Chapter 248: Choose Others by Consulting Your Heart, Love Others by First Loving Yourself

The car stopped at the hotel entrance. Before Wei Lai got out, Xu Gao suddenly called out to her.

"Wei Lai,"

Wei Lai paused. The atmosphere in the car was suffocating; she was worried Xu Gao might impulsively say something he shouldn't.

She smiled and said, "You've worked hard today. Go rest, good night."

Xu Gao's face flashed with a bit of awkwardness for a few seconds, barely managing a smile, and said, "Good night. I'll pick you up in the morning for the hospital."

Wei Lai said, "If you have work at your law firm, I can go by myself. You focus on your own work."

Xu Gao said, "It's okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow."

The cramped space inside the car made even their shared glances feel ambiguously abrupt. Wei Lai quickly got out of the car and jogged into the hotel.

It wasn't until Wei Lai returned to her room and the window lights turned on that Xu Gao checked through the curtain's gap from below to make sure she was safe before driving away.
