Zuo An stopped his sentence midway.

“Yea?” Xu Weilai stared at him with her jet-black eyes and her long curly eyelashes. Her head t.i.tled to one side subconsciously, which he found extremely charming, an irresistible temptation.

He could hear his own heartbeat thumping against his chest. He could no longer restrain the surging emotion in his heart. He moved forward towards Xu Weilai, closing off the distance between them and lowered his eyes as gaze at the Xu Weilai’s lovely and fair features in proximity. He whispered, with a hint of trepidation, “Weilai, can there be a place for me in your future?”

Can there be a place for me in your future…

Xu Weilai’s eyelashes fluttered. Her eyes blinked. She could feel her heartbeat skipped a few beats.

She secretly regulated her breathing before she could manage a relaxed smile. She maintained her usual tone. “Let’s see how you perform then.”

She could hear a delighted chuckle from Zuo An. “Alright, I can a.s.sure you of my performance.”

He was on cloud nine, as if he had gained certain qualification to be by her side.

Xu Weilai lowered her eyelids as she hid the complicated emotions she had in her eyes.

They continued their journey to the bespoke retail for Zuo An’s suit. As it was almost time for dinner, Zuo An turned towards Xu Weilai, “Do you have any dinner planned?”

Xu Weilai answered without giving much thought, “I haven’t thought about it. Perhaps just a simple dinner.”

“Since you haven’t thought about it, why don’t I decide for you?” Zuo An smiled and continued, “There’s a pretty good western restaurant on the sixth floor of this shopping mall. Do you want to try it?”

Xu Weilai’s footsteps came to a halt when she realized what was going on.

Asking her out for dinner was Zuo An’s ulterior motive of driving her to the shopping mall to collect the suit. Many kiss the child for the nurse’s sake.

She laughed heartily at her realisation, “Big Boss, if I refuse to have dinner with you now, wouldn’t it be a waste of your efforts?”

Zuo An did not feel embarra.s.sed even after she exposed his motive to his face. Instead, he still had his smile plastered on his face, “I’m fine with it going to waste if you’re not willing to.”

How could she refuse since he put it this way? She would certainly deemed to be ungrateful if she refused his invitation for dinner.

Xu Weilai shrugged. “Well, I can only say that you’re good at playing on my weakness. You know that I’m poor and certainly will not refuse a free meal.”

Zuo An couldn’t resist the temptation of physical touch as he raised his hand and rubbed on her head gently, “I don’t mind buying you meals for the rest of your life.”

“Seriously? That sounds great.” She took a step backward and added, “Come on. Let’s go. I’m starving.”

She turned around and hopped towards the escalator.

Zuo An pursed his lip as he looked at his hand frozen in the mid-air. He retracted his hand as if nothing happened earlier and went after her.

Zuo An still drove Xu Weilai back to her apartment after dinner. However, he got out of the car as well this time instead of just letting Xu Weilai got off the car and walked back to the apartment on her own.

Xu Weilai turned around to look at him and said, “There’s really no need to send me off. I can go up myself.”

“I’m not sending you off.”

Zuo An looked at Xu Weilai and hesitated for a moment. He opened up the words he had deep in his heart, “Can you invite me up to your apartment for a cup of coffee?”

Xu Weilai was speechless at his bluntness.

Even if Xu Weilai had never been in a real courts.h.i.+p, but she had certainly seen and learnt enough about courts.h.i.+p and relations.h.i.+ps. She was a die-hard fan of soap operas. How could she not understand the meaning behind a man’s request over having a coffee at a woman’s place?
