My Mr. Gu is Courting Death Again - Chapter 608

Chapter 608: Meeting Big Boss (2)

Xu Weilai was so shocked that she stared blankly at the man in front of her. Her eyes were a little dazed, and she didn’t snap back to reality for a long time.

When Big Boss met her eyes, he seemed to have seen through her thoughts. The corners of his lips curled up, and he smiled teasingly. “I don’t match your imagination?”

“You indeed don’t match…” Xu Weilai unwittingly muttered.

“Then are you disappointed?”

Disappointed?

Xu Weilai’s long and curly eyelashes trembled and she suddenly came back to her senses. In the next second, she shook her head repeatedly, “No, no, why would I be disappointed? I just didn’t expect it. I didn’t expect… Big Boss, you’re so young. You’re really young and promising… Yes, young and promising!”

Big Boss raised his eyebrows. He didn’t accept her praise and instead asked, “It seems that I was an old man in your eyes before?”

What did he do to make her have such a misunderstanding?

“Cough cough cough…” Xu Weilai choked on her own saliva and coughed a few times. She denied it against her conscience, “Absolutely not. I definitely didn’t regard you as an old man!”

Big Boss naturally saw through her lie, but he didn’t expose her. Instead, he asked, “Are we going to stand here and chat the entire time?”

Xu Weilai frowned in annoyance. She turned to the side to make way and made a welcoming gesture. “Big Boss, please come in, please come in.”

After all, Big Boss had been here once, so he wasn’t unfamiliar with the place. When he walked into the living room and swept his gaze over the dining table, he saw that the table was filled to the brim. He could even vaguely see steam coming out of it. It was enough to show that Xu Weilai was very attentive.

He tugged the corners of his lips, and there was faint mirth in his eyes.

After Xu Weilai closed the door, she stood still in place and took a few deep breaths. She suppressed all her shock and calmed herself down before walking over.

Upon seeing that he was looking at the dining table, Xu Weilai smiled and said, “I didn’t know what you like to eat, so I made some dishes that I know how to cook. I hope… that they appeal to your tastes.”

Big Boss walked over and his gaze fell on the variety of dishes. His voice was soft and gentle. “Can I eat now?”

“Yes, yes!”

Xu Weilai also walked over. After inviting Big Boss to sit down, she went to the kitchen to get a bowl and chopsticks. After placing them in front of him, she asked, “Do you want to drink the soup first?”

Big Boss nodded politely. “Okay.”

Xu Weilai scooped some soup for him. After placing it beside his hand, she even reminded him, “Be careful, it’s hot.”

She scooped a bowl of soup for herself, pulled out a chair, and sat across from him. Then, she raised the bowl and said to Big Boss, “There’s no wine, so I used soup as a substitute instead. Big Boss, let me toast you. Thank you for taking care of me like this. You’ve helped me time and time again, and you’ve even saved my life. I’m really, really grateful to you!”

Her seriousness seemed to astonish and shock her boss. His smiling eyes darkened mysteriously, but soon, he smiled again. “You’ve already said thank you to me many times.”

“That’s different. It was all through email and over the phone. Now that I can say it to you personally, the meaning is very different.” Xu Weilai still looked serious. “So, Big Boss, listen carefully.”

Big Boss looked at her quietly for a while. The smile on his face didn’t change, but he asked in return, “Are you really that grateful to me?”

Xu Weilai nodded as if it was a matter of fact. “A thousand years worth of gratitude.”

Big Boss lowered his eyes. “But…”
