Chapter 2621 — Wei Zhao's Promise
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Of course not." Wei Zhao shook his head. The White Leader might be a crippled man now, but with him there to overawe Xiao Yi and Xiao Shiyi, at least for the time being they would not come troubling Wei Zhao again. Having a master—it really did feel good.
"Come to my home. It happens I have another disciple for you to meet—you two can get acquainted, senior and junior." The White Leader said: "This disciple of mine is quite the cook. I will have her prepare a table of dishes, and we can eat and talk."
"Works for me!" Wei Zhao nodded. "Then I will call home."
"Good, I will make a call too." The White Leader picked up the phone on the desk, ready to call his disciple.
Wei Zhao, not wanting their calls to interfere with each other, stepped out of the office first and dialed the young lady's number. He told her he would be a guest at the White Leader's home that evening, that she should not wait up for him, and that she and Xiao Shu should go to bed first.
Meanwhile, the White Leader dialed the number for his home.
His wife answered. The White Leader said directly: "Put Xinxin on."
After a moment, a pleasant, gentle female voice came over the line: "Master, you were looking for me?"
"Yes, Xinxin. In a little while, go and prepare a table of dishes. Have your mistress go down to the supermarket and buy some more ingredients," the White Leader said.
"Ah? Are we having guests tonight?" The disciple called Xinxin was a little taken aback. The White Leader rarely had guests over to the house. Usually she cooked for three; at most, on weekends when the White Leader's son, daughter-in-law, and two grandsons came home, she made more. Today was not the weekend, and the White Leader's family had not come back—so there must be a guest coming?
"Yes. I have taken another disciple—a young man of outstanding talent, a most capable fellow. It happens you two can meet and get acquainted. You are about the same age, you should get along well!" the White Leader said happily.
"Ah?" When Xinxin heard this, for some reason a faint resistance rose in her heart. The White Leader's tone—why did it sound like he was introducing her to a suitor? A young man of outstanding talent, a most capable fellow?
"Xinxin, you must bring out your very best. Once he tastes your cooking, he is sure to come over often after this!" the White Leader said.
"Oh..." Xinxin frowned to herself. Come over often? What did that mean? It really did seem like he was introducing her to someone. But the White Leader was her master, and she was too embarrassed to ask outright. Still, she resolved privately that she absolutely must not let this person become a frequent guest in their home!
In truth, the White Leader had no ulterior meaning at all! He thought highly of Wei Zhao, yes, but he was hardly so eager as to rush into matchmaking between him and his other disciple.
