Chapter 762: There’s Always A Way Out (2)
Zuo An turned his head and happened to see her expression. He asked gently, “What’s wrong?”
Naturally, Xu Weilai couldn’t let him know what she was thinking. She quickly retracted her expression and rubbed her temples pretentiously. She pretended to look exhausted. “I’m a little tired. I want to sit on the sofa for a while.”
“Do you need me to accompany you?” There was a hint of concern in his tone.
“No need. Look, there are so many guests. You are the host so you need to socialize? I’ll go sit for a while.”
Zuo An thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
He was indeed considered half the host for today’s banquet. He had never been publicly announced by the Zuo family. This birthday banquet was an opportunity to let him make an appearance in front of everyone.
However, Father Zuo had yet to officially introduce his identity. He would wait until he took over the position of the CEO of the Gu Corporation and officially took control of the Gu Corporation before he let him… acknowledge his ancestors and return to his family.
Xu Weilai held the hem of her dress with one hand. It looked like she was walking towards the sofa, but in reality, she was walking around the venue to find the person she was looking for.
Without Zuo An by her side, her gaze became more unrestrained.
In the end, there was always a way out. Just as Xu Weilai was about to give up, she caught a glimpse of the person she was looking for. She stopped in her tracks and the corners of her lips curled up into a smile.
She silently moved towards that figure.

After the banquet ended.
Zuo An brought Xu Weilai out of the hotel. Qiao Chu opened the door of the backseat. Zuo An’s covered Xu Weilai’s head with his hand habitually. After he helped her entered the car, he followed her in.
After a night of socializing, Zuo An felt a little tired.
Xu Weilai was still in good spirits probably because she had been sitting on the sofa to rest. It was rare to see a glimmer of light in her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Zuo An felt less tired.
The car arrived at the Zuo residence.
Zuo An and Xu Weilai walked in together and went upstairs. Zuo An followed Xu Weilai back to her bedroom first.
Xu Weilai put her hand on the doorknob, twisted it, and then released it. She turned around and looked at Zuo An. “It’s 11:50 now. I’ve already followed your request and accompanied you to the banquet. There are only ten minutes left and today will be over. Do you think you should fulfill your promise?”
“Yes…”
Zuo An chuckled. “Since I promised to give it to you, I won’t go back on my word.”
He paused for a moment, raised his hand, and pointed at the balcony at the end of the corridor. “Let’s go there.”
Xu Weilai smiled in satisfaction. “Sure.”
Zuo An went back to his room first. When he took the contract and walked out to the balcony, Xu Weilai was already sitting on the chair. On the table, there was a cup of hot milk.
He raised his eyebrows slightly. He walked over, pulled out the chair, and sat down.
“This is?” Zuo An’s gaze fell on the milk.
Xu Weilai raised her hand and directly pushed the cup of milk to his side. “Thank you for keeping your promise. This will help you alleviate the effects of the alcohol.”
Zuo An placed the contract on the table and held the cup of milk carefully with his hands. It was as if the contract was not as important as the cup of milk.
“Thank you,” he said seriously.
He took a sip and pushed the contract in front of Xu Weilai. “Take a look. If there’s no problem, you can sign it. Half of my shares will belong to you.”
Then, he even unscrewed the cap of the pen and put it beside Xu Weilai’s hand.
“I hope that in the future, we can always… work together. Always work together.”
