Chapter 184 - Even If It Was Lie, He Would Believe It (2)

Gu Yu stopped in his tracks, freezing on the spot

His dark eyes landed on the view of Xu Weilai’s slim back. He couldn’t see the expression on her face when she spoke. He looked at her silently. He was slightly in a daze.

Even if that what she said was a lie… he would still choose to believe it!

It was getting later into the night.

Gu Yu and Xu Weilai bid farewell with Mr. and Mrs. Xu. When Mrs. Xu saw that Gu Yu and her son’s faces were both covered with bruises, she began feeling worried and agitated. She pulled Xu Weilai over and reminded her in a soft voice, “Yu must be unhappy with how this meal turned out. Once you get back, you must be gentler towards him, so that his anger will dissipate quickly. Do you understand? Your brother is still young, so I understand that he’s immature. As his older sister, you must be obedient.”

Mrs. Xu paused for a moment and looked at Xu Weilai’s emotionless face. She said earnestly, “I’m only doing this because I want the best for the two of you. Weilai, you must do as you’re told!”

Do as she was told… When was Xu Weilai ever disobedient?

Xu Weilai smiled, refusing to agree or disagree with her mother’s request. “Father, mother, Zhanwang, we’re leaving. There is no need for you to send us off.”

Naturally, Zhanwang didn’t listen to her. He hugged Xu Weilai’s shoulder and walked out immediately, hoping that their mother would stop nagging her.

Gu Yu nodded at Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu before leaving too.

After getting into the car, Xu Zhanwang leaned against the window of the driver’s seat and stared at Gu Yu intently. He threatened him, “Don’t bully my sister. If you do, I’ll make sure you never see her again!”

Gu Yu winded down the car window and moved his lips. “I have left the car key in your room. The car is in my garage. You’re welcome to take it any time.”

Xu Zhanwang snorted and gave him a look meaning that he didn’t want it. He refused to let Gu Yu try to buy his favor.

Gu Yu glanced at him from the corner of his eyes and gave an ambiguous smile. Then he started the engine and stepped on the accelerator, driving the care away from the Xu Residence.

In the apartment…

When Xu Weilai came out of the bathroom after her bath, she saw that Gu Yu had finished bathing too. He was sitting at the end of the bed with only a loose bathrobe on. There was a medkit placed on his right-hand side. He was waiting for her with an obedient look.

He stared at her intently with his black eyes. They followed her wherever she went. Even though he didn’t say anything, his intention was obvious.

His stare made Xu Weilai feel uncomfortable. She couldn’t even do her skincare routine properly. In the end, she gave up applying the serum and walked over to Gu Yu. She sat down beside him and opened the medkit.

Xu Weilai wasn’t sure how to explain the situation. Since her brother injured Gu Yu, she would apply the medicine for him as a sort of apology.

Gu Yu’s injuries were more serious that Zhanwang’s. She tried her best to apply the medicine lightly onto him, but a thin layer of sweat still formed on his forehead. However, he would at most furrow his brows. He didn’t exaggerate his screams of pain as Xu Zhanwang did.

It was understandable. Gu Yu had always been like this. Since he was always good at hiding how he felt, no one knew what he was thinking.

In the past, he was very uncomfortable and in pain during most of the recuperation period following the car accident. However, the most he would do was grab her hand. He never let her find out how much pain he was in.

At that time, her heart ached for him. She would always tell him, “Gu Yu, if you’re in pain, you don’t have to bear with it. You can let it out if you want. I’m here.”

Xu Weilai was so immersed in her memory that she didn’t notice how she said this sentence out loud. By the time she regained her senses, the man had already hugged her waist and pulled her into his arms. His lips landed on hers, leading into a kiss.

Xu Weilai widened her eyes. She instinctively tried to push Gu Yu away, but he managed to forcefully pin her down on the bed!
