My Mr. Gu is Courting Death Again - Chapter 737

Chapter 737: Hold Me Tight (1)

Xu Weilai could tell that it was a study room based on the furnishing in the room. Seated behind an enormous desk in the study is a middle-aged man. She could not confirm his identity as she could only see part of his face from the gap of the open door.

However, the familiar figure she saw earlier walked around the desk and stopped in front of the middle-aged man. She first gave him a smile, then sat on his lap.

She recognised the familiar figure of the woman from the unobstructed view she had through the gap of the door, even though it was a glimpse of a few seconds.

That woman was Aunt Bai, Xiao Chun’s mother Bai Yufang.

Being a close friend of Xiao Chun, she met Aunt Bai countless time in the past. Even though she hadn’t seen Aunt Bai for a long period, she could still recognise her easily with no mistake.

But the appearance of Aunt Bai in Zuo Family residence was certainly out of Xu Weilai’s expectation. The intimacy she had shown with the middle-aged man in the study proved their relationship to be abnormal.

However, Xiao Chun never mentioned about her parent’s divorce. Was Aunt Bai having an affair? Then who was this man?

That man looked majestic and elegant. Besides that, he seemed to feel at home sitting in the study. Was he Zuo An’s father? The CEO Zuo that she never had the chance to meet yet?

All these thoughts and questions flashed through her mind. The sight in front of her eyes was too shocking that she uncontrollably took a step back and accidentally knocked on a vase beside her. A faint sound emitted from the movement of the vase on the floor.

Although the sound from the vase movement was soft, the abrupt movement in the silence of the night still caused panic to Xu Weilai. She held her breath as her eyes widened in fright.

Alarmed by the faint sound from the movement, the two persons in the study looked at each other and ceased their conversation. Bai Yufang stood up and walked toward the door, ready to check out the source of the sound.

She even saw that Bai Yufang reached into her pocket, and in a familiar action, retrieved an item that looked like a syringe from inside her pocket.

She knew that Bai Yufang was a psychiatrist, and her job was to counsel and ease the minds of others. However, such skilled movement at this moment of suspense seemed inexplicably terrifying to Xu Weilai.

Despite the doubts she had in her mind, she could not stay. If they discovered her, she could not imagine the bad ending she would face.

The safest choice she had would be to run back to her room, but the path towards the staircase was too open and she would have nowhere to hide. Bai Yufang saw her and made chase, she could not escape.

She made a quick observation and saw a balcony in front of her.

Xu Weilai ran towards the balcony without a second thought as she noticed Bai Yufang making her way towards the door of the study. She had to tiptoe even though she was making her run.

She pushed open the balcony door, slipped through it. Bai Yufang stood still when she reached the door of the study and looked around.

Bai Yufang made her way towards the balcony, one step after another. She was probably just being cautious, or perhaps she noticed something unusual on the balcony.

It was a large balcony with a table, a parasol canopy and a few chairs, a space usually used for having afternoon tea, certainly not for hiding anyone.

She could hear Bai Yufang footsteps getting closer to the balcony. Her heart thumped faster at every step Bai Yufang took. She bit her lips hard.
