Chapter 1044 — Wu Chengtian Makes His Move
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
But since Wu Chengtian said Wei Zhao would be joining, Sun Jingyan hesitated. She hadn't seen Wei Zhao in so long, and she did rather want to see him. After all, she was more or less half his lover, and she had some fondness for Wei Zhao. So meeting him now and then made her happy.
The two cars drove one behind the other toward Songshan No. 1 High School.
Sun Jingyan led the way, Wu Chengtian following behind. She parked on the snack street behind No. 1 High School—the same place she had picked Wei Zhao up last time. She had never imagined Wei Zhao was a student there; she'd simply assumed he lived nearby.
Sun Jingyan's car pulled up beside the Beetle, while Wu Chengtian's Audi TT parked next to her Audi A4L.
After they got out, Wu Chengtian sidled over. "Should I call Wei Zhao now? Where is this? We're waiting for him here?"
"Oh..." Sun Jingyan frowned and unconsciously started walking toward the street corner not far away. She didn't want to stand so close to Wu Chengtian—it made her uncomfortable. As for why she'd parked here: partly because this was where she'd picked Wei Zhao up last time, but mainly because she didn't want to wait with Wu Chengtian downstairs at her own home. She didn't want anyone to see her with him; being spotted by an acquaintance would be humiliating. Coming here had been an arbitrary choice.
But Wu Chengtian seemed oblivious to her disgust. When she walked, he followed right beside her, dialing Wei Zhao's number as they went.
Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao had just arrived in the classroom when the phone in his pocket buzzed. He took it out and glanced at the caller ID—unfamiliar. Still, he answered: "Hello, who's this?"
"Is this Wei Zhao?" Wu Chengtian asked.
"Speaking. And you?" Wei Zhao didn't recognize Wu Chengtian's voice. He didn't care about people like Wu Chengtian, so naturally he hadn't bothered to remember his number or voice.
"It's Wu Chengtian. I'm back in Songshan now, and I'm with Jingyi! I'd like to treat you and your girlfriend to a nice meal—do you have time?" Wu Chengtian asked.
With Sun Jingyan? Girlfriend? Wei Zhao was briefly startled, but then he understood—the girlfriend Wu Chengtian meant must be Feng Xiaoxiao.
He'd intended to refuse outright, but then he thought of Feng Xiaoxiao's personality. She might very well enjoy attending such a dinner, so he said to Wu Chengtian, "Hold on, let me ask Xiaoxiao."
"All right!" Wu Chengtian was overjoyed to hear a glimmer of hope. His main goal was to invite Feng Xiaoxiao to dinner; if only Wei Zhao came, he wouldn't even want to bother. Not only would Wei Zhao fail to help him show off, he'd also compete with him for Sun Jingyan's attention.
