  Xu Weilai’s eyes seemed to redden right after saying this. All of a sudden, as if she was afraid that she would break down, cupped her hands over her mouth and dashed off.

  “Miss Xu!” Assistant Lin called after her worriedly.

  Just when he was contemplating if he should give chase and comfort her, Zuo Si appeared by the door to the office. When she noticed the cup of coffee that he was holding onto, instructed, “You could pass me the coffee. Go sort out the documents that CEO Gu needs and send it over to him quickly.”


  “.……”


  As Zuo Si would become the Young Madam if she were to marry Gu Yu in future, Assistant Lin does not dare to disobey her orders.

  Heaving out a silent sigh, he had no choice but to enter the office and hand over the mug of coffee to Zuo Si respectfully before he stowed the confidential documents that Xu Weilai had dug out back into the safe. After he contacted someone to fix the lock on the safe, he then began to organize the documents.

  Zuo Si lounged on the sofa and finished her coffee leisurely before she took out her phone and gave Gu Yu a call.

  “Hello,” Gu Yu replied in his usual cold voice after the call went through.

  Cutting to the chase, Zuo Si informed, “I’ve solved the issue that you asked of me. But……I solved it using my way. Hope you don’t mind.”


  After a moment of silence on the other end of the line, Gu Yu replied, “Do as you please.”


  “Alright, I’m hanging up. See you later.”


  Zuo Si then kept her phone, rose to her feet and left.

  Assistant Lin, who was sorting out the documents, paused his task on hand and turned to watch as Zuo Si gradually disappeared from his line of sight. He had been working for CEO Gu for a long time and could usually read his mind. However, he simply couldn’t make head or tail of the games that Gu Yu and Zuo Si were playing.

  “Is CEO Gu really going to marry Zuo Si? But they don’t look good as a couple,” Assistant Lin mused……

  Xu Weilai charged up to the rooftop of the company and, as she stood by the railing, looked up at the azure blue sky that was laced with tufts of white clouds. Gradually, her suppressed emotions began to seep through and her eyes brimmed with tears.

  After a long time had passed, she could hear the sound of approaching footsteps from behind her.

  However, perhaps because she was too immersed in her own world to notice or that she simply wanted to ignore, for she did not turn back to look.

  The sound of footsteps grew closer and closer until finally, someone stopped right beside her. Xu Weilai could feel his eyes on her face and shortly after, he handed her a clean, white handkerchief.

  Xu Weilai’s vision was blurry from crying and her eyelashes, which were wet with tears, fluttered gently as her eyes wandered from the handkerchief to Zuo An’s face. She could see a hint of worry in his gentle eyes as he held her gaze and asked softly, “Are you alright?”


  “No.”


  Xu Weilai did not accept his handkerchief and merely fixed her eyes on him. All of a sudden, she noted, “Did you know that Gu Yu is forming a marriage alliance with Zuo Si?”


  Zuo An stared at her for a few seconds before he nodded and acknowledged, “Yes.”


  “So you’re aware……” Xu Weilai remarked and her lips curled up into a sneer. “You wanted me to join the company because you were under the impression that……I’m very important to Gu Yu and that I could be an obstacle to their marriage, isn’t it?”


  Zuo An’s eyes darkened but he continued to remain silent.

  Xu Weilai felt increasingly amused by his tacit acknowledgement and laughed coolly as she replied, “Boss, you think too highly of me. Gu Yu wouldn’t have divorced me if he really cared about me. It’s even more amusing to think that you actually went through such great lengths to hinder their marriage.”


  Zuo An lifted his handkerchief up and wiped away Xu Weilai’s tears slowly as he replied emotionlessly, “Why are you belittling yourself?”
