Chapter 2491 — Unmoved
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Sure enough, before long, Wei Zhao heard a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Wei Zhao smiled faintly and rose to his feet, walking over.
"It's me..." Yang Qiqi tried hard to make her voice sound seductive. She had no idea how to entice a man, but she had seen roughly similar scenes in TV dramas, so it was not especially difficult to pull off—only rather embarrassing. Fortunately, her face was covered at the moment, so no one could see her expression.
Wei Zhao opened the door and let Yang Qiqi in.
Once inside, Yang Qiqi shut the door behind her, then said to Wei Zhao, "Young hero, thank you for coming to my aid today. This humble girl pays her respects..."
"..." Wei Zhao was momentarily at a loss for words. From which TV drama had she picked up that manner of speaking? But he had no mind to tease her now, and merely nodded. "It was nothing."
Seeing Wei Zhao's attitude toward her suddenly turn somewhat cold, Yang Qiqi was startled. She could not fathom why Wei Zhao had stopped liking her. Had he not been lewd enough before to fondle her breasts? So why, when she came to throw herself at him at night, was he unmoved?
That change made Yang Qiqi's heart tighten. She did not know what had caused Wei Zhao to become like this, but since she had come, there was no reason to give up halfway. She had to get the Blue Crystal back. Gritting her teeth, she threw her arms around Wei Zhao and buried herself in his embrace...
Only, in her heart, Yang Qiqi was thinking: For Xiao Jiu's illness, I will endure it, but I will repay today's humiliation tenfold. Just you wait—when I am strong, the first thing I will take is your life!
Wei Zhao was also taken aback by Yang Qiqi's sudden action, but he quickly understood the reason for it. Nine times out of ten, his present attitude had made Yang Qiqi uneasy! That guess left Wei Zhao not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Before, although Wei Zhao had been handsy with Yang Qiqi, he had at least shown interest in her, which made it convenient for Yang Qiqi to get close and steal the Blue Crystal. But if Wei Zhao lost interest in her, then naturally Yang Qiqi would have no chance to steal the Blue Crystal at all.
With some reluctance and helplessness, Wei Zhao pushed Yang Qiqi away. He knew she must be gnashing her teeth with hatred inside while forced to put on a fawning face on the surface. This girl's inner strength was truly formidable—and that was exactly what Wei Zhao admired most about her.
Like Yu Xiaoke, she had her own convictions and persistence. Yu Xiaoke was willing to give up a great deal for the children of the orphanage, and Yang Qiqi was the same—willing to sacrifice herself for her friend.
So Wei Zhao truly could not bring himself to take advantage of her. At least at this moment, Yang Qiqi no longer seemed so bad to him, nor so selfish. Stealing the Blue Crystal back was, after all, only reasonable.
Thinking from another angle, if someone had stolen from him the chance to cure Feng Xiaoxiao, Wei Zhao would probably have done the same.
"Heh, no rush. I'll take a shower first..." Wei Zhao said this deliberately to create an opportunity for Yang Qiqi to steal—to let her make off with the Blue Crystal smoothly! Otherwise, with this cool girl's clumsy thieving skills, she would have no chance of success at all!
Wei Zhao was already relaxed enough. Had it been Yu Xiaoke, the Blue Crystal would have been in her hands long ago. But Yang Qiqi was clearly not skilled in this sort of thing, so Wei Zhao simply went to take a shower, leaving her alone in the room to steal as she pleased.
"Ah... all right..." Yang Qiqi was delighted the moment she heard Wei Zhao's words. She thought: So this fellow really is a big lecher after all—he still wants to shower? What he plans to do after showering goes without saying! Hmph, you deserve to lose your things. Once you go in to shower, I'll steal that Blue Crystal. Heh heh heh heh, what a heaven-sent opportunity!
