Chapter 697: Cuteness in His Behavioral Contrast (1)

“However, if I were to do it again, I would still go up the mountain to look for you.”

Zuo An was stunned.

“Although I cherish my life, you were in grave danger, I have to do my part.” Xu Weilai smiled, “After all, you’ve saved me so many times. I’m someone who will always repay the kindness shown to me.”

Repay kindness with kindness.

He had clearly explained to her that he did that to repay the favor to Gu Yu, and it was Gu Yu that entrusted him to do so. But still, she held that to her heart.

A faint smile appeared on his lips and he looked at Xu Weilai with a softness in his eyes, “Thank you.”

“Just thank you?” Xu Weilai widened her big dark eyes at Zuo An and blinked, “Big Boss, no other rewards?”

Zuo An instantly understood what she wanted and smiled weakly, “Give you a raise.”

“Big Boss, no one knows me better than you do. Then I’ll accept it gracefully.”

When Xu Weilai caught the hint of exhaustion that arose from Zuo An’s brow, she immediately changed the topic and tried to excuse herself, “Big Boss, you should rest. I’ll come in when the drip is almost done.”

“No need.”

“Ah?”

Zuo An pursed his lips. A glimpse of unnatural expression flashed through his face but disappeared instantly. He calmly went on, “I can’t sleep. Besides, I don’t feel like sleeping. You don’t have to go out. Just stay here. You can do whatever you want. It won’t disturb me.”

Did not feel like sleeping? Was he afraid of having nightmares again?

He asked her to stay... Was he afraid to be alone?

That’s right. For someone who called out for their mother when they were in a critical situation, it certainly wasn’t strange for them to be afraid of being alone when they were sick and vulnerable.

Was that why he looked awkward? Because he was worried that she would laugh at him?

Why did she find that there was cuteness in his behavioral contrast?

Xu Weilai held back her laughter and chose not to expose him. She nodded. “Alright then. If you don’t want to sleep, I’ll accompany you. But I see that you’re quite tired. You can rest with your eyes closed. I’ll be here, not going to leave.”

Would he feel less uneasy this way?

Zuo An nodded. He finally closed his eyes after he tried to stay awake for quite a while.

Half an hour went by, Xu Weilai stood up and left the room quietly when she saw that the drip was almost done. She called Qiao Chu and got him to contact the doctor to come and remove the drip.

Qiao Chu arrived soon with the doctor.

Xu Weilai greeted Qiao Chu and left for her room when she saw that her job here was done.

When she entered her room, she saw Xiao Chun on the phone not looking too good. When she was done with the call, Xu Weilai asked, “What’s wrong?”

Xiao Chun pursed her lips and started complaining, “Assistant Lin called me saying he’s going back to the city now to attend to some urgent matter. He asked me to stay as a representative of the management team and take care of the things over here. That’s so strange. Why are there so many urgent matters? Can’t they just play when it’s time to play? I don’t know why Assistant Lin was in such a hurry to go back. Did something happen to Yu again?

“Little Weilai, I can’t stay with you here anymore. I’ll need to get back to the other side and do a handover with Assistant Lin. Would you be fine on your own?”

Xu Weilai smiled and nodded. “Go ahead. I’ll be fine.”

“Then I’ll leave first. Give me a call if you need anything.”

After Xiao Chun left, Xu Weilai sat on the sofa, thousands of thoughts flashed through her eyes.

After a while, she looked up at the clock on the wall. It was dinner time.

She hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the phone in the hotel room and dialed the room service number. When the call was picked up, she ordered, “Please help me prepare...”
