Chapter 1073 — Feng Xiaoxiao's Regret
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Qiu Lingshan's tone had been a little displeased earlier because Wei Zhao had clearly been at the scene yet had never shown himself, which left her feeling somewhat regretful, as though Wei Zhao were deliberately avoiding her. That was why she had felt wronged and wanted to call and ask him about it.
But she had barely asked a single question before Wei Zhao grew unhappy, and Qiu Lingshan could only correct herself in an even more aggrieved tone. She was afraid that if Wei Zhao took offense, he would simply stand her up tomorrow.
"What happened today, it wasn't suitable for me to show my face." Wei Zhao explained mildly.
Qiu Lingshan was briefly taken aback, then understood what Wei Zhao meant. Wei Zhao had always been a low-key person; he had done so many things before, yet in the end had given all the credit to her, and that said it all.
"Yeah. You're all right, aren't you? What happened today, we couldn't interfere, and we don't know the inside story." Only when Qiu Lingshan saw that Wei Zhao was not angry did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Nothing's wrong." Wei Zhao shook his head. "You came looking for me just for this?"
"Not exactly. I just wanted to ask, can you come find me tomorrow?" Qiu Lingshan asked.
"Find you?" Wei Zhao was startled.
"Yeah... to help me... improve my strength..." Qiu Lingshan was both embarrassed and indignant. Wei Zhao had actually forgotten about this? Honestly! How could she matter so little in his eyes? It seemed the little fool still had to keep working at it!
"Oh, that..." Wei Zhao did recall it now. He had promised Qiu Lingshan that he would go to her home over the weekend to help her improve her strength. These past few days he had been thinking constantly about taking Feng Xiaoxiao racing, and had pushed the matter to the back of his mind. A little apologetically, he said: "I'll come find you tomorrow. At the police station?"
"Come to my place..." Qiu Lingshan said after a moment's hesitation. She felt that for something like this, it would be more reassuring to do it at home; in the office, it always felt a bit awkward.
"Where's your home?" Wei Zhao did not decline.
"How about this: come find me at the police station tomorrow morning. I'll be staying in the office tonight, and then I'll take you to my home." Qiu Lingshan thought for a moment and said.
"Fine." Wei Zhao agreed readily.
Feng Xiaoxiao was conflicted, or rather, deeply conflicted!
She had discovered that she truly had fallen in love with Wei Zhao, and not just a little—she loved him very, very much! This should have been a good thing, for it would let her experience the taste of a passionate romance before she died, so the deeper her feelings grew, the better.
And now, Wei Zhao cared about her more and more, something Feng Xiaoxiao had once longed for in vain! Because only then would Wei Zhao be all the more grieved at the moment of her death, and her goal of revenge would be achieved!
But at this moment, Feng Xiaoxiao felt a little regretful! Even as she fell deeply in love with Wei Zhao, she also cared more and more about his feelings. She did not want her death to bring him pain and burden—that would be a terrible thing to do. If she died, how sad would Wei Zhao be?
