Xu Weilai inspected the 100 yuan note meticulously and realised that there were indeed deep three fold marks on it.
She then held the note up to her nose and took a sniff. She could still vaguely smell the perfume on the note although the scent was already very faint.
This 100 yuan note was most likely the one that she had given to the driver.
Thus, she could confirm that it was not a coincidence that a cab showed up within her vicinity tonight. She had deliberately said that she was drunk but in reality, Xu Shuai was the only one who drank and she did not even take a single sip.
She intentionally said this and pretended to be drunk so as to test Gu Yu.
Since she couldn’t get him to say anything, she decided not to continue to do so. She knew that with Gu Yu’s character, she would never be able to get him to say something that he was unwilling to share even if she were to exhaust all means.
However, if he really liked her, it would show through his actions.
Now, at least she managed to prove Gu Yu would worry about her whenever she had to travel alone at night and would specifically instruct Assistant Lin to come and pick her up. Assistant Lin would always disguise himself so that she wouldn’t be able to identify him.
Of course, this couldn’t prove that Gu Yu loved her, for it could only show that he was definitely not as indifferent as he appeared to be.
Three years ago, he had distanced himself from her because she had supposedly gone overboard with her actions.
“But what about three years later?” Xu Weilai mused.
Gu Yu’s previous explanation for wanting a divorce was because he does not want to keep up with a marriage that had been a mistake all along. Xu Weilai does not want to believe in his excuses anymore. She even felt like there was a connection between why he would distance himself from her and divorce her three years ago.
…
Meanwhile, Gu Yu received a call from Assistant Lin when he was back in his apartment.
“Miss Xu had arrived at Miss Xiao’s apartment safely. I watched her go upstairs and only left when the lights in her apartment were on,” he reported concisely.
“Okay,” Gu Yu replied indifferently without any fluctuation in his tone of voice. “You should head home and rest too.”
Assistant Lin could have hung up the call but after a moment of hesitation, he couldn’t help but ask, “CEO Gu, since you still care about Miss Xu, then why don’t you…”
But before he could finish, Gu Yu emphasized, “You should rest.”
His voice was soft but firm and Assistant Lin instantly lost all courage. He gulped hard and replied meekly, “Good night, CEO Gu.”
He then hung up the call.
Gu Yu placed his phone down and strode over to the wine cabinet in his study to get himself a bottle of wine, but soon realised that the top row was empty.
He stared at it for a long time before he slowly lowered his gaze.
…
Xu Shuai was completely drunk and Xiao Chun only managed to lug him back to his villa after much effort. As Xu Shuai lived alone and only hired a part time housekeeper to clean his house at certain fixed hours, there was no one at home.
Gritting her teeth, Xiao Chun helped him back to his bedroom with much difficulty. Just when she was about to throw him down onto his bed, he reached out and pulled her.
The couple fell into the bed together and his huge, hard and heavy body pressed down on hers to the point where she was nearly knocked out of her breath.
Xiao Chun clenched her fists in fury and punched him mercilessly a few times before she reached out her arms to push him away.
Although Xu Shuai was intoxicated, he instinctively grabbed hold of her wrist and smiled wickedly before he subconsciously teased, “Babe, don’t be angry. I don’t care if you hit and hurt me, but I’m afraid that you’ll hurt your hand…”
