My Mr. Gu is Courting Death Again

“Okay.”

Xu Weilai answered as she walked in and sat on the sofa.

Xiao Chun sat next to her and rested her hands on her knees. She looked at Xu Weilai and asked, “When did the two of you meet?”

Xu Weilai didn’t mention to Xiao Chun the things that happened overseas, so she didn’t know that she had met Big Boss a long time ago.

When she asked, Xu Weilai replied nonchalantly, “There was one time when I was sick and dialed the wrong number in a delirious state. He was worried that something would happen to me, so he came to my apartment and took care of me. Then, in order to thank him, I treated him to a meal, and that’s how we met.”

She said it nonchalantly, but Xiao Chun frowned when she heard it.

Xu Weilai caught a glimpse of her expression. “What’s wrong?”

“You said that your relationship with Big Boss had always been work-related. When you got sick, he took care of you after just one phone call. Lil’ Weilai, Big Boss really… cares about you. Is he…”

“Stop!”

How could Xu Weilai not know what she was hinting at? She cut her off and replied firmly, “No, our relationship is really just that of a subordinate and boss. He doesn’t have any romantic feelings for me, and I don’t have any feelings for him either!”

Her expression was serious, and her eyes appeared very indifferent. Xiao Chun knew that what she said was true. For a moment, she didn’t know whether she should sigh in lament or let out a sigh of relief.

She grabbed Xu Weilai’s hand and thought about it for a moment, then said softly, “Lil’ Weilai, naturally I hope that you and brother Yu can… be together. I hope that the two of you can be happy, but brother Yu is too indifferent at the moment. No one knows what he’s thinking. If you guys no longer have any chemistry, it’s actually a good thing that you can have a new fateful encounter…”

Xu Weilai held her hand. “Chunchun, don’t think about it too much. I don’t have any intention to start a new relationship right now. You know why I came back. I want to know the reason he broke off the engagement three years ago. I also want to know the reason for the divorce three years later. Only after I know these two things can I truly let go and be free. When the time comes, it won’t be too late for me to think about a new relationship.”

“It’s great that you can think like this.” Feeling both pity and heartache, Xiao Chun hugged Xu Weilai. “Lil’ Weilai, you’ve really matured a lot…”

Sometimes, seeing things too clearly was a form of pain, just like how she had felt in the past.

Now, Xu Weilai was the same. She had seen everything too clearly. She knew what she wanted, and she also knew that after getting an answer, she might really let go.

She could only hope that brother Yu wasn’t really that heartless.

–

Two days later, at the Gu Corporation.

Xu Weilai didn’t have official business attire yet, so she had specifically bought two sets yesterday. After putting them on, she combed her hair into a neat ponytail, put on her high heels, and sat in the car with Big Boss. They arrived at the main entrance.

The car stopped, and she got out first. After waiting for Big Boss to get out of the car, she and Qiao Chu, one on his left and one on his right, both followed behind him and entered the Gu Corporation’s building.

They took the elevator to the top floor, then the three of them walked towards the meeting room.

When they reached the door of the meeting room, Xu Weilai swallowed hard and took a deep breath. She then raised her head and puffed out her chest. As the door of the meeting room was pushed open, she walked in.

Big Boss sat directly in the first seat on the left of the main seat. Just as he sat down, Gu Yu’s tall figure walked into the meeting room.
