It did not matter whether she was drunk or was pretending to be, this was not the sort of question she should have asked.
The alliance between them was still very fragile at the moment. The more she knew, the more unfavorable it would be for their cooperation. After all…he had not trusted her yet.
Xu Weilai looked at him in a daze with no sign of retreat. Instead, she continued with his question, “Where did I cross the line?”
“…”
Zuo An was momentarily at the loss of words. Xu Weilai deliberately distorted his question. “What if I insist on crossing the line?”
They were so close that Zuo An could not only smell the scent of liquor on her but also the faint feminine scent as well. He couldn’t tell whether it was the perfume she applied or the scent that came naturally from her body. But the mixture of both was inexplicable seductive.
His heart wavered for a second, but just for a split second.
He put his hands on Xu Weilai’s shoulders and gently pushed her away. His eyes had already returned to the usual gentle mask-like expression when they met her dark pair of eyes. He asked in return, “Weilai, have you let go of Gu Yu in such a short period of time?”
The opposite of love was hate and so did the opposite of hate was to be love. She hated Gu Yu so much that she wanted to take revenge on him. She wanted him to lose everything. How could she have hated Gu Yu so much if she had not loved him?
Now that she was openly flirting with him, her intentions were too obvious.
But she replied, “No.”
She said it boldly, with no intention to conceal anything.
Zuo An was startled by her reply again. He thought that he was very good at reading people. He could see through everything a person said and did and roughly guessed their thoughts and intentions.
That was why when Xu Weilai came to him and even told him about Gu Yu’s illness as proof of her sincerity, he did not believe her.
He knew very well how infatuated Xu Weilai was with Gu Yu. Over the years, he knew better than anyone else how Xu Weilai went after Gu Yu.
But recently, he gradually realized that he could no longer see through Xu Weilai.
Since when had this woman become so unfathomable to him? And this feeling warned him of danger.
Zuo An’s eyes darkened. “Since you have not, why are you saying these to me? Or you can flirt with any man you see when you’re drunk?”
“Flirt? No, I don’t flirt.”
Xu Weilai shook her head seriously, “Big Boss, why are you not confident with yourself? You’re good-looking, rich, and with high social status. You’re gentle and understanding. You fit in the category of dream man for most women, and you’re quite compatible with me.”
As she said this, she even pounded her chest twice to show that she was telling the truth.
Zuo An went silent for a few seconds. He couldn’t suppress his curiosity and asked, “I thought you like men of Gu Yu’s type?”
“I was young and ignorant then. Blinded by love. Now that I’ve finally came to the realization, why would I still like someone like him? “Xu Weilai’s anger suddenly flared up, and she spoke with conviction, “I now like gentle one, can I not?”
She was raging for a moment but softened in the next. She stared at Zuo An’s face with a smile and whispered, “Actually, I just like good-looking people. Personality is not important, look is what mattered.”
Zuo An was caught speechless again.
If it weren’t for Xu Weilai being drunk today, he certainly had no idea that a woman’s emotion could be so versatile. As the Chinese saying went on a person having eighteen different martial arts skills, the same applied to women’s emotions, and they changed every second.
