to be some struggling emotions in his eyes. Finally, he made up his mind and said, “Xu Weilai, since you’re so sad, why don’t you… stay away from him?”
Stay away?
When this word came out of his mouth, Xu Weilai’s first reaction was amusement.
She was already far away from Gu Yu to begin with. It was he who had used all his efforts and methods to forcefully push her back into Gu Yu’s life. Now, he said that he wanted her to stay away from Gu Yu?
But when she met his eyes and saw his gaze, she frozemuse.
He seemed to be serious…
Xu Weilai couldn’t hold it in. Her eyes were filled with immense ridicule and she didn’t hold back her words. “Big Boss, what are you up to this time? Without your encouragement, I wouldn’t be here.”
Zuo An pursed his lips and said, “I admit that I invited you here for dinner tonight on purpose. I knew in advance that Zuo Si had booked this restaurant and would be having dinner with Gu Yu, so you would definitely run into them.”
“I wanted to know if you were still sad because of Gu Yu, and in fact, you were very sad.”
“Xu Weilai, if you stay in the Gu Corporation, you’ll always see Gu Yu. You’ll always be sad. Right now… I don’t want to see you sad.” Zuo An lowered his voice. “Are you willing to resign and leave the Gu Corporation?”
