Chapter 2407 — A Strange Answer
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"I... Yaoyao, I have a fiancé, so I can't be with Wei Zhao." Wang Xinyan gritted her teeth and said it with a hardened heart.
"A fiancé? You mean Kang Jinglong?" Gu Mengyao knew about the business between Wang Xinyan and the Kang family as well, but in her view, the Kang family was already a spent force, and even the hidden Pi family that backed the Xiao family had become Wei Zhao's underlings. What was left for Wang Xinyan to refuse?
"Yes... my parents' command and a matchmaker's word—I must abide by them," Wang Xinyan said.
"So you're going to marry Kang Jinglong?" Gu Mengyao found Wang Xinyan's words strange. "You don't seem like such a stubborn person."
"I don't want to make things difficult for my parents, and I'm the one who agreed to this in the first place... Yaoyao, please don't force me, I'm begging you..." Wang Xinyan said with a bitter smile.
"That... you..." Gu Mengyao was left speechless by Wang Xinyan's words! She too had assumed that Wang Xinyan's sudden departure was out of shyness, that she had found it all too sudden—but now it seemed that was not the case at all. Wang Xinyan had some other hardship she could not speak of!
"Yaoyao, I've already told you—Wei Zhao and I are just good friends, really..." As Wang Xinyan said this, her heart was bleeding. She could now be utterly certain of her own feelings! She liked Wei Zhao. She liked being with him!
Just today, when Wei Zhao confessed, Wang Xinyan had nearly said yes! Even after walking out of the villa, her heart had turned back several times, wanting to go accept his confession! But then her mother's final phone call had come and snuffed out that fluttering in her heart.
"But it's obvious that Wei Zhao really needs you when he cultivates..." Gu Mengyao was unwilling to let it go. She did not believe Wang Xinyan truly did not like Wei Zhao! A woman's intuition had let Gu Mengyao sense Wang Xinyan's feelings many times, but for some reason, Wang Xinyan simply would not admit it.
"During university... I won't get married..." Wang Xinyan said after a pause. "In this period, can't Wei Zhao and I just be good friends?"
"Good friends..." Gu Mengyao smiled bitterly, a little helpless. "Then let me ask you one last thing—do you like Wei Zhao or not?"
"I... my phone's out of battery..." With that, Wang Xinyan quickly hung up and turned off her phone. She could not bring herself to say things she did not mean! To say she did not like Wei Zhao? That would be fooling herself—so Wang Xinyan chose to run away.
"..." Gu Mengyao held the phone up, somewhat speechless. She had not expected Wang Xinyan to end with a line like that!
This result amounted to no result at all; she had asked for nothing.
"When something's off, there's bound to be a demon behind it!" Because Gu Mengyao had made the call on speakerphone, Shen Yushu had heard every word clearly from beside her. RQ
