Chapter 2681 — Telling You Why
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Wei Zhao, what are you doing? Come here, quick—I've missed you so..." Had she been in the real world, Yuning could never have said anything so bold and bare. But she believed she was dreaming, and so she grew bold of her own accord.
"I..." Zhao Qibing looked at Yuning on the bed. He gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, thought of his future, thought of the deep hatred between himself and Wei Zhao—and at last made a difficult decision: he would charge in!
The rice was as good as cooked, in any case—so what if Wei Zhao was furious? By then he would be allied in marriage with the hidden Yu family, and Yuning would be his woman. What was there to fear? Besides, Yuning's words had reminded him: if this time he got her pregnant, carrying his child, then in the future Yuning would likely stand on his side as well. What was there to fear from Wei Zhao?
At this thought, Zhao Qibing resolved to stake everything!
He sprang forward at a run—and heard a tremendous "bang!" behind him!
Zhao Qibing was frightened nearly out of his wits again. He turned his head and saw Uncle Zhu come rushing in, now standing in the doorway!
"My god, Uncle Zhu, are you sick in the head? What is it this time?" Zhao Qibing was furious. What was the matter with Uncle Zhu today—was he deliberately trying to scare him to death?
"I... I..." Uncle Zhu was tense with anxiety. Why had Wei Zhao still not come? But there was no help for it; he had thrown in his lot with Wei Zhao, and there was no room now for regret or hesitation. He drew a deep breath and resolved to knock Zhao Qibing unconscious. Just as he was about to lunge forward, a voice came from behind him that made his heart blossom with joy.
"It was I who kicked him in!" Wei Zhao appeared in the doorway of the room, and with one kick sent Uncle Zhu "flying," so that he landed in a corner of the room and lay there unconscious.
"Lin... Wei Zhao!?!" Catching sight of Wei Zhao standing behind Uncle Zhu, Zhao Qibing's legs promptly began to shake. This time he did not doubt Uncle Zhu—as he saw it, Wei Zhao had kicked Uncle Zhu in.
"Zhao Qibing, you've got some nerve! Do you know who she is?" Wei Zhao glanced at Yuning on the bed, saw that her clothes were intact, and breathed a sigh of relief at last. Yet the sight of her gasping and panting told him the drug had already taken effect. Had he arrived one step later, matters would have turned ugly—at the very least, Uncle Zhu would have been exposed.
"I... isn't she Yuning of the hidden Yu family?" Zhao Qibing stammered in reply. "Wei Zhao... what... what are you doing here? This seems to have nothing to do with you, doesn't it? Don't you have a feud with the hidden Yu family?"
"I do. But now I'll tell you why the hidden Yu family and I are at odds." Wei Zhao looked at Zhao Qibing and said mildly, "Yuning was my first love, and in those days my station was not enough to be worthy of her. That is why I have a feud with the hidden Yu family. Do you understand now?"
With Wei Zhao's present standing, he naturally no longer feared that his past would spread abroad. Even if every hidden clan now knew that he, Wei Zhao, had no background and no master behind him, his own strength was already enough to make the hidden clans tremble.
