Chapter 1310 — A Touch of Melancholy

"Xiaohan, if you like the food, then come often from now on — you're always welcome here!" Gu Mengyao was the mistress of this villa, and this was the right moment for her to say it.
"I'd love to, Yaoyao, but I won't be in Songshan City many more days — I'll be leaving very soon." Xu Shilan spoke with some regret. "But whenever I'm free, I'll come find you all! It's so happy being with you, no pressure at all!"
"That's wonderful — you must come often from now on!" Shen Yushu said happily.
"Yes, you must come, or I'll die..." Feng Xiaoxiao said pitifully.
"Don't talk like that. Your boyfriend's medical skill is so brilliant — there's bound to be a way!" Xu Shilan said.
"I hope so," Feng Xiaoxiao sighed.
"All right, let's not talk about it. Everyone eat." Wei Zhao did not want to go on with this subject. Just now the mere thought of these matters gave him a headache, and he had no good solution. All he could do was take one step and see.
After dinner, at Shen Yushu's suggestion, they started singing karaoke. The sound system in the young mistress's home was no worse than V's — only the highest-grade electronics had gone into the renovations. So after Xu Shilan adjusted the sound, she found herself quite satisfied.
At first it was Xu Shilan singing for everyone; later they took turns. What surprised Xu Shilan was that all of them had fine voices, no worse than her own — give them a little training and they would have the makings of stars.
Wei Zhao sat on the sofa listening to the girls sing, and felt a warm and cozy feeling. This kind of easeful life was something he would never have dared hope for or imagine in the past. Had he ever pictured days like these, he would not have turned Xiaoning down back then — and that was something Wei Zhao still brooded over to this day.
But what was missed was missed; some things could never go back to the way they were. And now Wei Zhao's relations with the Yu family were tense. Was the Hidden Yu family and the Yu family actually in league? Whatever the case, Wei Zhao knew that as he was now, wanting to marry Xiaoning was utterly impossible.
The Hidden Yu family's threshold was very high, and they had placed great hopes on Xiaoning, raising her as one of their own. How could an ordinary man ever pass muster in the Yu family's eyes? Back then Wei Zhao had been merely a Yellow-rank expert; even now he was only Mystic-rank — and the Yu family was said to have Heaven-rank experts among its ranks.
This too was the root of Wei Zhao's sense of inferiority: he could give Yu Ning no stable life, nor could he contend with the Yu family.
Thinking of these bygone things, Wei Zhao could not help but sigh.
And yet, thinking of his life now — with Tang Zhi at his side, and Feng Xiaoxiao, that little bringer of joy — Wei Zhao had no regrets. Whatever became of him, Tang Zhi would never leave him nor forsake him; she was the one who would walk through life at his side.
A sorrowful song drew Wei Zhao back from his thoughts. It was a classic old tune, now drifting slowly from Feng Xiaoxiao's lips...
Paired with the faint melancholy in Feng Xiaoxiao's voice, it sent a sudden pang through Wei Zhao's heart...
