Chapter 547 — An Awkward Predicament
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
By rights, the third auction session was the main event, the one where the truly fine goods went under the hammer and the great families made their moves. But Wei Zhao was not a man given to refined pretensions, and he had no interest whatsoever in the genuinely top-grade jewelry and antiques.
"Boss, isn't there anything you like?" Seeing that Wei Zhao had issued no instructions and had simply set the auction catalog aside, Fatty Lai asked, uneasy.
"Nothing worth my money." Wei Zhao shook his head. "If something catches your eye, go ahead. I'm going to sleep a while."
Fatty Lai gave a wry smile. Of all the people at the third auction session, Wei Zhao was probably the only one sleeping.
Feng Xiaoxiao was still sitting beside Wei Zhao. Even if he tried to shoo her away, she would not leave, so Wei Zhao did not bother to open his mouth.
"Hey, Wei Zhao, tell me, am I the girl who knows the most of your secrets?" Feng Xiaoxiao had no intention of letting him sleep, and tugged at him to talk.
"What do you mean by that?" Wei Zhao understood perfectly well, and pretended he did not.
"Tang Zhi doesn't know you started a company, does she? Doesn't know you can heal people, does she? Even those two young ladies at your home don't know you as well as I do, do they?" As she said this, Feng Xiaoxiao could not help feeling a little smug. When she thought about it, she was still the person who understood Wei Zhao best!
"Oh... maybe so." Wei Zhao spoke faintly, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
"........." Seeing Wei Zhao's utterly indifferent look, Feng Xiaoxiao could not help feeling annoyed. What sort of person was this, with not a shred of romantic feeling? If it were any other boy, he would probably be terribly excited. Could it be that her tone had not been suggestive enough?
Feng Xiaoxiao had never chased after a boy before, much less been in a relationship. All her knowledge came entirely from the internet and from books, so at this moment she had no idea how to respond, and could only sulk in silence.
"If there's nothing else, I'm going to sleep a while." Wei Zhao glanced at Feng Xiaoxiao. "I'm a bit tired."
"Then... I'm a bit tired too! I'll sleep too." Feng Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, leaned her body to one side, and laid her head on Wei Zhao's shoulder. "Good night!"
Wei Zhao frowned and tried to shift sideways, but Feng Xiaoxiao's head seemed to have grown a magnet: whichever way he moved, she followed. Surely Wei Zhao could not simply lie down on Guan Xuewen?
"Stop fooling around!" Wei Zhao snapped.
"Snore... snore..." Feng Xiaoxiao pretended to be asleep and ignored Wei Zhao.
Seeing Feng Xiaoxiao act so shamelessly, Wei Zhao's courage rose from his gall. So you want to play games with me? Then let us play to the end and see who loses out! Wei Zhao reached out and put his arm around Feng Xiaoxiao's fragrant shoulder, his hand wandering without restraint toward her chest.
"Ah—" Feng Xiaoxiao let out a low cry, and her face flushed scarlet in an instant! She had never expected Wei Zhao to be so bold as to assault her chest! Feng Xiaoxiao was about to leap up and kick Wei Zhao into lifelong childlessness!
But then Feng Xiaoxiao came to a sudden realization: she was the one seducing Wei Zhao here, and her aim was to make him like her. How could she unleash her childless-for-life kick on him? Now that he was touching her chest, shouldn't she put up a token resistance while welcoming him?
At this thought, Feng Xiaoxiao immediately grew a little coy. Having a boy touch her chest was, more or less, a loss for her, but to capture Wei Zhao's heart, a small sacrifice was only natural. If it were back when she had just met Wei Zhao, Feng Xiaoxiao would have absolutely rejected his touch, but now, in her heart, she truly felt a little of that token resistance mingled with welcome.
