Chapter 610: Are You Willing To Come With Me? (2)
Return to the country to develop…
Xu Weilai wasn’t particularly surprised when she heard these words. Previously, when Big Boss said that Z magazine wanted to open a branch in the country, she had a vague feeling that he intended to s.h.i.+ft the focus of his work to the domestic market. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let her stay in the branch as the managing editor and offer such generous conditions such as letting her decide her own salary.
Previously, she had rejected him decisively. At that time, she only wanted to go to a place without Gu Yu as soon as possible, a place that was far away from him.
However, she clearly should have rejected him again at this moment, and her lips moved, but her words seemed to be stuck in her throat. She couldn’t open her mouth no matter what.
She didn’t know if Big Boss understood or something, but he smiled slightly. “You still have time to think about it. I’ve booked a flight for next week. If you’re willing, then we can go back together. If you aren’t willing, you can stay here. Your work will continue as usual.”
“But… after I return to China, I won’t be able to take care of you. From now on, you have to take good care of yourself on your own.”
With that said, Big Boss stood up and casually brushed the hem of his clothes. He said aloofly, “It’s about time. Thank you for your hospitality tonight. I’ll be leaving now.”
Xu Weilai quickly snapped back to reality and stood up as well. She nodded at him. “I’ll send you out.”
Big Boss didn’t refuse.
The two of them walked side by side to the door. Xu Weilai took the key that was placed on the shoe cabinet and walked out. After closing the door, she took the elevator and went downstairs.
The car was waiting for Big Boss at the door. Xu Weilai only stopped after she sent him to the car.
The driver opened the back seat door for Big Boss. Her boss held the door with one hand. Before he bent down to get into the car, his gaze fell on Xu Weilai’s delicate face again. He still had that gentle and indifferent smile on his face. “Think about it carefully. I hope I can get good news from you.”
Xu Weilai couldn’t give him any affirmative answer. She could only put on a smile and raise her hand to wave at him. “Goodbye, Big Boss. Be careful on the road.”
He didn’t say anything else. He bent down to get into the car. The driver closed the door and trotted back to the driver’s seat. He got in, started the car, and slowly drove away.
Xu Weilai watched the car leave until it disappeared from her eyes. Only then did she turn around and walk back.
After returning to the apartment, she first went to the living room and turned off the TV. Then, she took the fruit plate back to the kitchen. Then, she put on her plastic gloves and started to wash the dishes.
As she washed, her imagination ran wild.
These days, there were many people telling her one after another that Gu Yu liked her. At first, she didn’t believe them. After all, she was the one who had personally asked him. Gu Yu had also personally rejected her wishful fancies.
What could be more hard proof than refutation from the protagonist himself?
If it was in the entertainment industry, what these people said would be gossip, and Gu Yu would the official party. The official party had refuted it, so how could she believe these rumors?
But…
One thing could be said to be a coincidence, and two things could be said to be accidents. However, one after another they kept coming at her, so how could she withstand it?
She was a reporter herself, and she often deduced the truth of entire matters from clues. The truth was often pieced together from these tiny matters.
How could her heart possibly not waver in the slightest?
