Chapter 734: We Will Certainly Stay in the Same Room (2)

“We will certainly stay in the same room.”

Xu Weilai blinked. She tilted her head and gave Zuo Si a puzzled look as she stared at Zuo Si, as if Zuo Si had just asked a foolish question. “Miss Zuo, aren’t you asking a ridiculous question too? Why? Were you hoping that Zuo An and I have a poor relations.h.i.+p as well?”

Xu Weilai used Zuo Si’s words back on her.

Xu Weilai’s unexpected retaliation startled Zuo Si. But a smile quickly reappeared on her face. “Of course not. I sincerely hope that your relations.h.i.+p prosper and remains affectionate.”

Zuo Si returned Xu Weilai’s attack with the words the butler said earlier.

Everyone in the hall could feel the clashes and undercurrent that flowed underneath the courteous smile and polite words.

The butler gave out a light cough and tried to smooth thing over. He intercepted at the right time to stop the rising conflict between the two couples, “In that case, I won’t prepare any more guest rooms. The long journey must have taken its toll on all of you. They have already tidied the room up. Have a good rest.”

Zuo Si was the first to stand up among them. She headed upstair to her room without another word.

Gu Yu followed her lead as he too stood up and walked away from them with the usual poker face.

The butler turned towards the maid in the hall and order them to have Zuo Si and Gu Yu’s luggage sent to their room, to which the maid immediately responded and acted on his order.

After they disappeared up the staircase, Zuo An gently inquire, “Weilai, do you want to take a rest in my room?”

Xu Weilai a.s.sumed the rooms should be on the second floor. Although she felt slightly exhausted from the flight earlier, they might get into another conflict if she went to the room and b.u.mped into Gu Yu and Zuo Si. She would rather avoid them at this moment and catch her breath elsewhere.

She replied Zuo An, “I’m not tired yet. Why don’t… you show me around your… home?”

Xu Weilai was a little hesitant when she mouthed the last word as she was unsure whether Zuo An lived here because she noticed the butler addressed him as Young Master An while they addressed Zuo Si as Young Mistress.

They should have addressed him as Young Master instead in a normal circ.u.mstance.

Zuo An did not explain further, although he could read the queries on her mind. He simply complied with her request, “Sure, let me show you around.”

They stood up and walked out of the hall.

The Zuo Family Residence occupied a large compound surrounded by mountains and was facing a river. They built it based on the architecture unique to the southern province, luxurious and beautiful. The style lacked formality of the north, but showed elegance instead.

Although the built of Zuo Family Residence amazed Xu Weilai, it was not jaw dropping for her as she had also seen the majestic of Gu Family Residence, which was on par with Zuo Family Residence.

Zuo An knew that her request for him to show her around was just an excuse. Thus, he too, did not bother to make much introduction on the residence. They just walked at ease side by side.

Xu Weilai revealed a hint of fatigue after half an hour on her tour around the residence. Zuo An immediately noticed that and suggested, “I’m a little tired. Shall we go back to our room and take a rest?”

His intention was obvious to Xu Weilai, but she did not refuse, “Okay.”

Zuo An’s room was indeed on the second floor, but was at the far end of the corridor from Zuo Si’s room, which was facing the north and south direction, respectively.

The relations.h.i.+p between the two of them was indeed extremely terrible, and they did not bother to hide it in Zuo Family Residence.

Xu Weilai and Zuo An entered the room prepared for them, and this would be where they were going to stay for the next few days. The awkwardness between them increased in the privacy of a bedroom when they were left alone behind the closed door.

When Zuo An caught Xu Weilai staring at the king-sized bed, he apologetically said, “Weilai, I’m sorry for this.”
