Chapter 2738 — Taking Her Away
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"So it really was you?" Seeing Kang Jinglong's reaction, Wei Zhao grew all the more certain, and his expression darkened.
"I... I didn't do anything! I just saw Wang Xinyan with you, so I went to the Xiao family. Is that wrong? She was my fiancée to begin with, I..." Kang Jinglong was growing a little afraid. After his attempt to intimidate Wei Zhao with Kang Jingming's background had failed, he had begun to lose his nerve.
"Smack!" Wei Zhao slapped him outright, sending Kang Jinglong sprawling to the floor. "Oh, I didn't like the look of you, so I knocked you out. Was that wrong of me?"
Kang Jinglong did not hear Wei Zhao's last sentence. Had he heard it, he probably would have fainted again from sheer rage.
Wei Zhao scooped Wang Xinyan up in his arms and walked out of the ward. There was nothing wrong with her body now, and there was no point in leaving her in the hospital, so he might as well take her home.
Kang Jinglong had been knocked unconscious, and under the aghast gazes of Xiao Ji, Xiao Ben, and Xiao Qinlin, Wei Zhao carried Wang Xinyan out of the ward.
Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben pursed their lips, wanting to say something but not daring to, and could only watch Wei Zhao leave—furious but silent. As for Xiao Qinlin, she merely gave a faint sigh, wondering whether she had done something wrong.
Should she not have forced her daughter to marry Kang Jinglong? But if Xinyan did not marry Kang Jinglong, what would become of the Xiao family? What would become of the pharmaceutical company she and her husband ran? One arm cannot twist a thigh—Kang Jinglong's backing was not to be underestimated.
But now it seemed Wei Zhao was not afraid of Kang Jinglong at all? Even after Kang Jinglong revealed his background, Wei Zhao had dared to knock him out. Was Wei Zhao being rash, or did he have confidence? Xiao Qinlin could no longer be sure of the pros and cons.
It seemed Wang Xinyan liked being with Wei Zhao. As Wang Xinyan's mother, Xiao Qinlin naturally wanted her daughter's happiness, and so at this moment her heart began to lean toward Wei Zhao—though she did not know whether Wei Zhao was a match for the Kang family.
So Xiao Qinlin did not stop them. She let Wei Zhao and her daughter go. Kang Jinglong had already been knocked out, and his fiancée had been carried off by another man—he had no one to blame but himself.
Wei Zhao brought Wang Xinyan back to the villa. Since she had fainted and had not yet woken, he could not very well hold her while cultivating, so he had Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu help change her into pajamas and put her to bed upstairs.
The night passed without incident. Early the next morning, as Wei Zhao was preparing breakfast, he was surprised to see Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, and Wang Xinyan come downstairs together. Wang Xinyan had not slept in? Wei Zhao was taken aback—he had grown used to Wang Xinyan sleeping straight through until noon these past few days, so seeing her up in the morning was quite a shock.
"Xinyan, you're up?" Wei Zhao looked at her and asked.
"Mm..." Wang Xinyan nodded shyly. "But I'm still a bit sleepy and haven't much energy—but I'm up..."
"That's good..." Wei Zhao nodded and said nothing more aloud, but inwardly he was suspicious. Even if Wang Xinyan were recovering, she could not possibly recover this fast.
