Chapter 722: Aggressive Pursuit (2)
If a woman was to agree to the man’s request, it was a silent agreement to allow the relations.h.i.+p to progress further.
Of course, she knew that Zuo An wasn’t trying to flirt with her. He probably just wanted to know whether she would let him into her world.
A man would show his eagerness and excitement in front of the girl they liked, no matter how gentle they might appear to be. The instinctive nature of a man would surface when they came face to face with love.
Xu Weilai bit her lower lip lightly, her brows knitted into a knot as if he presented her with a terribly tough question. She made a very slight movement of nodding her head, a gesture that showed her agreement towards Zuo An’s request.
A smile appeared on Zuo An’s face.
“Let’s go up.”
Xu Weilai turned around and took the stairs towards the lobby of her apartment after the three words came out from her mouth.
“Okay.” She heard the gentle voice of Zuo An coming from behind, followed by the sound of footsteps keeping up with hers. Then they walked side by side towards her apartment.

On the other side.
Gu Yu drove Zuo Si back to her apartment building. Zuo Si unfastened her seatbelt and turned to look at him. When she saw he had no intention to get out of the car as well, she raised her eyebrows, “You have something else to do?”
They were now living in the same apartment building, but on different floors. Zuo Si was living on the fifth floor while Gu Yu on the sixth, a floor above hers.
From what she knew, Gu Yu had no other appointments or social engagement for the night.
“Get out.” His cold, deep voice ordered.
This piqued Zuo Si’s interest in his remaining itinerary for the night. Not only did she not get out of the car, but she remained seated with no intention to leave. She curled her lips and spoke indifferently, “Let me guess. Are you going back to the office to continue working as usual? Or… you wanted to meet someone?”
She was obviously not going to get any answers from Gu Yu.
The teasing mean in Zuo Si’s eyes slowly disappeared, and she gazed sharply at Gu Yu. “CEO Gu, don’t blame me for meddling in your affair. If you can’t keep your cool, you won’t be the only one who will suffer a crus.h.i.+ng defeat, you will drag me down too.”
“Besides that, I don’t see it as a bad thing for Zuo An to be with Xu Weilai. Only fools would create a weakness for themselves. If Zuo An were to fall head over heel with Xu Weilai, it would be beneficial for us instead… aarrgh…”
Gu Yu had already gotten out of the car and went around to the pa.s.senger seat when she was still talking. He swung the door open and was forcefully dragging her out of the car by her wrist before she could finish her words.
He was as strong as he was ruthless, as Zuo Si’s wrist reddened from his merciless grip as he threw her out of his car and let go of his grip before she could even stand firm on the ground.
Zuo Si staggered backward and swayed a few times before she could find her balance.
“Gu Yu!” She was furious roared at Gu Yu, disregarding the public image she needed to keep.
Gu Yu strode back to the driver’s seat without even a glance towards Zuo Si. He got into the car and sped off.
Zuo Si turned pale from Gu Yu’s action. She gritted her teeth for a while before she snorted, “Lunatic…”
–
Gu Yu drove to the residential area where Xu Weilai was living now.
Parked in the dark, he could see Xu Weilai’s apartment building clearly. He could tell it was Zuo An’s car that was parked in front of the apartment building.
He had his eyes locked on Zuo An’s car for a long time. Finally, he found the courage to look upward towards Xu Weilai’s apartment unit. He could tell that there were two familiar figures standing at the balcony of Xu Weilai’s unit. His grip on the steering wheel unwittingly strengthened.
