Chapter 600 — Keeping Him for Xiaoshu's Sake
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Xiaoshu has a secret crush on Wei Zhao? Doesn't Wei Zhao already have a girlfriend?" Gu Pengzhan asked tentatively.
"Well... yes, that's just it — that's why Wei Zhao is so hateful! He already has such a pretty girl as Xiaoshu in the house, and still he goes out philandering!" Gu Mengyao said, thoroughly convinced. "Daddy, wouldn't you say he's simply dreadful?"
"Mmm... now that you mention it." Gu Pengzhan could not help but find it rather amusing. So this was the real reason his daughter called Wei Zhao hateful, was it?
"So you see, for Xiaoshu's sake, I'll just put up with it — better not to dismiss him after all," Gu Mengyao said.
"But Wei Zhao already has a girlfriend — what's to become of Xiaoshu?" Gu Pengzhan asked, somewhat puzzled. In truth, he also wanted to see where his daughter stood.
"Her? She spends all day dreaming of being someone's mistress, so it probably won't be much of a problem!" Gu Mengyao said.
"Mistress?" Gu Pengzhan shook his head. "Is that true or not?"
"Who knows? She's flighty and wild all day long — I can't tell if it's true or not." Gu Mengyao shook her head. "Daddy, you just leave this matter alone and let Xiaoshu handle it herself, all right?"
"All right, then I'll leave it alone!" Gu Pengzhan smiled and rose to his feet. "Well, it's quite late. I'll be off. You two get to bed early! Tomorrow may be the weekend, but you still can't stay up all night!"
"Mm..." Gu Mengyao sighed with relief. He would not be dismissing Wei Zhao after all.
Though tomorrow was the weekend, Gu Pengzhan still had work to attend to, so he departed first with Uncle Qing. Wei Zhao had just finished clearing the table and settled into a moment's leisure when his phone rang.
Wei Zhao took out his phone and glanced at the screen — it was Tang Zhi calling.
"Hello, Tang Zhi." Wei Zhao picked up. "You're back at the hospital?"
"Mm, just got here not long ago. Mom made me eat something first, and now she's gone to keep Dad company, so I'm only just calling you." Tang Zhi's voice was very gentle, like a young wife pining for her husband.
"Heh, I'll come see you tomorrow. That wound on your head should be almost healed by now," Wei Zhao said with a laugh.
"Mm..." Tang Zhi touched her forehead. Sure enough, it didn't hurt at all anymore — it seemed the remedy had already taken effect.
"It's so late, why aren't you resting yet? Is there something you wanted to call about?" Wei Zhao asked with some puzzlement. Ordinarily, if there was nothing pressing, Tang Zhi would not initiate a call on her own.
"You... are you at Gu Mengyao's house?" Tang Zhi hesitated a moment before asking.
"Yes, I'm here," Wei Zhao said plainly, making no attempt to hide it.
"Oh..." Tang Zhi had in truth already known Wei Zhao must be at Gu Mengyao's house, but she could not help wanting to confirm it for herself.
"Don't worry — I'm staying downstairs. They're upstairs," Wei Zhao reassured her.
