Zuo An lowered his head and looked at the Americano in his hand. He brought it to his mouth and took a sip.
He had long been accustomed to the bitterness and astringency of black coffee, especially Starbucks’ black coffee. The bitter taste was extremely strong and challenging to one’s taste buds. He was clearly used to it but at this moment, for some unknown reason, but he actually felt bitter… He furrowed his brows unconsciously.
Xu Weilai turned her head to look at him. She said, “It’s very bitter, right? I just don’t understand why you guys like to drink it so bitter. Hence, when I make coffee for Gu Yu, I always add some milk on my own accord. I think it tastes better this way.”
Hearing Gu Yu’s name at this time, Zuo An’s brows furrowed even deeper. “Then why didn’t you help me add some milk?”
Xu Weilai took another sip of her latte. After swallowing it, she smiled. “Although this answer might be a little hurtful, I think it’s better to tell you the truth.”
She turned around and faced Zuo An. She said every word seriously, “Because I like him, I want to give him all the good stuff. I think black coffee is bitter so I add milk to it. This way, when he drinks it, the taste will be better. As for you, you told me before that you’re used to drinking black coffee. I’m just your secretary. It’s only natural that I’ll only do things according to your habits.”
As she said this, she thought of something and continued, “I only found out later that Gu Yu also likes to drink black coffee. But, he won’t refuse it when I added milk. No matter what I bring to him, even if he doesn’t like it, even if he’s expressionless towards me, he’ll still drink it.”
“But… you won’t be able to do it, right?”
Xu Weilai’s sentence was a question, However, the tone of her voice was one of affirmation.
Zuo An also turned to look at her. Her eyes were still as clear as ever, so clear that… he wanted to refute with a “I can”. Yet, he couldn’t say it out loud.
He was unwilling to answer this question so he could only remain silent.
“Big boss.” Xu Weilai suddenly shouted these two words that he hadn’t heard for a long time.
Zuo An’s gray eyes flickered slightly.
“In my heart, you have always been a very good boss. When I was in Z magazine, I always remembered your kindness to me in my heart. I have always been grateful to you.”
“But that’s all.”
Xu Weilai was never a sloppy person. When she said she wanted to give it a try, even if she had some personal motives, she was sincere too.
But when it came to love, if there was no feeling, there was no feeling. She had tried it and knew the result so she gave him the answer. She wanted to finish what she started.
It was an expected answer but when he really heard it, Zuo An’s heart felt as if it was being clasped by something.
He subconsciously tightened his grip on the americano.
As if he was grasping the last strand of hope, he stared at Xu Weilai with his dark eyes and said, “If… If I didn’t do those things, would you fall in love with me?”
Before he went to the Zuo residence, he clearly felt that… she was actually a little shaken.
Xu Weilai’s eyes were calm, and her words were resolute. “No.” After a pause, she added, “It’s like… you wouldn’t stop doing those things for me, even if you knew that you would hurt me.”
Zuo An suddenly smiled mockingly. “Will Gu Yu do this?”
