Chapter 756: Marry Me (2)
Xu Weilai stared at the magnificent residence in front of her. A look of disgust flashed across her eyes and she reached for the door handle.
She thought Zuo An would not give her any answer on her request.
When she was about to push the door open with one hand, she felt a grip on her other hand.
Xu Weilai paused and turned around, Zuo An had his hand on her slender wrist. His grip was firm, although he did not put in much force.
Xu Weilai did not put up a struggle. She raised her sight until her gaze met his gloomy eyes.
She tilted her head slightly and raised her eyebrows slightly. “Yea?”
Zuo An seemed to have reached a decision as he looked at her gravely. “If you want half of the shares, I can give it to you on my terms. It depends on whether you’re willing to accept it.”
“Your terms?” Xu Weilai repeated.
Zuo An swallowed hard. There was a hint of tremble in his voice. “Marry me.”
“What?”
A sneer emerged from the corner of Xu Weilai’s lips, and she carelessly shook his hand away. “In the end, we still came to exchanging terms. Well, you’re a businessman, and as a businessman you certainly will not make a non-profitable deal.”
“But I refuse.”
Xu Weilai’s looked directly into his eyes as she sized him up, “Zuo An, I will not use my marriage as bargaining chip. At least, you’re not qualified.”
After saying that, she pushed the car door open and got out.
She turned to look at stunned Zuo An after she was standing outside the car, “Let me give you a lesson. Relationships are not business. There’s no such thing as barter trade in a relationship. You can talk about love after you figure out the meaning behind this sentence.”
Xu Weilai slammed the car door with a loud bang.
Zuo An did not chase after her. He watched Xu Weilai’s figure disappeared in front of him. Pain and confusion clouded his eyes.
He touched his heart and felt a faint tingling pain.
He now realised that, not only did he like to see smiles on Xu Weilai’s face, he did not want to see her being cold and distant too.
Forcing her to kill Gu Yu did not mean that she would become his. There was a possibility that the moment she lost Gu Yu, he would lose her too.

Xu Weilai started packing up her luggage the moment she reached Zuo An’s room. She had always been nimble, thus it did not take her long to finish packing. She was walking out with her luggage behind her in the blink of an eye.
When she descended the stairs with her luggage, Zuo An was coincidently walking up the stairs.
They met in the middle, but Xu Weilai continued to descend without even a glance at Zuo An.
When Xu Weilai was at the bottom of the stair, she heard Zuo An’s voice, “Weilai.”
Xu Weilai stopped in her tracks, but she did not turn around.
Zuo An went silent after he called her name. Xu Weilai waited for a moment for him to speak, but her patience seemed to run out after a while as she made her out towards the entrance.
Only then did he continue, “I’ll still tell you the same thing. Giving you half the shares might cause you harm.”
Xu Weilai snorted. “Then we have nothing to talk about.”
“But...”
Zuo An’s footsteps slowly descended the stairs. He approached Xu Weilai slowly, until he was standing right behind her, “I agree to give you half of the shares.”
Xu Weilai raised her eyebrows. She slowly turned around and looked up at him.
Zuo An seemed helpless after his agreement to compromise, but still a glim light flashed in his eyes. “You don’t have to get married, but I still have one condition.”
