Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

They arrived at Xu Weilai’s apartment after half an hour’s drive.

Xu Weilai unfastened her seatbelt. She hurriedly stopped Zuo An when she saw he was also unfastening his, “Boss, you don’t have to see me off. I can go up on my own. It’s getting late. You should go back. You still have to work tomorrow.”

Zuo An hesitated for a few seconds before he let go of his seatbelt. He looked up at her and said, “Alright, go ahead. I’ll... I’ll leave when I see the lights on in your apartment.”

Xu Weilai did not object, although she found it unnecessary. She nodded and gently bade him goodnight, “Goodnight.”

“Goodnight.”

Xu Weilai pushed open the car door and got out. She waved at him after she closed the car door, turned around and walked towards her apartment entrance.

The apartment elevator took her up to the floor she was staying. When she finally reached her own apartment unit, she turned on the light and went towards the balcony. Her eyes automatically went downwards.

Zuo An was standing by his car, looking upward. Still, he got down from his car.

Xu Weilai waved at him and made a gesture asking him to leave.

The man seemed to smile and nodded. He then opened the car door and got in. The car engine started, and he drove away.

Complication rose in Xu Weilai’s eyes as she watched the car drove into the night. She stood still for a moment with her hand gently placed on her heart.

There was no throbbing. Her heart as calm as the sea.

She felt nothing towards the love her Big Boss professed towards her. Did her heart remain locked with Gu Yu? Or she no longer knew how to love anymore?

Not only was she not touched by Zuo An’s confession, but there was another emotion rising in her heart. It felt heavy on her heart, so heavy that it left her breathless.

Xu Weilai closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then another one, and another one... One after another, as she forced herself to forget this emotion.

She remained on the balcony for a while before she walked back in and went to the guest room for a shower and sleep.

–

She did not sleep well the entire night, which led her to wake up a little late the next day.

She hurriedly washed up and changed into a suit, then rushed out with her bag after she put on her shoes. She turned on her mobile phone app to get a cab as she walked.

However, she couldn’t get a cab because of the rush hour. She was likely going to be late today, as she thought to herself.

The moment she stepped out of her apartment building, her eyes glimpsed a familiar-looking car parked exactly at the same spot to the day before when Zuo An sent her back.

Xu Weilai’s eyes widened slightly.

If she hadn’t witnessed the car driving away the night before, she would have thought that the car had never left.

The car window wound down, the man in the car spoke to her in the ever gentle voice, “Weilai, get in the car.”

This voice awakened Xu Weilai. She went forward as she opened the car door and got in.

The car drove away.

Xu Weilai turned to look at Zuo An, “You... Why are you here? Was it just my illusion? You actually never left?”

Zuo An shook his head. Amused by her words, he smiled, “I did left. But after I left, I felt that......”

I was missing you.

He paused for a moment as he recalled he shouldn’t be so blunt. So, he stopped what he was saying and rephrased his sentence. “Isn’t sending you to and from work part of what I should do when I wanted to woo a girl? So, I’m here to pick you up.”

Xu Weilai could only smile as she had no way to refute this.

They soon arrived at the underground parking space as the apartment wasn’t too far from the Gu Corporation. Both of them got out from the car after Zuo An parked.

Gu Yu was also getting down from his car with Assistant Lin in front of them.
