Chapter 619 — An Liwen Pays a Visit
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Oh, I see!" Hearing Gu Mengyao's tone, An Liwen gathered that she did not wish to dwell on the matter, so he said no more about it. "Xiaoshu, Brother Tian comes back tomorrow, and Taizao and I are hosting a dinner to welcome him. Why don't you come too? Your brother hasn't seen you in ages, has he?"
"All right." Shen Yushu agreed without much thought — after all, she had not seen her brother in a long time, and there was no reason to refuse.
Gu Mengyao was rather annoyed. How could Shen Yushu just agree like that? If she went, could Gu Mengyao possibly not go along? Was this banquet An Liwen was giving for Chen Yuxuan, or for her? Probably only An Liwen himself knew.
"Yao Yao, then you'll come along too?" An Liwen asked with a smile.
"Wei Zhao, you have nothing planned tomorrow evening, do you?" Gu Mengyao ignored An Liwen's invitation and instead turned to Wei Zhao. "You're coming with us!"
"Fine." Wei Zhao replied, his tone as bland as ever.
An Liwen was not entirely pleased about Wei Zhao tagging along, but the moment he thought of the fact that having Gu Mengyao show up at all was already good enough, he knew he couldn't afford to stir up extra trouble. If he refused to let Wei Zhao come and Gu Mengyao flew into a huff and refused to go herself, that would be far worse.
So he laughed and said, "Haha, Yaoyao, even if you hadn't said a word, I would have invited Brother Wei Zhao regardless. The two of us are close friends, you know!"
"Is there anything else?" Gu Mengyao glanced at An Liwen and asked.
An Liwen knew perfectly well that Gu Mengyao was about to show him the door, but he was reluctant to leave just yet and wanted to linger a little longer. Then inspiration struck. "Let's wait for Taizao a bit. He went to buy fruit. Little Shu is sick, after all -- we as her older brothers can hardly turn up empty-handed, can we?"
"Oh, then tell him to buy more. I'm starving to death!" The moment Shen Yushu heard that Su Taizao was out shopping, she issued her instructions accordingly.
"Sure, I'll give him a call right now!" An Liwen's eyes lit up on the spot -- finally, he had an excuse to stay a while longer! Fearing Gu Mengyao might interfere, he quickly pulled out his phone and dialed Su Taizao's number. "Taizao? Little Shu is hungry. Buy some more fruit, and pick up dinner too. Make a few extra stops, get a few more things -- whatever you do, don't buy too little!"
An Liwen's hint was obvious enough. As long as Su Taizao wasn't a complete idiot, he would surely get the message: stay out a while longer, and don't rush straight back.
Su Taizao was no fool either. The moment he heard An Liwen's words, he understood perfectly. He pulled the car over to the side of the road and said, "Brother An, I'm really sorry about this. There's a bit of a traffic jam on the road. Don't worry!"
