As the man neared, Xu Weilai’s heartbeat sped up accordingly. Her legs suddenly possessed a will of their own and began stepping backward. However, the couch was behind her, blocking her way.

She took a deep breath quietly, and did her best to fight off her nerves and try to say something, “Gu…”

She had barely uttered a single syllable when Gu Yu reached her side. She felt his hands tighten around her wrists as he jerked her over to himself. His tall frame was big enough to almost cover her completely.

“Xu Weilai!”

Gu Yu opened his mouth, and his tone was chilling when he said, “The moment you returned to the country, you appeared in front of me. Once, twice, three times… Are you that eager to see me?”

These were his first words to her ever since meeting each other again.

Although the previous few times they had met, he had treated Xu Weilai as if she were invisible and had not even spared her a glance, Xu Weilai had never imagined that his first words to her would be so cold and humiliating.

She had thought that she was immune to his barbs, but her heart unexpectedly felt as if it were getting pierced.

When she was at the extreme end of her emotions, she was contrarily able to calm herself down.

The expression on her face did not betray how upset she was. She forced the corners of her lips up in a smile and looked up at Gu Yu. Her eyes were candid, and she kept her cool as she said, “Mr. Gu, you have misunderstood the situation.”

Mr. Gu?

Gu Yu frowned imperceptibly.

Xu Weilai didn’t notice his expression, and swallowed nervously before continuing to speak, “Meeting you a few days ago was a coincidence. As for today, I’m just here to interview Miss Su. I didn’t expect you to be here, either.”

She paused for a moment before adding, “Oh, right. I’m now working with a magazine publication.”
