Chapter 526 — The Same Auction Item
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
At the auction hall, however, he could not avoid running into Feng Xiaoxiao again.
"Wei Zhao!" Holding two bottles of drink, Feng Xiaoxiao ran up to him, her cheeks slightly flushed, as though she were thinking of the events of the previous night.
"Is your body feeling all right now?" Wei Zhao took the drink Feng Xiaoxiao handed him without thinking. His relationship with Feng Xiaoxiao was a strange one, and with Feng Tianlong dragged into it as well, it gave Wei Zhao a bit of a headache.
"Oh, it's nothing anymore." Feng Xiaoxiao shook her head, but her usual forthrightness was gone, replaced by something shy.
Feng Xiaoxiao's expression only left Wei Zhao more helpless. He had to admit that yesterday he had been somewhat moved, but that stirring had been pure carnal impulse, not any real fondness for Feng Xiaoxiao.
It was only that Feng Xiaoxiao's condition the day before had struck Wei Zhao as strange; never before had he encountered anything so bizarre.
"Feng Xiaoxiao, there was some bad blood between us before, but yesterday I saved your life..." Wei Zhao paused to consider, then said, "I think we can call it even now, don't you?"
"Huh?" Feng Xiaoxiao was taken aback, though she quickly grasped what Wei Zhao meant. He did not want her coming after him for revenge anymore... But she... did she still want revenge now?
Had Wei Zhao not brought it up, Feng Xiaoxiao might never have noticed. But now that he had, she suddenly realized that her hatred for Wei Zhao had actually faded... The screaming, hoarse-cry thirst for vengeance of before was gone, and mixed into it now were emotions complex and hard to name.
This Wei Zhao had seen her body bare for nothing, and yet he gave no sign of taking responsibility, and was even thinking of letting it end like this?
"What bad blood do we have? Wasn't that settled long ago?" Feng Xiaoxiao had made up her mind, and she looked at Wei Zhao with an expression of puzzlement.
"Feng Xiaoxiao, let's be frank with each other. What exactly are you trying to do?" Wei Zhao was unmoved by her look of innocence.
"I... I like you. I... I just want to be with you, I don't want to do anything else..." Feng Xiaoxiao looked at Wei Zhao with an aggrieved air. "Don't tell me you're not going to take responsibility for me..."
"..." Wei Zhao was struck speechless for a moment. He knew that saying anything more to Feng Xiaoxiao would do no good, so he could only ignore her.
Feng Xiaoxiao was not angry in the least. Wei Zhao paid her no attention, so she went on flipping through the auction catalog in her hands as if nothing had happened.
The lights gradually dimmed, and the spotlights on the auction stage ahead came up. Yu Haitian walked out from behind the curtain, gave a courteous bow, and said, "Welcome, guests, to the second session of the auction!"
Wei Zhao had little interest in the vast majority of the lots. Apart from some valuable antiques, there were dates with fairly famous stars, and then some jewelry and the like.
At last they came to the Ten Thousand Year Spring Wooden Box that Wei Zhao was interested in, and Lai Pangzi, who had been half asleep, jerked bolt upright.
Wei Zhao found it rather amusing. This fellow really was a piece of work. That worked too?
"Heh heh, Boss, just watch me. As long as nobody bids against us, landing it shouldn't be any trouble at all!" Lai Pangzi patted his chest in assurance.
