Chapter 645: Mutually Beneficial Relationship (1)

While she was making all sorts of guesses, Gu Yu had already finished taking his medicine and put down the water. He didn’t get up and go out. Instead, he leaned against the headboard of the bed and closed his eyes, as if he was taking a nap.

Afraid that the slightest movement would alarm him, Xu Weilai still didn’t dare to move at all. After an unknown amount of time, her body was so stiff that it was starting to ache. When her forehead started to sweat involuntarily, she heard the sound of Gu Yu’s long and even breathing. It was as if he had already fallen asleep.

Only then did she slowly and gently lift up the blanket to reveal only a small gap at her eyes. She looked at the man beside her.

Gu Yu quietly leaned against the headboard of the bed. His complexion indeed wasn’t very good. His cheeks were slightly pale, and his lips didn’t have any color. Even though he had fallen asleep, he was restless and his brows were furrowed.

Was he really sick? It was rare to see him appear so weak.

Did he have a cold or a fever? But those pills just now didn’t seem like ordinary cold or fever pills!

“Cough...”

A violent cough suddenly sounded, and the man woke up from his deep sleep. His long eyelashes trembled, and his eyes were open.

Xu Weilai was so scared that she immediately put down the quilt and pulled it back without daring to move at all.

Gu Yu kept coughing for a while. His coughing became heavier and heavier. He didn’t appear like he would stop coughing anytime soon. In the end, he suddenly got off the bed and rushed to the bathroom.

Then, Xu Weilai not only heard the coughing sound, but also the sound of vomiting.

But she didn’t have time to analyze it carefully. Gu Yu walked away. If she didn’t seize this opportunity to leave this place now, she wouldn’t be able to leave again when he came out.

Xu Weilai lifted the blanket and quickly got up. She quickly put the blanket back and rushed to the door of the lounge in a few steps. She pulled the door open, stepped out, and closed the door.

She stood at the door for half a minute. The coughing inside didn’t seem to have stopped. She struggled internally and hesitated. In the end, she lifted her foot and walked out of the office step by step.

Gu Yu was a grown man after all. He should be able to take care of himself.

Moreover, what right did she have to care about him now? Perhaps... if her heart really softened for a moment, not only would he not appreciate her kindness, he might even mock her.

Xu Weilai went downstairs to the office and looked at the time. It had already been more than an hour. It was already twelve o’clock.

When she returned to Xiao Chun’s apartment, she didn’t expect to find that Xiao Chun was still awake. Drinking beer while watching the live broadcast of the race, she hugged her pillow and sat on the sofa. When she saw Xu Weilai walk in, she turned her head to look at her. “Lil’ Weilai, why are you so late? Zuo An isn’t harassing a rookie secretary like you, is he?”

Xu Weilai changed her shoes and walked in. She sat on the sofa and shook her head. “No, I was delayed by something else.”

“Oh? If it’s not work-related, what could have possibly delayed you?” Xiao Chun teased her dramatically. “It can’t be that you went on a date, could it?”

Date... what date?! She had gone to be a thief, but unfortunately, she returned empty-handed. No, it wasn’t completely fruitless. At least... she kept feeling that the bottles of medicine and Gu Yu’s condition today were very suspicious.

She thought about it for a moment, but still pulled at Xiao Chun and asked, “Chunchun, have you seen Gu Yu in the past week?”

Xiao Chun replied, “Yes, I’ve had a few meetings in the past few days, and I’ve seen him. What’s wrong?”

“Then... has he been sick these past few days? Does he look like he’s in a bad mental state?”
