Zuo An was definitely being too direct, yet Xu Weilai no longer found it shocking as he had already given her the “surprise” during the meal they had together.
Xu Weilai tapped on the navigation application in her phone anyway, then clipped the middle of her phone on the navigation rack, “Follow this navigation from now on. Stop going in circles.”
Zuo An obediently replied, “Okay.”
He observed the road condition and turned his steering wheel around as he made a U-Turn after he made sure that there were no cars coming towards them.
The car was finally on the right course as they drove in the direction of Xu Weilai’s apartment.
Xu Weilai looked out of the window as she took some time to admire the scenery outside. But eventually, she couldn’t hold it in any longer. She turned her head around and looked at Zuo An, who was having all his attention on the drive. “Big Boss, are you always so simple and straightforward when you woo a girl?”
Zuo An pondered for a moment. He returned the question with another question, “Is there anything wrong with it?”
The question startled Xu Weilai, who was waiting for an answer.
Is there anything wrong with it? Well, it didn’t seem wrong; it was just that he would unintentionally drive girls away instead if he was being too direct or straightforward.
His action had already made her jump out of her skin twice, despite her ever strong heart.
Xu Weilai contemplated on her words before she replied, “Well, there was nothing wrong with it, but it was just the beginning of the courtship. Be more tactful about it. You might scare people off if you’re being so direct all the time.”
“I see...” Zuo An nodded as if he was being enlightened.
Xu Weilai was about to compliment him for being promising when she heard Zuo An said, “I got it. You like tactful men. I’ll be more tactful in the future.”
That got her speechless.
She was telling him to be tactful when courting girls, not because she liked tactful men.
“That’s not what I meant, I...” Xu Weilai subconsciously defended herself.
The car came to a stop at the red light. Zuo An turned towards her in surprise and asked, “You don’t like tactful men? So, you still prefer direct ones?”
Xu Weilai found herself trapped by his question.
How did she end up being hoisted with her own petard?
She got furious and replied to him in a feigned annoyance, “As you like it. I’m not saying another word.”
Zuo An grinned. He gave it a thought and gently coaxed her, “My mother told me that, if I ever met someone I like in the future, I should tell her directly how I feel so that I don’t easily miss a chance at love.”
Xu Weilai stared at Zuo An, dumbfounded at the mention of his mother as it came rather unexpectedly to her.
Although he called for his mother before this, it was when he was in a semi-conscious state. He was now talking about her with a rational state of mind.
“So, please forgive me if you find this offensive and was too direct. I will restrain myself if you are not comfortable with it.”
He called for his mother when he was in danger. Now that he was fine, he still remembered her words so well and obediently abide by it. Zuo An must have loved his mother deeply.
Xu Weilai couldn’t bring herself to tell him to go against his mother’s words. Why should she interfere with what he thought to be right?
“Although I’m not too comfortable with it, you can still act according to your thoughts. What your mother said is right.”
How courageous would a person need to be to face their own feeling and to express how they felt towards a person they liked?
She envied such fearlessness. She used to be fearless, but she was no longer the fearless Xu Weilai.
