Chapter 534 — No Need for Tang Zhi
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Used and then thrown away? Several black lines rose over Wei Zhao's head. The way she put it, the ambiguity was a bit much, wasn't it? What did she mean, used and then thrown away? As if he had done something to her.
"Then how do you want me to thank you?" Wei Zhao had no choice but to ask.
"Treat me to a big meal. I want something good!" Feng Xiaoxiao said.
"I can't afford seafood. Beef noodles, take it or leave it," Wei Zhao said flatly.
"Oh... fine." Feng Xiaoxiao nodded indifferently. "What we eat doesn't matter. What matters is who you eat it with."
"..." Wei Zhao hung up, somewhat speechless. He had no idea what had gotten into Feng Xiaoxiao's head. Day after day it was either hints or confessions! Wei Zhao refused to believe that after he had dressed her down a few times, the girl had actually fallen for him. Was she some kind of masochist?
Not long after, Kang Xiaofeng called back. "Boss, did you and Tang Zhi break up? Why is Liu Xinlan saying you're ungrateful and that you've abandoned Tang Zhi?"
"Huh?" Wei Zhao was stunned. "Abandoned Tang Zhi? Broken up? Since when?"
"You didn't know?" Kang Xiaofeng was stunned too.
"I've been in Yanjing the whole time. How would I know?" Wei Zhao smiled bitterly. "Are you sure Liu Xinlan wasn't pulling your leg?"
"I don't know either. Who knows what's going on. I called her and Liu Xinlan just tore into me the moment she picked up, then told me to pass a message to you, boss: Tang Zhi doesn't care to be with you. If you don't want her, there are plenty of people lined up waiting!" Kang Xiaofeng was rather depressed too. That phone call had been a complete waste. "I'll ask Xiaofen tomorrow and find out what's really going on."
"All right, ask her for me tomorrow." Wei Zhao frowned. Could there be some misunderstanding here? Tang Zhi wasn't so petty that she would think he had abandoned her just because he had stood her up once, was she?
Less than a minute after he hung up on Kang Xiaofeng, Feng Xiaoxiao called again. "Wei Zhao, why did you hang up on me? Is that how you treat a pretty girl?"
Feng Xiaoxiao was genuinely angry. What gave him the right? What gave Wei Zhao the right to ignore her like that? Even when she asked him to buy her a meal, he acted like he couldn't stand it, as if she really cared about that one meal.
"Has Uncle Feng come back yet?" Wei Zhao did not get tangled up in Feng Xiaoxiao's topic, because once he did, there would be no end to it. He simply steered the conversation elsewhere. This was something he had learned from Shen Yushu.
"No. Why, are you in a hurry to meet your father-in-law?" Feng Xiaoxiao teased.
Wei Zhao had not expected Feng Xiaoxiao to steer the conversation right back with a single sentence. He had to admire her. This girl really was a match for Shen Yushu. One played the fool, the other was a mischievous little sprite, but neither of them was any pushover.
"Then give me a call after Uncle Feng gets back. I'm going to sleep," Wei Zhao said, and made to hang up.
"Hey, wait! When are you going to treat me to beef noodles? I want a big bowl with extra meat!" Feng Xiaoxiao said urgently.
"We'll see when I have time." Wei Zhao truly could not figure out what Feng Xiaoxiao was thinking. One bowl of beef noodles, was it really worth all this?
