“To take care of me… This implies that he wants to kill me,” Xu Weilai thought.

However, this did not come as a surprise to Xu Weilai. She could tell from Aunt Bai’s attitude yesterday that things weren’t simple. Besides, it was impossible for Father Zuo to put up with her since she had discovered the matter between him and Aunt Bai.

Xu Weilai instantly fell silent.

Zuo An seemed to be waiting for her reaction, for he stopped talking after saying this and simply waited for her response patiently.

Things instantly felt strange between them for Zuo An had just introduced her as a girl whom he liked to his mother moments ago but now, he was actually saying such a thing to her.

Zuo An had always been hard to read. Or rather, it was easy to guess his thoughts when he intended to let someone read his mind and when he does not want others to see through him, it would be hard to figure out what was on his mind.

As Xu Weilai was currently in Zuo An’s territory, she knew that it would certainly be impossible for her to escape if he really wanted to do something to her and running away would be most unwise.

The only thing that she could do now was to figure out what Zuo An wanted.

Xu Weilai took a few deep breaths to calm herself down before she tried her best to speak to him calmly, “Have you made up your mind then? Do you intend to kill me?”

Zuo An chuckled when he saw how composed she was and he remarked, “As expected, you could still remain so calm and collected even at a critical moment like this. You’re always so special… That’s why…” Zuo An’s voice trailed off. “That’s why he likes her, doesn’t he?” he thought.

The rest of his words remained stuck in his throat.

Unbothered by this, Xu Weilai forced out a wry smile and rebutted, “What else could I do? Cry and beg for mercy? Will you let me off if I did that? If so, then I certainly wouldn’t mind doing it.”

After a pause, she blinked mischievously and added, “You know how much I value my life. I’m still so young and beautiful. I haven’t lived a full life yet.”

Zuo An laughed and assured, “You could still live even if you don’t go to such extent.”

“Huh?” Xu Weilai instantly caught onto the crux of what he had said and cocked her head before she asked, “Big Boss, so you’re not going to kill me?”

“Yes.”

Staring at her fixedly with his jet black eyes, Zuo An murmured, “I couldn’t bear to.”

“Couldn’t bear to…” the words echoed in Xu Weilai’s mind.

Xu Weilai, who had been joking around and pretending to be relaxed, turned slightly more serious when she heard his reply, for she could tell that he was being sincere.

“But…”

Zuo An turned his head aside and threw one quick glance at the tombstone behind him before he suppressed his volume and replied in a husky voice, “Weilai, I can’t lose.”

His eyes darkened when he turned to look at Xu Weilai once again. “Gu Yu and I are destined to be enemies. Weilai, you have to be mine if you want to live. You have to gain the trust of me and my father. We want absolute trust.”

Xu Weilai frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”

“You’ll know soon enough,” Zuo An replied.

Before Xu Weilai could react, he suddenly reached over and struck her hard on the neck with his hand.

Xu Weilai’s vision was clouded out by darkness as her body collapsed.

She could feel Zuo An catch hold of her with his arms and lean her against the nook of his arm before he murmured in a low and barely audible voice, “I hope you wouldn’t disappoint me again this time.”

…

Zuo An carried Xu Weilai out of the cemetery and placed her in the car before he lowered his head and stared fixedly at her face. After a few seconds, he then took out his phone and made a call.
