Chapter 1035 — I Miss You

"Oh, is something the matter?" Wei Zhao asked. Usually when Qiu Lingshan called him it was never good news. Either she could not catch some criminal, or she had some trouble she wanted him to help solve.
"No... nothing." Qiu Lingshan felt awkward. She had dialed Wei Zhao on impulse without knowing why, but now that the call had actually gone through, she had no idea what to say.
"Nothing? Then why are you calling?" Wei Zhao was puzzled. As he saw it, whenever Qiu Lingshan sought him out there was bound to be trouble, and he had helped with all he could, so her hemming and hawing made him wonder if something serious had happened. So he said, "Do you need my help with some trouble?"
"No... not really..." A few days ago Qiu Lingshan had been very bold, but boldness lasted only a moment. Not having contacted Wei Zhao for several days made it hard for her to bring herself to speak.
"Then I'll hang up?" Wei Zhao found it baffling. If you have something to say, say it. If not, why call at all?
"Don't hang up..." Qiu Lingshan hesitated, and seeing Wei Zhao about to hang up, she suddenly grew bolder. She had already come in with a nothing-left-to-lose attitude, so in her excitement she stopped caring about anything. "I... I miss you!"
"Huh?" Wei Zhao froze. "What did you say?"
"I... this little silly girl misses you!" This time Qiu Lingshan was neither coy nor reserved, and said it boldly outright.
Wei Zhao frowned. Toward Qiu Lingshan, he could not say he felt much affection. Admiration he certainly had, but it was admiration for her figure, and he did not much like her personality. Although she had changed a great deal lately, he had never once thought of her in romantic terms!
In his eyes, he and Qiu Lingshan were simply not people from the same world, and she would never understand his life, so he had deliberately kept a certain distance from her! That was also why, in the basement of An Liwen's kidney-harvesting syndicate headquarters, he had stopped short in the face of her naked temptation!
To say he had felt nothing would be a lie. Wei Zhao was a physiologically normal man, only he was a man with rather good self-control. If he acted on impulse alone, he could never have lived to this day.
Now, Qiu Lingshan's hint seemed to have grown rather obvious, which gave Wei Zhao a headache. He decided to find a chance to have a proper talk with her!
Wei Zhao did not believe Qiu Lingshan had truly fallen in love with him. With her forceful personality, he could roughly guess why she was developing feelings for him! Suitors like Chen Yuxuan obeyed her every wish, while Wei Zhao, who went completely against the grain, had struck her as refreshingly new all at once!
Unable to resist yet unable to beat him, she could only accept it! And after accepting it for a long time, she naturally came to feel that a man with his temperament suited her, and her so-called declaration about choosing a mate, that her man had to be stronger than her, had become another reason for her leaning toward Wei Zhao!
