Chapter 664: The Answer (2)
They stared at each other for a few seconds before he turned his gaze to Mrs. Lin and ordered in a slightly hoarse voice, “Get me a glass of water.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
Mrs. Lin hurriedly got up to pour him a glass of water. She walked towards the bedside and adjusted the head of the bed up a little before she handed him the glass of water.
Xu Weilai did not rush him. She waited patiently for him to finish drinking. She pulled a chair over and sat down. Her well-defined pair of eyes stared straight at him as she continued to wait for his answer.
There was already no need for a game of hide-and-seek now. If his action of risking his life for her was not enough to prove his feelings towards her, then the rest of his action previously would have meant nothing.
Gu Yu looked down at the empty cup in his hand. After a moment of silence, he raised his eyelids and looked at Xu Weilai.
“Under the circumstances yesterday, I would have done the same even if it was anyone else.”
From his words, it wasn’t because she was special to him then.
After everything that had happened, he still gave her this answer. Xu Weilai was unsure whether she had expected this answer from him, or not. But she found it satirical. The corners of her lips curled into a smile, she had no intention to hide her sarcasm anymore and bluntly ridiculed him, “Oh, so the usually cold and heartless Young Master Gu has now turned kind? Victory is yours then. I’ve been with you for so long and I didn’t know about this.”
Her words did not change Gu Yu’s expression. He coughed, the hint of weariness appeared between his brows again. He ordered her to leave, “I need to rest. You can leave now.”
“Even when we’ve come to this state, you’re still not willing to tell me how you really feel,” Xu Weilai mocked in a low voice. She then stood up and looked down on him, “Alright, I’m leaving.”
Gu Yu was surprised that she did not pester him any longer. He raised his head to look at her, but only saw her figure from behind as she had already turned and left. His brows visibly knitted together.
Mrs. Lin stood at the side. She couldn’t help but sigh deeply as she saw them parted on bad terms after just a few word exchanges.
From what everyone saw on the surface, they divorced for they had no love left towards each other. But for Mrs. Lin, she watched them since they got together, the rise and fall in their relationship, all the way up to now. She felt that they still love each other dearly.
Xu Weilai walked out of the hospital and stood at the entrance for a little while. She then hailed a taxi, got in, and instructed the driver, “To the Gu Corporation.”
The taxi came to a halt at the entrance of Gu Corporation building. She paid the fare, pushed the door open, and got out. After she reached the top floor of the building, she walked directly to the CEO’s office.
She pushed open the office door and saw that Assistant Lin was sorting out documents. He was probably going to take them to the hospital for Gu Yu.
Assistant Lin saw her and exclaimed, “Secretary Xu, what are you doing here? You should know that CEO Gu isn’t here!”
“I know.”
“Then what are you doing?”
Xu Weilai didn’t answer him. Instead, she closed the office door and locked it behind her.
The clicking sound of the door being locked was clearly heard by Assistant Lin. His eyes widened in shock. “You, you, you... what exactly do you want to do?”
Was she here to exact revenge because of the harsh words he had spoken to her previously?
Xu Weilai strode towards him, one step after another. Assistant Lin retreated in panic but he had nowhere to go as his body was already up against the office desk. He swallowed hard and tried to put on a strong pretense. “Secretary Xu, I’m a man. If you want to fight me, you would be the one at disadvantage.”
Just as he clenched his fists preparing for a fight, Xu Weilai brushed past him and walked behind him. Then, she stood still.
