“You’re just brushing me off.”

Xu Weilai was indeed drunk. Her words were direct and even her dissatisfaction was clearly written on her face. She sat up straight all of a sudden and stared at Zuo An with her wide eyes, “Then tell me, do you have a reason to be sad?”

Although he knew that she was unreasonably pestering him, Zuo An was not annoyed. It was probably because he had never seen her like this.

The sober Xu Weilai would occasionally act cute or coquettishly, but most of the time, she was overly mature and rational. She was young, but her mind was too matured for her age.

But today at this moment, she seemed to act her age, a young girl in her twenties.

As Zuo An looked at Xu Weilai’s current self, he unconsciously also let down his guard around her. He tugged at his tie and relaxed a little. His tone also became lazy, which was rare. He replied, “Of course there’s always a reason for me to be sad.”

His words piqued Xu Weilai’s interest. She tilted her head and blinked her eyes, full of curiosity. “What’s the reason? Tell me.”

Zuo An was just thoughtlessly speaking to accommodate Xu Weilai, but she took it seriously. What could he tell her on his reason to be sad? Moreover… it had been ages since he had such emotion. In fact, too long.

Nope. It was not that he did not have such emotion. He could not have such emotion.

Something seemed to flash through Zuo An’s mind, he nodded with a hint of self-mock in his eyes, “You’re right. You don’t necessarily need a reason to be sad.”

Xu Weilai seemed joyful after Zuo An’s agreement with her statement. Her smile was so wide that her eyes curved into the shape of a crescent moon. She even said proudly, “Right? It’s the right choice to listen to me.”

Zuo An gazed at her smiling face. She was smiling like a child although there were still traces of tears on her face. Such expression made others smile involuntarily as well.

There was no reason to smile at all, but he couldn’t help smiling along with her, the smile came sincerely from deep inside his heart.

Xu Weilai laughed foolishly for a while. Suddenly, something came into her mind. She looked left and right to make sure that there was no one else nearby. Then, she moved closer towards Zuo An’s ear and whispered, “Big Boss, why did you want to get to the Gu Corporation?”

Zuo An’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn’t answer.

Xu Weilai burped and continued to speak recklessly as if they were close friends having a heart-to-heart talk. Her voice was still very soft, “For me, I wanted Gu Yu, the heartbreaker under my feet. But what did you do it for? For glory and wealth? But you’re already very rich. For social status? You don’t look ambitious or aggressive. Or is it just like how I hate Gu Yu, you hated Zuo Si too, and you don’t want to take away what she wants?”

In between stammers and pauses, she finished her sentences.

Her speech was too smooth to be a drunk, and yet if she was not, it was so not her to have said such probing words so obviously. She would be revealing herself too much.

Zuo An pondered for a moment. Suddenly, his hand reached out to Xu Weilai’s neck from the back. With a little force, Xu Weilai’s entire body leaned toward him. Their faces were now inches away from each other.

Xu Weilai blinked and stared at him in confusion. She did not notice the distance between them had exceeded the safety line. She neither retreated nor made any movement to avoid. She just stared at him and waited for his answer.

Zuo An had always been gentle and modest. He was as calm as flowing water and appeared harmless at all times.

However, there was a slight hint of a murderous look in his eyes when he gazed at Xu Weilai at that moment, which was the total opposite of the image he usually portrayed. He opened his mouth and enunciated. “Xu Weilai, your question crossed the line.”
