Chapter 1382 — Greedy Yu Xiao Ke
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"What about my hand?" Wei Zhao blinked, plainly not catching on. He was still angry—why would he notice where his hand had landed? Prompted by her words, he unconsciously moved his hand.
"Your hand... and you're still squeezing!" Yu Xiao Ke was about to explode. She sprang down off him. "You... you... you're taking liberties with me!"
Wei Zhao was dumbfounded. He looked at his hand and replayed the sensation of a moment ago... It seemed, perhaps, that he had indeed been touching Yu Xiao Ke's breast? Damn it, was there any need to be so wretched? He had finally worked up the nerve to play the rogue for once, and he hadn't even known it, hadn't even felt it—and then he had let go!
"In the heat of the moment, I didn't notice." Wei Zhao was rather embarrassed, but what he said was true: he had genuinely not noticed such a small detail earlier. To save Yu Xiao Ke, in that desperate instant, how could he have cared whether his hand landed on her breast?
"Oh..." Yu Xiao Ke was no fool. Thinking back over what had happened, Wei Zhao probably had not done it on purpose. Still, to be taken advantage of for nothing left her feeling cheated. "Thank you..."
"Enough, let's go." Wei Zhao spoke flatly, then turned and went straight after Elder Yu and Old Black. His aim was Zhang Lifeng's medical notes, and he could not let Elder Yu reach them first and quietly make off with them.
"Oh..." Yu Xiao Ke cast a reluctant glance at the boulder. She knew there was no getting back what lay beneath it. She sighed and hurried to catch up with Wei Zhao.
Chen Yuxuan followed as well, saying little. Whatever passed between Wei Zhao and Yu Xiao Ke was scant concern of his. Qiu Lingshan, however, knitted her brows slightly; the sight of Wei Zhao carrying on in such an ambiguous way with a female thief rather displeased her.
Ahead, Elder Yu and Old Black were examining the contents of the display cabinets. The cabinets held antiques, every one of them out of the ordinary, each worth a fortune once taken outside. Of course, that was relative: in their own day these things might have been worthless, which was why they had been set in the outer ring. But times had changed, and these were genuine antiques now—their value was another matter entirely.
Yu Xiao Ke pressed her lips together and said nothing. She still felt giddy, as though she were floating. Just like that, she had been groped? Watching Wei Zhao's back, a complicated look flickered through her eyes. Oh, yes—what had he called her just now? Yu Xiao Ke?
Dimly, Yu Xiao Ke seemed to hear the Male Thief addressing her that way!
