Chapter 701: You Did It On Purpose (1)

He strode forward and caught up with Xu Weilai. He reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Xu Weilai stopped in her tracks and turned around in shock. When she saw that it was Zuo An, she frowned in confusion. “Big Boss, what… is wrong with you?”

Zuo An had always been gentle and had always been a gentleman. He was always elegant and well-mannered. To hold someone’s hand like this wasn’t like him at all.

But he didn’t let go immediately. His dark eyes were fixed on Xu Weilai as he asked, “Are you free tomorrow night?”

Xu Weilai blinked again and again. Only then did she realize that he had made such a rude move just to ask her this?

For a moment, she really didn’t know how to react.

A few seconds later, she coughed lightly and said, “Isn’t there still two days left for the holiday? Of course I’m free when I’m not working. What’s the matter? Do you have a task for me?”

Xu Weilai’s original intention was to tease him with the word task. After all, she and Big Boss used to rely on tasks to communicate.

Unexpectedly, Zuo An took her words seriously and nodded. “En, I have a task for you. This task is, I want to thank you for saving my life. I want to treat you to a meal. I wonder if you’re willing to accept this task?”

“…”

Xu Weilai asked, “Didn’t we agree before that a salary increase is considered gratitude? Now, you are treating me to a meal. Don’t tell me that my salary increase is going to be offset just like that?”

What a little money-grubber.

Zuo An shook his head and laughed. “The salary will be increased as well. The meal is also on me.”

Xu Weilai’s eyes immediately lit up. “If that’s the case, then I’ll accept it. It’s a huge sin to not eat a free meal!”

“Okay, then… I’ll see you tomorrow night.”

“Okay, okay.” Xu Weilai nodded vigorously. “If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving!”

“Okay.” Zuo An replied indifferently. It was unknown whether it was because he forgot to let go or some other reason, but his hand was still holding onto Xu Weilai’s wrist.

Xu Weilai tried to pull her hand back, but she couldn’t pull it out. She had no choice but to remind him, “Big Boss, let go…”

Hearing this, Zuo An slowly let go of her hand and allowed Xu Weilai to pull her hand back. He felt his empty palm freeze in the air for half a second before it fell down.

He stood where he was and watched as Xu Weilai stopped the car, got in, and drove away. Only then did he turn around and walk back to his car and get into the car.

After he sat down properly, Qiao Chu said to the driver, “Drive.”

Xu Weilai didn’t expect that the restaurant that Zuo An asked her to eat at was coincidentally the restaurant on the mountaintop that Gu Yu had taken her to previously.

Although she had nothing to do with this man anymore, it seemed that no matter what it was, it was more or less related to him.

However, Zuo An had already made a reservation. She couldn’t reject it for such a ridiculous reason, so she still went ahead with the appointment according to the agreed time.

After arriving at the restaurant, the waiter led her in. Zuo An was already sitting in his seat waiting for her.

Perhaps it was due to etiquette, but he always seemed to wait for others instead of letting others wait.

Seeing her arrive, Zuo An stood up and pulled out a chair for her in a very gentlemanly manner. After Xu Weilai sat down, she said, “Thank you…”

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw a pair of familiar figures walking in from the entrance.

Her words were reflexively stuck in her throat, and her eyes stiffened.

Seeing this, Zuo An followed her line of sight and looked over.
