Chapter 1684 — Was It Wei Zhao?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Oh... all right..." Little Ken fled Yu Xiaoke's room at once, as though a great weight had lifted. Lying to her face had weighed on him, so leaving quickly let him breathe again...
When Wei Zhao got back to the villa, Uncle Qing had just returned as well. During this stretch Wei Zhao had been away from home, and Uncle Qing and Wu Chengtian had been guarding Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu all along.
Originally it had been Wu Chengtian alone, but for fear of a repeat of what had happened on the road that day of the college entrance exams, and afraid that Wu Chengtian could not handle it by himself, Uncle Qing came back every evening. Today Wei Zhao had returned, but Uncle Qing did not know it, so after driving Gu Pengzhan home he had come back to the villa.
As Uncle Qing was parking, Wei Zhao's car happened to pull up beside his.
"Eh? Little Yi? You're back?" Uncle Qing said with some delight when he saw Wei Zhao. "Yaoyao and Xiaoshu have missed you terribly. Hurry inside?"
"Haha, Uncle Qing, I got back a while ago — only then something came up and I had to go out for a trip." Wei Zhao laughed. "They have already seen me!"
"So that is how it is — you have already met!" Uncle Qing nodded. "Those two have missed you sorely. Since you have seen them, let us go in together. Wait for me, I will get the groceries out of the car..."
Uncle Qing had bought some instant food. With Wei Zhao away, there was no one to cook for Yaoyao and Xiaoshu, and Uncle Qing often had to accompany Gu Pengzhan to business dinners, so he could not bring them meals every day; that left them to live on instant food.
Wei Zhao and Uncle Qing walked into the villa together. Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had already washed up and were getting ready for bed. Nothing much had happened lately, and they generally went to bed early at home. Seeing Wei Zhao come in, Shen Yushu said drowsily, "Arrow Brand Brother, you're back. I still wanted to hear you tell me a story, but I'm dead sleepy..."
"Then it will keep till tomorrow." Wei Zhao smiled. "There is no rush. You and Yaoyao get some rest; I happen to have something to discuss with Uncle Qing."
"Ah..." Shen Yushu was a little disappointed. "But I wanted Arrow Brand Brother to coax me to sleep..."
"That is enough, Xiaoshu. Wei Zhao has only just got back, and if he needs Uncle Qing for something, it must be important. Let us go to sleep and not disturb him." Gu Mengyao thought further ahead than Shen Yushu. When Wei Zhao had told them about the business with the Tang family, he had already said that he had no martial skills, that they were pure fabrication; so at this moment he and Uncle Qing must be discussing martial arts matters, and naturally she would not interrupt.
"Ah, okay." Shen Yushu yawned and nodded, and half-asleep was tugged upstairs by Gu Mengyao.
