Chapter 513 — No Peeping

Glancing at the takeout container in her hand, Feng Xiaoxiao brightened with pleasant surprise. "A high-end hotel really is different — even the takeout boxes are sealed tight. Not a single drop spilled. Otherwise I'd have lost out big time! A sealed container like this must cost several yuan, right?"
"Heh..." Wei Zhao was amused by Feng Xiaoxiao all over again. She had very nearly smashed herself to bits, and yet here she was, worrying about whether anything had spilled out of her takeout box.
"Have you never eaten any of this good stuff before?" Wei Zhao had always assumed Feng Xiaoxiao's family was wealthy. Feng Tianlong's salary should have been more than decent — at the very least, each mission Wei Zhao himself carried out was worth upward of a hundred million; surely Feng Tianlong's earnings were not small either?
"Of course not!" Feng Xiaoxiao said wistfully. "This is the first time I've ever had anything this delicious. At school I live on instant noodles and cafeteria food — didn't you notice?"
"I noticed. I just assumed you were deliberately trying to get close to me." Wei Zhao really had thought exactly that before.
"That Audi TT of mine? I saved up years and years of pocket money to buy it! My monthly allowance is only ten thousand yuan!" Feng Xiaoxiao pouted.
Ten thousand yuan — a considerable sum for an ordinary person, but a far cry from what Gu Mengyao or Shen Yushu had to spend.
"Wu Chengtian may be an idiot, but Kang Jinglong is not, and neither are the other members of the Wu family. You'll probably get to eat like this just this once. If they don't come after you afterwards, you'll have gotten off lucky." Out of consideration for the fact that she was Feng Tianlong's daughter, Wei Zhao offered a word of warning.
"Are you... worried about me?" Feng Xiaoxiao blinked. Could it be that Wei Zhao had started to like her?
Wei Zhao said nothing and headed straight upstairs. The hotel lobby occupied the first floor; the elevators were only accessible from the second.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Feng Xiaoxiao hobbled after him, wincing with every step. "Ow, ow, ow — my backside!"
Feng Xiaoxiao's room was on the third floor, an economy rate — the lower the floor, the cheaper the price. She swiped her keycard to open the door, still sounding miffed. "Why were you walking so fast? How were you going to get in without me?"
Wei Zhao ignored her. He had not come here for her this time. He had come for Feng Tianlong, and there were things that needed to be said clearly once and for all.
"Have a seat — I'm going to take a shower!" Feng Xiaoxiao was soaked through. The water on her was not filthy, but it was still ground water from the street, and a girl like Feng Xiaoxiao naturally could not stand it.
"A shower?" Wei Zhao stared, blinking in disbelief. This Feng Xiaoxiao was audacious! She was actually going to take a shower? Was she trying to seduce him?
Seeing the astonishment on Wei Zhao's face, Feng Xiaoxiao instantly worked out what he was thinking, and her cheeks flushed red. "What kind of filthy thoughts are you having? I'm covered in dirt — it's miserable!"
"I wasn't having any filthy thoughts." Wei Zhao found the situation faintly absurd. It seemed he really had overthought things — though he would not admit as much.
"Hey! No peeking!" Feng Xiaoxiao shot him a glare, then turned and disappeared into the bathroom.
Wei Zhao naturally had no intention of peeking. However pretty Feng Xiaoxiao might be, he could not stomach this rebellious streak of hers. This girl was too much — wilder and more ruthless even than Shen Yushu.
Still, Feng Xiaoxiao's parting words did set the imagination running. After all, Wei Zhao had heard the saying about the monk and the nun.
Wei Zhao dropped onto the sofa at his leisure and placed a phone call to Tang Zhi. The line was still switched off. It seemed Tang Zhi had not turned her phone back on.
