Chapter 1009 — A Little Tempted

"Ah... well... of course not!" Feng Xiaoxiao was hardly about to admit it. "Sister Tang Zhi accepted me because she saw what a good person I am."
"Pfft..." Wei Zhao nearly drove the car into a tree. A good person? Still, he knew perfectly well what was really going on, and he did not call her out on it.
"What are you laughing at?" Feng Xiaoxiao saw Wei Zhao's strange smile and felt a little aggrieved. "Sister Tang Zhi really did accept me of her own accord!"
Wei Zhao shrugged. "I really don't know what goes on in that head of yours. A girl as pretty as you — is there any kind of boyfriend you couldn't get? And yet you insist on being someone else's little wife!"
"So what?" Feng Xiaoxiao was utterly unbothered. "Hmph, if I didn't take the job, plenty of others would be fighting to. That Shen Yushu, for instance, always going oh-so-cute. Wei Zhao, you absolutely mustn't let her bewitch you!"
Wei Zhao shook his head. Feng Xiaoxiao and Shen Yushu were well and truly at each other's throats now. Things were going to be a headache from here on.
"We're on Ningshi Road. Where's your place?" As he spoke, Wei Zhao's car had already reached Ningshi Road.
"Turn left at the intersection ahead, then go about five hundred meters and we're there," Feng Xiaoxiao said after a glance at the road.
Five hundred meters was not far. In the blink of an eye, it seemed, they had arrived, and Wei Zhao's car pulled up at the entrance to a residential compound.
The compound was large in scale, but it was not one of those especially luxurious ones. From that, one could tell that Feng Xiaoxiao's family circumstances were not particularly well-off... And when Wei Zhao thought about it, that made sense. Feng Xiaoxiao had lost her mother as a child and had been raised single-handed by Feng Tianlong. Feng Tianlong's yearly salary was high enough, true, but after all he lived a life of licking blood from the edge of a blade, and it came to only about a million a year. There was no way he could afford one of those luxury villas.
"This is it..." Feng Xiaoxiao directed Wei Zhao to drive into the compound and park in front of one of the buildings. "This is where I live. Building three, top floor."
"Be careful going up. Send me a message when you get inside," Wei Zhao said with a nod.
Actually, Wei Zhao had only said it in passing. The compound's security was quite good; patrol cars passed by at regular intervals, and there was generally no trouble from bad characters. Besides, every building entrance had an electronic door, and the elevators inside were under camera surveillance.
"You... don't want to come up and sit for a while?" Feng Xiaoxiao was suddenly reluctant to part. She had been so happy today, and she was terribly afraid it was all a dream — that once she went upstairs, she would find that none of it was real.
To be sure, Feng Xiaoxiao had gone into this relationship with Wei Zhao with the attitude of taking revenge on him and making him suffer — that way she could savor the taste of romance in the final moments of her life, and at the same time achieve her goal of getting back at Wei Zhao!
