Xu Weilai looked at Gu Yu's deep eyes. They were still as fathomless as ever. She couldn't see any emotions in them. She pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say either.
Gu Yu squinted. After sizing up Xu Weilai and confirming that she was fine, his heart finally relaxed. Then, he opened his voice and asked in a slightly deep voice, "Why are you here?"
Why are you here...
At first, Xu Weilai never thought of coming here. That day, she was driving around aimlessly without knowing where she could go. She didn't want to return to her apartment since it never belonged to her. Maybe, very soon, she would have to give up her spot for Yun Rou.
Humans seem to have the habit of returning to the place they are most familiar with whenever they got hurt. When she stopped her car, she realized that she was at the Xu residence.
She hesitated for a moment and decided to get out of the car and go inside.
Fortunately, her mother wasn't around and her father was at the company so she didn't need to find an excuse for coming back suddenly. She returned to her room and closed the door. Finally, she had a place that belonged to herself.
She was married, but they still kept her room. It was clean and tidy, with none of her things having been moved. That had to mean that the maids came to clean it every day.
This small amount of warmth caused her to feel like crying.
It might have been because she lacked love when she was young. Thus, she would unconsciously try to hold onto love tightly when she finally managed to receive them. It didn't matter if it was from her parents or Gu Yu...
Xu Weilai sniffed her nose and looked at the photo of Gu Yu and her on the study table. This was her unrequited wish. Then, she walked to the safe and entered the passcode. She opened the safe and took out her old diary.
She flipped through her diary page by page.
All her love when she was a young girl, all her palpitations, all her romantic feelings... every single word comprised of her most real and purest emotions. However, she now realized that all her love and her stubbornness only managed to hurt her.
She didn't dare to cry too loudly for fear of alerting the maids. If that happened, her parents would find out. Even when she cried, she bit her lower lips forcefully to prevent herself from making any sounds.
Her tears dropped on the diary, drip by drip. It smudged the writings on the paper and formed circles of ink.
No matter how hurt she felt, she couldn't stay here for long. She wiped her tears and locked her diary back into the safe. Then, she looked through her room and found a pair of sunglasses. She put them on and walked out of the Xu residence.
She started driving around aimlessly again. When she drove passed a bus stop, she saw an advertisement for a holiday village posted there. It said that the scenery was amazing and it could clean your soul and relax your body entirely. You would be able to forget your troubles there.
Hence, Xu Weilai drove her car over.
However, she never intended to hide from Gu Yu. She just didn't want to see him for a while.
Even so, she wasn't able to reveal her true emotions. She put on a fake smile out of habit and acted as though nothing had happened. She replied in a lazy tone, "I got tired from working, so I came to take a break."
Gu Yu's gaze turned even darker. It was obvious that he didn't believe her excuse, but he didn't probe further. He just moved his lips and said, "Since you want to take a break, I will accompany you."
The moment he finished speaking, he took out his phone and called Assistant Lin. He directly ordered, "Push away all my schedules after..."
The next second, Xu Weilai stretched out her arm and snatched his phone. She hung up the call instantly.
