Chapter 2262 — Kidnapping Wang Xinyan
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wang Xinyan had originally hoped Han Jingyi would call out to her on her own, but Han Jingyi looked so absorbed that she seemed not to have noticed class was over at all. Helpless, Wang Xinyan could only call out, "Jingjing, shall we head downstairs together now?"
"Huh? Class is over already?" Han Jingyi looked up in a daze, saw the empty classroom, and gave an embarrassed smile. "Sorry about that, I was too absorbed. Let's go downstairs now!"
"Mm..." Wang Xinyan agreed as if under some spell. She knew well the saying that what must come will come and what must not cannot be avoided. Gu Mengyao had issued the invitation, after all—she couldn't very well refuse to go, could she?
She walked out of the classroom with Han Jingyi, cautious and careful, like a new bride paying her first visit to her in-laws, her heart full of trepidation.
Han Jingyi, however, seemed not to notice. As they walked she said, "Sister Xinyan, I hear Sister Yaoyao has prepared a feast for tonight. By the way, do you like Western food?"
"It's all right..." Wang Xinyan was caught between laughter and tears. Han Jingyi was so relaxed, without a care in the world, but she—how could she have any appetite to think about food at a time like this?
In fact, Gu Mengyao's invitation to Wang Xinyan really had no other motive!
It was just that she'd heard from Han Jingyi that Wei Zhao and Wang Xinyan were very close at school, always stuck together during class, and Gu Mengyao figured there was probably something real between them. So, while Wei Zhao was away from home, she wanted to sound Wang Xinyan out.
"Wang Xinyan!" Seeing Wang Xinyan and Han Jingyi approach, Gu Mengyao smiled and greeted her.
"Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, hello..." Wang Xinyan's expression was a little unnatural, a little awkward.
"Wu Chengtian! We've met before!" Wu Chengtian gave Wang Xinyan a polite nod. Back in Yanjing, Wang Xinyan had been Kang Jinglong's girlfriend, so Wu Chengtian hadn't paid her much mind. But now that Wang Xinyan might become Wei Zhao's girlfriend, he naturally didn't dare be negligent.
Seeing Wu Chengtian, Wang Xinyan couldn't help recalling the scene in Yanjing when she'd dined with Kang Jinglong. Back then, Kang Jinglong and the Xiao family's juniors had all gone out of their way to curry favor with this man before her. And now she'd heard he had become Wei Zhao's lackey?
Wei Zhao really was something, taking on lackeys everywhere he went!
But before Wang Xinyan could say a word, a black van with no license plates suddenly came barreling over, screeching to a halt right beside her. A stone-faced man in black leaped out, seized Wang Xinyan by the arm, and started dragging her toward the van!
"Stop! Who are you?" Wu Chengtian was startled by the man in black. Wei Zhao had charged him with protecting the safety of Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, Han Jingyi, and Han Xiaochao, but Wang Xinyan might well be Wei Zhao's girlfriend in the future too. How could Wu Chengtian see this and just stand by? (To be continued.)RQ
