Chapter 729: Love without Knowing (1)

She leaned towards Zuo An slightly as she spoke and moved her red lips close to his ear before she replied with clarity, “Since you care so much about Xu Weilai, father hopes that you could bring her along to his birthday party. He wants to see for himself what’s so special about her that could make you so carried away.”

Zuo An’s lips curled up into a smile, but there was no sense of good humour in his eyes. “It must have been hard on you to come all the way here to break this news to me,” he replied in his usual gentle voice.

Despite Zuo An’s deliberate attempts to suppress his anger, Zuo Si could still sense the icy aura that he was emanating.

“Not at all. I’m happy to do it,” Zuo Si replied.

She then raised her hand and rearranged Zuo An’s shirt collar with her beautiful, slender fingers. Although was smiling gently and behaving intimately with him, the way she looked at him was as frigid and sharp as a knife blade.

“Zuo An, I’m actually very happy that you managed to find someone you like. Don’t worry, Miss Xu is a nice lady and I’ll definitely support you. If you do bring her to the banquet, I’ll help to look out for her as well. I wouldn’t lay a finger on her.”

Zuo Si then patted Zuo An’s cheek once again before she flashed him an even more charming smile than before and continued, “Zuo An, it’s been a long time since you’ve done something that pleases me. Keep up with it.”

In the next instant, Zuo An grabbed hold of her wrist and when his gaze fell on her face, he was already wearing his usual gentle and elegant expression. Widening his beam, he replied, “I’m a little tired. If you’re done talking, then I’ll head upstairs to rest. Do you need me to get someone to send you back?”

“That’s unnecessary,” Zuo Si snapped.

She then broke free from his grip unhurriedly and put on her sunglasses before she raised her chin arrogantly and retorted, “I’m afraid that your men will deliberately get me into a car accident on my way back. I’d leave on my own for the sake of my safety.”

With that, she turned and left gracefully.

Zuo An remained rooted to the spot for some time before he eventually took a deep breath and made his way towards the elevator.

...

Xu Weilai did not camp at home throughout the entire weekend. Instead, she arranged to catch up with Xiao Chun over a meal. They even watched a movie and shopped for the most part of the day.

Nobody stalked her anymore ever since that day. If her conjecture was right, those people were likely related to Zuo An’s father and Zuo An was probably the one who settled the matter.

Xu Weilai felt certain that this was simply a small issue if it could be settled so easily.

Thus, she quickly moved on from the incident. After all, her relationship with Zuo An was still in its early stage whereby things were ambiguous and she does not think that it would be sufficiently important to be of concern to his parents.

Monday arrived after a pleasant, well-spent weekend.

Xu Weilai passed by a Starbucks outlet on her way to work and popped in to get a cup of latte and a cup of Americano for Zuo An and herself.

Her boss had been worried about her during the weekends and had visited her and even helped to bandage her wounds. As she does not know how else to thank him, she decided to get him a cup of coffee as a token of gratitude.

Holding onto the two cups of coffee, Xu Weilai walked over to the door to his office and just when she was about to knock on the door, she caught sight of Qiao Chu through the French window beside her where the blinds were not drawn. Qiao Chu was standing in front of the desk and when Xu Weilai realised that he was engaged in a conversation with Zuo An, she retracted her hand and returned to her desk.

She decided to deliver the coffee to him after they were done with their conversation so as not to interrupt them.

...

Meanwhile, a pile of photos were spread out across Zuo An’s desk in his office.

Qiao Chu had brought them over and Zuo An stared intently at them.
