Chapter 2668 — I Do Not Mind
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Seeing that Wei Zhao did not answer, Yu Dake grew all the more certain, and hurried on: "Mr. Lin, the truth is... my sister already has someone in her heart. If you have feelings for her, then... I know you are the great benefactor of my sister and me, but matters of the heart cannot be forced... We will repay you in other ways!"
"Hm? She has someone in her heart? Who?" Wei Zhao asked instinctively. He had not expected Yu Xiaoke to have a change of heart so quickly.
"A man called Malevolence..." Yu Dake said. "My sister has already fallen deeply in love with this man, and so..."
"Pff... cough, cough..." Only then did Wei Zhao understand—he had been too hasty, his concern clouding his judgment. On reflection, Malevolence and Wei Zhao were, to Yu Xiaoke, two different people. Wei Zhao knew the truth of his identities, but Yu Xiaoke did not. It seemed she had seen how well he treated her, drawn the wrong conclusion, and sent Yu Dake to plead on her behalf!
At this thought, Wei Zhao felt both amused and helpless, yet also found it a little entertaining. A mischievous streak awoke in him, and he wanted to keep teasing Yu Xiaoke in the guise of Wei Zhao! In the past, Wei Zhao would never have done anything so idle, but now that he had feelings for Yu Xiaoke as well, he hardly minded joking with her.
"What is it, Mr. Lin?" Seeing Wei Zhao suddenly cough, Yu Dake was startled, thinking Wei Zhao's heart had been badly wounded. He hurriedly said, "Mr. Lin, I... I did not mean to hurt you. I only meant to say that a short pain is better than a long one..."
"Ha!" After his coughing fit, Wei Zhao suddenly laughed, looking at Yu Dake with a strange expression. "Who says I'm heartbroken? I was only thinking... never mind. That Malevolence is no stronger than I am—at most our strength is equal. I still have a chance!"
"This..." Seeing Wei Zhao refuse to budge, Yu Dake felt somewhat helpless, yet he could hardly press him too hard. After all, Wei Zhao was his benefactor, and having said this much, to say more would be unseemly.
"You needn't concern yourself with this matter. I don't want you mixed up in it—though you are Xiaoke's brother, you have only just been reunited with her," Wei Zhao said, glancing at Yu Dake.
"This... very well..." What else could Yu Dake say? He could only nod reluctantly. Wei Zhao had spoken thus; to interfere further would be to presume too much. It seemed he would have to leave Wei Zhao and Yu Xiaoke to settle it themselves. Still, he offered one last warning: "Xiaoke said just now that if you insist on this, Mr. Lin, then even if she went with you, she might still stray..."
"What?" Wei Zhao was stunned.
"She meant she might stray in her heart..." Yu Dake clarified.
"Oh, she likes Malevolence, does she? That's all right. If she likes him, so be it—I do not mind," Wei Zhao nodded and said. "In fact, even if she strayed with Malevolence in body, it would be all right. I do not mind that either..."
"Hah!?" This time it was Yu Dake's turn to be stunned. Was Wei Zhao serious? Why did it sound so bizarre? Yu Dake did not understand, but he could not bring himself to ask further, and so he shut his mouth.
