Xu Weilai clenched her fists subconsciously.

It would be a lie if she said she had never harbored any hope of meeting him again. However, when she saw that he had looked right past her and treated her as invisible, she knew that going forward to greet him would only result in her own humiliation.

“Nah.” Xu Weilai shook her head decisively.

Xu Weilai’s father couldn’t comprehend her decision.

She pursed her lips lightly, and explained, “Dad, you can see that Gu Yu does not want to interact with anyone at the moment. Besides, he came with a female companion today. Given our past relations.h.i.+p, I don’t think… he’ll want to see me.”

Mr. Xu pondered her words for a moment. Indeed, it wasn’t a good time today. Besides, there were so many other eyes present at the party. If Xu Weilai went forward and got rejected by the a.s.sistant, it would be embarra.s.sing when word of it got out.

“There’ll always be another chance.”

Xu Weilai gave a sigh of relief inwardly when she saw that her father changed his mind. She held on to his arm, and they continued on their way.

At the same time that she turned around, Gu Yu, who was resting at the booth with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. He glanced over imperceptibly, and his eyes darkened and became unreadable. The entire atmosphere surrounding him suddenly became cold.

The black sedan stopped at the lobby of the luxury apartment building.

Su Ziqian turned her head to look at the handsome man beside her. After a moment’s hesitation, she couldn’t resist asking in a gentle voice, “Yu, would you like to come up for some coffee?”

Gu Yu lifted his eyes lazily and glanced at her.

The look in his eyes was emotionless and cold. It gave nothing away and kept the recipient at a distance.

He didn’t say a word, but she already knew the answer. She smiled immediately and replied cheerily, “I’ll go back now, Yu. Be careful on the road. Good night.”
