My Mr. Gu is Courting Death Again

Chapter 720: They Were Getting Intimate (2)

“Weilai, I did not arrange what happened today. It was really unintentional this time.”

Xu Weilai stood still as his words rang in her ears. It stunned her at first, then she broke down into laughter. She stared at his extremely serious appearance and teased him, “Big Boss, I thought you wanted to tell me something serious when you look so stern. Turn out, you’re concerned over this…”

“I’m a rational person. I can still tell whether or not it was intentional. There’s no need for you to explain it to me deliberately.”

Zuo An looked desolated when he lowered his eyes slightly. “I just don’t want you to misunderstand.”

After a pause, he continued with a hint of self-mockery. “Perhaps you find my explanation ridiculous. Despite that, I still want to explain.”

“Weilai, I don’t know what you think of my feelings for you. After all, we started off on the wrong foot and I came to you with unpure intention initially. I know that you’re wary and are still suspicious of my every action because if this. But I can’t just let you continue feeling the same way, isn’t it?”

The smile vanished from Xu Weilai’s face a little at a time.

She didn’t mean to make fun of him, but he took it a little too seriously. She certainly did not expect him to care so much about it. So much that he would want to explain himself over every teeny bit of matter so that she did not have any misunderstanding towards him.

It was rare nowadays for people to maintain their sincerity and be transparent in a relationship.

For someone that was immersed in the business world for years, scheming and manipulation was nothing new to Zuo An. Thus, for someone like him to be transparent about how he felt towards someone he liked without holding back was certainly shocking and admirable.

Xu Weilai murmured, “I’m sorry.”

She did not take it to her heart, but he did. That was why she felt they weren’t on equal footing.

Zuo An quickly recollected his emotions when he realised it was making her awkward. He gave her a warm smile, “Weilai, you don’t need to apologize. You did nothing wrong. In fact, it was all my fault. I’m giving you pressure, aren’t I?”

“Just do according to what you think is right. I’m the one that couldn’t control myself. It won’t happen again.”

“…”

Xu Weilai bit her lip and was silent for a moment. She clenched her fist lightly and then let go. She looked up at Zuo An seriously and enunciated each word, “Actually Big Boss, what you said was right. Since I agreed to try it out with you, I shouldn’t stay as I am now. It’s unfair to you.”

“Actually, I don’t feel so sad anymore when I see Gu Yu and Zuo Si together. We should continuously move forward as a human. It’s time for me to do the same too.”

After a pause, her tone softened as her mood appeared to have lightened, “Perhaps it won’t be a gigantic leap right away, but I’ll still work hard to move forward. There will be the day I’ll be able stride forward with my head held high and leave the past behind.”

Zuo An certainly had no doubts over her words.

She is Xu Weilai, the girl who could courageously move forward and overcame every trial and tribulations she faced on her way.

The girl who changed other’s perspective from her every breakthrough when life presented her with a difficult situation when she was chasing after news when she was with the press.

A realization came to Zuo An. Now he knew why he had always treated her differently. He would always try to satisfy her requests every time she acted coquettishly towards him. Perhaps it was not entirely due to repaying Gu Yu’s favor.

He stared at her and blurted, “Then…”
