Chapter 1455 — Wrong Person: Lately Wu Chengtian had stopped pestering Sun Jingyan. At first Sun Jingyan was rather pleased, but as the days wore on she discovered that she had heard nothing of Wei Zhao for a very long time.

It was not that Sun Jingyan liked Wei Zhao all that much; it was simply that she found him a strange and singular sort of person, that time spent in his company was always interesting, and that as a friend he was really rather good.
But now that Wu Chengtian no longer came to pester her, Sun Jingyan had no excuse to go looking for Wei Zhao either, and only then did she suddenly realize how utterly dull life really was!
Before Wu Chengtian started pestering her, before she had ever met Wei Zhao, she had not felt anything was amiss; busy with company affairs from morning to night, her life had been quite full.
But now, whenever she thought of the things she had done together with Wei Zhao, she found them thrilling and stirring beyond words!
Sun Jingyan was a woman of many facets. On the surface she appeared generous and dignified, the very image of a formidable businesswoman, yet beneath it all there lurked something rebellious and a little mad. Stealing the video files with Wei Zhao, conning Wu Chengtian together with Wei Zhao, Sun Jingyan thought that feeling was simply exhilarating!
Of course, everyone else knew that Wu Chengtian had become Wei Zhao's and Ergoudan's underling, but Sun Jingyan did not. Though she was of the Sun family, she had none of those information channels; she had fallen out with her family and rarely kept in touch with them at all, and had only seen her younger brother Sun Yikai once not long ago.
A ringtone sounded. Thinking it was a colleague from the company, Sun Jingyan picked up the phone without a second thought. "Hello, this is Sun Jingyan."
"Jingyi, it's me, the Great Robber." Wei Zhao was about to set out in search of the Fire Spirit Sacred Fruit, and his mood had turned rather good. Remembering the first time Sun Jingyan had called him, he could not resist making a joke.
"The Great Robber? You've got the wrong person... I don't know any Great Robber." Sun Jingyan was taken aback; her first instinct was that the caller had dialed a wrong number. But wait, he had called her "Jingyi," so he must know her... and the voice was familiar, too. A moment later, she caught on. "Wei Zhao?"
"It's me." Wei Zhao laughed. "It's been a long time. How have you been?"
"All right, I suppose... same as ever, running around busy all day..." For some reason, hearing Wei Zhao's voice made Sun Jingyan inordinately happy. "And you? How have you been lately? Have you forgotten all about your half-girlfriend here? You never even come to take me out anymore."
"Ha..." Wei Zhao chuckled. "But that was all pretend, wasn't it? How are we supposed to go on a date? Me getting handsy with you, that I could manage."
"You're impossible!" Sun Jingyan's face flushed. "How is that the only thing on your mind? You already have two girlfriends, so what's one more, me?"
"Yes... I have girlfriends..." Wei Zhao thought back to the time he and Feng Xiaoxiao and Sun Jingyan had teamed up to torment Wu Chengtian, and a wave of nostalgia came over him. "But Xiaoxiao is... unconscious now."
"Ah! She's in a coma? What happened?" Sun Jingyan was shocked. She had a good impression of that girl Feng Xiaoxiao; the two of them had made a rather well-coordinated team in giving Wu Chengtian a hard time, and hearing such news now, how could she not worry?
"Xiaoxiao, she..." Wei Zhao told Sun Jingyan all about Feng Xiaoxiao, including how the two of them had met and how they had come to be together. This was no secret; there was no harm in telling her.
"What! So much has happened between you and Xiaoxiao?" Sun Jingyan was deeply shaken by Wei Zhao's words. She would never have imagined that a girl who seemed so cheerful and so sharp-witted was already beyond cure, with one foot through the gates of death! Yet back then, she had shown not the slightest sign of it.
"Mm... so this trip away is to find medicine for her." Wei Zhao said, "I may be gone for some time. If you run into any trouble, just go to Wu Chengtian."
