Xu Weilai's words seemed to have hit a spot in Zuo An's heart for he appeared to be lost in thoughts for a fleeting moment before he quickly recovered and flashed her an innocent grin as he replied, "Not all men will hurt women. At least..."
He looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated on second thought and changed the subject instead, "Weilai, since you could share such a fatal weakness of Gu Yu's to prove your loyalty to me, there's no reason for me to reject you."
He then extended a hand to her and welcomed her, "Glad to have you in the team. I'm sincere about it this time."
Xu Weilai, too, reached out her hand and shook his as she "Wish us...success. Hope that we'll both get what we want."
"Look forward to working with you."
Xu Weilai smiled and pulled her hand away.
Feeling the instant loss of the soft touch of her palms, Zuo An subconsciously swept one glance at his empty palms before he, too, retracted it calmly.
