Zuo An checked with one of the maid after he came out from the study and found that Xu Weilai went back to his room and had been staying in there since then. He then strode towards his bedroom.
He stood in front of the door to his bedroom for a while before he raised his hand and turned the doorknob. He pushed the door open and walked through the door.

Xu Weilai quickly boxed up her emotions when she heard the doorknob turned. She turned towards approaching Zuo An and gave him a smile, “You’re back?”
Zuo An’s eyes fell on her bright smile as he strode nearer towards her. He lowered his eyes and looked into hers as he gently said, “I want to bring you to a place. Will you come with me?”
Xu Weilai blinked in confusion. “Where to?”
“It’s a secret for now.”
So mysterious?
Xu Weilai raised her eyebrows. She nodded after a moment of hesitation. “Sure, let’s go.”
Her straightforward answer stunned Zuo An, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll sell you off?”
It did not seem to be a question that would come from Zuo An. Despite that, she answered him with a question, “Will you?”
Even though Zuo An had his unpure motive when he moved in on her initially and had her trapped in this situation with his schemes and planning, he no longer did anything to hurt her after he confessed his feelings towards her.
Thus, she was curious if he would do anything to hurt her in the future.
How much adoration did he have for her?
Zuo An ignored her question as if he did not hear them. He gave her a faint smile, “Then let’s go.”
“Okay.”
Xu Weilai stood up swiftly from the sofa and followed him out of the room.

Xiao Chu had the car prepared for them at the entrance of the residence and stood by the car waiting for them.
He opened the backdoor of the car when he noticed them walking out of the residence. Zuo An saw that Xu Weilai got into the car safely before he went in after her. Qiao Chu closed the door after both of them were in the car and took small strides towards the driver seat. He started the car and drove them to the instructed destination.
The cities in the south were a complete opposite from the north. The air was fresher with the blue skies and bright sun. Even the flowers and trees seemed taller and lushier, full of vitality.
Qiao Chu stopped by the side of the road when they passed by a florist.
Xu Weilai looked at Zuo An. “We have reached?”
“No, I need to buy something.”
Zuo An brought Xu Weilai into the florist. A shop assistant came forward to attend to them. Zuo An looked towards Xu Weilai, “Weilai, help me pick a bouquet of flower according to your preference.”
“Me?” Xu Weilai was a little surprised, but she didn’t refuse. “Okay.”
Xu Weilai liked red roses. They were bright and eye-catching. Zuo An sent her red roses before this too. So, she chose red roses without a second thought. Zuo An had no objection and requested the shop assistant to wrap them up.
They continued their journey after they left the florist.
Xu Weilai could roughly guess that Zuo An wanted to take her to meet someone, likely a woman. Could it be his mother?
She did not see Zuo An’s mother in Zuo Family Residence. She was probably in another residence?
Not only did she not see Zuo An’s mother in the residence, neither did she see Zuo Si’s mother anywhere. Did Zuo Si’s mother live in another residence too?
Was that the reason Aunt Bai could freely enter Zuo Family Residence and be with CEO Zuo?
Xu Weilai remained calm even though she was bursting with curiosity. She was going to find out soon.
The car pulled to a stop again after half an hour. Xu Weilai got out of the car. The view in front of her eyes appalled her.
