Chapter 2390 — Wang Xinyan's Decision, Part One
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
In fact, this time it had been Shen Yushu herself who proposed making Wang Xinyan Wei Zhao's primary wife. Was she truly unhappy because of this? Even Gu Mengyao found it a little hard to believe.
To say Gu Mengyao was unhappy might have some truth to it, but to say Xiao Shu was unhappy seemed rather impossible. Her thinking from the very beginning had been that so long as she could be with Wei Zhao—whether she had status or not, whether she was an official girlfriend or not, even if every other woman were the primary wife and she herself merely a secondary one—she would be satisfied.
So Gu Mengyao was puzzled: why did Xiao Shu seem to have changed character today? Could it be that she no longer wished to be a secondary wife, and her true nature had burst forth?
"Ah? You... how did you know?" Shen Yushu was startled and spoke without thinking, but then at once realized she had let something slip. She hurried to explain, "No, no, I... I just used my brain too much and feel a little dizzy..."
"Xiao Shu!" Gu Mengyao looked at Shen Yushu sternly.
"Ah... all right, it's because of Arrow-Brand Bro," Shen Yushu said somewhat helplessly. "Actually, I'm worried about Wang Xinyan..."
"Xiao Shu, you don't want Wang Xinyan to be Wei Zhao's girlfriend?" Hearing Shen Yushu admit it, Gu Mengyao asked in a rather odd tone.
"No!" Shen Yushu shook her head. "I never said I didn't want that!"
"Oh?" Seeing Shen Yushu's innocent expression, which did not look feigned, Gu Mengyao grew even more confused. It seemed she had misread the situation—Shen Yushu did not appear to be unhappy or troubled because Wang Xinyan was rising in status, but because of something else entirely?
So Gu Mengyao asked, puzzled, "Then what are you worried about?"
"I'm worried she'll turn down Arrow-Brand Bro's confession. Xiao Shu hopes she'll become Arrow-Brand Bro's primary wife, so that in the future she'll have Yao-yao to keep her company," Shen Yushu said. "Xinyan is a lovely person. Once she moves into the villa, she should get along very happily with Yao-yao..."
"Move into the villa?" Gu Mengyao was slightly taken aback. "You want her to move into the villa? What do you mean, get along happily? What on earth are you talking about?"
"Nothing. Xiao Shu means... if someday Xiao Shu dies, there should be someone to keep Yao-yao company..." Shen Yushu said after a moment's hesitation.
"Dies? Why would you die when you're perfectly fine? Why bring up such things?" Gu Mengyao looked at Shen Yushu in bewilderment and glared at her. "What has gotten into you today?"
"Nothing at all. Xiao Shu is just sighing over things. People are born, grow old, get sick, and die, and there are accidents and disasters too. If one of these times Xiao Shu were to die, she wouldn't be able to keep Yao-yao company anymore..." Shen Yushu said. "So in the future, let Xinyan keep Yao-yao company instead."
"What kind of nonsense is this!" Gu Mengyao understood Shen Yushu's words less and less. She touched Shen Yushu's forehead and said in puzzlement, "She doesn't have a fever either?"
"No, Xiao Shu already said it's just a casual sigh, just in case!" Shen Yushu had gone back to her usual grinning self. "Xiao Shu is only speaking of a what-if. So if we're looking, we need to find a sister who gets along well with Yao-yao. If Xiao Shu dies and there's no one to help Yao-yao, what if Yao-yao gets taken advantage of? And Xinyan is a good person, kind and gentle, she wouldn't bully Yao-yao, and in the future she'd surely yield the position of primary wife to Yao-yao too!"
"..." Hearing this, Gu Mengyao's face flushed slightly, and she was somewhat at a loss. "Xiao Shu, what on earth are you saying? What are you trying to express?"
"Nothing really. I think we should draw up a plan for Arrow-Brand Bro to win the beauty, so that he can successfully court Xinyan. What do you think?" Shen Yushu said.
