Of course, what Xu Shilan did not know was that Fat Lai had already written her off as Wei Zhao's stand-in — with a chance, someday, of being promoted to official girlfriend — and Fat Lai would never entertain any thought about his boss's woman.
It was only that the Guan Daifu analgesic had not yet gone into mass production; the company held merely a handful of samples, so if Xu Shilan wanted any, she still had to get it from Wei Zhao.
"Today? Fine!" Wei Zhao happened to have nothing on. "As it happens, I've just brought back a pile of seafood from the restaurant — come along and eat with us."
"Seafood... to go?" Xu Shilan stared, then could not decide whether to laugh or cry. "All right — give me the address and I'll be right there!"
"The address is Seaview Villa Bay..." Wei Zhao told her. "If you can't find it, use navigation."
"Fine — wait for me, then." It was rare for Xu Shilan to have a friend at all, and one with no ulterior motive toward her; it let her relax completely in their company. Otherwise it was hard for her to make any true friends: women who approached her mostly rode on her halo to claw their way up, and men who approached her only had sordid things on their minds.
But Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao were different — both perfectly decent people. And through her dealings with Fat Lai, Xu Shilan had found that Wei Zhao's friends were all decent too; presumably those friends Wei Zhao had mentioned, the ones who wanted photos with her, were no worse — otherwise a proud and haughty soul like Wei Zhao would find it hard to accept anyone.
The moment he hung up, Feng Xiaoxiao could hardly contain herself and asked, "Hubby Wei Zhao — is Xu Shilan coming?"
"Yes. She'll come by the house in a while to pick up her medicine; the three of you can play together a bit." Wei Zhao seemed to think Xu Shilan's coming to the door was the most ordinary thing in the world — had it been anyone else, a superstar turning up would have left them beside themselves with excitement.
"Wonderful — then let's all sing here at home and have Xu Shilan perform for us live!" Feng Xiaoxiao exclaimed. "I'll call Sister Tang Zhi right now — we'll go fetch her!"
Wei Zhao did not follow stars, so naturally he could not fathom the feelings of Xu Shilan's fans.
The moment they reached the house, Feng Xiaoxiao told Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu the thrilling news. Tang Zhi was equally pleased, though not nearly as animated as Feng Xiaoxiao; she simply greeted Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu with a smile.
Tang Zhi had already become a regular guest at the villa, and she was quite at ease here.
"Shouldn't we prepare something tonight to entertain Xu Shilan?" As the mistress of the house, Gu Mengyao naturally could not neglect a guest — let alone a guest who was a major star.
"No need to trouble yourselves — I've brought back a whole pile of seafood." Wei Zhao hefted the big bundle of takeout boxes in his hands. "Packed up from the Overlord Fish Seafood Pavilion. Some fool treated us to dinner today."
"A fool?" Gu Mengyao was puzzled.
"Just a fool who was trying to court Tang Zhi," Wei Zhao explained briefly; as for Zhao Fafa's business, he could not be bothered to say more.
True to her word, Xu Shilan arrived the moment she said she would. While Wei Zhao and the others were still talking, the doorbell rang outside; clearly she had set out the instant she hung up. The roads were unfamiliar to her, but Wei Zhao had lost time fetching Tang Zhi as well, so the two of them arrived almost on each other's heels.
Feng Xiaoxiao and Shen Yushu bolted out to open the door. The household had gone from one live wire to two, and Wei Zhao had long since accepted the fact.
