Chapter 1008 — As a Reward
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"I... Sister Tang Zhi, you're teasing me!" Feng Xiaoxiao's face flushed red at once. But after a moment's hesitation she said, very softly, "Sister Tang Zhi, can you truly accept me, and not just out of spite? We're in a crisis right now. That Shen Yushu is cunning; the two of us should join hands, or we'll never beat her. She wants to be Wei Zhao's little wife too — if we keep fighting among ourselves, the enemy will slip straight through the gap!"
"This..." Tang Zhi had in fact accepted Feng Xiaoxiao in her heart long ago, but just now, so that Feng Xiaoxiao would not see through her, she still pretended to hesitate, brooding over it a while before she said, "I'll try..."
"Heh heh, Sister Tang Zhi, don't worry, I will absolutely defend your interests!" Feng Xiaoxiao thumped her chest in pledge. "I'm a person who gives credit and blame where they're due. Whoever treats me well, I'll remember it in my heart. I'll fight Shen Yushu to the bitter end!"
"Heh... Actually, Shen Yushu just likes to make a fuss. Between her and Wei Zhao, there's really nothing going on..." Tang Zhi was on good terms with Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu, and in truth she did not much want Feng Xiaoxiao to make enemies of them.
"Hmm... then it all depends on their attitude!" Feng Xiaoxiao brandished a fist.
Wei Zhao drove on in front, pretending not to hear. To be honest, the hostility between Shen Yushu and Feng Xiaoxiao gave him a headache. It seemed he would have to make things clear with the Eldest Miss and Xiaoshu tonight; otherwise, with Xiaoshu there throwing sand in the gears, who knew what trouble might come of it.
He dropped Tang Zhi off at the hospital first. Though it was very late, the hospital was still a bustle of people coming and going; the First People's Hospital ran around the clock, and plenty of people came at night to see a doctor, with ambulances pulling in and out. Wei Zhao was not worried about Tang Zhi's safety.
Only after watching Tang Zhi walk into the hospital and vanish from sight did Wei Zhao start the car, ready to drive Feng Xiaoxiao home.
And Feng Xiaoxiao now sat in the passenger seat. With Tang Zhi out of the car, there was nothing left for her to feel awkward about.
Wei Zhao wanted to open his mouth and say something to Feng Xiaoxiao, but he did not know what to say. Honestly, it was not that he felt nothing for Feng Xiaoxiao — it was that he could not adapt to the shift in attitude. Before, he had approached Feng Xiaoxiao from a stance of caution; now his heart had changed, but his manner could not adjust all at once.
To treat Feng Xiaoxiao suddenly the same as he treated Tang Zhi — that felt awkward to Wei Zhao, and he feared it would give him away.
Fortunately, most of the time when Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao were together, he was a man of few words anyway.
"Wei Zhao, has my father contacted you?" Feng Xiaoxiao spoke first; she too did not know what topic to open with.
All that afternoon, Feng Xiaoxiao had felt as though she were living in a dream. The thing she had striven for so long had actually come true all at once — she really was Wei Zhao's girlfriend? A little wife, yes, but the substance was the same, and so Feng Xiaoxiao did not care.
But it had all been too fast; Feng Xiaoxiao still could not quite get used to it. Tang Zhi had fallen for her trick so easily? Feng Xiaoxiao had a feeling of unreality.
