Chapter 633 — The Same Question
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"By the way, when you were little, you and Yaoyao buried an iron box in the yard. What secret is inside it, really?" Chen Yuxuan had asked his sister out of curiosity back then, but she had blushed and refused to answer.
And Gu Mengyao had also deliberately avoided answering this question. For a while afterward, Chen Yuxuan remained very curious about what secret that box held, but he never got an answer. Later he went off to the special training brigade, gradually grew up, and became an armed police soldier stationed on the frontier.
"That box? It's nothing really — just a vow between me and Sister Yaoyao!" Shen Yushu didn't feel embarrassed about it now. Over the years Shen Yushu's character had taken shape — always this sort of silly, great-wisdom-appearing-foolish manner, able to fool anyone to death without batting an eye.
"A vow? What vow?" Chen Yuxuan asked.
An Liwen, too, was wide-eyed, waiting for Shen Yushu's answer. He had little interest in other people's affairs, but Shen Yushu had said this involved a vow of Gu Mengyao's, and anything concerning Gu Mengyao he was exceedingly eager to know.
"Our vow was that one day we'd marry the same man as Yaoyao. Yaoyao would be the first wife, and I'd be the second!" Shen Yushu said, rather pleased with herself.
"Xiaoshu, don't talk nonsense!" Gu Mengyao's face flushed slightly. What sort of vow was that? To this day she had no idea how she had ever agreed to it. Back then she had only thought she didn't want to be parted from Xiaoshu, so that the two of them could be together for a lifetime. But now that she had grown up, looking back, how childish her former self had been. Was such a thing really possible?
Could Xiaoshu really marry the same man as her? Even if she herself agreed, wouldn't it frighten off whatever boyfriend she might have in the future? At this thought, Gu Mengyao did not know why, but the image of a certain person surfaced in her mind... Wei Zhao? Why would she think of him? If Xiaoshu married him, they would actually make a rather fitting pair. Perhaps he was the only one who could put up with Shen Yushu's antics — after living under the same roof for so long, Wei Zhao still did not seem to have grown tired of her.
Chen Yuxuan had never imagined that his little sister had made such a vow when she was so young. Could it be that all those things she had been saying about first wives and second wives were true? She really intended to marry the same man as Gu Mengyao? That was simply too absurd.
It did not serve the interests of the Chen family at all. How could a girl of the Chen family possibly become another man's second wife? How could Grandfather ever agree to that?
Of course, if that man were sufficiently powerful, sought after by all the great houses, then it might be possible. But such men seemed exceedingly rare, and even if one existed, could he tolerate his little sister?
Better that he not end up enjoying none of the second wife's gentleness, only to be pranked to death by her instead.
Chen Yuxuan's gaze came to rest, unbidden, on Wei Zhao. If this man were his instructor, then perhaps he would be a rather good choice?
