Xu Weilai reflexively lowered her head and saw Zuo An’s dry, warm hand on hers. Even though his grip was loose, she felt protected and supported.
A sudden realisation came to Xu Weilai.
She was saddened every time she saw Gu Yu and Zuo Si together. But Zuo An’s hand on hers at this moment felt as if he wanted to tell her he would be there by her side.
Besides that, Zuo An likely wanted to show Gu Yu that she was doing well without him by her side. Although Gu Yu had a beautiful woman by his side, she wasn’t alone either with him by her side.
Actually, Xu Weilai no longer felt as sad after she got used to seeing them together for multiple times. But it was undeniable that Zuo An’s thoughtfulness comforted her.
No one wanted to face a fight alone. Two person taking on the battle side by side would still better than one facing a battle alone.
Xu Weilai looked up at Zuo An and saw him eyeing her with a hint of worries. Her lips curled upward and revealed a faint smile as she said softly, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
She did not shy away from Zuo An’s grip on her hand. Instead, she said, “Let’s go.”
He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw she took it calmly. He nodded, “Okay, let’s go.”
Since Xu Weilai did not shake his hand off, he continued holding onto her hand and led her upstairs.
When Zuo An and Xu Weilai’s figure disappeared from their sight, Zuo Si retracted her gaze and turned to look at the man in front of her. Even though his face showed no emotions, she could tell that the chill in his eyes would have made everyone that came across him wanted to keep away.
Zuo Si sneered, with no intention to avoid offending him, “I’ve heard of the rumours of them in the company. I thought they were just gossips. Apparently, its real that they were getting intimate.”
Gu Yu raised his eyelids and looked at her with indifference.
Zuo Si felt an invisible, dangerous aura enveloped her. The corner of her lips stiffened, but just for a quick moment before she continued her fearless mocking, “No wonder you got anxious and panicked.”
However, her words failed to stir up any emotions in Gu Yu. He acted as if he did not hear her and said to the salesperson, “Simpy pick a necktie from here and wrap it up.”
The salesperson was about to nod when Zuo Si quickly interrupted, “Fine. I won’t talk about it anymore. How could I simply pick one from here? It’s a birthday gift for my father. No matter what, it’s your first time meeting him. CEO Gu, be caution on this.”
Gu Yu raised his arm and glimpsed at his watch. He callously muttered, “I’ll give you ten minutes.”
He turned around and strode out from the shop without waiting for Zuo Si’s reaction to his words.
Zuo Si stared at his leaving figure and bit her lower lip. She was no longer in the mood to pick a necktie for her father. Thus, she handed a necktie in her hand to the salesperson, “This one will do. Wrap it up.”
Zuo An let go of Xu Weilai’s hand after he made sure that they were no longer in the view of Zuo Si and Gu Yu.
His action surprised Xu Weilai. However, the gentleman in him made her felt less awkward. Else, she would appear ungrateful if she was the one to break free from his grip.
Suddenly, Zuo An halted and turned towards her, his face clouded of seriousness.
Xu Weilai stopped on her track as well when Zuo An did, even though she did not know the reason he stopped walking. But his expression confused her, “What’s wrong, Big Boss?”
Zuo An frowned and stared at her for a few seconds. He then enunciated each word that came out of his mouth earnestly.
