“Anyone but him.”
These sudden words from him took her by surprise. Stunned, she blinked as she couldn’t tell whether she was hallucinating when she heard these words from him.
With a ding, the elevator reached the first floor, and the door slowly opened.
However, before it opened fully, Gu Yu reached out his hand and pressed the button to close the door. The opening door closed.
Xu Weilai turned her face sideways and looked at the man who had also turned around to face her. She pursed her lips and asked with uncertainty in her tone, “Were you talking to me just now?”
Gu Yu’s gaze fell on Xu Weilai’s face. His lips moved again repeated what he said just now, “Anyone but him.”
So he was indeed talking to her.
Although this sentence was without rhyme or reason, Xu Weilai quickly understood the meaning behind those words.
Gu Yu had also heard the rumors about her and her Big Boss. He was saying these to her because he too believed in those rumors.
Anyone but him. Did he mean she can be with anyone except for her Big Boss?
Xu Weilai smirked. But there was no hint of smiles in her eyes, only endless mockery. She raised her head and looked into his deep dark eyes, deep as ever, so deep that no one could see through his emotional barriers. “What did you say? Say it again,” as if she did not hear him the first time.
Gu Yu actually did not seem bothered to have to repeat, “Anyone but…”
A heavy blow landed on his cheek before he finished his sentence. Xu Weilai slapped him across his face.
He did not dodge and just let the blow land on his face. He only paused for a moment before he continued, “Zuo An.”
Xu Weilai put a lot of strength into the slap. Although she did not know whether Gu Yu’s face hurt, her hand certainly did. She wanted to slap him again and again when she saw that he actually finished his sentence calmly.
She closed her eyes to suppress the boiling anger in her heart. She did not want to lose control over a string of words from him when he could still maintain his composure so well.
Xu Weilai sneered and retorted, “Gu Yu, anyone but him?”
Anyone could question, talked and even stopped her from flirting and being with anyone she wanted except for him. Gu Yu had no right to say anything, let alone to control who she could and could not be with.
“Gu Yu, I don’t know your position in saying these to me. But don’t you think you’re being ridiculous? It was you who insisted on cutting all ties between us. It was also you who wanted us to be complete strangers. It was you who pushed me out of your world with no mercy.”
“Don’t you think you’re being nosy for saying these to me? Or you actually think that I will still have to listen to you because I used to be your wife? Even if you were the one to divorce me, and treated me heartlessly, I would still need to listen to you? Your words decide who I could and could not be with? Just because Zuo An was on the opposition side, that makes him your enemy and I should not be with your enemy. Is that what you mean?”
“If that’s what you mean, if that’s what you are thinking, let me tell you this. I’m not giving you what you want. In fact, I will go against it. The more you don’t want it, the more I’m going to do it.”
