After the photos were taken, Xu Shilan's company staff had also just about finished packing up. Everyone was getting ready to leave for Xu Shilan's celebration banquet, and Feng Xiaoxiao had returned fully satisfied, so she did not plan to keep clinging to Xu Shilan either.
"Miss Xu, thank you." Wei Zhao nodded to Xu Shilan. Whatever else, Feng Xiaoxiao had been very happy today, and Wei Zhao's impression of Xu Shilan had improved.
"You are welcome. I really did not do anything." Xu Shilan shook her head and smiled.
"Then Xiaoxiao and I will not disturb you further. We will take our leave. I can see you still have other business. You are off to a celebration banquet, right? We will be going. As for the matter of a photo with my friend, we can talk about that another time." Wei Zhao did not want to trouble Xu Shilan too much. After all, he had already taken up so much of her time today, and he felt a little bad about it.
"Mr. Lin, please wait a moment..." Xu Shilan hesitated, then said, "In a while I do have to attend a celebration banquet, but might I invite you and Miss Feng to join us?"
Xu Shilan had two motives for doing this. First, she wanted to ask Wei Zhao whether her headaches could be cured. After all, this ailment had tormented her for so many years, and if there were a chance to get better, Xu Shilan would naturally not let it slip by. Second, Xu Shilan truly did pity Feng Xiaoxiao, and bringing her along to the celebration banquet would count as spending more time with her.
"Join the celebration banquet?" Wei Zhao's brows knitted slightly, and he grew somewhat suspicious of Xu Shilan's motives. He had done Xu Shilan a favor, but Xu Shilan had already repaid him by talking with Feng Xiaoxiao and taking pictures with her. That should have settled the debt between them, leaving neither owing the other. For Xu Shilan now to invite him and Feng Xiaoxiao to her celebration banquet was a little too enthusiastic!
Could she have some other purpose? Wei Zhao was no fool. Xu Shilan's purpose was probably nothing other than his treatment of her illness. Her headache had only been temporarily held down by his acupuncture and massage, but it would flare up again. If Xu Shilan was looking for him, Wei Zhao really could not think of any other reason besides that.
"Mr. Lin, to tell the truth." Xu Shilan hesitated, then hid nothing. "First, I feel a special affinity with Miss Xiaoxiao, a kind of natural closeness. I do not have many friends, so I would like to take Xiaoxiao as my friend. Second, I have some physical problems I would like to consult Mr. Lin about!"
"Oh —" Wei Zhao was rather surprised by Xu Shilan's frankness, though his overall impression of Xu Shilan rose a few points. "Ask Xiaoxiao what she thinks."
By saying that, Wei Zhao was effectively not refusing Xu Shilan's suggestion, but leaving it to her to ask Feng Xiaoxiao. If Feng Xiaoxiao agreed, then he would naturally have no objection. Wei Zhao's thoughts were all on Feng Xiaoxiao now; as long as she was happy, anything was fine.
As for the pains in Xu Shilan's body, that was a small matter. If Feng Xiaoxiao was truly happy, then Wei Zhao would have no problem helping Xu Shilan out.
