My Mr. Gu is Courting Death Again Chapter 653 - Sudden Obedience (1)

Chapter 653: Sudden Obedience (1)

This proposal really surprised Xu Weilai.

She initially thought that Zuo An arranged this dinner to test Gu Yu’s health condition. So Qiao Chu, his confidant should have been his first choice to send Gu Yu back home and to monitor if there was any hidden disease than Gu Yu was trying to keep away from prying eyes. Or perhaps he already trusted her enough to be his confidant, and to believe that she would tell him the truth about Gu Yu’s situation?

What was he up to?

Zuo An certainly seemed more shrewd than she had imagined. It was hard to guess what he was thinking and what he was going to do next.

Gu Yu’s dark eyes glanced once at Xu Weilai. His expression was calm and unfathomable, but he did not object. “I’ll have to trouble you then.”

Zuo An smiled at Xu Weilai as he entrusted her with the task. “Weilai, drive CEO Gu home. Be careful on the road.”

Xu Weilai could only answer with a nod, “Well noted.”

Gu Yu asked the hotel staff to send a.s.sistant Lin to the guest room upstairs in Gu Garden Country Club. He then walked towards the main entrance with Xu Weilai tailing behind him.

The valet had already had Gu Yu’s car driven to the entrance of Gu Garden country club.

As Gu Yu walked towards his car, the valet respectfully opened the back seat door for him. He stopped momentarily and snuck into the back seat of the car.

Xu Weilai went around to the driver’s seat, opened the car door, and got into the car. She fastened her seatbelt and adjusted the rearview mirror. Through the mirror, she looked at the man who was leaning against the back of the car seat and was resting with his eyes closed. At that moment, she was unsure of what to feel.

They… had really become the most familiar strangers?

But using the word “familiar” to describe them didn’t seem accurate. Did they really know each other well? For her, even though she had dated, married, and lived together with Gu Yu, even when they were once in such an intimate relations.h.i.+p, she had never really gotten to know him.

He was like a Russian Nesting Doll. She tried to uncover him, layers by layers. But still, she could not reach deep down to what was hidden deep in his heart.

Since she was now having the task to drive him home, Xu Weilai politely asked, “CEO Gu, where do you want to go?”

“Back to the apartment.”Gu Yu didn’t open his eyes. He replied indifferently, but his voice sounded a little constrained as if he was trying to suppress certain things.

This place was very close to the apartment. It was only about a twenty minutes drive. Did he decide on going back to the apartment because he did not want to be in the same s.p.a.ce with her any minute longer?

Xu Weilai pursed her lips, started the engine, and stepped on the accelerator. The car joined the flow of traffic.

There was no traffic jam on the road today, but there were a lot of red lights along the way. The car had to stop every few minutes during the short journey. It might have been the continuous halt of the car, or perhaps just because Gu Yu drank a lot earlier and that made him uncomfortable. His face was growing pale gradually as colors seeped away from his face little by little.

Xu Weilai didn’t observe him on purpose, but as her gaze swept past him from the rear mirror, she could see that his face has turned so pale that even the blind could tell he was not feeling well.

She hesitated for a moment, but still decided to speak gently, “CEO Gu, you look extremely pale. Are you alright? Do you need to go to… the hospital?”

Just as she ended her words, Gu Yu coldly rejected her, “No need…”

His voice became even softer and he pursed his lips tight just when he was done saying two words.

Xu Weilai could only continue to drive towards the apartment. When she arrived at the apartment, she stopped the car and turned to look at Gu Yu. Just as she was about to tell him that she had already arrived, she saw his head pressed to the back of the car seat. His forehead was covered in sweat, and his brows were tightly furrowed. He looked like he was in terrible pain.
