Chapter 687: What If I Took It Seriously? (1)
Xu Weilai appeared calm and collected as she spoke and appeared as if she couldn’t remembering anything.
When Zuo An heard this, he placed down his cup and leaned back. Folding his across his chest lazily, he looked up at Xu Weilai keenly before he asked with a smile, “Don’t you remember what happened yesterday?”
“Yes, I easily blackout when I drink too much. I don’t think I caused any trouble for you, did I? I’m so sorry if I did. I’ll take note not to drink so much next time,” Xu Weilai replied and raised her hand to swear an oath.
“Trouble?” Zuo An repeated the two words before he raised his eyebrows and asked, “Which aspect are you referring to?”
“…”
Xu Weilai had thought that that was where the topic would end and she couldn’t understand why Zuo An would want to probe further to get to the bottom of this matter.
Xu Weilai knew that she couldn’t avoid his question too deliberately and thus, she could only bite the bullet and reply, “For example, I might have said or done something disrespectful, but that wasn’t intentional. Please don’t take it seriously.”
“So everything you said last night was nonsense?”
Zuo An paused before he noted meaningfully, “Does that include the compliment about how handsome I am? Was that nonsense as well?”
“…”
Xu Weilai’s boss had always maintained a low profile about his achievements and fame and was also indifferent to everything. Little did she expect him to be a narcissist who valued what others thought about his appearance.
As he was her boss, Xu Weilai knew that it was necessary to suck up to him and thus, immediately changed her words, “If that was what I said, then it must be true! Big Boss, you are handsome indeed.”
Zuo An’s lips curled up into a faint smile as he continued, “You also said that I’m your type of guy. Is that nonsense as well?”
“Why didn’t I return home to sleep after drinking so much last night? Why did she let myself go wild and why did I say such a thing to Big Boss?” Xu Weilai thought.
If she could, she would get inside her boss’s mind to delete the memories of last night.
Flas.h.i.+ng him an awkward but polite smile, Xu Weilai replied. “If that was what I said, then it must be true! After all, who wouldn’t like a great man like you?”
Zuo An nodded in agreement, and his beam widened. After a few seconds of silence, he resumed, “Judging from what you said, then I suppose you’re serious when you said that you intend to go after me.”
“…”
Xu Weilai’s jet black pupils instantly constricted and she immediately denied without further thought, “I never said that. Big Boss, please don’t put words in my mouth.”
However, Zuo An immediately reb.u.t.ted lazily, “Oh? I thought you were knocked out? How could you be sure that you’ve never said that?”
Xu Weilai was stunned.
Being someone who had many tricks up her sleeve, she never expected herself to be so careless as to fall for her boss’ trick in her attempt to pull a fast one on him.
“It hurts to shoot myself in the foot,” she mused.
“Haha,” Xu Weilai chuckled dryly a few times. Struggling to preserve her remaining sense of dignity, she explained, “It’s not that I can’t…remember anything at all. I do have some fragments of memory.”
“But I swear that what I said yesterday wasn’t filtered through my mind and was completely unplanned. It was just nonsense that I blabbered in my state of drunken stupor. Big Boss, please don’t take it seriously. I sincerely apologize to you about this once again.”
Just when Xu Weilai was about to offer Zuo An a formal bow of apology as she spoke, Zuo An’s replied in a deep, low voice.
