The a.s.sistant’s face froze mid-smile.

He was aware of the matters between Mr. Gu and Xu Weilai. Back then, the couple had been inseparable and lovingly sweet to each other. But he didn’t know either why Mr. Gu had suddenly experienced a change of heart three years ago and backed out of his engagement with Xu Weilai.

In the present, Mr. Gu had presumably married Xu Weilai because of his grandfather’s command. However, in the many years that the a.s.sistant had been working under Gu Yu, he had come to know that his boss wasn’t a person who could be ordered or controlled by anyone. Therefore, if he had agreed to marry Xu Weilai, it had to be because some part of him wanted to.

The a.s.sistant had a.s.sumed that, given the beautiful past that Mr. Gu had shared with Miss Xu, despite the fact that the marriage was an alliance between two corporations, there would still be an element of true love present. He never expected… that the situation between the couple had deteriorated to this state!

They were already married, but Mr. Gu still abhorred Miss Xu. Miss Xu, on the other hand, seemed like she had married solely for the one billion yuan. Otherwise, she would never have said, “This isn’t my home.”

What her words meant was that even though she was married to Mr. Gu, she didn’t truly see Mr. Gu as her husband, and didn’t see this place as her home!

The a.s.sistant could sense the tension emanating from Mr. Gu in the backseat. Cold sweat appeared on his brow, and he kicked himself inwardly for being a smart aleck and driving up to Xu Weilai on his own accord!

He didn’t dare turn around to face Mr. Gu at that moment. All he could do was keep silent, lighten his breathing, and do his best to become as invisible as possible.

Xu Weilai took out her cell phone to check the time. It was already past midnight and Gu Yu had not come back.

From the looks of it, it was likely that he wasn’t coming back at all tonight, and she could finally rest a.s.sured and return to the apartment.

She blinked back the desolation that had been in her eyes moments before, and hurriedly muttered to the guard, “I live in Apartment Six. I’ll go up right now!”

She hadn’t said that she was going home, but merely “going up.”
