Chapter 1957 — Not Such a Good Idea?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Hm? That's not right! It suddenly struck Wei Zhao that he had never told Sun Jingyan what he wanted to see her about. How could she possibly have known in advance? Then what had her words just now meant?
At that thought, Wei Zhao asked, his expression strange, "Jingyi, what did you mean by telling me not to call Wu Chengtian?"
"You... weren't you looking for me for that...? I'm not even ready myself — what would you want to bring Wu Chengtian for? I... I'm not that kind of loose woman!" Hearing that Wei Zhao seemed to be leaning toward calling Wu Chengtian after all, Sun Jingyan grew anxious at once.
This misunderstanding between the two of them arose simply because neither could see the other. Had Wei Zhao been able to see Sun Jingyan, he would most likely have guessed what she had misunderstood; and had Sun Jingyan been able to see Wei Zhao's strange expression just now, she would have realized she had misread him.
But as it happened, neither could see the other's face, and they could only guess at each other's meaning from the words spoken. And so this farce snowballed, until Sun Jingyan's anger finally burst out!
Yes, Wei Zhao was formidable, and she admitted to herself that she was drawn to him — but being drawn to someone did not mean she could just debase herself at will, did it? With him... she might not be entirely prepared, but in her heart she was willing. With Wu Chengtian, though? She would sooner kill herself outright!
"Huh?" Hearing Sun Jingyan's sudden outburst, Wei Zhao was at a loss for a moment. But by now he had finally understood what her misunderstanding was, and he was caught between laughter and tears: "Jingyi... how does being loose come into this at all? I came to see you because I wanted to ask about your Sun family's **cultivation method, and as for bringing Wu Chengtian, I wanted to discuss with the two of you what to do from here on. It was only afterward that I thought — Wu Chengtian may be no outsider, but where your cultivation method is concerned, it's better to keep things a bit more confidential, so I decided not to call him... Have you misunderstood something?"
"Ah! I..." Sun Jingyan's face burned even redder, and she wished she could crawl into a crack in the floor. No, really? She had misunderstood? And misunderstood so completely? How utterly mortifying! Fortunately, she knew Wei Zhao could not see her expression, so she coughed twice and said, "I didn't misunderstand anything. What I meant was... no one else has ever been to my boudoir... right, only the person I like is allowed in... so Wu Chengtian can't come... yes, that's exactly it..."
Listening to Sun Jingyan's incoherent explanation, Wei Zhao did not make a point of calling her out on it. The more he thought about it, the funnier it seemed — Sun Jingyan had actually thought he wanted to bring Wu Chengtian along to do that with her. Did he really seem that shameless and depraved?
"All right, all right. Then may I come?" Wei Zhao asked.
"You're my... half a lover, so no one else may come — you're the exception. You can come, just barely," Sun Jingyan said, a little embarrassed. She had not directly admitted that Wei Zhao was the one she liked, but it was a roundabout way of conceding it all the same.
